AU - El-Garawany, Marwa Said Mustafa AB - This study aimed at investigating the effect of using Webspiration on developing EFL critical reading skills among preparatory stage pupils. Participants (N = 18) were chosen at random from first year pupils at Elshaheed Hamad El-Saidy Preparatory School, El-May, Shebin El-Kom Educational Zone, Menoufia Governorate, during the second semester of the 2016-2017 school year. An EFL critical reading skills test was developed and administered before and after the experiment. A Webspiration-based program was designed. The experiment lasted for six weeks during which in-class and out-of-class activities based on the use of Webspiration collaborative web-based concept-mapping tool were carried out by the pupils. Results revealed that the study group achieved significant gains in EFL critical reading skills. Thus, using Webspiration proved to have a positive effect on developing preparatory stage pupils' EFL critical reading skills. http://search.shamaa.org/abstract_en.gif OP - pp. 99-137 T1 - Using Webspiration to develop preparatory stage pupils' EFL critical reading skills [Article] UL - 1 http://search.shamaa.org/fulltext.gif http://search.shamaa.org/PDF/Articles/EGJrciet/JrcietVol4No1Y2018/jrciet_2018-v4-n1_099-137_eng.pdf Full text (PDF)
