Description¶

TFSST is the comparison technique in this study. The article states it "is a technique that prioritizes reading peripherals. It stresses fun reading activities. There is no direct correction for mistakes, since the main aim is building students' interest and motivation." According to the article, it can be taught to children to develop peripheral vision with tri focus training, and its founder describes it as changing reading from one word at a time to reading more than one word at a time. In this study it served as the control-class treatment for teaching reading comprehension.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Teachers must explain the technique as clearly as possible to students before the teaching and learning process, which the authors say needs more time allotment

Constraints¶

The authors report TFSST was difficult for the students to interpret in this study

Target Learners¶

ninth-grade junior high school EFL students

Learning Goals¶

reading comprehension and reading speed

Claims¶
