Özet
Research during the past several decades has demonstrated that when students interact with text while reading, reading comprehension improves. As it is already known reading is normally a silent, hidden process and researchers cannot determine what is happening in the brain by simple observation or by product-based assessment. Asking readers to provide verbal reports or protocols is the most direct way to access this process. Think aloud protocols provide language learners with a means of monitoring their own reading processes as well and characterize reading skills in which they describe each strategic step in learning or comprehending information immediately after it occurs. Although thinking-aloud differs from silent reading, it can be introduced to learners at any level or age, because lifelong learners are supposed to be metacognitive. Lifelong learning (LL) which has been introduced since decades is of vital for both educators and learners in any field and it is possible with LL for anyone to embrace different approaches, teaching and learning methods and practices. Therefore, the learners from early childhood to elder ages can be introduced with thinking-aloud protocols. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of think aloud protocol in language teaching has a crucial impact on learners and their achievement in reading skills. A qualitative research has been carried out to gather data for the study. The research has been implemented on B2 level Faculty of Medicine students and the study tries to determine whether there is an enhancement of reading skills via think aloud integrated reading courses.
