|
In Pakistani
context, the importance of English language cannot be denied in
any stage of life, like to get entry into university education
or giving interview for a job etc. Students who have stumpy
background in their English competencies always struggle at
various stages. Reading skill, which is pre-requisite in the
understanding English language, is highly needed in our country.
Rote learning is a learning technique, in which a piece of
information is learned by the repetition of the items in that
information. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role
of Rote Learning in students’ achievement in the reading skill
of English language. A sample of fifty students was taken from
the population. The students were pre-tested and then divided in
to two equal groups of control and experimental groups. The
teaching of control group remained unchanged while the
experimental group was taught through Rote Learning techniques.
Different methods of Rote learning like Chunking, Rhyming,
Mediation, Recital and Bridging were used for the study of
experimental group. The results of the study in post-test as
well in retention test revealed that the reading skill of the
experimental group was improved at significant level in the
comparison of control group.
