| Summary: | The purpose of this project paper is to high it the usefulnesosf peer tutoring in
the teaching of reading activity in Malaysian school setting and the benefits that peer
tutoring will bring to the tutor, tutee and the teachers who are involved in this scheme.
Suggestions are given on how to incorporate peer tutoring for reading activity in
Malaysia school setting. Various peer tutoring schemes have been implemented over the
years in America, United Kingdom and Australia by using childu+en, college and
university students as tutors. Some of the schemes prove to be successful. Various
research findings have been put forward as an evidence that poor tutoring is a useful
technique that should not be overcook. The findings of the peer tutoring schemes stated
in this project paper were very encouraging. Students who are involved in pax tutoring
go through changes from the behavioral perspective, attitudes towards the subject
matter, increased motivation and increased fluency in reading. An example of lesson
plan is provided to highlight peer tutoring as a useful technique that can be easily
adapted into the teaching of reading in the classroom. |
