The Communicative Language Teaching And Remedy Through The Teaching Of Reading Comprehension In 5th & 6th Form Case Of Lisala And Kanda Schools In Kinshasa

David Bosilaito Lomboto

Abstract


During our investigation period from February to March 2022, we realized many difficulties and short comings in the reading comprehension lessons chiefly among learners in large classes. These apparently affected both the student’s performance and the teacher’s behavior.

Therefore, an exploration of ways to help learners acquire a wide range of the language through this subject is necessary and to train them in reading comprehension became imperative and was taught in terms of evaluation of reading in the 5th and 6th at secondary school.

 

To read is like to interpret or to understand what the person who is absent has written in order to convey a message as asserted Hornly & Ruse (1980 :516). It is also a remedial to give to someone who doesn’t know to read or not able to read and to understand. We can also agree that, a part from oral media, the written form remains the most used medium among people separated by some distances.
