Reading Miscue Analysis for an English Language Learner"s Reading Comprehension

  The purpose of this paper was to gain insight into the reading process and literacy proficiency of a third-grade English as a Second Language (ESL) learner, through the way of Reading Miscue Analysis (RMA) which was initiated by Y. Goodman, Watson and Burke (1987) and developed and supported by Teachers Applying Whole Language (TAWL). This study attempted to provide a case study of one English learning reader"s reading miscues, and to suggest instructional directions for her literacy development based on the data analysis of reading miscues, stating that the participant has demonstrated her comprehension ability to understand narrative text by reading the story (90.47%) and retelling it through the way of reading miscue analysis.
