| Abstract |
This quantitative study investigates the effect of reading-aloud assignments in Spanish Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses on students' language proficiency. The research involved 11 high school students (8 juniors and 3 seniors) in Spanish 3 and 4 CE courses during the 2023- 2024 school years. Over a period of one year, students completed around 60 reading-aloud assignments through Canvas LMS, where they read texts related to class topics and submitted voice recordings for feedback. Proficiency was assessed using the Standards-based Measurement of Proficiency (STAMP) test in Spring 2023 and Spring 2024. Results showed statistically significant improvements in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, as well as overall, with p-values less than 0.05 indicating statistically significant gains. These findings suggest that reading-aloud assignments can enhance language acquisition and boost standardized test scores in CE Spanish courses. While there is a gap in the literature on concurrent enrollment language programs, this study highlights the potential benefits of using technology and innovative teaching strategies to support language development in high school students. |
