Abstract Objectives of the Study The current study was conducted to identify the following two main objectives: I. Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ some CL skills. This main objective branched out into the following sub-objectives: 1) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ justifying the author’s word choice. 2) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ recognizing the author’s implied messages. 3) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ investigating multiple viewpoints. II. Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ attitude towards novel. This question branched out into the following sub-objectives: 1) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ enjoyment of studying novel. 2) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ attitude towards the utility of studying novel in learning English. 3) Identifying the effectiveness of teaching novel using QtA strategy in developing EFL 11th graders’ attitude towards studying novel for personal development.Hypotheses of the Study In light of the literature reviewed and the results of the needs assessment questionnaires, two main hypotheses were tested as follows: I. There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean scores obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in developing some CL skills on the CL Test. This main hypothesis branched out into the following sub-hypotheses: 1) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean scores obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in justifying the author’s word choice on the CL Test. 2) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean scores obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in recognizing the author’s implied messages on the CL Test. 3) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean scores obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in investigating multiple viewpoints on the CL Test. II. There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean values obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in developing attitude towards novel on the the Attitude-towards-Novel Scale. This main hypothesis branched out into the following sub-hypotheses: 1) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean values obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in enjoying studying novel on the Attitude-towards-Novel Scale. 2) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean values obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in appreciating the utility of studying novel in learning English on the Attitude-towards-Novel Scale. 3) There would be a statistically significant difference (favouring the treatment group) between mean values obtained by the treatment group and the non-treatment group in valuing studying novel for personal development on the Attitude-towards-Novel Scale. |
