The Effectiveness of Classpoint Technology in Developing Reading Comprehension Skills among Non-Native Arabic Speakers
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The research focused on examining how effective Classpoint technology is, in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of non-native Arabic students, at Yarmouk University Language Center in the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. Specifically, two groups of 40 students were involved. One group was taught using Classpoint technology while the other group was taught using traditional methods. A reading comprehension test was administered to assess the study goals after verifying its validity and reliability. The findings showed that Classpoint technology had an impact on enhancing reading comprehension abilities in the test group compared to their counterparts, in the control group with an eta squared value of 0.428. This indicates that 42.8% of the variance in reading comprehension performance can be attributed to the use of Classpoint technology. More clearly, the results found that the experimental group showed significant improvement in all areas of reading comprehension: literal, inferential, and critical-evaluative comprehension. The results emphasize how digital tools, for education such as Classpoint can boost the reading comprehension skills of non-native Arabic learners effectively. Nevertheless, the study small sample size could restrict the generalizability of the findings. Nevertheless, the results indicate that incorporating tools like Classpoint in language education might prove to be beneficial in enhancing reading comprehension skills among non-native Arabic learners. This supports the idea that there’s potential for use of technologies in educational environments.
