Abstract

This study examines how annotation reading strategy can be integrated into an e-portfolio assessment as a way to increase reading motivation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in secondary schools. Combining technology with e-portfolio assessment helps enhance students’ motivation. Building an e-portfolio assessment platform as a media of teaching extends assessment from the classroom to beyond the classroom which helps teachers to monitor the process of students’ homework. The subjects of this study are secondary English learners in China with English levels ranging from A2 to B1, who are preparing for their final year of college entrance examination. The study used a mixed-method research approach combining qualitative data analysis and quantitative interview analyses to investigate the effect of different types of annotated strategies on students’ reading comprehension, reading motivation, and overall language proficiency. The results showed that the implementation of annotated reading greatly improved students’ performance on assignments and exams. However, different types of reading questions had slightly different effects on students. The effects of annotated reading also varied depending on the vocabulary levels of secondary school EFL learners.
