| Abstract | Reading for research purposes obviously goes beyond basic comprehension and requires the reader to have reasonable confidence in and mastery of a range of critical reading skills. There is a generalized concern about student proficiency in this area. This is a difficult challenge in one's own language and even more so for foreign language students. The students involved in this study are enrolled in a two-part Communications course at the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Reading comprises an important part of their endeavours in the programme and developing effective critical reading skills is essential to their success. The purpose of the study is to evaluate an approach to teaching critical reading, employed by the researcher to determine its effectiveness in developing such skills. A control and study group with similar academic profiles were used and a series of reading tests was administered to each group. In addition, interviews and focus group were conducted for qualitative data. Results across groups were then compared. Test results indicate a higher level of successful performance in the class exposed to the reading approach. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
