The transfer of learning is a crucial aspect of education, particularly when it comes to the transfer of grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school English classrooms to first-year composition courses in college. This inquiry aims to explore the effectiveness of this transfer process and identify any potential challenges or barriers that may hinder students’ ability to apply their prior knowledge in a new academic setting.
One of the key challenges in transferring grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school to college is the difference in teaching methods and expectations between the two educational levels. High school English classes may focus more on rote memorization and grammar drills, while college composition courses typically require students to think critically, analyze texts, and engage in complex writing tasks. This shift in pedagogical approach can make it difficult for students to effectively apply the grammar rules they learned in high school to their college writing assignments.
Additionally, students may struggle to transfer their comprehension skills from reading literature in high school to analyzing academic texts in college. The types of texts assigned in college composition courses are often more challenging and require a higher level of critical thinking and analysis than the novels and short stories commonly read in high school English classes. This can pose a significant barrier to students who may have excelled in high school English but find themselves struggling to comprehend and analyze college-level texts.
To address these challenges, educators can implement strategies that promote the transfer of grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school to college. This may include providing students with opportunities to practice applying grammar rules in a college writing context, offering guidance on how to effectively analyze academic texts, and scaffolding assignments to gradually increase the complexity of reading and writing tasks. By fostering a seamless transition between high school English classes and college composition courses, educators can help students build on their prior knowledge and skills to succeed in their academic endeavors.
