On the other hand, pupils were assessed as low performing particularly in subjects using English as a medium of instruction since they were used of their first language. This study Manobo-Dulangan Lexicography: A Reference to a Mother-Tongue Based System aimed to assess the effect of the materials in the pretest and posttest of Manobo Village Elementary School pupils. It also discussed the significant difference between the mean gain of the control group and experimental group. The respondents of the study were sixty Manobo Grade 3 pupils. The data were gathered through a random sampling procedure. Meanwhile, the level of achievement of the control group and experimental group during pre-test is low. The level of achievement of both groups had improved in the posttest. It shows that the students had improved their understanding after the lessons had been taught to them. The overall mean gain scores of the control and experimental groups showed that there that there was an improvement between the two groups.

Both academic reading and leisure reading are evaluated from students' responses. Design/methodology/approach – Both qualitative and quantitative data are collected. In total, eight college students volunteered for in-depth interview to express their strategy in reading e-books. Reading strategies employed by college students are summarized. A set of questionnaire items to assess electronic reading strategies and e-book features for both academic and leisure reading is used for collecting quantitative data. To determine differences between academic reading and leisure reading, pair-t is used among 201 respondents. Findings – Interview data reveal that students use various strategies in reading e-books. These reading strategies are categorized into " Use of prior experiences " , " Comprehension and decision making " , and " Self-regulation and self-monitoring ". From 26 questionnaire items for assessing students' need of reading strategies, 16 are found significantly different between academic reading and leisure reading (p , 0.05). The necessity level of many e-book features is significantly higher for academic reading than for leisure reading (p , 0.05). Research limitations/implications – Research on students' use of strategies in electronic reading is needed in the rich information world. In this study, the assessment of necessity level of using various electronic reading strategies and features provided by e-book systems assessed from students' responses might be helpful for design of e-book systems. However, further research on different reading audiences and specific domains may shed light on more guidelines for implementation and application. Originality/value – It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide suggestions for the innovation of reading supports embedded in e-book systems.
