According to Shen (2004), the three encoding

strategies identified in the study were rotememorization, student self-generated

elaboration, and instructor guided elaboration. ROTE MEMORIZATION : the use of

REPETITATIVE rehearsal strategiessuch as listening to the instructor present the

sound, shape and meaning of the wordsrepeatedly without elaboration, and havebeen observed to be related to shallowprocessing in the memory.

Therefore, self-regulated multimedialearning (SRML) which carries these

REPETITATIVE rehearsal & self-regulated isvery much in need especially for readingacquisition in this study.

1. SRML provides major support in CHLL for FLLcompared to teachers in school

2. SRML enhance reading competency for

FLL in CHLL because SRML is self-directed &with audio & video for encoding.

3. SRML provide changes in support withprompts along with metacognitivestrategies to realize the scaffold conceptand push the learning competency to themaximum.
