The following is a passage from a peer-reviewed journal article: "While providing students with sufficient time and practice to familiarise themselves with the procedure, teachers should also be aware that there are possibly some students who will not find the procedure comfortable to use and especially so in a group due to learner differences mentioned earlier. Furthermore, when the practice period is over, the teacher could perhaps allow the students to determine their own group members so that they will at least not feel uncomfortable in the group. However, if such is the case, the teacher should ensure that at least one member of the group is of higher proficiency and reading ability who can play the role of a knowledgeable peer so that the instructional procedure can be beneficial. Finally, while think-aloud by the students themselves is crucial in the instructional procedure examined in this study, think-aloud by the teachers themselves is also essential. This is because the teacher would be required to think aloud so as to model comprehension processes and to provide examples of think-aloud itself before encouraging students to use it. As with any other instructional procedures that require the use of think-aloud as part of the instruction, the underlying assumption is that the teachers themselves are proficient and comfortable in carrying out think-aloud."
