This study examines the impact of authentic versus modified text on L2 Turkish learners' reading comprehension. A total of 230 B1-level Turkish language learners were randomly divided into two groups: one reading a modified text (n = 115) and the other an authentic text (n = 115). Both groups completed a surface-level reading comprehension test.…

Numerous studies have examined the positive and negative effects of various types of interactions that occur while children view electronic book (e-book) stories. However, the effects of the different types of interactions have not been compared, and more importantly, the optimal amount and reoccurrence of these interactions on children has not…

Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are a common way to assess reading comprehension. Every MCQ needs a set of distractor answers that are incorrect, but plausible enough to test student knowledge. However, good distractors are hard to create. Distractor generation (DG) models have been proposed, and their performance is typically evaluated using…

Follmer, D. Jake; Tise, Joseph – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Executive functions (EF) have been theoretically implicated in multiple text comprehension. Yet, the contributions of EFs to comprehension and integration of multiple texts have not been tested empirically, and instructional supports for text integration grounded in EFs are only beginning to be developed. Using a conflicting-text paradigm, this…

Stuart Webb; Ana Pellicer-Sánchez; Andi Wang – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2025
The present study is a partial replication of the most widely cited study of lexical coverage and reading comprehension by Hu and Nation (2000). Ninety-four advanced L2 learners read a short story at one of 90%, 95%, 98%, and 100% lexical coverage and then completed a 14-item reading comprehension test. The results showed that although…

Francesca Crudele; Juliana E. Raffaghelli – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2023
Aim/Purpose: In undergraduate training, helping students improve argumentative text comprehension (CoT) by identifying the elements of an argumentative text and critical thinking (CT) by reconstructing the meaning of the text and constructing their own reflections is relevant. Argumentative skills are essential on both the personal and…

Jensen, Katrine Lyskov; Elbro, Carsten – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Traditional cloze tests (such as the CBM-maze) may be poor measures of comprehension processes beyond the single sentence level. This paper presents an alternative, a deep cloze test with gaps that are strategically chosen to assess comprehension beyond the sentence level. To fill each gap, the reader has to draw global cohesion inferences during…

Fitnat Gürgil Ulusoy; Mustafa Ulusoy – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This experimental study investigates the effects of retelling, reading response, and combined retelling and reading response activities that second-grade students participated in after watching digital stories on their reading attitudes and narrative comprehension levels. In this pre-test--post-test control group design, 140 students, composed of…

The Home Literacy model predicts different outcomes depending on formal and informal literacy practices carried out at home. However, this model does not explicitly consider the potential differences that the media (paper vs. tablets) in which these practices are carried out can have on performance. The present study explored this issue.…

It is acknowledged the need for interventions to improve reading comprehension and its cognitive underpinnings, such as executive functions. The present study implemented a computerized cognitive training for enhancing reading comprehension in primary school children through EF activities embedded in text comprehension exercises. 263 third and…

Snowling, Margaret J.; West, Gillian; Fricke, Silke; Bowyer-Crane, Claudine; Dilnot, Julia; Cripps, Denise; Nash, Marysia; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: There is now substantial evidence that language interventions delivered to small groups can be effective for improving language skills and hence strengthening the foundation for formal schooling. However, there are remaining challenges when delivering such interventions in naturalistic environments at scale. Method: We reflect on three…

Abdulrahman Almalki; Mohammed Alzahrani – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2024
The current study was set to explore the influence of the first (L1) and second (L2) language group discussions on L2 reading comprehension. It also explored two sub-elements that were considered vital to L2 reading comprehension: (a) text genre recognition and (b) character and author's intention and perspective. Participants were 21 college…

Abdul Karim; Thapanee Khemanuwong; Tanjila Ferdous; Tasnova Humaira; Shahin Sultana; Shaik Abdul Malik Mohamed Ismail – MEXTESOL Journal, 2024
The current study examines the role of gender, socioeconomic status, and region in predicting the reading comprehension of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Based on the relevant literature, three hypotheses have been formulated, which entail three independent variables (gender, socioeconomic status, and region) and the dependent…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…
