Conklin, Kathy; Alotaibi, Sara; Pellicer-Sánchez, Ana; Vilkaite-Lozdiene, Laura – Second Language Research, 2020
Reading-while-listening has been shown to be advantageous in second language learning. However, research to date has not addressed how the addition of auditory input changes reading itself. Identifying how reading differs in reading-while-listening and reading-only might help explain the advantages associated with the former. The aim of the…
