Research Abstract

This study is addressed to investigate which is the better predictor for readingcomprehension, text coverage or vocabulary sizes. Two set of reading comprehension tests(RC tests) with ten multiple questions were prepared for this study. By using JACET 8000,beyond-2000 frequency band words used in texts and their word tokens were analyzed.Learners were asked to answer the questionnaire on low-frequency words, the VLT Flashand RC tests. The results showed that the correlation between RC scores and text coveragewas almost identical to that of RC scores and vocabulary sizes.
