| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To address the person factors that account for reading comprehension differences, a study was conducted with 125 L1-Japanese university students. The results indicated that the participants' vocabulary knowledge, grammar knowledge, listening comprehension ability, and English reading strategy use contribute significantly to explaining the reading proficiency level differences on the CEFR scale. The significance of lexical-grammatical knowledge and listening comprehension ability has often been noted, but the present study has demonstrated that target-language reading strategy use can also account for differences in reading comprehension ability. The L1-Japanese reading strategy use did not show any links with the CEFR level differences.
