| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined relationship between text-types of reading (Story-text, Explanation-text, and Web-text) and vocabulary, and word association. As a result, in participant-survey, we obtained the consistent results with previous studies, that is, only reading story-text had unique positive effect on vocabulary. On the other hand, in corpus experiment, explanation-text got the best score. These results suggested that “Story-text reading effectivity” found in the previous studies might not come from text itself, but factors outside of text, for example, reading motivation differences.
