Reading, readability, and textual functions of comprehension questions
Author: Linda L. Gerot
Source: Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, Volume 3, Issue 2, pages: 76 –89
+ Show Description - Hide Description
Questions used in reading comprehension tests have been discussed in terms of the forms they take, the kind of overt response required, and the level of comprehension they evoke. But very little has been said about the kinds of textual functions such questions involve. This paper explores the kinds of textual relations that must be understood in order to respond to various questions.
An understanding of what textual relations must be comprehended has ramifications for both the measurement of reading ability and of readability. The study of readability is concerned with the question: What makes one text more difficult to read (comprehend) than another? Traditionally the assessment of readability level has been based on formal linguistic factors. However, much of the information required for comprehending a written text is not encoded explicitly but is left implicit. It is suggested that implicitness may be a source of reading ease or difficulty.

In the philosophic world today, pragmatism and phenomenology can be found standing at a crossroad. Though each has arrived there via divergent paths and for very different reasons, the direction that each takes in the future may be significantly influenced by the suggestions the other has to offer. The intention of this book is to parallel the two positions in such a way that basic points of convergence and divergence are noted and accounted for in terms of their systematic significance. Each position is presented in such a manner that philosophers engrossed in one movement can enter into the other in a way which allows a real encounter to develop.

ESL matching cloze deletion types and their relationship to vernacular language background
Authors: Richard B. Baldauf, and Robert L.T. Dawson

In recent years, research with both first and second language students has suggested that the standard nth word cloze -procedure could be improved as a measure of reading comprehension through the introduction of multiple-choice or matching cloze formats. In addition, research conducted mainly with first language students, has suggested that the every nth word deletion procedure should be restricted so as to delete only the lexical words in the passage. In this study, three different deletion systems, presented in a matching cloze format, were evaluated as measures of reading comprehension for seventh grade ESL students from Papua New Guinea. The possible interaction of the three deletion types with these students’ vernacular background was also investigated.

SOMMARIOQuest' articolo delinea il contesto sociolinguistico della pianifizione linguistica in Israele. Il presenta una revista delle ricerche che toccano direttamente alia pianifizione linguistica e anche delle ricerche che si trattano degli attitudini verso le lingue diverse, della scelta di lingua, delle regole di parlare, e delle variera derebreo. Finalmente, la revista indica qualchi lacune in questa lettera-tura.RESUMOLa lingvo en la fandpoto: La socilingvistika kunteksto de la israela lingvoplanado.La jena artikolo priskribas la socilingvistikan fonon de la lingvoplanado en Israelo. Gi resumas kaj recenzas la pristudojn de la linvgoplanado kaj ankaŭ la stujojn pri la sintenoj al diversaj limgvoj, pri la elekto de iu lingvo en iu situacio, pri la regulaoj de la parolado, kaj pri la variapj de la hebrea lingvo. La artikolo fine indikas mankojn kaj bezonojn en la gisnuna esplorliteraturo.La nuntempa Israeli estas kvazaù paradizo de la socilingvistika esploristo, pro la granda lingva diverseco de la lando, la "revivigo" de la hebrea, kaj la konsiderinda grado de lingvoplanado, kiu okazas tie.Aliaj gravaj lingvoj en Israelo krom la hebrea estas la araba, la cefa lingvo de la ne-juda enlogantaro; la angla, cefa lingvo de la interstataj kontaktoj de Israelo; la jida, lingvo, kiu devis cedi multajn rolojn al la hebrea, sed kiu ankoraŭ estas tolerata kiel humura, sentimenta kaj tradicia lingvo; kaj amaso de aliaj lingvoj de enkigrintoj, kiuj laŭstupe kaj laŭgeneracie transiras de sia tradicia lingvo al la hebrea, la cefa stata kaj socia lingvo. La studoj pri sinteno al diversaj lingvoj indikas interalie, kiu parolas hebree au angle kun eksteruloj. La stato atendas, ke la judoj el anglalingvaj landoj, enmigrintaj en Israelon, retenu la anglan kaj instruu gin al siaj infanoj, kiel grava nacia ilo de ekstera komunikado; male, la stato kuragigas parolantojn de la jida ktp. rapide transiri al la hebrea.Inter la gisnun nesufiôe esploritaj temoj estas tiu de la lingvoelekto, kiam judoj kaj araboj interparolas (cu hebree, arabe, au angle?); kiuspeca arabe lernas la hebrean? Kiuspeca iosraela judo lernas la araban? Jen unu el la multaj esplorendaj temoj por la estonteco.
