2. By Carol A. Fraser Reading Rate in L1 Mandarin Chinese and L2 English Across Five Reading Tasks

3. Topics to be covered Research questions Variables Justification of the current study

4. Research questions Q1:Is there a difference in reading rate (L1 vs. L2) for each of the five tasks? If so, the same across all the tasks? Q2:Is there a difference (L1 vs. L2) in task performance on the scanning, skimming, learning and memorizing tasks? Q3:Are there group differences (Canada group vs. China group)?

9. Moderator variable — L2 proficiency Examine the impact of L2 proficiency on L2 reading rate and task performance, The listening scores of CELT used as a covariate

11. Reading rate reflecting reading fluency: an important issue for many ESOL students. English speakers of other languages Justifications

12. A considerable gap in L1/L2 reading rates for the majority of L2 readers Difficult to interpret the extent and significance of the observed L1/L2 reading rate gap Little research done on the nature of the reading performance behavior among L2 learners

13. Justifications Little research done on the relationship between the reading rates and reading performance Previous studies on reading rate confining to one task type

14. Some related terms Reading fluency Hierarchy of five tasks

15. Reading fluency “ The ability to read text rapidly, smoothly, effortlessly and automatically with little attention to the mechanics of reading such as decoding ” (Meyer, 1999, p. 284).

16. Types of reading Scanning Lexical access or word recognition component of reading SkimmingLexical access and semantic encoding Rauding Normal reading. sentence integration in addition to lexical access and semantic encoding LearningRemembering the ideas in the text read Memorizing Being able to recall the information accurately

21. Measures CELT: Form A, listening portion 10 short expository texts from TOEFL Various measures used to match the difficulty level of the passages Microsoft word 2000 – counts, average, readability statistics Performance measures of five tasks: * Can the listening portion alone test the language proficiency on the whole?

23. Data Collection Two Phases: CELT scores L2 proficiency Research booklets of tasks reading rate and task performances

24. The order counterbalanced The order of presentation was counterbalanced for both language (L1 or L2) and passage (PA or PB)

26. Data analysis Descriptive statistics A repeated measures ANOVA ( 单因素重复测量方 差分析） used to compare the reading rates and task performance of the two groups of native speakers of Mandarin Chinese in their L1 and L2 across five different reading tasks A repeated measures ANCOVA( 单因素协方差重 复测量分析 ) applied to the L2 rate variables and multivariate ANCOVA （多因素协方差重复测量分 析） applied to the performance variables

27. Results Measures on Reading Rate (Table 1) Repeated measures ANOVA applied to compare L1 to L2 reading rates across the five tasks (Table 2)

28. Q1: Is there a difference in reading rates (L1 vs. L2 for each of the five tasks? In general, the task rates in both the L1and L2 reading conditions followed the faster to slower hierarchy The Chinese participants in this study read faster in the L1 (Chinese) condition than in the L2 (English) condition on all five tasks.

29. The differences or changes in reading rate from L1 to L2 passages were for the most part not the same between tasks. There was more change in reading rates between pairs of tasks in the L1 than in the L2. Q1: Is this difference the same across all tasks?

30. Higher scores on the performance measures in their L1 than their L2 tasks except the multiple-choice questions attached to the learning task Greatest differences between L1 and L2 performance measures in the skimming and memorizing tasks Q2: Is there a difference (L1 vs. L2) in task performance on the scanning, skimming, learning and memorizing tasks?

31. Q3: Are there group differences in reading rate? The Canada group had less difference in L1/L2 reading rates than the China group. The China Group read faster on all L1 reading Tasks than the Canada Group.

32. Q3: Are there group differences in task Performance across four reading tasks? The China group had higher scores than the Canada group on all measures except the L2 recall task. The Canada group demonstrated a much smaller difference in their L1/L2 recall scores than the China group.
