본 연구는 ‘思考口述’을 통해 漢文讀解學習活動이 어떤 과정을 거치는지 파악하고,이를 통해 漢文讀解構成要因을 밝히고자 한다.사고구술은 생각한 것을 소리 내어 말하는 행위를 의미한다.한문교육 연구자는 이 방법을 활용하여 한문 독해 과정(특히 의미 구성 과정),독해능력 신장을 위한 학습 요인,독해 전략 등의 독해 교육 연구에 관한 실마리를 얻을 수 있다.3명의 연구 대상자들은 小學 을 텍스트로 하여 주당 1회,모두 6회에 걸쳐 1회 당 20분 정도의 사고구술 활동을 실시했다.본 연구는 독해 과정에 영향을 주는 요인을 基本的言語機能,記憶,背景知識,戰略,超認知로 나누어 사고구술 프로토콜을 분석하였다.연구 결과 ‘기본적 언어 기능’의 비율이 59.49%로 가장 높았고,다음으로 ‘기억’이 17.15%의 비율을 차지했다.이러한 결과를 통해 학습자는 제재에 나와 있는 사실적 정보를 처리하는 데 일차적인 노력을 기울인다는 점을 알 수 있었다.한문과 독해 양상에 관한 이와 같은 연구는 추후 漢文科讀解學習要素를 개발하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

The present study explores the effect of topic interest and knowledge on comprehension and their relationship in L2 reading. Given this issue has been studied almost exclusively with fluent L1 readers, it seems necessary to investigate the applicability of the findings from previous studies to L2 reading. In order to enhance the generalizability, the present study employed multiple texts and tasks. The subjects were 126 Korean adult EFL learners representing various academic backgrounds and wide range of English proficiency. Results showed that the effect of knowledge and interest on L2 reading comprehension varied greatly depending on task type, suggesting that any conclusion drawn about the effect of prior knowledge or interest on reading comprehension could be biased depending on the task used to assess the construct. In addition, knowledge of topic vocabulary was the most stable factor of reading comprehension regardless of text structure or measure of reading comprehension. The association between topic interest and topic knowledge proved very weak in general unlike in L1 reading, not supporting schema-theoretic views about the effect of topic interest and its relationship with topic knowledge. More results and discussions are presented along with the statement of limitations and implications both theoretical and practical.

This study explores the effects of reading material types in sustained silent reading on Korean EFL learners, focusing on their reading speed and comprehension. Reading materials are divided into four types: longer texts with Korean vocabulary glosses, longer texts without the glosses, short texts, and a mixture of the three text types. For this research, an seven-month-long sustained silent reading program was developed for high school students. The participants were divided into four groups according to the types of reading texts they were to read. The reading rates and reading comprehension were measured before and after the program was implemented. The results were as follows: First, the gain in reading rates was most noticeable in the group reading longer texts with the vocabulary glosses. Second, there was a statistically significant difference in reading comprehension before and after the program was implemented. The group which read a mixture of the three reading text types showed the most remarkable gain in comprehension. The findings of this study suggest the need for further research on the relationship between reading comprehension and reading rates, and how to incorporate sustained silent reading into the reading curriculum.
