Revisiting Text Readability and Processing Effort in Second Language Reading: Bayesian Analysis of Eye‐Tracking Data

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 671-703, June 2026.
Abstract Studies have explored the relationship between text readability and processing effort in second language (L2) reading—as evidenced by eye movements. However, these studies generally relied on short texts, raising concerns about the validity of the analyzed data. This study reexamined these relationships using open‐source eye‐tracking data from

An Experiment with Cloze Procedure on Japanese EFL Learners: On the Diagnostic Power of Cloze Procedure

An Experiment with Cloze Procedure on Japanese EFL Learners: On the Diagnostic Power of Cloze Procedure
クローズ法は読解力あるいは総合的語学能力を容易に、しかも客観的に測定できる可能性を持つテスト方式として最近日本でも論議されるようになったが、日本人英語学習者を対象とした実験報告はまだ十分とはいえない。本論文では特にクローズ法の文章難易度識別力及び受験者の英語能力識別力という二種類の識別力について、琉大生一年次の学生81名を対象として行った実験結果を報告し、クローズ法の持つ特性について論じた。クローズテストは初級、中級、上級のテキストから5語毎に単語を消去するスタンダード型でそれぞれ50のクローズ項目を作成、適語法により採点を行った。これらのクローズテストの信頼性係数は、KR-20の公式では平均 .80でありKR-21では平均 .71であった。上記の三つのテストを総合して信頼性係数を算出したところ ...
