Implication

Quasi-experimental analysis shows that extensive, timed, and repeated oral reading improve reading rates and comprehension in Japanese L2 learners.

Key Points

  • All three reading fluency treatment groups significantly improved reading rates while maintaining comprehension.
  • Group 1, which received extensive, timed, and repeated oral reading alongside training, had the best results.
  • Three texts of varying length and difficulty were used to assess reading performance at three points during the study year.
  • This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of diverse reading strategies in developing L2 reading fluency.
