        The Effects of Professional Background Knowledge and Text Simplification on the Reading Comprehension of Adult Learners of English

        Jon Chandler 한국응용언어학회 2020 응용 언어학 Vol.36 No.2

        Despite numerous studies on each topic individually, background knowledge and text simplification have rarely been looked at together in one study review. Furthermore, background knowledge tends to be looked at in cultural, and not professional, terms. This study looks at the reading comprehension of adults in an EFL context. It sought to find whether possession of background knowledge was more important to comprehension than the simplification of reading materials. As such, 160 Korean professionals were scored on their reading comprehension of both implicit and explicit information, using texts that were either simplified or from an authentic source, and either related to their area of professional expertise or on an unrelated, general topic. The study"s findings indicate that background knowledge is far more important to the learner, and that text simplification provided no benefit to readers, regardless of their level of familiarity with the topic of the text. Additionally, for explicit questions, those with relevant background knowledge performed significantly better than those without it, while for implicit questions, readers possessing professional background knowledge related to a text scored significantly higher than those reading texts that required no such specific knowledge. The findings overall indicate a need for a greater focus on the unique pedagogical needs of adult learners, such as those identified in the current study, as part of an effort to enhance their learning programs.
