주제 친숙도에 따른 문법 지식과 어휘 지식이 L2 독해에 미치는 영향 = The Roles of Vocabulary Knowledge and Grammar Knowledge in L2 Reading Comprehension depending on Topic Familiarity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study sought to explore the relative contribution of vocabulary knowledge, grammar knowledge and topic familiarity to L2 reading comprehension. It also explored the roles of vocabulary knowledge and grammar knowledge in L2 reading comprehension depending on topic familiarity. To this end, 92 college students were asked to take vocabulary test, grammar test and reading comprehension test. Their vocabulary knowledge was measured by Vocabulary Levels Test, while a 20-item multiple-choice test was designed to measure their grammar knowledge. The reading comprehension test consisted of two expository texts, followed by ten multiple-choice questions for each text. They were also asked to fill out a questionnaire aimed to examine topic familiarity for the texts. The results of a multiple regression analysis indicated that grammar knowledge showed relative superiority over topic familiarity and vocabulary knowledge in its predictive power for L2 reading comprehension ability. Furthermore, the results of this study revealed that the relative importance of vocabulary knowledge and grammar knowledge in L2 reading comprehension varied depending on topic familiarity. Implications and limitations of the study would be discussed.
