Improving Advanced Reading Comprehension in a Foreign Language: Summaries vs. Short-Answer Questions.
Bensoussan, Marsha; Kreindler, Isabelle
Journal of Research in Reading, v13 n1 p55-68 Feb 1990
Examines whether the comprehension of English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) students who were trained to summarize improved more than that of students who responded to short-answer questions. Finds that since the reading comprehension of all classes improved significantly, the study could not prove that either approach was the major cause of this improvement. (MG)
