Ruhe, Valerie
TESL Canada Journal, v14 n1 p45-60 Win 1996
Examines the effectiveness of graphics as lecture comprehension supports for low-proficiency English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) listeners. The study compared the performance of Asian students in Canada listening to an audiotape while viewing an organizational graphic with that of a control group. Findings indicate that the graphics enhanced listening comprehension. (60 references) (Author/CK)
