Reasoning and Comprehension Processes of Linguistic Minority Persons Learning from Text
Abstract
The three-year project 'Reasoning and Comprehension Processes of Linguistic Minority Persons Learning from Test' has investigated processes and strategies of students for whom English is not the native language (ESL) as they negotiated the demands of learning from academic tests. For comparative purposes, we also examined the processes and strategies of native English speaking students. Our initial work was largely exploratory and descriptive. We began our investigations with talk-aloud protocol studies of the strategies students use to answer questions from Oceanography and Psychology textbooks commonly used in introductory level courses.
