• Narrative Characters' Goals and EFL Readers' Text Comprehension : Focusing on Goal Explicitness

抄録

This study examined the relationship between a narrative character's goal information and text comprehension among EFL readers, with a particular focus on goal explicitness. A total of 70 Japanese university students read eight short narratives in which characters' goals were described either explicitly or implicitly; participants then completed immediate and one-week-delayed recall tasks. The participants were provided with the following two types of retrieval cues: sentences describing characters' goals (goal cues) or sentences stating a story background (neutral cues). The results demonstrated that participants' immediate recall performance did not significantly differ regardless of goal explicitness and cue type, indicating that EFL readers make inferences about a character's goal when it is not explicitly mentioned in the next. On the other hand, delayed recall performance was poorer when participants recalled goal-implicit passages with neutral cues, and this poor performance was mainly attributed to diminished recall of characters' goal-related action statements. This finding suggests that text representations based on inferred goals are less durable and difficult to reconstruct, unless these inferences are reactivated by retrieval cues.
