Abstract

This study examined the effect of two different kinds of interesting details (seductive details and interesting elaborations) on EFL reading comprehension for Korean college students. Recall protocols were used as a measure of reading comprehension. Participants were 118 Korean college EFL students. Results of a MANOVA indicated that seductive details interfered with Korean EFL readers’ recall of common, and main ideas, confirming past research showing the interference effect of seductive details. However, results also indicated that interesting elaborations were not significantly beneficial to EFL reading comprehension when compared to the baseline text. Proficiency level had a significant effect on every dependent measure while gender did not. There were two interaction effects of text type by proficiency level and by gender on the recall of common ideas. While the performance of lower proficient readers was better when they read an interesting elaborations version than when they read a seductive details version, higher proficient readers did not show any performance difference between the two text types. Also, male students recalled more of common ideas when they read the EL text version than when they read the SD text version. Female students, however, showed no performance difference between the two text versions.
