This research investigates the use of dual-language texts to scaffold second language reading comprehension. These texts hold out the promise of allowing L2 learners to read and enjoy the kinds of materials that are complex and entertaining enough to make them motivated to read more in the target language. A sample of 38 Korean university students participated in the study. A within-subjects quasi-experimental design was used to compare participants’ reading performance with access to parallel and interlinear translation versions of the same text. They also indicated which translation type they favored and provided reasons for their preference. Findings were that learners comprehended the two translations at roughly the same level. They felt that the parallel passage was more difficult but they did not look up more words in one text or the other. They did not favor either translation type over the other regardless of their L2 reading proficiency. These results suggest that parallel and interlinear translations are comparable in their comprehensibility and even though learners perceive the parallel passage as being more difficult learners do not prefer one type over the other and they were able identify several advantages and disadvantages for each.
Abstract
This research investigates the use of dual-language texts to scaffold second language reading comprehension. These texts hold out the promise of allowing L2 learners to read and enjoy the kinds of materials that are complex and entertaining enough to make them motivated to read more in the target language. A sample of 38 Korean university students participated in the study. A within-subjects quasi-experimental design was used to compare participants’ reading performance with access to parallel and interlinear translation versions of the same text. They also indicated which translation type they favored and provided reasons for their preference. Findings were that learners comprehended the two translations at roughly the same level. They felt that the parallel passage was more difficult but they did not look up more words in one text or the other. They did not favor either translation type over the other regardless of their L2 reading proficiency. These results suggest that parallel and interlinear translations are comparable in their comprehensibility and even though learners perceive the parallel passage as being more difficult learners do not prefer one type over the other and they were able identify several advantages and disadvantages for each.
