概要 In this experimental design, 1st-year students (N = 50) studying in
compulsory English language courses at a Japanese university were randomly assigned to one of the two
treatment groups. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in post-treatment reading rates for
the ER group over the grammar translation group, while controlling for time on task. Results which provide
evidence of both the effectiveness and efficiency of developing reading rates through ER support its broader
inclusion in school programs versus traditional grammar translation exercises. The implication for further
research is that classroom-based, experimental reading studies which control for similar time spent
conducting treatment tasks can be designed and conducted.
