This study follows the researcher’s reading model on Chinese advertisement boards designed in 2009. Based on this model, 10 participants were tested to understand their CSL (Chinese as a second language) reading comprehension. The research purpose aimed to examine how the factor of dominate language context influences readers’ CSL reading comprehension and selection of reading strategies when reading Chinese advertisement boards.This study is composed of two groups, who are Japanese students and female immigrants. Every participant was required to talk about his/her reading comprehension and selection of reading strategies after reading the language materials. Based on the need of data collection, participants were also interviewed. The researcher then decoded and categorized their reading records and did a cross-comparison of how the dominate language context influences two groups’ reading comprehension and selection in reading strategies.The researcher found that when they read the Chinese advertisement boards, both groups would apply multiple strategies and cues knowledge to help them comprehend and construct meaning from reading. However, the major difference of reading miscue between two groups was: when the materials contain more ideas related to local languages and cultures, the female immigrant group performed much better than Japanese student group on reading comprehension. The reason was greatly related to the role and function of Chinese in the female immigrant group’s daily life. Therefore, this study suggested that except for the traditional focus on reading strategies and teaching methods, the present researchers of reading should put more effort on examination of how a reader’s context of dominate language use in the daily life influences his/her dynamic CSL reading process. |
