A mixed method research design was employed to investigate the effects of using graphic organizers (GOs) to facilitate expository text comprehension in a college EFL reading context. Participants were two intact groups (n = 21, n = 31) of 1st year Japanese engineering undergraduates. Over a six-week study period, treatment group practiced using teacher-generated mapping templates when reading. Control group completed text-based comprehension questions. Treatment effects were examined by pre-and post-testing, to examine if using GOs transferred into quantitative improvements in learner comprehension. Treatment group also completed a survey on the efficacy of GO-based reading in improving reading confidence, understanding of rhetorical structure/organization, motivation and interest. Results showed there was high variability in both group’s scores on both tests. Although control group scored significantly higher on both (p < .05) tests, relative gains in the treatment group were significantly higher in non-parametric analysis. Survey responses indicated that using GOs had a positive effect in several areas.

Abstract: The central concepts underlying academic reding and their implications for instruction are outlined as well as the development of reading curricula including the analyses and choosing material and text. Reading teachers need to design content based courses by building coherent and effective reading curricula. So teachers need to set ex- pectations for their students and assist them in achieving them by means of principled and purposeful reading instruction. In academic settings reading instruction is consid- ered to be the important means for learning information and access to explanations. It is also used to carry out language-learning tasks usually with writing activities, though listening and speaking activities may be linked to reading as well. Key words: multiple purpose, to synthesize, integrated skills, bilingual.
