초록/요약
The use of dual-mode, i.e., listening with scripts, and pausing has been suggested as one of the activities (Chang, 2009; Field, 2008) to improve L2 listening skills. However, little is known about the dual-mode together with syntactic parsing with pauses for listening comprehension. The study investigates whether the concurrent use of ‘reading while listening’ and ‘parsing with pauses’ affects the students’ listening comprehension. A total of 37 students participated in all four activities: 1) Original (original audio only); 2) Original + Script (original audio with script); 3) Pause (pause-inserted audio only), and; 4) Pause + Script (pause-inserted audio with script). The students were divided into the high and low levels in total, the high and low listening and reading levels, respectively. The results of the study showed that ‘reading while listening’ combined with ‘parsing with pauses’ was beneficial for listening comprehension within the low levels more than the high levels. To enlarge the gains from the activity, it seems necessary to have a certain threshold of reading proficiency for the low levels as well as an authority to control the speed of the pause-inserted audio according to their silent reading rate for both the high and low levels.
