日本における英語学習において、初級学習者は L2 英悟の語彙を日本語の翻訳を介して理解しているか、また上級になると直接第2 言語を処理するようになるか、という習熟度の変化にともない第2 言語語彙処理プロセスが変化するかどうかを脳磁図(MEG)を用いて観察した。分析の結果から上級者は単語認知処理において処理速度が速く、また初級者は脳のより多くの部位を使用して意味処理を行っていると判断された。

Extensive reading has recently been recognized as an effective means of enhancing L2proficiency, and there are numerous studies that report statistical significance in reading speed.However, very few studies explain the relation between the number of words read and readingspeed. In this study, the relation between the number of words participants have read and readingspeed was analyzed. A very strong correlation between the two was observed (r=.776, p=.000). Theresults showed that the more words learners read, the faster the learners’ reading speed increases.Moreover, it is found that there is a huge difference in reading speed between readers of five hundredthousand words and readers of one million words; the former is a little faster than the averagereading speed of non-native speakers (128.44 wpm), but the latter (242.67 wpm) is that of nativespeakers. The current article concludes that ER can enhance reading ability which is not measuredby the standardized tests.
