Word-guessing Effectiveness and Strategies in Natural Reading of Advanced Chinese Learners:A Case Study Based on Think-aloud Protocols and In-depth Interviews
This case study investigates how two advanced Chinese learners tackled barrier words in natural reading and what kind of word-guessing strategies may lead to successful understanding.The think-aloud protocols and in-depth interviews reveal:three types of barrier words,of which pseudo-familiar words are the most confusing and covert;among the six word-guessing strategies detected,the morpheme strategy is the most frequent one,but the"morpheme + context"strategy is the most successful one.The results show that the way of'homo-morpheme inferring word meaning'has a significant effect on word guessing.In addition,learners'reading methods and learning strategies also play a role in the effect of natural reading.
