Abstract

Due to the difficulty of finding valid and reliable testing material for our subjects to read, this current study has been significantly delayed. Finding reading passages that can be rated for difficulty for a non native speaker to read has been difficult and only in recent weeks have we found, through the generous help researchers in the linguistics department at BYU, materials that we finally feel can be used in such a study as the one we have proposed to carry out. Finally having reading passages that have been previously rated and used in research provides reliable passages with which to test our subjects and add to the validity of the study that we have proposed. Due to the fact that this study has not yet been completed we felt that a final report could not be written, however we will provide in the following paragraphs a description of our study and the proposed goals that we hope to accomplish very soon.
