Effects of Reading Skills on Speaking Performances #704

This study explores the effects of reading skills on speaking performances of Japanese university students in an English as a foreign language (EFL) environment. To investigate the relations between these two skills, reading and speaking tests were administered to 99 university students. After clarifying the students’ proficiency in lower- and higher-level processes from the reading test and speaking performances from the speaking test, the relationship between these two skills are discussed.
