Abstract
Written discourse comprehension implies a complex inferential function. In this study, we analyse those inferences taking place after reading (so-called offline), known to be elaborative and complementary. Following a non-probabilistic convenience sampling, we carried out a qualitative, descriptive study with 30 Sino-speaking adult migrants living in Madrid. The POEM test (Ureña, Flores & Martín Leralta, under review) divided them in 3 equitative groups of initial, intermediate and advanced level. The objective was to identify the type of offline inferences most challenging for the participants when reading public notices in Spanish L2. The frequency of appearance in daily life of those notices and the level of proficiency were also analysed. Experts in inferences and in Spanish as a migration language validated the reading test. Results showed some relevant features of this reading profile and its didactic consequences to train the inferential skill.
