Study on the Factors of Affecting L2 Reading Information Processing and their Regulatory Strategies

Abstract

L2 reading information processing is influenced by various factors, and mastering the relevant influencing factors and their regulatory strategies is crucial for effectively improving L2 reading proficiency. This study explores the influencing factors and their regulatory strategies in L2 reading information processing through the scale survey. It is found in the study that linguistic factors, non-linguistic factors, and reading regulatory strategies all have significant impacts on the effectiveness of L2 reading information processing. Linguistic factors, such as vocabulary size and grammar knowledge, are considered as the most critical factors influencing L2 reading outcomes and are essential for comprehending and interpreting reading material information. Non-linguistic factors like attention and memory also play crucial roles in reading information processing, with focused attention and efficient memory utilization aiding in the extraction of reading information. Therefore, it is necessary to employ appropriate regulatory strategies during L2 reading process, such as cognitive regulation strategies and social interaction strategies, to effectively enhance reading efficiency. This research contributes to optimizing the teaching effectiveness of L2 reading and promoting the development of reading ability.
