Reading comprehension is one core area of cognitive sciences and have produces deep understanding of human mind and for leaning. Reading comprehension in second language goes beyond general reading comprehension in terms of constructing specific knowledge domain representation despite they might share similar cognitive mechanisms. There is long history of L2 reading comprehension studies and instruction but little has close connections with the nature of its mental processes and representation and consequential education implications. This independent study is specifically designed for students interested in exploring these aspects and hope to develop some insight. The main purpose is to develop a proposal for degree thesis and possibly future research project.
