Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the application computer-assisted concept mapping for improving learners’ English reading comprehension. The research question was: What was the influence of computer-assisted concept mapping on learners’ English reading? Ninety four freshmen who took the English course were divided into low-level and high-level groups according to their English proficiency. Computer-assisted concept mapping strategy was introduced to learners in the class to improve their reading ability. Through the analysis of ANOVA, it is known that the effect of computer-based concept mapping reading strategy has more reading benefit on the high-level group than that on the low-level one.
