The Assessment of Foreign Language Reading Comprehension: Refining the Task.

Wells, Daniel R.

Unterrichtspraxis, v19 n2 p178-84 Fall 1986

The recall protocol procedure can be used as an alternative measure of foreign language reading comprehension and as a diagnostic tool. Protocol use encourages students to attend to the meaning of a foreign language passage and helps teachers to instruct students in the complex art of meaning construction. (CB)
