영문 초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate what reading beliefs Korean primary school L2 readers possess and how their reading beliefs are related to their reading behaviors and readability among the multiple stories. Though current literature in L2 reading has focused on great interest in the reading comprehension of a single story or text, little interest was given to L2 readers' conceptions and readability among the multiple stories. The researcher first diagnoses four Korean primary school readers' reading beliefs, followed by story retelling to investigate their reading behaviors. Finally, their readability and its criteria are examined after reading five stories. School instructions or home literacy environments in English reading could influence L2 readers' reading beliefs and behaviors which might in turn be associated with their readability among the multiple stories. The results showed that L2 readers have their own reading beliefs and behaviors, which are influenced by their school instructions. In addition, Korean EFL readers' reading beliefs and behaviors were strongly connected with their readability among the multiple stories.
