The Effect of Syntax on Readability for ESL Students in Puerto Rico
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of manipulating the degree of sentence combining on reading comprehension for two groups of ESL students. This approach to the effect of syntax on readability challenged the usual sentence length criterion of commonly used readability formulas which deem short sentences easy to read. Eighteen short passages were developed in three versions. Vocabulary and content were held constant while sente…
