STRATEGIC COMPETENCE AND EFL READING TEST PERFO...

Strategic competence (a higher-order executive ability that executes strategies for language
use) has long been theorized as a significant non-linguistic factor affecting second language
(L2) communicative ability. Despite its recognition  the parameters of strategic competence
have been poorly defined and researched. Utilizing the multitrait-multimethod approach  this
book examines the relationships of general strategic knowledge and strategic regulation in a
specific high-stakes  test-taking context to English as a foreign language (EFL) reading test
performance over time through the use of a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. Since
it is large-scale and longitudinal in nature  this research provides an opportunity to
generalize the unfolding nature of strategic competence. The book concludes by proposing
multidimensional models to assist researching strategic competence and by discussing
pedagogical models for strategic reading instruction.
