520 $a The variables in this study were the vocabulary words, syntactic complexity of the passages and the discourse form. The measures for assessing comprehension were free recall and comprehension questions.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vocabulary, syntactic complexity and discourse form on the text comprehension of language impaired and non-impaired adolescents. Current research on the effects of these three factors provided the basis for the design of this study.
520 $a Fifteen language impaired and fifteen non-impaired seventh grade students served as the subjects. Three passages were selected from the students' social studies textbook. Three original passages and three altered passages were presented as stimulus material. The passages were altered for vocabulary, syntax and structure.
520 $a The data revealed that comprehension improved far both groups of students on the simplified or altered passages. Modifying vocabulary and syntax and altering discourse form facilitated comprehension for both groups of students, especially the students with language problems. Although altering text affected the performance on both measures of comprehension, this was especially the case for answering literal and inferential questions.
520 $a The findings from this study can serve to help teachers and specialists to facilitate comprehension of expository structures in students with language disorders and normal learners as well. This is the first study that has examined the effect of facilitating text in language impaired students. Therefore, results from this study can be used as a basis for future research.
