Reading in one subject matter, also referred to as narrow reading, is believed to facilitate reading comprehension and thus improve vocabulary, due to the repetition of a topic along with topic-related words. While the concept was first introduced more than three decades ago, it has not been widely researched empirically. To address this gap, the present study examines how, if at all, narrow reading affects second language (L2) learners' text comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.

520 $a Reading in one subject matter, also referred to as narrow reading, is believed to facilitate reading comprehension and thus improve vocabulary, due to the repetition of a topic along with topic-related words. While the concept was first introduced more than three decades ago, it has not been widely researched empirically. To address this gap, the present study examines how, if at all, narrow reading affects second language (L2) learners' text comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.
520 $a The study employed a pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test design, with six treatment sessions between the pre-test and post-test. The participants were sixty-eight EFL learners from two intact Korean high school classes. Each class was randomly assigned to either a narrow reading group or a comparison group: the narrow reading group read narrowly about two topics, while the comparison group read about six different topics including the two narrow reading topics. After the six treatment sessions, each participant took vocabulary and reading comprehension tests, which were followed three weeks later by a similar delayed post-test. These tests measured the acquisition of target words and reading comprehension of two topics: a narrow reading topic and a topic that only the comparison group had read about. All participants also completed an exit questionnaire on their experiences in the reading sessions. The results of the vocabulary and reading comprehension measures were analyzed using a mixed-model ANOVA, and qualitative analysis was done of participants' responses to the exit questionnaire.
520 $a The findings of this study were in line with the theoretical expectations, in that narrow reading of thematically linked texts facilitated participants' reading comprehension of the topic. However, the reading comprehension emerging from narrow reading did not transfer to comprehending different topics. With regard to vocabulary acquisition, participating in narrow reading led to greater receptive and productive vocabulary gains than reading thematically unrelated topics.
520 $a The findings provided a nuanced understanding of the effects of narrow reading by (1) demonstrating that reading comprehension emerging from narrow reading does not extend to a non-thematically-related topic, and by (2) illustrating that narrow reading leads to both productive and receptive vocabulary gains.
