Effect of Rapid Reading on Reading Speed and Reading Comprehension Ability in Korean Language Learning

This study proves the relationship of rapid reading training between the reading speed and the reading comprehension. The experiment was carried out for eight weeks with thirty students who were divided into a control group and an experimental group. The control group was lectured on the general reading lessons while the experimental group was tested on rapid reading training, sense unit reading, rate-build up reading, class-paced reading, and self-paced reading. As a result of the experiment, the reading speed of the experimental group increased between 300 to 400 words per minute, and the text comprehension ability also increased at a relatively faster pace than the control group. Thus, constant rapid reading training will yield the faster reading speed and the better understanding of the text. Therefore, if rapid reading training is constantly and suitably applied to the reading lectures, big differences would result for many students.
