Resumo: This article reports a Master thesis study that aimed at investigating, in a population of high school students of English as a foreign language (EFL), the relationship between individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) and learners’ simultaneous attention to form and meaning in reading. Sixty-one participants were submitted to five data collection sessions which comprised two working memory tests, three retrospective questionnaires, a task used to assess attention to form and meaning, and a feedback session. Data revealed, in general terms, that attention to form and meaning in L2 reading is affected by individual differences in WMC, since these differences were shown to determine efficient performance in the task of paying attention to form and meaning while reading in a population of EFL high school students.

Sessenta e um participantes foram submetidos a cinco sessões de coleta de dados que compreenderam dois testes de memória de trabalho, três questionários retrospectivos, uma atividade usada para avaliar atenção à forma e significado, outro questionário e uma sessão de feedback. Os dados revelaram, em termos gerais, que a atenção à forma e ao significado em leitura em L2 é afetada pelas diferenças individuais na CMT, já que essas diferenças parecem determinar o desempenho eficiente na atividade de prestar atenção à forma e ao significado durante a leitura de uma população de estudantes de ensino médio de inglês como língua estrangeira.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPsicolinguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/11944Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 No. 1 (2013): Research and Teaching of Reading and Writing: Psycholinguistic Studies; 139-147Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 Núm. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 139-147Letras de Hoje; v. 48 n. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 139-1471984-77260101-3335reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/11944/8891Bailer, CyntiaTomitch, Lêda Maria BragaD'Ely, Raquel Carolina Souza Ferrazinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-08-07T14:41:43Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/11944Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2013-08-07T14:41:43Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
