  <p>This study aimed to investigate how two types of reading training ― silent reading and whispering-to-oneself reading ― facilitate Japanese English-language learners’ listening comprehension. 117 university students were divided into four training groups according to the level of their listening comprehension and the types of training they were instructed to carry out as well as two control groups. A pre- and post-test were conducted on all of the six groups before and after the six-week training session. The results of a two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that both the higher and lower level silent reading groups significantly improved their listening comprehension in comparison to the control groups. Whispering-to-oneself reading, on the other hand, was found to be effective only for the higher group; no significant differences were shown in the scores of the lower group. A possible interpretation for the difference in the performance between the silent reading and the whispering-to-oneself reading groups is that reading silently, without the cognitive load of vocalization, facilitated sentence comprehension in both levels. In contrast, whispering-to-oneself reading was effective in only the higher group as it was better at processing phonetic information. The results also suggest that silent reading is more applicable to learners at all levels and to the wider language education context, whereas the effect of whispering-to-oneself reading depends on the level of a learner.</p>
