Some processes underlying text comprehension

The paper presents text comprehension as a complex process implying the active involvement of many different components, kinds or sources of information and mental representations. It also describes the research, carried out among Croatian EFL teenage learners, with the aim of getting insights into their reading behaviour while processing three different English texts. Due to the data triangulation including cloze-tests, think-alouds and semi-structured interviews, i.e. gap-filling, parallel introspection and immediate retrospection procedures, we expanded our knowledge about how understanding works at both levels (lower-level and higher-level processing) and concluded that text comprehension does result from the coordination of various activities implying reading as a system, which greatly depends on this interaction.
