AbstractThis paper written in Chinese reports on a computer assisted learning software package for Chinese language reading comprehension which tries to break down the reading process into several tasks, each requiring a specific processing focus. The segmentation and punctuation exercise focuses attention on word and clause level information, the sentence clustering and keyword exercise concentrates on intermediate level processing at the phrase and sentence level, while the topic sentence selection and determination of main theme exercise channels attention to top level thematic understanding. By focusing the students' attention on a particular level of processing and giving them immediate feedback, it provides diagnostic information and training opportunities for students' componential skill in reading comprehension.
