For comparison purposes the fourth study also elicited responses from native English speakers. The studies investigated a bio-chemistry student's experience reading a survey article on genetics, two biology students' experiences reading textbook material on genetics, an economics-international relations student's experience reading an analysis of the voting process, and three South East Asian history students' experiences reading the introduction to a basic history text.
This paper focuses on the Israeli students' handling of specialized English discourse and discusses findings from four complementary studies conducted by a small group of investigators. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have investigated the reading of English texts in the subject disciplines from the viewpoints of the native-English-speaking professor in the particular field, the teacher of English as a foreign language, and the advanced learner of English who is a student in the particular field.
