Abstract

The present study was an attempt to answer the question of whether the presence or absence of topic had any role in EFL reading comprehension. Thus the following questions were raised. 1. There is no significant difference in the comprehension of passages with and without topic for Iranian EFL university students considering their level of proficiency. 2. There is no significant difference in the comprehension of passages with and without topic for Iranian EFL university students considering the sex factor. One hundred and eighty two university students majoring in English from Ferdowsi and Azad Universities in Mashad comprised the population of this study. First of all, the Nelson Quickcheck Test A (1978), which consists of one hundred multiple-choice items, was administered. This test was used to measure the subject level of general English proficiency. Then, after a light refreshment the reading comprehension passages were distributed. In this part ten reading comprehension passages from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL, 1992) were chosen. The first five passages had topic, but the last five ones did not. Each of the passages were followed by five reading comprehension questions. The data obtained were analyzed through the statistical techniques of one way ANOVA, T-Test, correlation, and Tuckey test. As a result, it became clear that at the elementary and intermediate level both males and females had better comprehension of passages with topic. While, at the advanced level there was no significant difference between their comprehension of passages with and without topic. Furthermore, it was revealed that while males and remales had a similar level of comprehension of passages with topic, females performed better than males on passages without topic.
