Abstract:
In this piece of research, we are investigating the strategic competence of 290, 14 year-old pupils, all attending secondary schools in Xanthi and Rodopi, native and non native speakers of Greek. More specifically, we are interested in our subjects’ use of guessing in reading and how accurate such guesses are. Apart from accuracy we are also investigating our subjects’ confidence that they guessed right. The results yielded statistically significant differences for gender-accuracy, age-accuracy, age-confidence as well as mother tongue-accuracy and mother tongue-confidence correlations.
