Multiple-text reading (MTR) is an important skill nowadays; thus, an increasing number of language tests include items that require test takers to integrate information across texts. To clarify the effects of readers’ strategy use on the performance of intertextual questions while reading multiple texts in a second language, we conducted a small-scale think-aloud protocol study and a correlational study of Japanese learners of English. We created original texts, a combination of website announcement and an email, accompanied by intratextual and intertextual comprehension questions. The think-aloud protocol study revealed some differences in learners’ strategy use: (a) less proficient readers tended to have difficulty in word-level processing, while more proficient readers did not show such challenges; (b) less proficient readers tended to fix answers from local information without solving uncertainty. The major difference between proficient and less proficient readers was found in intratextual level, not intertextual level. However, the correlational study indicated that the strategy inventory, which was developed for MTR, did not show a significant correlation with reading performance. In sum, whether strategy use explains differences in learners’ processing depends on how strategy use is measured.
