Abstract

Results of EFL reading comprehension tests written in two different languages, native Thai and target English, were compared and examined in terms of the effectiveness of different question types and of different test formats, which were multiple choice and open - ended. It was found that students with low proficiency of English scored higher in the Thai version test, particularly in the multiple-choice application and open-ended inference questions. However, there was no significant difference between scores gained from both Thai and English version tests among high proficiency students.
