Findings were derived from consideration of three data sources: the questionnaire,
observation notes, and interviews. The data was analyzed only when the
subjects consulted their PEDs to comprehend the English passage. The number
of words looked up, and the number of successful and unsuccessful look-ups
were noted. The data from the interviews, and the observation check sheets
were analyzed with reference to the following questions:
— How did the subjects write their summaries?
— What words did they look up?
— Did they search for words in the appropriate word class?
— Did they find the words they were looking for?
