 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), The role of working memory in L2 listening comprehension was investigated. The study also investigated the extent to which this role varies across L2 proficiency levels. 210 Japanese EFL learners completed L1 and L2 digit span tasks, listening span tasks, and L2 listening comprehension tasks. A correlation analysis showed that both L1 and L2 working memory capacity was related to L2 listening, but that the predictive power of L2 working memory capacity was larger than that of L1 working memory capacity. The main findings in the multiple regression analysis were (a) L2 working memory capacity accounted for a significant 19.2 % of unique variance in L2 listening comprehension for the most proficient L2 users, and (b) L1 working memory capacity accounted for a significant 21.7 % of unique variance in L2 listening comprehension for the least proficient L2 users.},
