Yubune, et al. (2007) shows that a computer-assisted dynamic display method of chunking may help lower-level EFL college students improve either reading speed or comprehension temporarily, as well as their motivation for reading activity. In response to the above results and observation, we carried out a classroom treatment in which learners used different display methods through CALL reading lessons, in order to examine which display method will eventually improve most the learners reading skills. For the treatment we used the customized version of the multimedia display program called Multimedia Player Mint, developed by Mint Applications, CO., LTD. We performed a statistical analysis for their reading comprehension, WPM (words per minute), reading efficiency, and the listening comprehension between the pre-test and the post test. The result shows a significant progress in reading comprehension, WPM, and reading efficiency for 'the next chunk will appear by clicking the mouse and then it will disappear after clicking the mouse' method, while the control group and 'the next chunk will appear by clicking the mouse' method had no significant progress. From the above results, we conclude that a faster reading training using a particular type of computer-assisted dynamic display method of chunking may help lower-level EFL college students improve their reading efficiency.
