The present study examined the relationships of L2 listening ability to oral reading rate and reading comprehension. About 160 Japanese native speakers aged 17 and 18 studying English as a second language were tested. The tests consisted of four tasks; two listening tasks including the listening section of the CELT Form A and a short story listening test, and two oral reading tasks including Reading Test 1 and 2. In Reading Test 1, the performances of participants were tape-recorded as they read a passage aloud as quickly as possible. They were then told to answer a set of questions to check their comprehension. These recordings were later analyzed to measure oral reading rate. In Reading Test 2, all the participants were instructed to shadow a passage recorded by a native English speaker. They then completed a set of questions in the same manner as Reading Test 1. There was a moderate correlation between the total score on the CELT listening section and oral reading rate. Weak correlations were found between the total score on the CELT listening section and oral reading tests. The results indicated that good listeners read the reading passages more rapidly and comprehended the content better than poor listeners did.
