This study was designed to examine the effects of different types of questions produced during text reading on the comprehension and memorization of text of Chinese advanced Japanese language learners. The results showed that the question-and-answer group performed better than the question-only group: the former was able to focus their attention on the explicit textual information. At the same time, the question-and-answer group monitored and tried to understand their comprehension of the text, which also included the viewpoints of others. Thus, it was found that creating questions and answers facilitated the formation of comprehension representations.
