In this study, four advanced Japanese learners from Taiwan wrote essays according to set reading materials; and the ways in which they perceived the significances of the materials were investigated. After reading two letters addressed to the editor (LTE) with opposing viewpoints, the leaners were requested to write an essay based on the reading materials. They were then interviewed for the reasons behind the ideas they extracted from the reading materials. An analysis of the interview results and the essays written by the learners has been performed for reviewing the pedagogy of reading and writing comprehension.
