Abstract
In the real life of Japanese learners, there are more and more opportunities to read not only one text but also multiple texts. In this paper, we surveyed Japanese language learners in JSL and JFL environments to find out whether they read multiple Japanese texts in their daily lives. The results showed that regardless of whether they were in a JSL or JFL environment, they did read multiple texts in real life, and they read materials related to their daily lives, information gathering, hobbies, and study. It was also found that the students felt difficulty in reading multiple texts.
