This paper focuses on two learning strategies used by EFL college students in their approach to text comprehension: resourcing and elaboration. Resourcing refers to the use of the dictionary for word meanings. Elaboration refers to the use of meaningful associations between textual material and previous/y acquired know/edge. The evidence in the data shows that resourcing was often an ineffective strategy whereas elaboration was a valuable process that promoted involvement with the target language.
