Abstract
This study found that simultaneous listening and reading does not always improve L2 comprehension. Under some conditions, multichannel input can cause interference which lowers students' comprehension. Slowing down the speed and reducing the number of channels of input can sometimes be effective ways to improve L2 comprehension.
