Abstract
By comparing the eye movement data of Korean students reading Chinese texts with or without marks for word boundaries, the researcher has found that: (1) To Korean students, the Chinese words represent more psychological reality than Chinese characters. (2) The reading efficiency of Korean students could be immensely improved by inserting word boundary marks. It is, therefore, suggested that when publishing Chinese textbooks intended for Korean students, we adjust the way we do type-setting today and insert word boundary marks into the text.
