This study explores the way that discourse structure relates to the comprehension of the main points in a lecture. The study investigated whether undergraduates for whom English is their first language (L1) had difficulties with information in a lecture whose discourse organisation went beyond a basic problem-solution structure. The study replicated an experiment that had been conducted with 50 tertiary students for whom English is a second language (L2). The findings showed that the difficulties of the L2 subjects were also found among the L1 subjects thus indicating that elaborations beyond the most basic problem-solution discourse pattern present difficulties for a significant minority of science undergraduates whatever their language background.
