Second language (L2) reading research has shown that content schemata sign$- cantly influence comprehension. However; a careful examination of available studies reveals dispurities among research methods and procedures, thus making it d@icult to formulate theories for re-examining the intermediate-level course, where the reading of lengthy, authentic texts begins. To complicate matters furthel;females begin to outnumber males at the intermediate level, and this gap widens at the advanced levels (Chavez, 2001). This article - through a careful review of the relevant literature - shows that much of the L2 reading process at the intermediate level remains unexplained. Finally, a call for more research at the intermediate level that examines key variables, such as passage content and gender; is made.
