English to Spanish Other Linguistics

Traduzco una tesis sobre la lectura en lengua extranjera y, la mayoría del tiempo, habla de estudios de otras personas que, con carácter general, utilizan grupos de estudiantes diversos para evaluar las formas de comprender los textos al leer. Los términos L1 y L2 salen a menudo, haciendo referencia al nivel de competencia; así como M/C questions, que se refiere a preguntas de respuesta múltiples (Multiple choice questions). No obstante, el concepto que incluye todos los términos es el que me tiene perdida. Aquí va algo de contexto:

"Similarly, in Hudson (1982), the beginner and intermediate ESL students’ scores on the 10 L2 M/C questions were higher when they received cue pictures and wrote predictions on focused pre-questions than when there was no support with re-reading, and were lowest with a pre-reading vocabulary list."

"Hu and Nation (2000) showed that when the coverage of known words in a text was 80%, comprehension on a 14-item M/C test was around 40%, which rose to around 70% comprehension with 90-95% coverage and to 87% comprehension with 100% coverage."
