Though size effects are generally small, results from the responses of 475 university students at a college in the north of Thailand indicate that five of the key HLE parameters are significantly associated with respondents' present reading rates. The implications for Thailand's participation in the "information age" are discussed. © Common Ground, Nicholas Ferriman.Mahidol UniversitySocial SciencesArticleSCOPUS
