摘要：This study examines exploring the effects of first language reading on second language reading comprehension across different proficiency levels. The participants of this study are freshmen B.A students of English translation at Ramsar and Rudsar Payam nur university. In order to examine the focus of the study, different instruments were used. 118 students were selected out of 150 ones and divided into three groups based on their scores in NELSON test. This test was conducted to measure students’ proficiency level and to homogenize them. Then the students were divided into three proficiency levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. For the first part of the study, they received English cloze tests and after that, they received Persian cloze texts, which were the exact translation of English cloze tests. Paired-Samples T-Test and multiple regression were used to measure their cloze tests answers. The results showed no significant difference; hence configuring the null hypothesis of the study.
