This paper reports on results of an exploratory study following a similar design to the one used by Jakobsen and Jensen (2008), but introducing an additional condition in an attempt partially to test their methodology and examine eye-tracking data in different reading performances associated with different tasks and stimulus patterns. The study involved reading for three specific purposes: (i) answering reading comprehension questions, (ii) producing an oral summary of a text, and (iii) translating a text orally while reading it (sight translation).
