Reading comprehension in a foreign language entails grasping the cohesion and constructing the coherent representation of the passage, filling semantic voids in the text. This preliminary research investigated the relationship between semantic gap filling ability, focused on resolving the cohesive voids, in L2 English reading (L2SGF), vocabulary and grammatical knowledge (L2VGK), and L1 reading ability (L1R). Forty-two Japanese high school EFL learners participated in the study. L2 semantic gap filling ability was operationalized as recognizing cohesive devices, such as coreference, replacement, and conjunction. The participants were given four written tests with multiple choices: L2 semantic gap filling test, vocabulary size test, grammar test, and L1 reading ability test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between L2SGF and L2VGK was moderate with statistical significance, while that between L2SGF and L1R was weak with marginal significance. Multiple regression analysis revealed that L2SGF was influenced more by L2VGK (β=.58, p < .001) than L1R (β=.32, p=.020). The implication was that L2SGF would be achieved on the base of language knowledge of L2VGK, and that L1R might also be transferred to L2SGF.
