This chapter addresses individual learning by firstly considering the multiple facets of cohesion and coherence, their links to comprehension and textual complexity, also grounding a computational view to be discussed later (see 4.1 Measures of Cohesion and Local Coherence). Afterwards, in tight relation to Figure 1 from the Overview of Theoretical Aspects, textual complexity is regarded from a computational perspective, highlighting multiple approaches. Later on, self-explanations, seen as specific learner productions, are used to support the learning process by making it more efficient and more focused on comprehension (McNamara 2004).
