Torkildsen, Janne von Koss; Bratlie, Siri Steffensen; Kristensen, Jarl Kleppe; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric; Lyster, Solveig-Alma Halaas; Snow, Catherine; Hulme, Charles; Mononen, Riikka-Maija; Naess, Kari-Anne B.; López-Pedersen, Anita; Wie, Ona Bø; Hagtvet, Bente – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Morphemes, the smallest meaning-bearing units of language, recur in many words. Therefore, morphological knowledge can facilitate the comprehension of novel words. This study tested the effectiveness of a morphological training program on children's learning and retention of exposed words and morphologically related unexposed words compared with…

Pattemore, Matthew; Gilabert, Roger – Language Learning Journal, 2023
This study investigates the provision of two types of auditory elaborative automated digital feedback (metalinguistic and informational) in the context of a digital game for reading skills development in English as a foreign language. Nineteen 11-year-old Spanish-Catalan school children played through two digital minigames while their…

Hessel, Annina K.; Schroeder, Sascha – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
This experiment investigated interactions between lower- and higher-level processing when reading in a second language (L2). We conducted an eye-tracking experiment with the within-subject manipulation inconsistency (to tap higher-level coherence-building) crossed with a within-subject manipulation of word-processing difficulty (to alter the ease…

Kelso, Katrina; Whitworth, Anne; Leitão, Suze – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
This study aimed to profile the sublexical, lexical, and text level language skills, and cognitive processes of a sub-group of children with poor reading comprehension known as poor comprehenders.

Mor, Billy; Prior, Anat – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Reading efficiently in a second language (L2) is a crucial skill, but it is not universally achieved. Here we ask whether L2 reading efficiency is better captured as a language specific skill or whether it is mostly shared across L1 and L2, relying on general language abilities. To this end, we examined word frequency and predictability effects in…
