Yang Han; Yongsheng Wang; Feifei Liang; Xin Li; Jie Ma; Xuejun Bai – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Vocabulary is an important foundation for reading skills. Dual-route cascaded model believes that when form-sound correspondence is irregular, phonetic decoding is a necessary but not sufficient condition for word acquisition. Lexical access in syllabic scripts involves a morphological-phonetic-semantic approach, where phonological decoding is…

Kim, Minkyung – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Adopting a cognitive perspective, this study examined roles of working memory capacity (WMC), first language (L1) syllogistic inferencing, and second language (L2) linguistic knowledge on literal and inferential understanding of L2 reading comprehension in adolescent L2 learners. Participants were 193 Korean ninth-grade learners of English. The…

Jack Dempsey; Kiel Christianson; Julie A. Van Dyke – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Typical print formatting provides no information regarding the linguistic features of a text, although texts vary considerably with respect to grammatical complexity and readability. Complex texts may be particularly challenging for individuals with weak language knowledge, such as English language learners. This paper investigates the usefulness…

Chen, Tianxu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Lexical inference refers to the ability to make informed guesses about the meaning of an unknown word. This inferencing ability is affected by learner-related (i.e., morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge) and language-related (i.e., word semantic transparency) factors. Previous studies have shown that these factors play independent…

Mulder, Evelien; van de Ven, Marco; Segers, Eliane; Krepel, Alexander; de Bree, Elise H.; de Jong, Peter F.; Verhoeven, Ludo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
We assessed the relationship between word-to-text-integration (WTI) and reading comprehension in 7th grade students (n = 441) learning English as a second language (L2). The students performed a self-paced WTI reading task in Fall (T1) and Spring (T2), consisting of three text manipulation types (anaphora resolution, argument overlap, anomaly…

Frid, Bailey; Friesen, Deanna C. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Reading comprehension performance is predicted by decoding skill and linguistic comprehension (e.g., Hoover & Gough, 1990; Joshi & Aaron, 2012; Scarborough, 2001). However, the type of strategies that readers recruit to build a discourse should also contribute to success in first and second language reading comprehension. Sixty-six French…

Shahar-Yames, Daphna; Prior, Anat – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
Lexical inferencing from text is a powerful tool for vocabulary and reading comprehension enhancement. Lexical inferencing relies on the pre-requisite skills of reading and existing vocabulary, and is also linked to non-verbal inferencing abilities and reading comprehension. In this study, we examined whether Fifth-grade Russian-speaking language…

Prior, Anat; Goldina, Anna; Shany, Michal; Geva, Esther; Katzir, Tami – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
The current study examined the predictive roles of L2 vocabulary knowledge and L2 word reading skills in explaining individual differences in lexical inferencing in the L2. Participants were 53 Israeli high school students who emigrated from the former Soviet Union, and spoke Russian as an L1 and Hebrew as an L2. L2 vocabulary knowledge and…

Parel, Rolande – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2004
This study focuses on the source of reading problems of English as a second language learners at the high school level. The results indicate that while reading comprehension is impacted by level of receptive vocabulary knowledge, the ability to select and implement word-appropriate lexical inferencing strategies can compensate for low receptive…
