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…

Seyede Faezeh Hosseini Alast; Sasan Baleghizadeh – Language Teaching Research, 2024
The aim of this experiment was to investigate how glossing influences second language (L2) reading comprehension in relation to text difficulty and the two local and global meaning representations. Fifty-eight undergraduate students were asked to read three easy, moderate, and difficult texts and, following each passage, answer twenty…

Pretorius, Melissa J.; le Roux, Mia; Geertsema, Salomé – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2022
This study investigated the correlation and predictive capacity of verbal working memory (VWM) to the reading comprehension of children in their first language (L1) and second language (L2). The term verbal working memory refers to a cognitive system with a limited capacity that can hold and manipulate verbal and auditory information temporarily.…

Junko Yamashita; Toshihiko Shiotsu; Kunihiro Kusanagi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This longitudinal study investigated development of second language (L2) reading comprehension ability and predictive contributions of five L2 reading components (word recognition speed, listening comprehension, vocabulary breadth, grammar knowledge and first language [L1] reading comprehension) using latent growth curve modelling. The…

Schramm, Andreas; Haser, Verena; Mensink, Michael C.; Reifenrath, Jonas; Kassemi, Parinaz – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This research addresses implicit learning of temporal meanings in English by adult non-native readers of German, a language without morphosyntactic imperfective aspect. Twenty-four learners from mixed first languages participated in a norming study assessing unenhanced aspect awareness. Then, in a second experiment, 91 native-German learners…

The present study was focused on acquisition of Chinese relative clauses (RCs) by second language (L2) learners and whether this acquisition was influenced by RC linguistic features, learners' Chinese proficiency levels, and their first language (L1). Data were gathered via a Chinese reading comprehension test, a grammaticality judgment task, a…

Käsper, Maile; Uibu, Krista; Mikk, Jaan – Education 3-13, 2020
Teaching strategies and their combinations are important for improving students' text comprehension, but it is unclear how they are used in primary school. To identify frequencies and patterns in primary school teachers' strategy use, 186 Estonian teachers were questioned. Explorative factor analysis revealed the strategies of supporting active…

Uchihara, Takumi; Webb, Stuart; Saito, Kazuya; Trofimovich, Pavel – Modern Language Journal, 2022
This study examined how mode of input affects the learning of pronunciation and form-meaning connection of second language (L2) words. Seventy-five Japanese learners of English were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions (reading while listening, reading only, listening only), studied 40 low-frequency words while viewing their corresponding…

Stepanov, Arthur; Andreetta, Sara; Stateva, Penka; Zawiszewski, Adam; Laka, Itziar – Second Language Research, 2020
This study investigates the processing of long-distance syntactic dependencies by native speakers of Slovenian (L1) who are advanced learners of Italian as a second language (L2), compared with monolingual Italian speakers. Using a self-paced reading task, we compare sensitivity of the early-acquired L2 learners to syntactic anomalies in their L2…

Alyssa Vuogan – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Second language (L2) writing has been determined to be influenced by what is read, with language learners tending to borrow words and short phrases from input texts while writing (e.g., Wang & Wang, 2015). This phenomenon is referred to as lexical alignment. Only one empirical study has investigated the influence that the linguistic complexity…

Lago, Sol; Stutter Garcia, Anna; Felser, Claudia – Second Language Research, 2019
Previous studies have shown that multilingual speakers are influenced by their native (L1) and non-native (L2) grammars when learning a new language. But, so far, these studies have mostly used untimed metalinguistic tasks. Here we examine whether multilinguals' prior grammars also affect their sensitivity to morphosyntactic constraints during…

Roberts, Leah; Liszka, Sarah Ann – Second Language Research, 2021
The results of a self-paced reading study with advanced German, Dutch and French second language (L2) learners of English showed that their online comprehension of early closure (EC) sentences which are initially misanalysed by native English speakers (e.g. "While John hunted the frightened rabbit escaped") was affected by whether or…
