Cheetham, Dominic – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2023
The positive effects of bi-modal input on language learning are becoming a largely accepted experimental finding. However, experiments looking at bi-modal reading in a foreign language are normally limited by the common experimental situation of classroom-based researchers studying university age participants for the limited timespan of a…

Ana Pellicer-Sánchez; Kathy Conklin; Michael P. H. Rodgers; Fabio Parente – Modern Language Journal, 2021
Comprehension of many types of texts involves constructing meaning from text and pictures. However, research examining how second language (L2) learners process text and pictures and the relationship with comprehension is scarce. Thus, while verbal input is often presented in written and auditory modes simultaneously (i.e., audio of text with…

Sparks, Richard L. – Foreign Language Annals, 2019
Studies have shown that U.S. learners' proficiency in reading and listening comprehension lags behind their ability to decode words. Recent studies have found that even after 3 years of high school L2 courses, U.S. students fail to develop minimal proficiency in reading comprehension. This paper suggests that while cognitive factors (word decoding…

Gunnerud, Hilde Lowell; Foldnes, Njål; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Bilingualism appears to be related to poor language and reading comprehension in the instructional language (L2). However, in the long term, an early age of second language acquisition (AoA) may produce higher levels of second language skills than a later onset of L2 exposure. Most studies on school-aged second language learners (L2 learners)…

Dubeck, Margaret M.; Stern, Jonathan M. B.; Nabacwa, Rehemah – RTI International, 2021
The Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) is used to evaluate studies and monitor projects that address reading skills in low- and middle-income countries. Results are often described solely in terms of a passage-reading subtask, thereby overlooking progress in related skills. Using archival data of cohort samples from Uganda at two time points in…
