Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called "MECO L2" (Multilingual Eye Movements…

Papua has the lowest literacy rate compared to other Indonesian provinces due to its limited education access. Exacerbated by teachers' absenteeism and lack of available reading resources, improving literacy in Papua is challenging to address. Our study aims to improve students' literacy through school literacy programs. A quantitative approach…

Liset Rouweler; Ben Maassen; Sanne Oud; Barry de Groot; Wim Tops – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2025
Reading is one of the most important skills in higher education. Various students show problems with reading, which can lead to problems with text decoding, reading comprehension, or both. In this study, we investigate the L1 (Dutch) and L2 (English) reading comprehension performance of students with and without dyslexia. Participants were…

Visser, Linda; Cartschau, Friederike; von Goldammer, Ariane; Brandenburg, Janin; Timmerman, Marieke; Hasselhorn, Marcus; Mähler, Claudia – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
The growing number of children in primary schools in Germany who have German as their second language (L2) has raised questions about the fairness of performance assessment. Fair tests are a prerequisite for distinguishing between L2 learning delay and a specific learning disability. We evaluated five commonly used reading and spelling tests for…

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…

Bergman Deitcher, Deborah; Aram, Dorit; Besser-Biron, Shira – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Precocious readers (PRs) are children who read and comprehend fluently in their native language, without receiving formal instruction. This study examined Hebrew-speaking PRs in comparison with a group of age-matched peers and a group of reading-level-matched peers. By examining Hebrew, which is a transparent orthography when it has…

Etsuo Taguchi; Greta Gorsuch; Kristin Lems; Hiroto Toda; Toshiko Kawaguchi; Kirsten M. Snipp – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2024
This paper examines learners' fluency development in L2 silent reading rate and comprehension. In both L1 and L2 readings, a positive relationship between readers' silent reading rate and comprehension has not been as firmly established as theories might propose. Based on Wallot et al. (2014), the paper indicates the need to look at readers'…

Yang, Shuyi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Language-specific features necessitate certain processes and skills in reading. The visually unmarked between-word boundaries in written Chinese render it critical that readers be able to segment words in the continuous texts. It may pose challenges for second language (L2) readers whose first language (L1) is word-spaced. In light of the lack of…

Joong won Lee; Alissa Wolters; Young-Suk Grace Kim – Grantee Submission, 2022
We examined the relation of morphological awareness with language and literacy skills, namely phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, vocabulary, word reading, spelling, text reading fluency, and reading comprehension. We also examined potential moderators of the relations (grade level, orthographic depth of language, receptive vs.…

Scheepers, Marizel; Geertsema, Salomé; le Roux, Mia; Graham, Marien – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2021
Background: Phonological awareness (PA) skills and working memory (WM) are universally regarded as crucial precursors to skilled reading. The orthography of the language being read influences the ease with which a child learns to read. Research has been undertaken on reading in languages with an opaque orthography. Research on the role of PA and…

Li, Miao; Geva, Esther; D'Angelo, Nadia; Koh, Poh Wee; Chen, Xi; Gottardo, Alexandra – Annals of Dyslexia, 2021
This study examined the sources of reading comprehension difficulties in English language learners (ELLs). The characteristics of ELL poor comprehenders were compared to their English as a first language (EL1) peers. Participants included 124 ELLs who spoke Chinese as an L1 and 79 EL1 students. Using a regression technique based on age, non-verbal…

Kang, Yusun – English Teaching, 2021
Numerous studies have supported the simple view of reading by showing the significant predictive roles of oral language comprehension ability and decoding skills in the reading comprehension of monolinguals and second language learners. However, little is known about its applicability to young foreign language learners who do not have much access…
