Alexandra M. A. Schmitterer; Caterina Gawrilow; Claudia Friedrich – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
The collocation frequency of words in the language environment contributes to early vocabulary development. Vocabulary size, in turn, predicts children's reading comprehension skills later in development. Both collocation frequency and reading comprehension have been connected to inferential reasoning at different time points in development. Here,…

Jessica Paynter; Kate O'Leary; Marleen Westerveld – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
We explored reading comprehension development in children on the spectrum from pre-school to the first (YOS1) and third year of schooling (YOS3). Children were first assessed on meaning-related skills in pre-school. Forty-one children completed follow-up assessments of reading comprehension, reading accuracy, and listening comprehension in YOS1.…

Rümeysa Kaya; Bayram Çetin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2025
In this study, the cut-off scores obtained from the Angoff, Angoff Y/N, Nedelsky and Ebel standard methods were compared with the 50 T score and the current cut-off score in various aspects. Data were collected from 448 students who took Module B1+ English Exit Exam IV and 14 experts. It was seen that while the Nedelsky method gave the lowest…

Luis E. Muñoz; Natalia Kartushina; Julien Mayor – Developmental Science, 2024
Pacifier use during childhood has been hypothesized to interfere with language processing, but, to date, there is limited evidence revealing detrimental effects of prolonged pacifier use on infant vocabulary learning. In the present study, parents of 12- and 24-month-old infants were recruited in Oslo (Norway). The sample included 1187 monolingual…

Khajavy, Gholam Hassan; Aghaee, Elham – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2023
Research has indicated the importance of vocabulary knowledge and background knowledge in second/foreign language (L2) listening comprehension. However, previous studies treated these two factors separately, and no study has examined the simultaneous contribution of these two factors to L2 listening comprehension. Therefore, the aim of this study…

Zhang, Songshan; Zhang, Xian – Language Teaching Research, 2022
This study set out to investigate the relationship between L2 vocabulary knowledge (VK) and second-language (L2) reading/listening comprehension. More than 100 individual studies were included in this meta-analysis, which generated 276 effect sizes from a sample of almost 21,000 learners. The current meta-analysis had several major findings.…

Tong, Yanli; Hasim, Zuwati; Abdul Halim, Huzaina – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
Based on 312 samples, this study investigated the relationship between two dimensions of L2 vocabulary knowledge (VK) and listening comprehension (LC) by comparing written and oral vocabulary measurements and further examined the mediating effect of L2 vocabulary fluency (VF) by using Bootstrapping and Monte Carlo Method. Results show that: (1)…

Satori, Miki – International Journal of Listening, 2022
This study investigates the effects of linguistic knowledge (vocabulary knowledge) and cognitive abilities (metacognitive knowledge and cognitive styles) on the second language (L2) listening comprehension at different proficiency levels. The study has also sought to investigate whether or not cognitive abilities and L2 linguistic knowledge are…

Ecalle, Jean; Dujardin, Emilie; Gomes, Christophe; Cros, Laurent; Magnan, Annie – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2021
Two large samples were assessed twice in Grade 1: the control group (Cont; N = 2302), which received no specific interventions, and the experimental group (Exp; N = 484), which received interventions associated with code-related skills (decoding and fluency). We estimated that a mean score of around 50 correctly read words per minute corresponded…

Sofia Giazitzidou; Kyle Levesque; Hélène Deacon – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
The relation of morphological awareness with reading comprehension is well established. For this advance to inform instruction, the push is now on to understand how morphological awareness is related to reading comprehension. We address this question here by examining potential mechanisms. We do so with children in Grade 1, a time at which it is…

Brewer, Brittany M.; Phillippe, Allison – Reading Teacher, 2022
In this article, we explore how character perspective-taking can support students' reading comprehension, as well as opportunities to engage social-emotional learning (SEL). We start by defining character perspective-taking and SEL. Then, we present strategies for practicing character perspective-taking in classrooms, how these strategies are…

Morphological Awareness and DHH Students' Reading-Related Abilities: A Meta-Analysis of Correlations
Zhang, Dongbo; Ke, Sihui; Anglin-Jaffe, Hannah; Yang, Junhui – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
This article presents the first meta-analysis on correlations of morphological awareness (MA) with reading-related abilities in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students (k = 14, N = 556). The results showed high mean correlations of MA with all three reading-related abilities: rs = 0.610, 0.712, and 0.669 (all ps < 0.001), respectively, for word…

David Giguere; Erika Hoff – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Extensive evidence indicates that early vocabulary skills predict later reading development among monolingually developing children. Some evidence suggests that a relationship between vocabulary and later reading also holds across languages among children whose home language differs from the school language. However, these findings have been mixed…

Babayigit, Selma; Shapiro, Laura – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Aims: The primary aim of this study is to augment our understanding of the component skills that underpin second-language learners' text comprehension by examining the direct and indirect roles of vocabulary knowledge and grammatical skills in second-language learners' listening and reading comprehension. Methods: Our sample included 134 learners…
