Abstract
Reading engagement is a strong predictor of students’ reading outcomes, but its consistent positive effects across diverse student groups remain unclear. Research on the reading engagement of multilingual adolescents is notably limited. We investigated the interactions of affective and cognitive dimensions of reading engagement in relation to reading achievement among multilingual and English-dominant students. Specifically, we explored how reading motivation is related to reading achievement through metacognitive strategies. For a nuanced understanding of reading engagement, we further examined whether these relationships are distinct for students with different language backgrounds. We conducted multi-group structural equation modeling using data from the U.S. Programme for International Student Assessment 2018. Our analyses included 2,928 students: 2,407 English-dominant, 359 Spanish-speaking, and 162 other-language-speaking multilingual students. We found differential relationships between reading engagement and reading achievement across language groups. For English-dominant and Spanish-speaking students, reading motivation had both a direct and indirect effect on reading achievement through metacognitive strategies. In contrast, for other-language-speaking students, motivation was only linked to achievement through metacognitive strategies, with no direct contribution from motivation. Our results suggest that metacognitive reading strategies were a critical explanatory mechanism for translating reading motivation into reading achievement. For effective reading instruction, integrated instructional practices that support both metacognitive strategies and motivation are necessary, with a tailored approach that adapts responsibly to linguistic differences among students.
期刊介绍：
Reading and writing skills are fundamental to literacy. Consequently, the processes involved in reading and writing and the failure to acquire these skills, as well as the loss of once well-developed reading and writing abilities have been the targets of intense research activity involving professionals from a variety of disciplines, such as neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics and education. The findings that have emanated from this research are most often written up in a lingua that is specific to the particular discipline involved, and are published in specialized journals. This generally leaves the expert in one area almost totally unaware of what may be taking place in any area other than their own. Reading and Writing cuts through this fog of jargon, breaking down the artificial boundaries between disciplines. The journal focuses on the interaction among various fields, such as linguistics, information processing, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, speech and hearing science and education. Reading and Writing publishes high-quality, scientific articles pertaining to the processes, acquisition, and loss of reading and writing skills. The journal fully represents the necessarily interdisciplinary nature of research in the field, focusing on the interaction among various disciplines, such as linguistics, information processing, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, speech and hearing science and education. Coverage in Reading and Writing includes models of reading, writing and spelling at all age levels; orthography and its relation to reading and writing; computer literacy; cross-cultural studies; and developmental and acquired disorders of reading and writing. It publishes research articles, critical reviews, theoretical papers, and case studies. Reading and Writing is one of the most highly cited journals in Education, Educational Research, and Educational Psychology.
