However, it is unclear whether second language (L2) learners of English can effectively use derivational suffixes as stress cues in written words. To address this gap, we studied if native Chinese-speaking adults learning English as an L2 can use derivational cues to correctly assign lexical stress, and whether the frequency of these suffixes and their L2 language proficiency moderate this sensitivity. Utilizing a written stress assignment and a stress production task, participants saw a series of written stems and their derived forms and were asked to either choose a syllable to assign the stress (Experiment 1) or read it aloud (Experiment 2). Results showed that L2 learners are sensitive to derivational cues to lexical stress in English. Moreover, the strength of this sensitivity is dependent upon the suffix class, frequency, and L2 language proficiency. Specifically, in both experiments, participants made more correct stress shifts in derived forms with high compared to low nonneutral suffix frequency; however, it did not differ between high and low neutral suffix frequency. In addition, as participants’ English proficiency increased, their correct stress shifts increased significantly greater in those derived nonwords with nonneutral than neutral suffixes in the stress assignment task. These findings make a significant contribution to the limited literature on L2 learners' sensitivity to morpho-orthographic cues to lexical stress and support the proposed statistical learning mechanism, that is, L2 learners can implicitly learn statistical regularities from linguistic materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":48204,"journal":{"name":"Reading and Writing","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138629796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the relation between mind wandering and readers’ memory for text.

Undergraduate participants (<i>M</i> = 18.92 years; <i>SD</i> = 1.32) read and recalled three expository passages. Participants responded to intermittent probes to report mind wandering frequency. We examined how mind wandering impacted the readers’ situation model, indicated by the proportion of central and peripheral ideas recalled. Using path analysis models, we found that mind wandering negatively predicted the recall of central, but not peripheral, ideas. The effect of mind wandering on the recall of central ideas was not explained by working memory span (measured by WAIS-IV digit span backward and letter-number sequencing), word reading skill (measured by Letter-Word Identification and Word Attack), or general reading comprehension skill (measured by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test). These results indicate that mind wandering hinders the recognition and recall of a text’s most central ideas and suggest that mind wandering impacts the development of a coherent situation model. This effect seems to be independent of working memory, word reading, and general reading comprehension skill.

Though traditionally viewed as a skill or ability which transfers across languages, recent accounts have considered whether phonemic awareness has a language-specific component. This study used a cross-sectional design to examine this question. A total of 345 students in Irish immersion schools and in schools in Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) areas took part in the study and were administered Phoneme Deletion and Phoneme Matching in both Irish and English. Results demonstrate (i) a low correlation between Phoneme Matching and Phoneme Deletion scores within each language (ii) a significant difference between Phoneme Matching scores in Irish and English, but no significant difference in Phoneme Deletion scores in each language (iii) that orthographic representations influence performance on Phoneme Matching tasks in both Irish and English, and (iv) that participants demonstrate a low level of accuracy on velarised-palatalised phonemic contrasts, which are specific to Irish. Overall, this paper concludes that bilingual phonemic awareness is a multidimensional – rather than a unitary – construct. It has both a metalinguistic and epilinguistic component, and is likely influenced by linguistic, sociolinguistic and educational factors. The practical implications for dual-language education are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":48204,"journal":{"name":"Reading and Writing","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138559825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were Japanese EFL (English as a foreign language) learners from Grade 9 to 11. L2-English reading comprehension ability was assessed with two tests (called narrative and expository tests). The growth pattern of reading comprehension was linear regardless of test type or language, and the initial individual difference continued for two years. For both L2 reading measures, all reading components made significant contributions except for word recognition speed. The remaining four components significantly predicted the initial L2 reading comprehension levels, and L2 variables made larger contributions than did L1 reading comprehension, endorsing the findings of previous L2 studies. As for the growth rate, no significant predictor emerged for the expository measure, but two predictors, grammar and listening comprehension, significantly predicted narrative growth, with the contribution of grammar being negative and that of listening comprehension being positive. The unexpected grammar result may be attributable to test features, and the predictive power of listening comprehension for growth in one type of reading suggests the important role of listening comprehension ability even in the EFL context where learners do not usually acquire firm oral language foundations before reading.

Participants were 102 children followed for 2 years from school-entry. Study variables correlated concurrently and predictively, although multivariate results varied by outcome measure. School-entry alphabet knowledge consistently contributed to spelling measures and teachers’ judgments of writing progress at follow-up.

Finally, predictive relations between school-entry oral language skills and WritingOTJ emerged at 2-year follow-up.

Cognitive-linguistic skills differentially added to predictions of later skills, supporting posited contributions of phonological awareness to spelling and oral language to proficient writing of older students.
