Linguistic components of L1, such as phonological awareness, morphological awareness, orthographic knowledge, syntactic awareness, vocabulary, and meta-cognitive knowledge, all contribute to reading comprehension development in a second language.
“Numerous research study findings indicate that linguistic components of L1, such as phonological awareness, morphological awareness, orthographic knowledge, syntactic awareness, vocabulary and meta-cognitive knowledge, all contribute to reading comprehension development in a second language (Lefranc & Armand, 2003;Kahn-Horwitz et al., 2005;Kieffer & Lesaux, 2008;Nassaji & Geva, 1999;Proctor et al.”

“That means that learners of any language must understand the heterogeneous nature of orthographic information; specifically, they must know written symbols, recognize accepted patterns, and understand linguistic rules, as well as master the correspondence of symbols and their sounds (Shiotsu, 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
