Cognitive factors in children's L1 and L2 reading.
Abstract
This study aims to identify the similarities and differences in cognitive and metacognitive skills employed by native English (NE) speakers and English (L2) learners at the elementary school level, and how these skills relate to their reading proficiency levels. Regardless of students' native language status, strong readers and struggling readers appear to share many features in common. The only differences between NE and L2 students were found to be in their receptive vocabulary size and their vocabulary-related skills.
