L2 Reading: An Update on Relevant L1 Research.

Brown, Carol M.

Foreign Language Annals, v31 n2 p191-202 Sum 1998

First-language (L1) reading research has had a major impact on second language (L2) reading research. There was a substantial lag, however, before these L1 theories were adapted and proposed for L2 reading. This article introduces the L2 researcher to the relevant and current L1 test comprehension issues and theories to help close this gap. (Author/VWL)
