Ji, Moon-gun. (2020). Modeling on English word recognition development: A cross-sectional study. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 28(1), 17-35. The primary purpose of this study was to track the English word recognition development in a cross-sectional study. Four kinds of tasks were conducted: an English word recognition task, an English phonological awareness task, an English orthographic awareness task, and an English morphological awareness task. For this study, 132 third grade elementary school students and 119 sixth grade elementary school students were recruited, respectively. The first outcome showed that English phonological awareness was an important component for successful English word recognition and English unfamiliar real words, respectively, for third grade elementary school students. The second result revealed that English orthographic-/morphological awareness also predicted a significant amount of unique variance for English word recognition, English unfamiliar real words, and English pseudo words, respectively, for sixth grade elementary school students. These results are consistent with the linguistic structure hypothesis that word recognition was largely affected by phonological awareness for L2 beginning learners, whereas the contribution of orthographic-/ morphological awareness increases significantly over time. |
