Reading in an additional language is an essential literacy skill, which often poses challenges for language learners and multilingual language users. This symposium focusses on recent research findings on the processes and challenges of reading different types of texts in another language. We invite presentations on empirical research that investigates cognitive processes of second language reading, the role of individual differences in reading in another language and the challenges posed by different text types such as health-related or academic texts. Research on students with reading-related difficulties such as dyslexia and intervention studies that aim to develop second language reading skills are also welcome. We gladly receive submissions that examine bi- and multilingual readers speaking languages other than English across the lifespan from young learners to adults. In the symposium we want to bring together researchers who study second language reading from psychological and pedagogical perspectives across a wide variety of contexts. In addition to the discussion of recent research in this important area of second language acquisition, the symposium will offer an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas on challenges in researching second language reading processes and pedagogical tools that assist in overcoming reading difficulties.
The day will start with the featured presentation without an introductory section. Please watch the presentation and join us for the online discussion session at 9.00 am. You can find the rest of the schedule below.
