Teaching phonology for reading comprehension: Catherine Walter

__________________________________________________________________________________ My research has shown that intermediate second language (L2) learners can understand each sentence of a text without being able to build a mental representation of the overall text. This failur e is linked to the development of L2 processing abilities. My latest study (2008) shows that a factor in poor L2 processing of written text is, counter -intuitively, an unreliable L2 phonological inventory. This suggests strongly that teaching phonology w ill help L2 learners read better.
