2 diagnosing second / foreign language reading in a second or foreign language DIALUKI study diagnosing reading and writing in a first and second / foreign language inter-disciplinary; see preliminary results: predicting reading in English as FL
3 How did we get interested in this? DIALANG very under-developed and under-theorised in language testing and applied linguistics in general Little agreement on e.g. what diagnostic tests are Our definition: Focus on learners strengths and weaknesses; prediction, even explanation Diagnosis requires a better understanding of language abilities at a more detailed level than is currently the case Need to define constructs both theoretically and operationally. see Alderson Diagnosing Foreign Language Proficiency: The Interface Between Learning and Assessment. Continuum. and Alderson 2007; Huhta 2008
4 Diagnosis common in e.g. medicine, car mechanics and first language reading Can we learn from these? Aims for the future: Developing tests / procedures that can identify problems Developing suitable, meaningful feedback Effective advice on remediation in L2/FL?
5 Needs a theory of language development from SLA Needs insight from LT into variability in performance across test tasks and into designing valid and reliable measures Reading a particularly interesting area: little SLA research into comprehension & not the strongest area of LT research either
6 Huge field, enormous literature for L1 Much less for L2, and L2 highly derivative of L1 reading theory. We don t subscribe to any particular model of reading for our study Grabe, W Reading in a Second Language: Moving from Theory to Practice. CUP.
7 Lower-level processes Must be highly automatised for fluent reading Rapid and automatic recognition of a large number of words crucial Working memory plays a key role in low level processes but also in the interaction of different levels of processes
8 A. Text level model of comprehension extracts the meaning the writer is attempting to convey. B. The situation model of reader interpretation is the synthesis of the reader s background knowledge with the text model, taking into account the purpose of the reader in reading the text. C. A set of reading skills and resources under the command of the executive control in working memory (strategies, goals, inferences, background knowledge, comprehension monitoring)
9 Evidence suggests that L2 reading is more of a language problem than a reading problem Threshold of language proficiency below which L1 reading does not transfer to L2 Many L1 reading problems transfer to L2 reading (Sparks et al) but not all L2 reading problems likely vary across different L1 backgrounds. Role of orthography in learning to read: Deep vs shallow, Alphabetic vs non-alphabetic
10 To summarise, little is known about how SFL reading develops how to identify strengths and weaknesses which abilities contribute most to the development of overall SFL reading performance how teachers can best facilitate reading abilities
11 Project timeline , i.e. in progress Funded by Academy of Finland, University of Jyväskylä, UK Economic and Social Research Council, Pearson Assessment Can different cognitive and L1 & L2 linguistic measures predict difficulties in SFL reading and writing? How does SFL proficiency in reading and writing develop in psycholinguistic and linguistic terms? Cooperation between language testers, other applied linguists (SLA in particular) and psychologists (L1 reading) Paves way for better diagnostic tests in the future by increasing our understanding of diagnosing L2 reading and writing

13 Finnish-speaking learners of English as FL primary school 4 th grade (age 10/11) lower secondary school, 8 th grade (age 14/15) gymnasium (academically oriented upper secondary school), 2 nd year students (age 17/18) Russian-speaking learners of Finnish as SL at beginner and intermediate levels in the primary and lower secondary schools
14 Study 1 (in 2010): A cross-sectional study with 3 x students. Exploring the value of a range of L1 & L2 measures in predicting L2 reading & writing, in order to select the best predictors for further studies. Study 2 (in 2011): Several training / experimental studies, each a few weeks in length The effects of training on SFL reading and writing Using computerized learning games in L1 and L2. Graphogame for diagnosing & treating dyslexia Study 3 (in /13): Longitudinal, 2-3 years. The development of literacy skills, and the relationship of this development to the diagnostic measures.
