Popis: | 92 The phonological processing and word decoding skills in 32 fourth-grade EFL (English as a Foreign Language) underachievers was compared with that of grade-matched general students. It was found that: 1.EFL underachievers were inferior to grade-matched general students in the follow skills: the phonological awareness skill (both in Chinese and English), phoneme matching skill (both in Chinese and English) and initial consonant deletion skill (both in Chinese and English). 2.EFL underachievers’ Chinese phonological awareness skill was moderately correlated with English phonological awareness skill. 3.EFL underachievers’ Chinese phoneme matching skill was moderately correlated with English phoneme matching skill. 4.EFL underachievers’ Chinese phonological memory skill was moderately correlated with English phonological memory skill. 5.General students’ Chinese phonological awareness skill was moderately correlated with English phonological awareness skill. 6.General students’ Chinese phoneme matching skill was moderately correlated with English phoneme matching skill. 7.General students’ Chinese initial consonant deletion skill was moderately correlated with English initial consonant deletion skill. 8.General students’ Chinese phonological memory skill was moderately correlated with English phonological memory skill. 9.EFL underachievers’ English word decoding skill was moderately correlated with English phonological awareness, English initial consonant deletion, and English phonological memory skills. 10.General students’ English word decoding skill was moderately correlated with English phonological awareness, English initial consonant deletion, and English phoneme matching skill. According to the results, the study offers suggestions for the related research and teaching designs of the EFL underachievers. |
