The role and importance of lower-level processes in second language reading (2013, background): “Although there is strong evidence that decoding individual words may be linked to reading difficulties, it is not clear to what extent such an ability may have an effect on understanding connected texts (Buly & Valencia 2002; Kuhn & Stahl 2003; Kuhn 2004; Fukkink et al. 2005).”
Understanding vocabulary acquisition, instruction, and assessment: A research agenda (2019, background): “To give you some ideas, the following studies have looked at the effect of vocabulary activities on the development of written fluency: Snellings, van Gelderen, and de Glopper (2002), Fukkink, Hulstijn, and Simis (2005), Elgort (2011), and Pellicer-Sánchez (2015).”
3. RESEARCH ON TEACHING READING (2004, background): “In a second language context, Fukkink et al. (2003) explored speed of processing training and its impact on comprehension with eighthgrade EFL students with 21⁄2 years of English coursework, but they were not able to demonstrate a significant relation between the two.”
