Metalinguistic Awareness and Literacy among Semitic-Bilingual Learners: A Cross-Language Perspective
Peer reviewed
Direct linkEviatar, Zohar; Taha, Haitham; Shwartz, Mila – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
In the current study we examined three questions. First: How does emergent bilingualism affect the development of metalinguistic awareness in kindergarten and first grade? We compared the changes in scores of tests of phonological awareness and morphological awareness from kindergarten to first grade, in two bilingual groups (Hebrew-Arabic and…

Kuo, Li-Jen; Ramirez, Gloria; de Marin, Sharon; Kim, Tae-Jin; Unal-Gezer, Melike – Educational Psychology, 2017
Existing research on the impact of bilingualism on metalinguistic development has concentrated on the development of phonological awareness. The present study extended the scope of existing research by focusing on morphological awareness, an aspect of metalinguistic awareness that becomes increasingly important beyond the initial phase of literacy…

ter Kuile, Hagar; Veldhuis, Michiel; van Veen, Suzanne C.; Wicherts, Jelte M. – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2011
An increasing number of schools offer bilingual programs, where lessons are taught in more than one language. Several theories state that bilinguals have greater metalinguistic awareness than monolinguals. We investigated whether this greater metalinguistic awareness is also related to an increased ability to understand an unknown language. To…

Schwartz, Mila; Share, David L.; Leikin, Mark; Kozminsky, Ely – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2008
In a previous study [Schwartz et al. (2005). "Written Language and Literacy," 8, 179-207] we showed that early literacy in Russian (L1) facilitated decoding acquisition in Hebrew (L2) among Russian-Hebrew first graders. The present study examined two alternative explanations for this finding. The first account concerns the general…

Ransdell, Sarah; Barbier, Marie-Laure; Niit, Toomas – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2006
Previous research has shown that individual differences in working memory (WM) are highly predictive of a wide range of cognitive behaviours. Until recently, research has focused on monolingual, or undifferentiated, populations. The present research compares metacognitive awareness, as measured by self-ratings of reading, writing, speaking and…
