"This study examined the role of working memory capacity in the development of second language reading at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. A total of 140 L1 Persian EFL learners at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels participated in the study. They were all studying English as a foreign language in a private language school. All the participants completed an L1 reading span test based on Daneman & Carpenter's (1980), a math span test based on Robert and Gibson (2002) and Salthouse & Babcock (1991), and an English non-word recognition task adapted from Gathercole, Pickering, Hall, & Peaker (2001). The participants also completed measures of reading proficiency, including a cloze test, a short- answer comprehension test, and a reading recall (the texts were adjusted for different proficiency levels). Multiple regression analysis was applied to determine whether there was any significant relationship between working memory and reading at different levels of proficiency. The results of this study indicated a significant relationship between working memory capacity and L2 reading ability only among learners of lower proficiency, not for the intermediate and advanced levels. This suggests that working memory plays a diminishing role in discriminating performance on second language reading measures at higher levels of proficiency."--Abstract.

This chapter provides an account of the transient computational and storage demands that typically arise during comprehension, and of the information management policies that attempt to satisfy those demands. The chapter describes a number of recent studies that examine the trading relation between computation and storage in working memory during language comprehension. Comprehension processes tends to minimize storage requirements by minimize the number of partial products that have to be stored. The minimization is accomplished by immediately digesting as much of the information from the text as possible (what we have called the immediacy of processing), rather than using a 'wait-and-see' strategy. A second focus is on the differences among individuals in their ability to maintain information in working memory during comprehension. We have that such individual differences in working memory capacity are closely related to large and stable individual differences in reading comprehension ability. Keywords: Working memory, Reading comprehension, Individual differences.

This book introduces an approach to understanding and measuring working memory components and functions in second language learning, processing and development. It presents comprehensive, thorough and updated reviews of relevant literatures from cognitive sciences and applied linguistics. Drawing on multidisciplinary research, the book advocates a conceptual framework for integrating working memory theories with second language acquisition theories. An innovative theoretical model is also presented, which illuminates research studies investigating the distinctive roles of phonological and executive working memory as they relate to specific L2 learning domains, skills and processes. Theoretical and methodological implications of this integrative perspective are further elaborated and discussed within the specific realms of L2 task-based performance and language aptitude research.

This unique volume offers a comprehensive discussion of essential theoretical and methodological issues concerning the pivotal role of working memory in second language learning and processing. The collection opens with a foreword and introductory theoretical chapters written by leading figures in the field of cognitive psychology. Following these are three research sections containing chapters providing original data and innovative insights into the dynamic and complex relationships between working memory and specific areas of second language processing, instruction, performance and development. Each section concludes with a commentary which is written by a noted SLA researcher and which charts the course for future research. This book provides a fascinating collection of perspectives on the relationship between working memory and second language learning and will appeal to those interested in the integration of cognitive psychology with SLA research.

The widespread application of computer technologies to language learning has led to increasingly academic reading taking place in a CALL environment. This provides opportunities for multimedia annotations to assist the reading process. However, despite the increased interests and emerging literature in multimedia annotations, research has revealed wide variation in their effectiveness for reading comprehension and insufficient investigation into the mediating role of individual difference factors in annotation use. This study focuses on the effect of annotation use on L2 reading comprehension. In particular, it explores whether L2 reading is influenced by different types of annotations, and whether working memory (WM) mediates annotation use in influencing reading performance. One hundred and sixty-two ESL learners from a Chinese university participated in the study. They were identified to be low, medium or high in WM capacity based on the composite z-scores of three WM measures. The study required all participants to read four texts of the same difficulty, each text under a different condition: no annotations, verbal annotations, visual annotations, or verbal plus visual annotations. These conditions were counterbalanced across the readings. Participants completed a reading comprehension test for each reading, and a follow-up questionnaire on their perceptions of annotations. Fifteen participants were further interviewed to provide supplementary qualitative data concerning their reading strategies, interactions with annotations, and views of annotation design. The findings were mainly discussed with reference to the interactive model of reading, the theory of WM, the cognitive theory of multimedia learning, and the qualitative data from questionnaire and interview surveys. Results revealed that (a) annotation use led to improved reading comprehension, (b) the combined annotation treatment was most beneficial to reading comprehension, (c) annotation use benefited the low WM learners the most and the high WM learners the least, and (d) annotation types did not make a difference to reading comprehension for learners of similar WM capacity. The results thus suggest that annotations can enhance reading comprehension to varying degrees, and support the crucial role of WM in reading comprehension.

This Handbook, with 45 chapters written by the world’s leading scholars in second language acquisition (SLA) and language testing, dives into the important interface between SLA and language testing: shared ground where researchers seek to measure second language performance to better understand how people learn their second languages. The Handbook also reviews how to best measure and evaluate the second language (L2) learners’ personal characteristics, backgrounds, and learning contexts to better understand their L2 learning trajectories. Taking a transdisciplinary approach to research, the book builds upon recent theorizing and measurement principles from the fields of applied linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, psycholinguistics, psychometrics, educational measurement, and social psychology. The Handbook is divided into six key sections: (1) Assessment concepts for SLA researchers, (2) Building instruments for SLA research, (3) Measuring individual differences, (4) Measuring language development, (5) Testing specific populations, and (6) Measurement principles for SLA researchers.
