【Abstract】In recent years, there have been a growing number of researches of L2 (Second Language) Reading. These studies suggest a few major factors in L2 reading through reviewing and laying out some key recent research data and results home and abroad. The factors included in this paper are WM (working memory) and L1 literacy. Based on these results, it then proposes classroom teaching implications in ESL reading.
【Key words】L2(Second Language)Reading；cognitive process
Working Memory
Second language learning is related to various kinds of cognitive processes among which working memory is gaining growing attention from researchers in the field. Working memory is defined as a system with the function of storing and processing information and also includes carrying out cognitive tasks like comprehension. Therefore, for some researchers, working memory is considered to be one the effect of WM (β =299) is relatively limited. .
L1 literacy
The role of L1 literacy in L2 reading did not capture any attention until the 1990s. In recent years, researchers began to realize and bring focus on the impact of L1 literacy in L2 reading comprehension (Bernhardt, 2005; Koda, 2007). According to Linguistic Interdependent Hypothesis, L1 and L2 language skills share many similarities and rely on each other. The hypothesis upholds that L1 lays a solid foundation for L2 reading development, (as cited by Jiang,2011). This means that language transfer may be helpful to develop reading skills.
