  • Reading in English As a Second Language with Developmental Dyslexia a Literature Review
    Reading in English as a Second Language with Developmental Dyslexia A literature review Marianna Pawlak Ämneslärarprogrammet Degree essay: 15 hp Course: LGEN1G Level: Undergraduate Term/year: HT/2016 Supervisor: Anne Dragemark Oscarson Examiner: Pia Köhlmyr Code: HT16-­‐1160-­‐016-­‐LGEN1G Keywords: Developmental Dyslexia, Reading, ESL, L2 Abstract This review presents recent research in the field of the language-based disorder dyslexia and its implications in reading in a second language (L2), with focus on the English language. It first gives a definition and mapping of the disorder followed by a theoretical background illustrating reading theories and models. This paper draws upon recent linguistic and biological studies concerning various aspects of dyslexia and reading in L2. The research question is: What does recent research, in the field of developmental dyslectics, show about acquiring reading skills in English as a second or foreign language? By using quantitative research approach, reading studies and articles, it was found that reading in English as a second or foreign language is a difficult task for dyslectic students, regardless of their native language, due to the English opaque orthography. Additionally, it was also found that very little research has been conducted within this field. This review will highlight the prominent and relevant research giving an insight to what the little research within this field displays.

  • List of Plain English Words and Phrases - Wikipedia Page 1 of 18
    List of plain English words and phrases - Wikipedia Page 1 of 18 List of plain English words and phrases From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Plain English (sometimes referred to more broadly as plain language) is a generic term for communicating in English that emphasizes clarity, brevity, and avoiding technical language—particularly relating to official government or business communication. It uses simple, familiar words instead of lengthy, formal words,[1] avoids jargon, prefers positive words to negative words,[2] and prefers strong verbs to be verbs.[3] This is a list of plain English words and phrases and the more lengthy, formal words for which they are recommended as replacements in writing guides. The problem word is listed first; the plain English alternative follows. Contents : Top · 0–9 · A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z A ◾ above-mentioned, above-listed, before-mentioned, aforementioned – (omit)[4][5] ◾ abundance – enough, plenty, (or specific amount)[6] ◾ accede to – allow, agree to[6] ◾ accelerate – speed up[6] ◾ accentuate – stress[6] ◾ accommodation – room[7] ◾ accompany – go with,[8] with[6] ◾ accomplish – do[8] ◾ accorded – given[8] ◾ accordingly – thus, so[8][9] ◾ accrue – add, gain[8] ◾ accurate – right[8] ◾ acquiesce – agree[6] ◾ acquire – get[6] ◾ additional – extra[8][10][11] ◾ address – discuss[8] ◾ addressees – you[8] ◾ adjacent to – Next to[8] ◾ adjustment – change, alteration[6] ◾ admissible – allowed, accepted[6] ◾ advantageous – helpful[8] ◾ adversely impact on – hurt, set back[8] ◾ advise – tell[8][12] ◾ afford an opportunity – allow, let[8] ◾ aggregate – total[6] ◾ aircraft – airplane (USA) / aeroplane (UK)[8] ("Plane" can also mean "flat surface" and a woodworking tool; the word "airplane" avoids this confusion.
