Semiotic anomalies in English, as second language learners of immigrant parents acquire first time literacySnelgar, Elizabeth Claire Gien 11 1900 (has links)
Research has shown that literacy acquisition and the ultimate realisation of literacy, comprehension
of the written text requires more than the ability to decode individual words. This study brings
together a synthesis of current research on early language acquisition, language structure,
vocabulary development and its intrinsic underpinning of comprehension in monolinguals thereby
providing a theoretical framework for a comparative study of limited English proficient learners
(LEP’s)/English language learners (ELLs) acquiring first time literacy with the attendant vocabulary
deficits and age appropriate decoding skills. A quantitative and qualitative study examines the
statistical differences between reading, vocabulary, rapid automatic naming (RAN/decoding) and
comprehension when a learner born of foreign parents acquires first time literacy in a language
other than the language spoken at home. The study isolates and specifies an at risk educational
minority through the identification of a hidden comprehension deficit (HCD).
In summarising the main findings from the literature review and the empirical investigation, an “at
risk educational minority” was identified and isolated through the identification of the HCD. The
envisioned outcome was achieved and the hypothesis accepted. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Inclusive Education)
