Fifty-four students were tested at specific time intervals over 10 years to determine best native language (NL) predictors of oral and written foreign language (FL) proficiency and FL aptitude. All participants completed two years of Spanish, French, or German. Each was administered measures of NL literacy, oral language, and cognitive ability in elementary school. A measure of FL aptitude was administered at the beginning of ninth grade and FL proficiency was evaluated at the end of the 10th grade. Among the variables, NL literacy measures were the best predictors of FL proficiency, and NL achievement and general (verbal) intelligence were strong predictors of FL aptitude. Results suggest that indices of NL literacy as early as first grade are related to FL proficiency and FL aptitude nine and 10 years later. Findings provide strong support for connections between L1 and L2 skills, and for speculation that "lower level" skills in phonological processing are important for written language development and oral proficiency in a FL.
在10年的时间里,研究人员在特定的时间间隔对54名学生进行了测试,以确定母语(NL)对口语和书面外语(FL)能力及外语学习能力倾向的最佳预测指标。所有参与者都完成了两年的西班牙语、法语或德语学习。在小学阶段,对每个人进行母语读写能力、口语能力和认知能力的测试。在九年级开始时进行外语学习能力倾向测试,并在十年级结束时评估外语能力。在这些变量中,母语读写能力测试是外语能力的最佳预测指标,而母语成绩和一般(语言)智力是外语学习能力倾向的有力预测指标。结果表明,早在一年级时的母语读写能力指标就与九年后和十年后的外语能力及外语学习能力倾向相关。研究结果为第一语言和第二语言技能之间的联系提供了有力支持,并支持了这样一种推测,即语音处理方面的“较低水平”技能对于书面语言发展和外语口语能力很重要。
