Is Phonemic Awareness Training Necessary in Second Language Literacy Development? Is it Even Useful?

چکیده
The results of two kinds of studies show PA develops on its own in first language development, without instruction: (1) children in comparison groups in PA training studies, who get no PA training, typically improve in PA (Ehri, Nunes, Willows, Schuster, Yaghoub-Zadehm and Shanahan, 2001, p. 276); (2) longitudinal studies show that nearly all children score very well on tests of PA by about grade 3 (see e.g. Fox and Routh, 1975). Very few have had PA training.

متن کاملFrom phonological therapy to phonological awareness.
Children with speech difficulties often have delayed phonological awareness development and associated literacy problems. Speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) typically use phonological and articulatory approaches in their treatment of such children. However, it is unclear to what extent phonological awareness training, originally designed to promote literacy skills, might also improve children...
