Abstract

Although the development of orthographic knowledge has been well-documented in L1 English children, relatively little work has examined orthographic development in L2 learners, particularly of non-English languages. This paper presents preliminary results from a longitudinal and cross-sectional study of orthographic knowledge development in 81 adult L2 Japanese learners in their first and second years of language study. Results show changing patterns of frequent error types across development, as well as different patterns of errors between learners with L1 English vs. L1 Chinese. These error types are compared across L1 groups and across time. Pedagogical implications are also discussed.
