| Abstract | The current study examined the cognitive-linguistic profiles of early Chinese learners
of English as a second language. A word reading task and four cognitive-linguistic tasks,
including expressive vocabulary, receptive vocabulary, phonological awareness, and
orthographic awareness, were administered to a representative sample of 110 Hong Kong
Chinese primary school students learning English as a second language. Results showed that
vocabulary knowledge, phonological awareness, and orthographic awareness were predictive
of English word reading performance. Additionally, vocabulary knowledge and phonological
awareness effectively distinguish poor readers from typical readers in the current sample.
Both theoretical and educational implications were discussed.
