L1 vs L2

Have a sufficient vocabulary and know thousands of words before reading Acquiring knowledge about the world at the same time they are acquiring language Naturalistic exposure for most of their life Goals target language competence Do not have a sufficient vocabulary Reading requires knowledge of content, formal, and linguistic schema Readers will consciously or unconsciously behave in specific behaviors to enhance their comprehension Diverse Learning depends on the individual and the situation they are in Instruction is helpful and/or necessary Fluency vs Accuracy
