文摘

Students with a multilingual background show more often difficulties in reading comprehension than their monolingual peers. However, the majority of studies has been conducted with learners of English as a second language. Therefore, this paper examines whether the results of these studies can be validated for learners whose first or second language is German and who learn English as a foreign language. In 2013, a census of English competences of students at the end of lower secondary education was carried out in Austria and at the same time, national educational standards in German were tested in a representative sample (n = 4056) of the same cohort. These data allow comparing the level of students’ reading comprehension in English and in German. Using a multilevel model we show that the achievement level of reading comprehension in German is a significant predictor of the level of reading comprehension in English. Whether German as the medium of instruction represents the students’ first or second language is of little consequence for their achievement in reading in English as a foreign language.
