Abstract

There have been conflicting perspectives regarding the issues of when and how to introduce reading in elementary school English. This paper presents a review of studies on the relationship between oral language and reading, as well as on the debate over different approaches to teaching beginning reading. Research indicates that it is advantageous for young EFL learners to develop oral language skills before they learn to read in English. The definitive level of oral proficiency essential for reading instruction is however difficult to pinpoint. In addition, there is evidence that just as oral proficiency supports literacy development, so does reading assist oral development in L2 learning. We need more finely grained analyses to identify specific oral language requirements for different stages of L2 reading development. With regards to the debate over phonics/whole language, research to date seems to endorse a balanced approach to teaching reading, but this requires a good understanding of both learners’ developmental stages in reading and the effectiveness of each approach for learners at different stages. More emphasis should be given to how to appropriate each approach in an EFL context, as well as how to balance skills instruction with real reading for young EFL learners. Some implications for developing the next curriculum are then presented, and directions for future research are suggested as well.
