Abstract
This paper is intended to investigate Reading Proficiency in Japanese and to find factors which related to it. ” Developmental Reading Assessment-Japanese (DRA-J)” is developed to assess reading proficiency of Culturally Linguistically Diverse Children (CLD) . It is evaluate from three aspects, such as reading behavior, reading comprehension and reading in daily life.
Informants are five Taiwanese-Japanese Children born and growing up in Taiwan and all of them are students of local elementary school.
According to the result of assessment, it is found that four informants out of five had following abilities; (1) can read text which they see for the first time aloud smoothly without errors, (2) can retell story which they just read, (3) read with having images of that story.
As previous study indicated, informant’s amount of vocabulary is related to the achievement of linguistic tasks. And result shows that those four informants have certain amounts of vocabulary to read those texts through reading Japanese books including reading-aloud by their mother.
Further research would be needed to clarify their development on JHL acquisition.
