Functional illiteracy in reading comprehension with reference to foreign language

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the phenomenon of functional illiteracy in the context of reading comprehension in a first and second language (L1, L2). Possible causes for functional illiteracy were described. An attempt was made to discuss whether reading difficulties in the L1 might be directly linked to functional illiteracy and transferred to reading ability in the L2 and thereby to the learning of this language. As it was noticed that there is an apparent lack of research showing correlations between language comprehension while reading in the L1 or L2 and functional illiteracy, the issue needs an empirical exploration. In spite of this, current reading ability tests might be, to a certain extent helpful to identify some symptoms of functional illiteracy.
