摘要：This study examined the difference between less-skilled and skilled L1Slovene English as foreign language (EFL) students in foreign language(L2) fluency and L2 orthographic skills; 93 less-skilled Grade 7 L1 Slovenestudents and 102 skilled Grade 7 L1 Slovene students participated in thestudy. The results showed that skilled readers performed better in all fluencyand orthographic skills tasks, as the differences between groups werestatistically significant. The correlations among all variables showed thatL2 fluency and L2 orthographic skills are positively interrelated amongboth groups, suggesting that higher L2 fluency scores are associated withhigher L2 orthography scores. This outcome implies that less-skilled readersneed to be greatly exposed to L2 language and be ensured necessaryopportunities in- or outside the classroom in L2 learning.
