Details	The presenter described research examining 73 high school students (57 EAL, 16 First Language English (FLE)) studying at two international schools in Japan. Participants were assessed according to four factors: vocabulary knowledge (Updated Vocabulary Levels Test (uVLT); Webb et al., 2017), word decoding ability (Single Word Reading Test (SWRT); Snowling et al., 2009), reading comprehension (York Assessment of Reading Comprehension (YARC); Snowling et al., 2009), and general language proficiency (C-test; Trakulphadetkrai et al., 2017). Multiple regression analysis results showed that vocabulary was a statistically significant predictor of academic achievement, particularly for EAL learners.
