Detailed explanation-1: -The cognitive model of L2 reading comprehension features five reading subskills: using lexical knowledge, using grammar knowledge, understanding explicitly stated information, local inferencing, and connecting ideas and sentences. Using lexical knowledge helps readers to decipher the sentences and form propositions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Challenges faced by second language students of English can include lack of exposure, over use of L1, unskilled teachers, no emphasis on English, cultural barriers to learning and cost. However, a good teacher can develop strategies and methods to tackle challenges and include as many students as possible.
