Navigating Literacy Challenges: A Comprehensive Study on Reading Difficulties and Vocabulary Development in Applied Linguistics

Abstract

In the expansive domain of Applied Linguistics, the recognition of the profound impact of literacy challenges on academic success is underscored by alarming statistics. This research proposal endeavors to embark on a thorough exploration of the intricate dynamics associated with reading difficulties and vocabulary development. The intent is to contribute not just qualitative insights but also to bolster the narrative with compelling statistical evidence. As literacy stands as the cornerstone of effective communication, academic achievement, and, ultimately, socio-economic success, a comprehensive study in this area is not only timely but imperative to inform pedagogical practices and intervention strategies.
