This study compared low and high risk first-year high school foreign language learners on measures of cognitive, foreign language, and native language performance. Low risk learners were those who had made an A or B in the first-quarter foreign language course wem identified by their foreign language teacher as good language learners, and scored low risk on an author-designed foreign language xmning instrument (Ganschow and Sparks, 21); high risk learners made a D or F in the first quartec were identified by their fomign language teachers as poor language learners, and scored high risk on the screening instrument. Signi3- cant diffemnces between thegroups were found on most assessed measures of native language phonology and syntax and on the Short and Long Forms and all subtests of the Modern Language Aptitude Test. No differences were found on semantic measurn. Based on mlts of native and foreign language assessments, the authors ider that students with foreign language learning difficulties have subtle but underlying native language learning difficulties, especially in the phonological and syntactic codes of language. Implications for the diagnosis and teaching of students with foreign language learn- ing problems are discussed
