There is a strong lead with a clear definition of cross-language transfer. I'm not sure if the authors of the sources need to appear in the body of the article. The topic itself is intriguing, and very important for teachers of reading- whether to ENL students or not. The last source in your opening paragraph is not showing the link (though you have the author and year). 10% of students in the USA being ELLs is also fascinating- all the more reason to have an understanding of cross-language transfer!

I think "though most studies" might not be necessary- you can go into the Chung study right away in the paragraph. Are there more examples for this idea (of the cross-language being less likely with dissimilar orthography)? Are there examples of practices to enhance this cross-language transfer?

Some of the references aren't showing the link, though the information itself appears to be thorough. Not sure if this is an issue on Wikipedia's end of having the titles come up as links.
