Alfredo Urzúa – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
Research shows that bilingual learners move naturally between their languages to learn; however, this practice is not welcomed in many second/foreign language classrooms given the belief that first language (L1) use negatively affects second language (L2) development, despite much empirical evidence to the contrary. Moreover, translanguaging…

Miroslaw Pawlak – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
Although the distinction between explicit and implicit (automatized) knowledge of second or foreign language (L2) is of crucial importance to second language acquisition (SLA) theory and research, it has thus far not been directly applied to L2 pronunciation. The paper attempts to fill this gap by making an initial attempt to illustrate the…

This study aimed to further understanding of immersion language development by examining in-class freewriting, classroom-assessed reading, and year-end STAMP 4Se proficiency levels in 4th-grade Chinese immersion over an academic year. Specifically, we aimed to understand (1) how learners express themselves in freewriting, (2) growth in freewriting…

Michael Gradoville – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
This article examines enrollments in languages other than English in United States higher education from the perspective of geographical distribution. While the overall decline in language enrollments is well known, enrollments are also very unequal across states when accounting for population. By cross-referencing MLA language enrollment data…

Li Yang – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
Among the wide applications of digital tools in second language (L2) pragmatics, the utilization of self-access websites as a medium for instructional delivery has promising potential. To further investigate the learning benefits of website-delivered instruction, this study reported on the design, implementation, and effectiveness of an…

Rodica Frimu; Bernard Ibrahim Issa – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
This study compares learner perceptions in a synchronous online versus face-to-face (F2F) learning context about four principles of communicative language teaching (CLT): promoting collaborative learning, using comprehensible input, considering affective factors, and providing corrective feedback. Data were obtained via online surveys from…

This exploratory, mixed methods study proposes that pedagogical translation be implemented for biliteracy acquisition in mixed heritage language (HL)-second language (L2) secondary Spanish classrooms. It investigates the mediation of pedagogical translation for reading comprehension in two mixed HL-L2 secondary Spanish classrooms at a suburban…

Mark Darhower; Dawn Smith-Sherwood – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) are increasingly prevalent in world language instruction. While researchers have investigated various dimensions of IPAs, only one previous study has analyzed the discursive content of associated teacher-learner co-constructive feedback sessions (Adair-Hauck & Troyan, 2013). The present study examines…

Vita Kogan; Andrea Re´ve´sz; Suet-sin Cheung – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
There is compelling empirical evidence suggesting that more authentic learning tasks improve second language learners' motivation and learning (Long, 1996; Van Lier, 2014). However, most research on this topic has focused on Germanic and Romance L2 languages, primarily in the context of speaking skills. Little is known about the effect of task…

Troy L. Cox; Gregory L. Thompson; Steven S. Stokes – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
This study investigated the differences between the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview - Computer (OPIc) among Spanish learners at a U.S. university. Participants (N = 154) were randomly assigned to take both tests in a counterbalanced order to mitigate test order effects. Data were analyzed using an…

Elena Shimanskaya – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
In this study, I compare the accuracy of automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcription against two measures of intelligibility provided by human listeners. The data came from readings of five texts recorded by 15 language learners of French. Human understanding was gauged by (i) asking a group of 36 naïve first language (L1) speakers of French…

Marika Kunnas; Mimi Masson; Shawna M. Carroll – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
This paper presents the findings related to culture from an online survey with French as a second language (FSL) teachers (n = 45) about equity and antioppression in the Ontario FSL curriculum. FSL teachers defined culture and reflected on the link between language and culture and the role of students' cultures in FSL. Framed by an anti-biased,…

Marie Mangold – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
One of the critiques of proficiency as defined by scales, such as that of ACTFL, is its lack of grounding in linguistic realities. Measures of complexity, accuracy, and fluency provide a route in which proficiency can be quantitatively measured by identifying linguistic correlates (see Brown et al., 2017; Long et al., 2012). This project aimed to…
