While it is widely accepted that language teachers require knowledge of second language acquisition (SLA) (Richards, 2010), what about content teachers, who are increasingly required to help develop their learners' academic language proficiency?

Although recent empirical studies on decoding training have provided positive evidence on its effectiveness in improving EFL…

Pumpki Lei Su; Raúl Rojas; Jill de Villiers; Roberta Golinkoff; Aquiles Iglesias – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Bilingual children demonstrate varying levels of proficiency in each of the two languages to which they are exposed.

In this study, we used the…

Daniel Freudenthal; Fernand Gobet; Julian M. Pine – Language Learning, 2024
This study extended an existing crosslinguistic model of verb-marking errors in children's early multiword speech (MOSAIC) by adding a novel mechanism that defaults to the most frequent form of the verb where this accounts for a high proportion of forms in the input. Our simulations showed that the resulting model not only provides a better…

Natasha Vernooij – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates how bilinguals use their two grammars to comprehend written intra-sentential codeswitches. I focus on adjective/noun constructions in Spanish and English where I manipulate the congruence of grammatical word order in the two languages across the codeswitch boundary. This allows me to test three codeswitching…

Soomin Jwa – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2025
With increasing attention to student engagement with feedback, the need for a paradigm shift problematizing the transmissive view of feedback has been voiced. Recent perspectives hold that feedback is a dialogic process and opportunities for dialogue promote students' knowledge-making processes in their engagement with feedback. Theoretically…

Militina Gomozova; Valeriia Lezzhova; Olga Dragoy; Anastasiya Lopukhina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Previously, Lancaster and Camarata (2019) showed that the continuum/spectrum model of the developmental language disorder (DLD) best explained the high heterogeneity of symptoms in children with DLD. We hypothesize that the continuum/spectrum approach can include not only children with DLD but also typically developing (TD) children with…
