Rémi A. van Compernolle – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This article presents the use of conversation analysis (CA) in the context of sociocultural theory (SCT) driven research on L2 development, or CA-for-SCT. I focus specifically on the CA concept of action ascription as it applies to understanding the nature of mediation in interaction. I begin with an overview of the concept of action ascription…

Alessandro Rosborough; Lauren E. Johnson; Jennifer J. Wimmer – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This conceptual paper deals with ways in which gesture or embodied utterances create deictic expressions (i.e., deixis) that are relevant to second language teaching and learning. While many gesture types have been found to be material carriers of meaning (McNeill, 1992; Vygotsky, 1986), deictics have the ability and function to create new…

Mark D. Johnson – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Second language (L2) writing researchers have enthusiastically adopted task complexity frameworks in their examination of the effects of complex task features on L2 written performance. However, such research often overlooks the effect(s) of such features on general L2 development as well as L2 writing development. Drawing from Manch?n and…

David Singleton; Justyna Lesniewska – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This article delves into the ongoing debate surrounding the role of age in second language acquisition, examining developments over the past three decades and highlighting contentious issues. We argue that the commonly held belief in age's pivotal role is frequently contradicted by empirical evidence. Additionally, we examine the agerelated debate…

Xie Fei; Omer Hassan Ali Mahfoodh; Malini N. G. Ganapathy – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
While extensive research has explored Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition (SLVA) acquisition, there has been a lack of comprehensive bibliometric analysis on this topic. This study addresses this gap by investigating research trends and collaboration networks in SLVA over the past 24 years. Publications on SLVA were retrieved and analysed using…

James P. Lantolf – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This article provides a theoretical and empirical argument in support of explicit language instruction. It proposes on theoretical grounds that certain features of a language are sufficiently complex and subtle that learners are unlikely to be able to decipher their full conceptual meaning on the basis of exposure alone. It further proposes that…

Jie Zhang – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Chinese vocabulary is characterized by compound words composed of monosyllabic morphemes. Compounds sharing a common lexeme often exhibit polysemous meanings, forming a cognitive semantic network. Systematic instruction on these high-frequency compounds can help learners access their meanings and underlying structure, making learning more…

Neda Soleimani; José David Herazo; Mohammad Rahimi – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2025
L2 teachers' written feedback (WF) has been widely researched as one key cognitive factor in students' learning of a new language. Little research, however, has viewed WF as a contextually embodied and socially mediated activity that may be influenced by professional development. We compared five Iranian EFL teachers' WF before and after a…

Yuwei Xia; Ying Luo; Xiaofei Lu – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Grounded in Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, Dynamic Assessment (DA) can provide fine-tuned information regarding learners' development and opportunities to promote further development. Vocabulary knowledge, because of its complex nature, requires a more sensitive assessment, especially for second language (L2) learners. This systematic literature…

Višnja Pavicic Takac – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Inspired by Rebecca Oxford's thought-provoking reflections on language learning strategies, and particularly her orchestra metaphor on how the strategies work together, I conducted a study that seeks to understand how non-native writers employ, configure, sequence and combine individual writing strategies when creating a text in the target…

Megala Rajendran; Moniza Ray; Ajit Ilangovan; Vinoth Kumar Chokkalingam; Anand Binod Singh – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Digital games are increasingly used in education to boost engagement and reduce stress. Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has improved the learning experience. However, further investigation is needed to determine the specific impact of commercially available, off-the-shelf (COTS) video games on English language skills. This study provides a…

Judith F. Kroll; Paola E. Dussias – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
In the history of psycholinguistics, there are traditional accounts that have been told about language learning and processing. These accounts revolve around the constraints imposed by the age of language learning and by universal principles that are assumed to be natively given. The contribution of Brian MacWhinney and his collaborators has been…

Steven G. McCafferty – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Vygotsky chose consciousness as a foundation for his approach to psychology, although it took several iterations to arrive at his final conception of a dynamic, semantic system, which included not only thought and language, the subject of most of his work up to that point, but how we refract our experience of the world through personhood as well.…
