Robin E. Harvey; Patricia J. Brooks – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Children learning Chinese must cope with an opaque orthography lacking transparent relations between oral pronunciations and written characters: a challenge heightened for L2 learners. Use of digital Pinyin input may facilitate connections between oral and written language by allowing learners to access vocabulary they cannot yet write. We…

Casper J. D. Jensen; Teresa Cadierno – Language Learning Journal, 2024
The number of learners seeking to acquire an L2 by means of apps is ever-increasing. This study examined the effectiveness of using the app "Mondly" for the acquisition of L2 English vocabulary while accounting for differences in the acquisition of receptive and productive aspects of word knowledge. Twelve Danish young learners (aged…

Zhang, Jie; Lo, Meng-Ting; Lin, Tzu-Jung – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study investigated how word and child characteristics affect children's ability to learn the meanings of novel words. Participants were fourth- and fifth-graders representing native English speakers (NE) and bilingual learners with fluent English proficiency (FEP) and designated English Learners (EL). Students were taught the meanings of a…

McMillen, Stephanie; Anaya, Jissel B.; Peña, Elizabeth D.; Bedore, Lisa M.; Barquin, Elisa – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research has investigated how lexical-semantic and participant factors impact word learning in young children and adults. However, limited information pertaining to expressive vocabulary development exists for school-aged bilinguals--particularly those with developmental language disorder (DLD). Cross-linguistic differences in the semantic…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Leiva, Sergio – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Substantial research among bilingual adults indicates that exposure to words primes other semantically related words within and across languages, as well as the direct translation equivalents [e.g. Chen and Ng 1989. "Semantic Facilitation and Translation Priming Effects in Chinese-English Bilinguals." "Memory & Cognition"…

Gabriella Reynolds; Krystal L. Werfel; Sarah Hudgins; Stephen Camarata; Fred H. Bess – Exceptional Children, 2024
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types of spelling errors made by children with mild to moderate hearing loss (CMMHL) compared with children with typical hearing (TH) and to determine if types of spelling errors were related to linguistic or audiologic factors. CMMHL and TH completed measures of spelling, spoken language, speech…

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the ability of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) to infer word class and meaning from text and to document variations by word class (noun, verb, adjective) and modality (listening, reading). We also asked whether the children could integrate global cues across the entire passage as…

Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Asli-Badarneh, Abeer; Janaideh, Redab Al; Khateb, Asaid – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study investigated the strength of lexical and non-lexical processing among Arabic (L1) English (L3)-speaking children (fourth and fifth grades, N = 532) in two writing systems that vary in terms of transparency. Children were assessed using word reading, phonological and vocabulary measures. In Arabic, the study focused on standard form.…

Leider, Christine M.; Proctor, C. Patrick; Silverman, Rebecca D. – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
This two-year longitudinal study examined the role of linguistic interdependence between Spanish and English among a group of first, second, and third generation immigrant Spanish-English bilingual children. Starting from a theoretical perspective on linguistic interdependence that takes into account linguistic constructs and their measurement,…

Martínez Hinestroza, José; Peña-Pincheira, Romina S.; Adams Corral, Melissa – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Previous research on bilingual mathematics education has proposed that as children "language mathematics" they use multiple sources of meaning. In this paper, we focus on lexical inventions--bilingual children's made up words that are not formally defined or used but follow the phonology and morphology of a language--as a source of…

Amanda A. Ault – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The achievement gap is ever growing in the United States educational system. Low socioeconomic students is one demographic group who is targeted for educators to evaluate teaching and learning.

Paz Suárez-Coalla; Luis Castejón; Marina Vega-Harwood; Cristina Martínez-García – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Reading acquisition involves connections between the spoken language and the writing system. The English-language writing system holds an inconsistent alphabetic system, thus encouraging readers to develop representations between the grapheme and the word. Reading in English as a Foreign language supposes a challenge, especially when the reader's…

Catherine Mimeau; Jessie Ricketts; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: Prominent theories of reading make the prediction that individual differences in children's word learning capacity determine the pace of their acquisition of reading skill. Despite the developmental nature of some of these theories, most empirical research to date has explored the relation between word learning capacity and reading at…

Collins, Ginger; Wolter, Julie A.; Meaux, Ashley Bourque; Alonzo, Crystle N. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: Reading and writing are language-based skills, and effective literacy instruction/intervention practices should include an explicit linguistic focus. A multilinguistic structured literacy approach that integrates morphological awareness is proven beneficial to improve reading and writing for students with language literacy deficits. The…

Zhang, Jie; Zhang, Huan; Relyea, Jackie Eunjung; Wui, Ma. Glenda Lopez; Yan, Yan; Nam, Rosa; Enriquez, Araceli; Kharabi-Yamato, Lana – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
The current study aimed to investigate whether exposure to spellings would boost memory of meanings and spellings of morphologically complex words, and when spellings are present, whether drawing attention to the morphology of derivative words would activate morphological analysis and therefore enhance word learning. Participants were 36 fourth…
