Guillem Belmar Viernes – ProQuest LLC, 2024
There is a significant diaspora of Mixtec people residing along California's Central Coast, mostly working in the agricultural sector.

We urgently need more…

Boyoung Kim; Grant Goodall – Second Language Research, 2024
Recent approaches to the "that"-trace phenomenon in English include syntactic analyses based on the principle of Anti-locality and a sentence production analysis based on the Principle of End Weight. These analyses have many similarities, but they differ in their predictions for second language (L2) speakers. In an Anti-locality…

Claudia H. Sánchez-Gutiérrez; Pablo Robles-García; Mercedes Pérez Serrano – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Studies on teachers' beliefs about vocabulary learning and teaching have focused, so far, on English as a second language (L2), or foreign language (FL), in different contexts but little attention has been given to other L2s and FLs. In this study, 15 Spanish L2 instructors at large universities were interviewed in order to better understand where…

Gonzalves, Lisa – Language Awareness, 2021
Many U.S. adult schools currently aim to create academic and career pathways by implementing higher order thinking and metalinguistic application in their ESL curriculum. However, this 'ability to reflect on and manipulate the structural features of language' poses a significant hurdle to adult ESL learners newly learning to read and write, as…

White, Michelle; Newell, Mallory – RP Group, 2022
In Assembly Bill (AB) 705, assessment and placement practices in California Community Colleges (CCC) should maximize the probability that students who enter credit-bearing English as a second language (ESL) course sequences complete degree and transfer requirements in English within three years. The three-year timeframe begins when a student…

Paul Adrian Kidhardt – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The primary goal of this dissertation is to contribute to a predictive model of Spanish heritage grammars by applying recent advancements in machine learning to ferret out factors and covariates that give rise to the Spanish subjunctive. Given that "[p]redictive models would entail that we have a far better understanding of the various…

Samuel S. Davidson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Automated corrective feedback (ACF), in which a computer system helps language learners identify and correct errors in their writing or speech, is considered an important tool for language instruction by many researchers. Such systems allow learners to correct their own mistakes, thereby reducing teacher workload and potentially preventing issues…

Karimi, Hossein; Diaz, Michele; Ferreira, Fernanda – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
We examined whether the position of modifiers in English influences how words are encoded and subsequently retrieved from memory. Compared with premodifiers, postmodifiers might confer more perceptual significance to the associated head nouns, are more consistent with the "given-before-new" information structure, and might also be easier…

Pan, Steven C.; Tajran, Jahan; Lovelett, Jarrett; Osuna, Jessica; Rickard, Timothy C. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Do the cognitive benefits of "interleaving"--the method of alternating between two or more skills or concepts during training--extend to foreign language learning? In four experiments, we investigated the efficacy of interleaved versus conventional blocked practice for teaching adult learners to conjugate Spanish verbs in the…
