Concepción Soto; Monika S. Schmid – Language Learning Journal, 2024
Despite the extensive research on bilingual development, our understanding of how lexical competition unfolds in the bilingual mind remains limited. Previous studies have predominantly focused on crosslinguistic competition, neglecting the examination of the competition process within each language and the influence of diverse bilingual…

Esther Nieto Moreno de Diezmas; Beatriz García Fernández; José-Reyes Ruiz-Gallardo – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
The objective of this study was to identify the impact of implementing English as a medium of instruction (EMI) drawing upon Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology in science for pre-service teachers. Lecturers specialized in modern languages and science education collaborated to design and implement the CLIL-izing EMI…

Almudena Fernández-Fontecha; Rosa Mª Jiménez Catalán; James Ryan – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Research is scarce about the lexical processes undertaken by thousands of L2 learners worldwide who already command one or more languages. Some aspects involved in lexical organisation and production, such as clustering and switching, have been traditionally approached through manual methods, which depend on subjective judgments of semantic…

Geòrgia Pujadas; Carmen Muñoz – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
The extent to which L2 television is viewed by foreign language learners will depend on the degree to which it is understood. The addition of captions has been shown to support comprehension (e.g., Birulés-Muntané & Soto-Faraco, 2016; Montero-Perez, Peters, & Desmet, 2014), especially when proficiency is low (e.g., Lavaur & Bairstow,…

Ana Llinares; Tarja Nikula – Language and Education, 2024
This article presents findings from an empirical study in which we investigated Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) students' linguistic resources in the L2 (English) to convey different Cognitive Discourse Functions (Dalton-Puffer 2013; 2016)--"Describe, Compare (Categorize), Report, Evaluate" and "Explore"--in two…

Fielden Burns, Laura V.; Martínez Agudo, Juan de Dios – TESL-EJ, 2023
This research investigated six established areas for quality (Ortega-Martín et al., 2018) in the implementation of CLIL programmes in a Spanish monolingual autonomous community from the perspective of its teachers, in particular focusing on possible differences of opinion between content and English language teachers, an understudied area. Both…

Llanes, Àngels; Cots, Josep M. – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2022
This study compares the language proficiency gains of two groups of students taking a business English course module in a bilingual university in Catalonia (Spain). Whereas one of these groups followed a 'translanguaging' or 'plurilingual' pedagogy, the other followed a strictly monolingual approach. Participants were 54 mostly Catalan/Spanish…

de la Cruz-Pavía, Irene; Elordieta, Gorka; Villegas, Julián; Gervain, Judit; Laka, Itziar – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
In two artificial language learning experiments with four groups of highly proficient Basque-Spanish bilinguals and two groups of Spanish monolinguals, we examine the cues that allow adult listeners to parse new input into phrases. In addition, we investigate which factors lead bilinguals to switch between the segmentation strategies…

Juana María Anguita-Acero; Oscar Navarro-Martinez; Lauren Rebecca Jordan – European Journal of Education, 2024
At present, developmental dyslexia is classified as a specific language disorder recognised by inclusive educational laws in Spain and the United Kingdom. Phonological correspondence is very different in Spanish and in English, and the difficulties they entail for native speakers are also different. The predominance of English worldwide has led to…

Rodríguez-Cuadrado, Sara; Ojedo, Fernando; Vicente-Conesa, Francisco; Romero-Rivas, Carlos; Sampedro, Miguel Ángel Carlos; Santiago, Julio – Second Language Research, 2023
Several studies have explored the use of iconic gestures to improve the learning of foreign vocabulary. In this quest, words for abstract concepts have been largely neglected, under the assumption that abstract concepts have poor or non-existent sensory-motor representations. Yet, the Conceptual Metaphor Theory suggests that they are grounded on…

Carmen Muñoz; Anastasia Pattemore; Daniela Avello – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
Repeated viewing of the same video is a common strategy among autonomous language learners as well as a much used pedagogical strategy among foreign language (FL) teachers. Learners may watch the same video more than once, to increase global comprehension of the target language or to focus their attention on linguistic aspects, such as new…

Bergroth, Mari; Llompart, Júlia; Pepiot, Nathalie; van der Worp, Karin; Dražnik, Tjaša; Sierens, Sven – European Educational Research Journal, 2022
This study sought to explore the ideological and implementational spaces for mainstreaming multilingual pedagogies (MPs) in initial teacher education (ITE) policies and curricula across the European Union. The concept of linguistically sensitive teaching (LST) was used as a lens to examine inclusive, equity-centred MPs in ITE. A multi-sited…

Sánchez-Pérez, María del Mar – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
This study analyzes the influence of English medium instruction (EMI) on student English writing development in a Spanish undergraduate context, a language skill that remains underexplored in EMI research at tertiary level. Through a longitudinal pre- and post-test method, it explores the writing progress of EMI engineering students as compared to…

Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Rothman, Jason; Tubau, Susagna – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
This study examines the extent to which extra-linguistic factors such as language dominance, order of acquisition and language of instruction are deterministic for multilingual transfer selection and subsequent development. We test two groups of Catalan-Spanish bilinguals acquiring English as an L3 in a controlled setting. We first examine…

Björklund, Siv, Ed.; Björklund, Mikaela, Ed. – Multilingual Matters, 2023
Exploring multilingualism as a complex, context-related, societal and individual phenomenon, this book centres around perspectives on how multiple languages are made (in)visible within educational settings in the Global North. The authors of each chapter compare and contrast findings across geographical contexts with the goal of understanding the…
