In this paper, I first provide a brief review of how scholars have conceptualized, tested, and elaborated aptitude frameworks relevant to second language (L2) speech learning.

Alice Vidal; Albert Costa; Alice Foucart – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Our preferences and evaluations are often affected by contextual factors. One unavoidable context is language.

An EC effect was…
