Yang, Juan; Qi, X. F.; Liu, R.; Wang, L.; Sun, B. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Computer-assisted textual enhancement (CATE) technology has been widely used to improve English as foreign language (EFL) learners' syntactical and grammatical learning. Visual attention, repetition, and prior knowledge are known as the vital factors in CATE-assisted knowledge-acquisition; however, there still lacks a model which can describe…

McManus, Kevin – Language Teaching, 2022
Investigations of crosslinguistic effects in second language acquisition (SLA) have contributed rich understandings about the ways in which prior language knowledge and experience can influence additional language learning. Building on this work, one recent line of research has examined the extent to which SLA findings about crosslinguistic…

Yoojin Chung; Andrea Révész – Language Teaching Research, 2024
This study examined the extent to which textual enhancement incorporated into the post-task stage of task-based reading lessons can promote development in second language (L2) grammatical knowledge. The participants were 49 child language learners who participated in task-based reading lessons in their own classroom contexts. They were randomly…

Cayado, Dave Kenneth Tayao; Chan, Ricky K. W. – Language Learning, 2023
Previous studies have shown that prior linguistic knowledge affects semantic implicit learning when stimuli are presented in the first language. We report an experiment that investigated whether such crosslinguistic influence from the first language would still emerge in the second language for semantic implicit learning of novel articles and…

Sherry Y. Chen; Chia-Yi Tseng; Chao-Yang Cheng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study proposed a three-tier test to help students learn English grammar. To reduce students' anxiety, game-based learning was incorporated into the three-tier test, where personalization was also implemented to accommodate students' different needs. More specifically, we developed a Personalized Entertaining Three-Tier Test (PET3), which…

Jingyun Wang; Adam Wynn; Takahiko Mendori; Gwo-Jen Hwang – Smart Learning Environments, 2024
This study investigates the effect of studying with topic maps provided by a self-developed language learning support system on (a) learning perception, (b) learning achievement and (c) variation in learning attitude and motivation, from the perspective of prior learning attitude, motivation and learning style. An analysis was conducted on the…

Rutamornchai, Nuttapong; Tepsuriwong, Saowaluck – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2022
EFL learners commonly infer word meanings while reading. However, previous research suggested that a large number of lexical inferencing attempts were far from success (Nylander, 2014; Qian, 2005). This study aims to examine possible factors of failure in lexical inferencing, with strategy use as a main focus. Eight participants were asked to read…

Cintrón-Valentín, Myrna C.; García-Amaya, Lorenzo – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
To probe the limits of attention raising through form-focused instruction, second-language research must adapt to the needs of a technologically driven learning environment. In this study, we used a randomized control design to investigate the effect of captioned media on the learning of vocabulary and grammar in L2 Spanish (n = 369 learners).…

Tokunaga, Miki – Journal of English Teaching, 2021
Japanese learners of English are often described as having good English grammar but lacking in fluency. However, with the changes to a more communication-focused English curriculum in the last few decades, this is no longer the norm. This paper will first review the reactions to communication-focused English instructions in Japan and other parts…

Lai, Wei; Rácz, Péter; Roberts, Gareth – Cognitive Science, 2020
How do speakers learn the social meaning of different linguistic variants, and what factors influence how likely a particular social-linguistic association is to be learned? It has been argued that the social meaning of more salient variants should be learned faster, and that learners' pre-existing experience of a variant will influence its…

Al-Jarf, Reima – Online Submission, 2022
To help ESP college instructors improve the English curriculum taught at polytechnic institutes, colleges and universities, the current study proposes a model for designing English for Polytechnic Purposes (EPP) courses for undergraduate students majoring in mechanical engineering, chemistry, technology, economics, textile industry and other…

Peters, Elke; Webb, Stuart – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2018
Research has begun to demonstrate that L2 words can be learned incidentally through watching audiovisual materials. Although there are a large number of studies that have investigated incidental vocabulary learning through reading a single text, there are no studies that have explored incidental vocabulary learning through viewing a single…

Fung, Daniel; Macaro, Ernesto – Language Teaching Research, 2021
The language learner strategies research field has often tried to identify the good language learner (GLL) by distinguishing more proficient from less proficient learners. However the notion of 'good' may be problematic without taking into account an individual's linguistic knowledge (LK). This article foregrounds LK in relation to strategy use in…

Viesel-Nordmeyer, Nurit; Schurig, Michael; Bos, Wilfried; Ritterfeld, Ute – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2019
Based on longitudinal data (n = 338) from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) competence development (mathematics and language) of three groups with different mathematical preconditions (+/- 1 SD) were compared between age 4 to 10. Groups were composed by first measurement of mathematical achievement in pre-school age (5/6 years).…

Yamashita, Taichi – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2019
The present quasi-experimental study investigated the comparative effects of metalinguistic clue (MC) and metalinguistic explanation (ME) on the accurate use of Japanese transaction expressions. The study recruited 25 learners in a second-semester Japanese course (i.e. non-introduced group) and 17 students in a fourth-semester course (i.e.…
