Mark Feng Teng; Yachong Cui – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: Vocabulary knowledge (VK) and morphological awareness (MA) are crucial linguistic variables for reading comprehension. However, the extent to which MA subskills are intertwined with different facets of VK in their contributions to reading comprehensions, and how MA influences the reading abilities of English as a foreign language (EFL)…

Zhang, Haiwei; Roberts, Leah – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
The importance of phonological awareness (PA) for the acquisition of literacy skills has been widely recognized. Across languages, PA is commonly examined using the Oddity test, however, for Chinese-speaking children, Pinyin invented spelling is recommended as being a more powerful tool to assess PA. However, it is still unclear whether this holds…

Grey, Brittany; Deutchki, Elizabeth K.; Lund, Emily A.; Werfel, Krystal L. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2022
This study compared preschool spoken language outcomes for children with hearing loss who met the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) guidelines to those who did not, as well as compared outcomes for those who met the current EHDI guidelines to those who met the earlier benchmarks. Finally, the predictive role of meeting each component…

Reza Zabihi; Shiva Ghominejad; Mohammad Javad Ahmadian – Language Teaching Research, 2024
This study aimed to investigate whether and how willingness to communicate, communication in English anxiety, behavioural inhibition and action predict perceived second language (L2) fluency. The study also looked at whether L2 proficiency moderates the strength of relationships between these affective factors and L2 perceived fluency. One hundred…

Jeffrey Stewart; Henrik Gyllstad; Christopher Nicklin; Stuart McLean – Language Testing, 2024
The purpose of this paper is to (a) establish whether meaning recall and meaning recognition item formats test psychometrically distinct constructs of vocabulary knowledge which measure separate skills, and, if so, (b) determine whether each construct possesses unique properties predictive of L2 reading proficiency. Factor analyses and…

Tibbits, Nicole; Lancaster, Hope Sparks; de Diego-Lázaroc, Beatriz – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: This study examined the effect of phonological overlap on English and Spanish expressive vocabulary accuracy as measured by the bilingual Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test--Fourth Edition (EOWPVT-IV). We hypothesized that if languages interact during an expressive vocabulary task, then higher phonological overlap will predict…

Sonbul, Suhad; El-Dakhs, Dina Abdel Salam; Masrai, Ahmed – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Recent studies suggest that developing L2 receptive knowledge of single words is associated with increased receptive knowledge of collocations. However, no study to date has directly examined the interrelationship between productive word knowledge and productive collocation knowledge. To address this gap, the present study administered a…

Eun-Young Choi; Jang Ho Lee – Oxford Review of Education, 2024
In line with increasing attention being paid to the role of positive emotions in second language (L2) proficiency and knowledge, this study set out to examine the relationships between domain-specific emotions (L2 grit, language learning curiosity, foreign language enjoyment, and foreign language classroom anxiety) and L2 vocabulary knowledge. To…
