Direct linkXiuhong Tong; Liyan Yu; S. Hélène Deacon – Review of Educational Research, 2025
Theories of reading comprehension have widely predicted a role for syntactic skills, or the ability to understand and manipulate the structure of a sentence. Yet, these theories are based primarily on English, leaving open the question of whether this remains true across typologically different languages such as English versus Chinese. There are…

Wei Yi; Yanlu Zhong – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This meta-analysis synthesized 35 English studies (130 effect sizes, N = 1,981) that employed online tasks to investigate the processing of multiword sequences (MWSs). We examined (a) to what extent MWSs enjoy a processing advantage over novel word combinations; (b) how such a processing advantage is moderated by statistical regularities (i.e.,…

Lindstromberg, Seth – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
It is important to be able to identify research results likely to have been arrived at by means of "'p'-hacking," a common term for research and reporting practices (such as the selective reporting of results) that are biased toward finding "p" < [alpha]. This paper discusses and demonstrates "'p'-curving," a means…

Ke Yu – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Research syntheses that evaluate bilingual program effectiveness have grown exponentially since the 1980s. Contradictory to earlier anti-bilingual findings, these research syntheses, including statistical meta-analyses, have converged on findings supporting L1 teaching. This study examines the methodological soundness of eight statistical…

Bose, Priyanka; Gao, Xuesong; Starfield, Sue; Sun, Shuting; Ramdani, Junjun Muhamad – Language Policy, 2023
Family language policy (FLP) is increasingly recognised as a distinct domain of language policy concerned with the family as an arena of language policy formulation and implementation. While FLP is a relatively new research area, its conceptualisation of family and language practice requires re-examination due to social changes and technological…

This meta-synthesis study aims to reveal the types of bilingualism in Turkey by interpreting the quantitative data and findings obtained from studies on bilingualism types. In the light of the findings, 28 types of bilingualism and 5 classification criteria have been identified in the theses written on bilingualism in the "Turkish Higher…

Andrew Schenck – Journal of Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, 2024
Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) has been extensively studied, yet past experimental results are often inconsistent or even contradictory. Overly simplistic examinations of grammatical complexity and learner characteristics (e.g., L2 English proficiency) may have fueled the confusion, limiting understanding of how different FFI techniques can be…

Murphy Odo, Dennis – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2022
Ongoing debate exists concerning pedagogical strategies including song to improve vocabulary learning in second or foreign language learners. A search of primary empirical studies published from 1990 to 2020 produced 27 articles with 28 studies and 1864 total participants. Effect sizes were analysed for the influence of English instructional…

Ke, Sihui; Miller, Ryan T.; Zhang, Dongbo; Koda, Keiko – Language Learning, 2021
This study examined the crosslinguistic sharing of morphological awareness (MA) in biliteracy development. The analysis included 34 correlational studies with 41 independent samples (N = 4,104). Correlational coefficients were meta-analyzed, yielding four main findings: (a) the correlation between first language (L1) and second language (L2) MA…

Lee, Hansol; Jung, Geryong; Lee, Jang Ho – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The present study aimed to systemically summarize the structural relationships among correlated components of second language (L2) reading comprehension to investigate the extent to which the two major components -- language comprehension abilities and decoding skills -- could account for reading comprehension in L2 contexts in accordance…

Nozomi Tanaka; Elaine Lau; Alan L. F. Lee – First Language, 2024
Subject relative clauses (RCs) have been shown to be acquired earlier, comprehended more accurately, and produced more easily than object RCs by children. While this subject preference is often claimed to be a universal tendency, it has largely been investigated piecemeal and with low-powered experiments. To address these issues, this…
