Clara Fridman; Maria Polinsky; Natalia Meir – Second Language Research, 2024
While it is known that heritage speakers diverge from the homeland baseline, there is still no consensus on the mechanisms triggering this divergence.

Sara Fernández Cuenca – Dimensions, 2024
To this day, there are only a few studies that have used a controlled instructional intervention on specific linguistic structures to investigate if language instruction is beneficial for heritage learners (HLs), in the same way it is for second (L2) language learners, and more research in this area is rapidly needed (Bowles, 2018). The results…

Prediction-based theories posit that interlocutors use prediction to process language efficiently and to coordinate dialogue. The present study evaluated whether listeners can use spatial deixis (i.e., "this," "that," "these," and "those") to predict the plurality and proximity of a speaker's upcoming…

Zaabalawi, Rafe S. – Arab World English Journal, 2021
Prepositions form a hurdle for several EFL learners, Arabs in particular. One major catalyst is that the preposition systems in English and Arabic rarely correspond to one another.

Archila, Pablo Antonio; Molina, Jorge; Truscott de Mejía, Anne-Marie – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Bilingual scientific literacy (BSL) is one of the educational domains gaining prominence in twenty-first century societies.

Recent studies indicate that the use of 'logical connectors'…
