Gursen Sisman; Dilara Demirbulak; Ayse Yilmaz Virlan – European Journal of Education, 2025
This descriptive study aimed to investigate neuromyth prevalence among English language teachers. Data were collected through a digital questionnaire administered to 114 English teachers in Istanbul, Turkey, with the mediation of the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). Most participants were female secondary school teachers working at public…

Karen Roehr-Brackin; Karolina Baranowska; Renato Pavlekovic; Pawel Scheffler – Modern Language Journal, 2024
Aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) research is of both theoretical and practical interest to second language (L2) learning, since it provides insights into the processes linking learner-internal individual difference factors and learner-external contextual variables including instructional approach--variables that jointly determine L2 outcomes.…

Roehr-Brackin, Karen; Gánem-Gutiérrez, Gabriela Adela; Olivera-Smith, Lexa; Torres-Marín, María Teresa – Language Awareness, 2021
Research suggests that individual differences in additional language learning may play a more important role in taxing situations when learners are confronted with unfamiliar or difficult tasks. However, studies to date have mostly focused on second language (L2) learners/bilinguals, while individual differences within multilingual populations…

Pawlak, Miroslaw – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
Research into the role of individual difference (ID) factors in the process of second and foreign language (L2) learning and teaching has been one of the most robust lines of inquiry in the field of second language acquisition (SLA; Dörnyei & Ryan, 2015; Griffiths & Soruç, 2020; Pawlak & Kruk, 2022). Most of these empirical…

Zhang, Jiayi; Beckmann, Nadin; Beckmann, Jens F. – Language Teaching Research, 2023
Chinese students are frequently seen as passive learners because of their apparent reluctance to speak, particularly in English classrooms. However, this impression seems to reflect a stereotype which is likely to confound willingness to communicate (WTC) and communication behaviour. In this article we argue for more attention to be paid to…

Ünsal, Gülhanim – Online Submission, 2018
The purpose of this study, which examines learning styles in foreign language teaching, is to determine the learning style/styles predominantly possessed by French learners, and to identify the methods, techniques, materials and activities that can be applied to effective learning and teaching considering individual differences. By Dunn &…

Kam, Emily Fen; Liu, Yeu-Ting; Tseng, Wen-Ta – ReCALL, 2020
Captioned video is widely used to enhance second language (L2) learners' exposure to oral input beyond the classroom setting, and captioning has been found to provide an instantaneous, useful visual aid for parsing and understanding L2 oral discourse. Nevertheless, a meta-analysis has shown that captioning exerts a selective effect on L2 learners…

Dali, Ning – English Language Teaching, 2018
This study, adopting a longitudinal approach, traces the dynamic word knowledge development of two essential dimensions (meaning and collocation) both receptively and productively in Chinese context. Seven freshmen students (from the same class in a university in Guangzhou) of different language levels were selected to be observed of their English…

Gurzynski-Weiss, Laura, Ed. – Language Learning & Language Teaching, 2020
This book examines the role of interlocutors and their individual differences (IDs) in second language (L2) development from four theoretical lenses: the cognitive-interactionist approach, sociocultural theory, the variationist approach, and complex dynamic systems theory. A theoretical overview to each approach is written by a preeminent scholar…

Sulaiman, Suriati; Sulaiman, Tajularipin – International Education Studies, 2010
Learners differ from each other in many ways particularly in cognitive abilities. These factors eventually affect their learning abilities. Thus teachers should look into learner differences in intelligence before designing a teaching and learning program for them. Gardner proposed a much broader view of the definition of intelligence than a…

Yang, Hui-Yu – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2014
The present study examines how display model, English proficiency and cognitive preference affect English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' listening comprehension of authentic videos and cognitive load degree. EFL learners were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group received single coding and the experimental group received…

Khademi, Marzieh; Motallebzadeh, Khalil; Ashraf, Hamid – English Language Teaching, 2013
Many variables reasonably influence teachers' education. One of these considering variables is being aware of the students' learning styles. Dörnyei (2005) maintains that individual differences correlate strongly with L2 achievements. Keefe (1979) believes that learning styles might be thought of as cognitive, affective, and physiological traits…

Shen, Ming-yueh – System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, 2010
The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of perceptual learning style preferences on L2 lexical inferencing and whether learners with certain perceptual learning styles benefited more from an explicitly instructional program. Joy Reid's (1995) Perceptual Learning Style Preferences (PLSP) Inventory and a lexical inferencing test…

Chapelle, Carol A.; Heift, Trude – CALICO Journal, 2009
In Spring semester 2006, we conducted a study with 50 learners of German to investigate the use of a new measure (Cardenas-Claros, 2005) for research on the field independent/dependent (FID) cognitive style and CALL use. After the measure was administered, students worked on a CALL program for German that logs interaction. This paper reports the…

Abdallah, Mahmoud Mohammad Sayed – Online Submission, 2008
This article describes Gardener's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI Theory) that was originated in 1983 in his most celebrated book, Frames of Mind. This theory has revolutionised the idea of intelligence providing evidence on the existence of more than one intelligence (i.e. at least seven). The article sheds some light on the history of MI…
