Direct linkGiordano, Michael J. – Language Teaching Research, 2023
In this quasi-experimental study, the effects of lexical coverage through pseudo word manipulation in dialogue comprehension are investigated. Forty-four first-year students in a Japanese university listened to five dialogues at different lexical coverage levels: 98%, 95%, 90%, 85%, and 83%. The results of the comprehension tests confirm the…

The aim of this study was to investigate how test methods affect listening test takers' performance and cognitive load. Test methods were defined and operationalized as while-listening performance (WLP) and post-listening performance (PLP) formats. To achieve the goal of the study, we examined test takers' (N = 80) brain activity patterns…

Bourdeaud'Hui, Heleen; Aesaert, Koen; van Braak, Johan – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2021
Effective listening comprehension skills are an important prerequisite for the academic success of primary school students. However, the assessment of listening skills in the instructional language appears to have received only scant attention in the literature. Therefore, the goal of the present study was twofold. Firstly, a comprehensive…

Janusik, Laura Ann; Varner, Teri – International Journal of Listening, 2022
Research in metacognitive listening strategies in first language (L[superscript 1]) listening is in its infancy. The research presented here, which is the first study in a larger research program, compares the strategies L[superscript 1] students in the US say they do in the classroom with the strategies L[superscript 2] students say they use, as…

Takehiro Iizuka – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study examined the significance of the mode of delivery--aural versus written--in second language (L2) vocabulary knowledge and L2 comprehension skills. One of the unique aspects of listening comprehension that sets it apart from reading comprehension is the mode of delivery--language input is delivered not visually but aurally. Somewhat…

de la Cruz-Pavía, Irene; Elordieta, Gorka; Villegas, Julián; Gervain, Judit; Laka, Itziar – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
In two artificial language learning experiments with four groups of highly proficient Basque-Spanish bilinguals and two groups of Spanish monolinguals, we examine the cues that allow adult listeners to parse new input into phrases. In addition, we investigate which factors lead bilinguals to switch between the segmentation strategies…

(b) Are these patterns correlated to gender, skin conductance responses, fixations on the experimenter's face, alexithymia, or social anxiety scores? Lastly,…

Joshua Matthews; Kriss Lange – CALICO Journal, 2024
Aural vocabulary knowledge (AVK) of high-frequency words is critical for second language listening comprehension. However, learners of English as a foreign language (EFL), despite considerable periods of language study, often do not have the AVK needed for basic communicative competence. A mixed methods approach is applied to determine whether…

Blair, Mackensie; Morini, Giovanna – Second Language Research, 2023
The present work examines the impact of code-switching (CS) on novel word learning in adult second language (L2) learners of Spanish. Participants completed two sessions (1-3 days apart). In the first session, they were taught 32 nonwords corresponding to novel creatures. Training occurred across 4 conditions: (1) a sentence in English only, (2) a…
