Dynamic Interplay between Practice Type and Practice Schedule in a Second Language: The Potential and Limits of Skill Transfer and Practice Schedule
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Suzuki, Yuichi; Sunada, Midori – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
To investigate the skill transfer and the effects of practice schedules in the learning of second language syntax, 129 intermediate-level English learners were divided into six groups, based on practice format (input vs. output practice) and practice schedule (blocked vs. interleaved vs. hybrid [blocked + interleaved]). Analyses revealed that the…

This paper reports results from two studies conducted to examine word learning among preschool children in group book reading while we developed a scalable method of teaching words during book reading. We sought to identify factors that fostered both depth and breadth of learning by varying the type of information children heard about words while…

The Role of Background Knowledge in Text Comprehension for Children Learning English as an Additional Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Burgoyne, Kelly; Whiteley, Helen E.; Hutchinson, Jane M. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2013
Children learning English as an additional language (EAL) often experience difficulties with reading comprehension relative to their monolingual peers. While low levels of vocabulary appear to be one factor underlying these difficulties, other factors such as a relative lack of appropriate background knowledge may also contribute. Sixteen children…

Activation of Background Knowledge for Inference Making: Effects on Reading Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Elbro, Carsten; Buch-Iversen, Ida – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2013
Failure to "activate" relevant, existing background knowledge may be a cause of poor reading comprehension. This failure may cause particular problems with inferences that depend heavily on prior knowledge. Conversely, teaching how to use background knowledge in the context of gap-filling inferences could improve reading comprehension in…
