Gondra, Ager – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The Interface Hypothesis proposes that the pragmatic-discursive interface with syntax is more vulnerable to crosslinguistic influence than the syntactic-semantic interface [Tsimpli, Ianthi, and Antonella Sorace. 2006. "Differentiating Interfaces: L2 Performance in Syntax- Semantics and Syntax-Discourse Phenomena." In Proceedings of the…

Chanikarn Thatchatham; Nattama Pongpairoj – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2025
This study investigated how input frequency (i.e., type frequency and token frequency) and proficiency levels enhanced the perception of English nominal suffixes by first language (L1) Thai learners. Based on the Usage-based Account (Tomasello, 2003), it was hypothesized that input frequency, i.e., token frequency (frequency of derived forms…

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…

Haruka Sophia Iwao; Sally Andrews; Aaron Veldre – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Evidence of sensitivity to graphotactic and morphological patterns in English spelling has been extensively examined in monolinguals. Comparatively few studies have examined bilinguals' sensitivity to spelling regularities. The present study compared late Chinese-English bilinguals and English monolinguals on their sensitivity to systematic…

Besma Allagui; Shamma Al Naqbi – TESL-EJ, 2024
Vocabulary knowledge plays an important role in writing. Previous research has examined the relationship between various aspects of vocabulary knowledge and independent writing performance and limited attention has been given to integrated writing such as summary writing. Our study investigated the contribution of two aspects of vocabulary…

Taegang Lee; Yoonhyoung Lee; Sungmook Choi – Language Learning & Technology, 2025
Empirical evidence remains sparse about how videos enhanced with first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) subtitles influence cognitive load in L2 learners. To address this point, 25 Korean undergraduate students were exposed to six short videos: baseline, L1-subtitled, and L2-subtitled videos at both high and low difficulty levels (determined…

Angélica Ribeiro – Journal of Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, 2024
Communication strategies interlocutors use to avoid or resolve potential problems in face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated interactions can facilitate English learners' second language acquisition (SLA) (Smith, 2003). Such strategies are beneficial because they encourage English learners to practice the second language (L2), learn vocabulary,…

Weiyi Li; Jookyoung Jung – Language Awareness, 2024
The present study investigated how Cantonese speakers learning English as a second language (L2) would comprehend English irony and whether their L2 proficiency and use would moderate their irony processing. Thirty Cantonese speakers with differing English proficiency (intermediate vs advanced) were asked to complete an irony comprehension task in…

The Role of English in South African Multilinguals' Linguistic Repertoires: A Cluster-Analytic Study
Robyn Berghoff – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
A substantial body of research has examined the role of English in South Africans' linguistic repertoires. Many of these studies have investigated whether a language shift towards English might be underway among first-language (L1) speakers of the indigenous languages. At the same time, the role of English in the repertoires of L1 English speakers…

Kevin McManus – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
This study revisits and extends McManus and Marsden (2019a) to better understand "how" and "why" providing additional explicit information (EI) about learners' first language (L1) alongside EI and comprehension practice in the second language (L2) improved the accuracy, speed, and stability of L2 comprehension of the French…

Iwaizumi, Emi; Webb, Stuart – TESOL Journal, 2021
Research has indicated that first language (L1) English speakers acquire derivational knowledge--the ability to understand and produce derived forms of a word--through increased exposure to the language (e.g., Anglin, 1993). Second language (L2) research has shown that L2 English learners tend to have limited productive derivational knowledge in…

Kim, Nayoung – Language Teaching Research, 2023
This study investigated the optimum task sequence for second language (L2) novice learners of English. One set of task sequences was manipulated using a deductive and theoretical SSARC (simplify-stabilize-automatize-restructure-complexify) model, and two sets of task sequences were manipulated based on a teacher's inductive classroom observations.…

Abdulaziz Alarifi; Benjamin V. Tucker – Second Language Research, 2024
This study investigated the role of orthographic information in the acquisition of non-native speech sounds by monolingual English listeners. Two potentially important orthographic variables were explored: Orthographic compatibility (whether the orthographic information supports or contradicts the distributional information) and orthographic…
