Stephanie Hearnshaw; Elise Baker; Ron Pomper; Karla K. McGregor; Jan Edwards; Natalie Munro – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Children with phonological impairment present with pattern-based errors in their speech production. While some children have difficulties with speech perception and/or the establishment of robust underlying phonological representations, the nature of phonological impairment in children is still not well understood. Given that…

Escudero, Paola; Smit, Eline A.; Angwin, Anthony J. – Language Learning, 2023
Research has shown that novel words can be learned through the mechanism of statistical or cross-situational word learning (CSWL). So far, CSWL studies using adult populations have focused on the presentation of spoken words. However, words can also be learned through their written form. This study compared auditory and orthographic presentations…

Ellwood-Lowe, Monica E.; Foushee, Ruthe; Srinivasan, Mahesh – Developmental Science, 2022
Parents with fewer educational and economic resources (low socioeconomic-status, SES) tend to speak less to their children, with consequences for children's later life outcomes. Despite this well-established and highly popularized link, less research addresses why the SES "word gap" exists. Moreover, while research has assessed…

Muzakki Bashori; Roeland van Hout; Helmer Strik; Catia Cucchiarini – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
Speaking skills generally receive little attention in traditional English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, and this is especially the case in secondary education in Indonesia. A vocabulary deficit and poor pronunciation skills hinder learners in their efforts to improve speaking proficiency. In the present study, we investigated the effects…

Seunghee Jin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
This study introduces an innovative approach to improving speaking proficiency among Korean EFL learners through the use of vlogs, further evaluating their impact on learners' foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA) and willingness to communicate (WTC). In this semester-long experiment, 49 university students were divided into an experimental…

Iwaizumi, Emi; Webb, Stuart – Language Learning, 2023
This study explores the effects of receptive derivational affix knowledge, derivative frequency, part of speech, and vocabulary breadth on production of derivatives. Twenty-one speakers of English as a first language and 107 learners of English as a second language were asked to produce derivatives for 90 prompt words on a decontextualized…

Background/purpose: This research aimed to evaluate the impact of integrating the WSQ-based flipped learning method with cooperative learning on speaking performance among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Addressing the challenges EFL learners face in oral proficiency, the study sought to determine whether this innovative pedagogical…

Adamidou, Christina; Okalidou, Areti; Fourakis, Marios; Printza, Athanasia; Kyriafinis, Georgios – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: ?he lexical stress pattern (trochaic vs. iambic) may affect various aspects of word learning and word production in children with cochlear implants (CIs). This study aimed to investigate lexical stress effects in word learning by Greek-speaking children with CIs. Method: A word learning paradigm, consisting of a word production and a word…

Quam, Carolyn; Swingley, Daniel – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
Children are adept at learning their language's speech-sound categories, but just how these categories function in their developing lexicon has not been mapped out in detail. Here, we addressed whether, in a language-guided looking procedure, 2-year-olds would respond to a mispronunciation of the voicing of the initial consonant of a newly learned…

Jiménez, Eva; Hills, Thomas T. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The present study investigates the relation between language environment and language delay in 63 British-English speaking children (19 typical talkers (TT), 22 late talkers (LT), and 22 late bloomers (LB) aged 13 to 18 months. Families audio recorded daily routines and marked the new words their child produced over a period of 6 months. To…

Rosemberg, Celia Renata; Alam, Florenciaa; Ramirez, María Laura; Ibañez, María Ileana – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
This study examines the quantity and quality of child-directed speech across household activities in a socioeconomically diverse sample of Argentinian Spanish-speaking children, an understudied population. Thirty children (mean: 14.3 months) and their families were audio-recorded for four hours. The middle two hours were transcribed and analysed…

Horvath, Sabrina; Kueser, Justin B.; Kelly, Jaelyn; Borovsky, Arielle – Language Learning and Development, 2022
While semantic and syntactic properties of verb meaning can impact the success of verb learning at a single age, developmental changes in how these factors influence acquisition are largely unexplored. We ask whether the impact of syntactic and semantic properties on verb vocabulary development varies with age and language ability for toddlers…

Wu-Yuin Hwang; Bo-Chen Guo; Anh Hoang; Ching-Chun Chang; Nien-Tsu Wu – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
This study introduced an app, called Smart UEnglish, for helping EFL conversation practices in authentic contexts. These conversation practices were categorized into 'designed talk' and 'free talk', based on the content of an English textbook and authentic ambient environment that includes such things as transportation, weather and scenic…

Muna Abd El-Raziq; Natalia Meir; Elinor Saiegh-Haddad – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
Arabic is characterized by diglossia, which involves the use of two language varieties within a single speech community: Spoken Arabic (SpA) for everyday speech and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for formal speech and reading/writing. Earlier research suggests that some Arabic-speaking children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might favor MSA…

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…
