Verbal morphology has been identified as a particularly vulnerable domain for adult heritage speakers (HSs) of Spanish, especially when it involves the selection of subjunctive mood. A minimal amount is known, however, about the potential effects of the variability associated with these forms on the acquisition of related epiphenomena, such as the…

Lu, Xiaofei,; Wu, Jifeng – Modern Language Journal, 2022
This study proposed a set of measures for assessing noun phrase (NP) complexity in second language (L2) Chinese writing and compared the predictive power of these measures for L2 Chinese writing quality to that of a set of syntactic complexity measures based on the topic-comment unit (TC-unit). Our data consisted of 101 narratives written by…

Zaltz, Yael; Segal, Osnat – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
The acquisition of a second language (L2) may be challenging in adulthood, as the phonological system of the native language (L1) can sometimes limit the perception of phonological contrasts in L2. The present study aimed to (a) examine the influence of an L1 (Hebrew) that lacks a phonemic contrast for vowel length on the ability to discriminate…

Dang, Xixi; Yang, Chunliang; Che, Mengying; Chen, Yinghe; Yu, Xiao – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Testing of previously studied information potentiates subsequent learning of new information, a phenomenon referred to as the "forward testing effect" (FTE). The current study aimed to investigate the developmental trajectory of the FTE and whether the reset-of-encoding process contributes to the FTE. Younger children, older children,…

Zhang, Haoruo; Wang, Yi; Vanek, Norbert – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Previous experimental work shows that negation processing can be direct in bipolar contexts where positive/negative states of affairs can be expressed by available lexical opposites (remember/forget) in monolingual speakers. However, in a unipolar context where such opposites are not available (sing/not sing), the processing first proceeds through…

Cecilia Jarquin Tapia; Sarah Surrain; Stephanie M. Curenton – Reading Teacher, 2022
This article presents a case study of a dual-language learner (DLL) preschooler in three classroom conversations: whole group, small DLL group, and a teacher-child dyadic conversation. By comparing the student's interactions across three contexts, the authors show how dyadic conversations between teachers and students can foster the oral language…

Saito, Kazuya; Macmillan, Konstantinos; Kachlicka, Magdalena; Kunihara, Takuya; Minematsu, Nobuaki – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Whereas many scholars have emphasized the relative importance of "comprehensibility" as an ecologically valid goal for L2 speech training, testing, and development, eliciting listeners' judgments is time-consuming. Following calls for research on more efficient L2 speech rating methods in applied linguistics, and growing attention toward…

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.…

Liu, Pei-Lin; Chen, Chiu-Jung – Educational Technology & Society, 2023
This study aimed to examine the effects of an AI-based object detection translation (AI-based ODT) application (app) on EFL students' vocabulary learning. We developed a system that utilized strategies to facilitate learners' vocabulary learning. The app applied dual code theory to present the objects in picture, word, and pronunciation formats.…

Ivory Tower or Tower of Babel? The Challenge of Multilingualism for the Globally Embedded University
Mizrahi-Shtelman, Ravit; Drori, Gili S. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
Higher education organizations in countries where English is not the native tongue must function in a multilingual mode, using English as their primary language for scientific exchange and academic publication and relying on the native language for instruction and administration. When operating in a multilingual mode of communication and identity…

Almudena Fernández-Fontecha; James Ryan – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
This study seeks to delve into the potential role of divergent thinking, a component of creativity, in second language learning. Specifically, we compare the use of lexical organization and production strategies of two groups of more and less creative EFL learners in year 12 through an automatic vectorial semantic analysis of their retrieval in…

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…

This article presents the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project that offers data on English reading and listening comprehension from 7,338 university-level advanced learners and native speakers of English representing 19 countries. The database also includes estimates of reading rate and seven component skills of English, including vocabulary,…

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…
