Helena S. Belío-Apaolaza; Natividad Hernández Muñoz – Language Teaching Research, 2024
The acquisition of communicative competence in second and foreign languages requires the incorporation of verbal and non-verbal elements. Notwithstanding, few studies have performed empirical research into the acquisition of non-verbal signs. This research studies the learning of emblematic gestures for students of Spanish in the USA using an…

Magdalena Wrembel; Ulrike Gut; Romana Kopecková; Anna Balas – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from a multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally the acquisition of rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have the same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, and…

Bingyi Liu; Keke Yu; John W. Schwieter; Peiling Sun; Ruiming Wang – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The relationship between language switching and task switching has been well studied in bilingualism literature. This study employs novel experiments involving magnitude-parity switching and transparency-orientation switching and compares the costs associated with these two types of task switching with language switching. Switching costs and the…

Isbell, Daniel R.; Lee, Junkyu – Language Learning, 2022
This study investigated L2 Korean speakers' self-assessment of speech comprehensibility and accentedness, including a conceptual replication of Trofimovich, Isaacs, Kennedy, Saito, and Crowther (2016, Experiment 1) and exploratory analyses of individual differences in self-assessment. L2 Korean speakers (N = 198) self-assessed their…

Emily Barnes; Neasa Ní Chiaráin; Ailbhe Ní Chasaide – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This paper examines the construct of bilingual phonemic awareness in Irish-English bilinguals. Though traditionally viewed as a skill or ability which transfers across languages, recent accounts have considered whether phonemic awareness has a language-specific component. This study used a cross-sectional design to examine this question. A total…

Oihana Leonet; Elizabet Arocena; Eider Saragueta – Literacy, 2025
This study investigates the use of metacognitive strategies by young emergent multilingual students in a translanguaging pedagogy scenario. From a multilingual perspective, we understand metacognition as a broader concept that refers to the learning or thinking processes that encapsulate metalinguistic and crosslinguistic awareness. We focus on…

Pantazopoulou, Evangelia-Jessica; Polychroni, Fotini; Diakogiorgi, Kleopatra; Georgiou, Vasileios L. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
In this study, we examined the accuracy and consistency of Greek-speaking children with spelling difficulties using a spelling level-matched design at two time points. Eighty-seven children were selected for inclusion in three groups: a group with spelling difficulties (SpD, n = 22 fifth graders) and two control groups, a chronological age-matched…

Ayelet Sasson; Rachel Schiff; Barak Zluf – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study assessed the effect of adjectives and noun premodifiers on L2 noun phrase comprehension and error types among English Language Learners. We also examined the correlation between L2 noun phrase comprehension and L2 reading comprehension, as well as the contribution of L2 noun phrase comprehension to L2 reading comprehension. One hundred…

Liu, Xiaoluan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
How could individual differences in processing non-speech acoustic signals influence their cue weighting strategies for L2 speech contrasts? The present study investigated this question by testing forty L1 Chinese-L2 English listeners with two tasks: one for testing the listeners' sensitivity to pitch and temporal information of non-speech…

Pastushenkov, Dmitrii; Camp, Cameron; Zhuchenko, Iryna; Pavlenko, Olesia – TESOL Journal, 2021
In this study, the researchers investigated the effects of shared and different first language (L1) background, L1 use amounts, and peer familiarity on the frequency of language-related episodes (LREs) and task scores in interactive pair work. By exploring these variables in distinct interactions, the authors attempted to obtain a more…

Miquel Llompart – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This study presents a reanalysis of existing data to investigate whether a relationship between perception and production abilities regarding a challenging second-language (L2) phonological contrast is observable (a) when both modalities must rely on accessing stored lexical representations and (b) when there is an asymmetry in task focus between…

Jiehui Hu; Xun Li; Jia Li; Wanyu Zhang; Yuxin Lan; Zhao Gao; Shan Gao – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
A growing body of research has provided evidence for the foreign language effect on thinking, notably decision-making. Our prior work found reduction of recency effect following positive feedback in a foreign language as compared to the native tongue during even-probability gambling. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying this effect…

Marie-Josée Bisson – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Research suggests new foreign language (FL) words are learned more easily if their phonology follows the phonotactic rules of the native language. Very little is known, however, about the impact of orthography on FL learning. This study investigated the cognitive mechanisms supporting the learning of words with familiar and unfamiliar…

Simone E. Pfenninger; Maria Kliesch – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This longitudinal study with time-serial data examines for the first time whether different types of intraindividual variation in second language (L2) performance and cognitive functioning are related, and how and when they influence L2 development longitudinally in older adulthood. We analyzed the L2 development of 26 German-speaking adults aged…

Xiaoluan Liu; Jixian Nie – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The present study compared bilingualism with bidialectalism in their respective impact on executive control, using a short-term language switching training paradigm for participants who were both bidialectals (Shanghainese-Mandarin Chinese) and bilinguals (Chinese-English). Twenty participants were assigned to a control group where no language…
