Scheffer, Anouk; Keij, Brigitta; Hakvoort, Britt; Ottow, Esther; Gerrits, Ellen; Wijnen, Frank – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Children with a developmental language disorder (DLD) are often delayed in their grammatical development. This is suggested to be the most important characteristic and clinical marker of DLD. However, it is unknown if this assumption is valid for young children, in the earliest stages of grammatical development. For this reason, this…

Timothy Doe – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Language learning activities involving time-pressured repetition of similar content have been shown to facilitate improvements in fluency. However, concerns have been voiced about whether these gains might be offset by reduced levels of grammatical accuracy. This descriptive study tracked the oral proficiency of 32 Japanese university students…

Prentza, Alexandra; Tafiadis, Dionysios; Chondrogianni, Vasiliki; Tsimpli, Ianthi-Maria – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
This study provides a preliminary validation of a Greek Sentence Repetition Task (SRT) with a sample of 110 monolingual and bilingual typically developing (TLD) children and examines the test's ability to distinguish between Greek monolingual children and age-matched Albanian-Greek bilinguals using a Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)…

Francois, Isabelle; Lapka, Stefanie; Berstein Ratner, Nan; Mills, Monique T. – EBP Briefs (Evidence-based Practice Briefs), 2023
Clinical Question: For young AAE speakers (P), how useful is the Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) compared with Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) in identifying developmental language disorder (DLD) in the presence of African American English (AAE)? Method: Structured Review. Study Sources: PsycInfo®, Education Source, Education Resources…

Fantu, Samson; Meyer, Ronny – First Language, 2023
This study investigates the grammatical skills of typically developing Oromo-speaking preschool-age children and lays the foundation for a language assessment tool for Oromo, a Cushitic language spoken in Ethiopia. The current study used a standard picture-based elicitation task that evaluated children's accuracy in producing grammatical…

Jonathan Serfaty; Raquel Serrano – Language Learning, 2024
This study investigated how much practice is necessary for learners to attain durable second language (L2) grammar knowledge. Using digital flashcards, 119 participants practiced translating 12 sentences into an artificial language, followed by feedback, until they had typed all sentences correctly. Participants repeated this activity in one, two,…

Gillis, Jasmine Urquhart; Gul, Asiya; Fox, Annie; Parikh, Aditi; Arbel, Yael – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate implicit learning in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) by employing a visual artificial grammar learning task. Method: Thirteen children with DLD and 24 children with typical language development between the ages of 8 and 12 years completed a visual artificial grammar learning…

Zahra Zargaran – Australian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2025
Providing feedback on EFL Learners' speaking errors has been extensively researched, with numerous studies highlighting its benefits (Van Ha, et al., 2021; Hartono, 2022). This study investigates the impact of "pending feedback", a type of feedback where students must independently discover the correct answer. This research emphasizes…

Godfroid, Aline; Kim, Kathy MinHye – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study addresses the role of domain-general mechanisms in second-language learning and knowledge using an individual differences approach. We examine the predictive validity of implicit-statistical learning aptitude for implicit second-language knowledge. Participants (n = 131) completed a battery of four aptitude measures and nine grammar…

Chatchanok Chanyeam; Nuntana Wongthai – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2025
The linguistic relativity hypothesis has focused on the influence of grammar in language on speakers' cognition. Previous studies show that speakers of languages with grammatical number (e.g., English) are more aware of the number of objects. Additionally, recent studies reveal that bilinguals who speak languages with different grammatical…

Hamid Allami; Boshra Najari; Zia Tajeddin – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2025
This study explores the impact of sociocultural theory-based instruction on enhancing L2 learners' writing skills including grammatical accuracy, coherence, cohesion, task response, and lexical resources for the IELTS. To this end, a cohort of 40 participants, spanning intermediate and advanced proficiency levels, was divided into experimental and…

Fields, R. Stacy; Elleman, Amy M.; Oslund, Eric L.; Clark, Laura B.; Olson, Collin – Reading Psychology, 2023
Writing is a skill that has increased in significance for both researchers and classroom teachers due to changes in recent standards. Currently, many high school English Learners (ELs) are struggling to master this priority skill. A strategy that has been shown to be effective for adolescent writers is Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD).…

Kim, Susie – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Recent research in the areas of second language testing and learner corpus research has provided increased insight into linguistic features of various score levels and into the meaning of a test score (Cushing, 2017; Knoch & Chapelle, 2018). However, language testing researchers have asserted the need to select linguistic features that are…

David Abugaber – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Learning new languages is a complex task involving both explicit and implicit processes (i.e., that do/do not involve awareness). Understanding how these processes interact is essential to a full account of second language (L2) learning, but accounts vary as to whether explicit processes help (e.g., DeKeyser, 2007), hinder (e.g., Ellis &…

Chia-Hsuan Liao; Ellen Lau – Second Language Research, 2024
Event concepts of common verbs (e.g. "eat," "sleep") can be broadly shared across languages, but a given language's rules for subcategorization are largely arbitrary and vary substantially across languages. When subcategorization information does not match between first language (L1) and second language (L2), how does this…
