Schaefer, Vance; Warhol, Tamara – TESOL Journal, 2020
The field of English as an additional language (EAL) advocates using authentic materials and meeting the needs of students.

Therefore,…

Nasrullah; Rosalina, Elsa; Elyani, Eka Puteri – English Language Teaching Educational Journal, 2020
Learning a foreign language for those who have their first and second language often puts learners in imperfection mastery such as irrelevant lexical choice, and source cultural bounds language utterances.

Scott, John Hamilton Gordon – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Second language (L2) phonological acquisition involves learning novel target-language sounds, variable forms of sounds that arise in different phonological contexts, and any phonotactic constraints that govern their appearance. Interlanguage (IL) grammars must adapt to represent sounds and constraints that are novel to the native language (L1)…

Nadasdi, Terry; Vickerman, Alison – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2017
Our study examines the extent to which French immersion students use lax /?/ in the same linguistic context as native speakers of Canadian French. Our results show that the lax variant is vanishingly rare in the speech of immersion students and is used by only a small minority of individuals. This is interpreted as a limitation of French immersion…
