Nina Woll; Pierre-Luc Paquet; Isabelle Wouters – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
While studies have shown that additional language (Lx) learners build on knowledge of previously acquired languages (Ringbom 2007), the natural interaction between languages is rarely exploited in Lx classrooms. This study explores the nature of metalinguistic reflections and crosslinguistic connections during plurilingual consciousness-raising…

Zhu, Junlin – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Form-focused instruction (FFI) can improve students' language output by enhancing form accuracy (Barrot, 2014; Mansouri et al., 2019; Schenck & Baldwin, 2019; Spada, 2014), while the identity theory looks at language learning and the relationship between the language learner and the larger social world (Norton, 2013). Given issues such as…

Dietrich-Grappin, Sarah; Hufeisen, Britta – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2023
The article proposes a remodeling of Tertiary Language Didactics (TLD) against the backdrop of empirical findings from German-speaking areas and the notions of translanguaging and "compétence plurilingue." TLD as a multilingual didactics approach for the initial stages of L3 learning developed in the 1990s in the field of "German as…

Hodgson, John; Harris, Ann – English in Education, 2021
The teaching of grammar has been strongly debated for decades, often with reference to an alleged decline in the 1960s. This article takes a historical perspective on grammar, or knowledge about language, within English Education. In the eighteenth century, Adam Smith's "Lectures in Rhetoric and Belles-lettres" offered a discernibly…

McIntire, Amy Marie – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2020
Studying musical text effectively reinforces grammar structures and vocabulary taught in class while simultaneously developing cultural literacy, a critical component in second language acquisition. Musical text facilitates a multimodal learning experience as it combines the verbal and aural modes, and is often accompanied by the visual mode. In…

Marcos Miguel, Nausica – Language Learning Journal, 2022
Content-based instruction is a favoured methodology for approaching L2 language instruction. Although vocabulary development is one language area where advanced learners could grow, there is little research focusing on vocabulary instruction in content-based Spanish L2 courses at US universities. This study analyses a corpus of 25 hours of…

James M. Stratton – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The question of whether second languages (L2s) are best learned implicitly or explicitly has been a topic of much empirical discourse, with the majority of studies pointing to the benefits of explicit instruction when learning L2 grammar rules. However, given the focus on grammar, it is unclear how generalizable these findings are to other…

O'Rourke, Breffni; Stickler, Ursula – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2017
We propose a definition of synchronous communication based on joint attention, noting that in certain mediated communication settings joint attention is a matter of perception rather than determinable fact. The most salient properties of synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) are real-time pressure to communicate and a greater degree…
