Ball, Mary-Claire; Curran, Erin; Tanoh, Fabrice; Akpé, Hermann; Nematova, Shakhlo; Jasinska, Kaja K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
In multilingual sub-Saharan African countries, many children attend school and learn to read in a language that they do not speak at home. This mismatch between home and school language may contribute to poor learning outcomes, including low literacy rates. Bilingual education that includes a local language of instruction has become more prevalent…

Wackerle-Hollman, Alisha; Durán, Lillian; Miranda, Alejandra; Chávez, Carlos; Rodriguez, Michael; Medina Morales, Norma – School Psychology Review, 2022
Multitiered systems of support hold promise for dual language learners when culturally and linguistically responsive practices guide instruction. We modeled growth on Spanish and English early literacy skills and examined the role of language exposure and use at the individual and classroom instruction level in a group of 313…

Zinszer, Benjamin D.; Hannon, Joelle; Kouadio, Aya Élise; Akpé, Hermann; Tanoh, Fabrice; Hu, Anqi; Qi, Zhenghan; Jasinska, Kaja – Language Learning, 2023
Statistical learning is a learning mechanism that does not directly depend on knowledge of a language but predicts language and literacy outcomes for children and adults. Research linking statistical learning and literacy has not addressed a common educational context in primary schools worldwide: children who first learn to read in their second…

Schaefer, Vance; Darcy, Isabelle; Abe, Linda – TESOL Journal, 2019
Stress is an integral part of conveying meaning in English at not only the level of the word but also the phrase and rhetoric where it is exploited in English in literature, humor, advertising, and more. Simultaneously, stress marks language variation in regional, generational, and ethnic dialects. Thus, stress bears a great functional load and…
