Geffen, Susan; Curtin, Suzanne; Graham, Susan A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
By 12 months, English-learning infants have an awareness of the sound patterns of word forms that constitute acceptable labels for objects in their native language. In the following experiments, we replicated and extended previous findings that Canadian English-learning infants will not link function-like words with novel objects. Across three…

Elazar, Amit; Alhama, Raquel G.; Bogaerts, Louisa; Siegelman, Noam; Baus, Cristina; Frost, Ram – Cognitive Science, 2022
How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners' native language determines SL performance. We computed the frequency of co-occurrences of syllables in spoken Spanish through…

Mihaela Gazioglu; Mikel W. Cole – NABE Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Translanguaging pedagogies support multilingual students by activating prior knowledge, integrating home languages and cultures, and utilizing multimodal learning. However, as equity-oriented pedagogies, they redress long-standing practices of denying students access to their home languages or demanding a strict separation of their interwoven…

Ivar Bråten; Ymkje E. Haverkamp; Øistein Anmarkrud – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
The deep cloze test was developed by Jensen and Elbro (Read Writ Interdiscip J 35(5):1221-1237, 2022. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11145-021-10230-w) to assess reading comprehension at the level of global situational understanding. In two independent studies, we examined potential contributors to students' scores on the deep cloze reading…

Stärk, Katja; Kidd, Evan; Frost, Rebecca L. A. – Language Learning, 2023
Statistical learning, the ability to extract regularities from input (e.g., in language), is likely supported by learners' prior expectations about how component units co-occur. In this study, we investigated how adults' prior experience with sublexical regularities in their native language influences performance on an empirical language learning…

Laméris, Tim Joris; Post, Brechtje – Second Language Research, 2023
Adult second language learners often show considerable individual variability in the ease with which lexical tones are learned. It is known that factors pertaining to a learner's first language (L1; such as L1 tonal status or L1 tone type) as well as extralinguistic factors (such as musical experience and working memory) modulate tone learning…

Henriette Hogga Siljan; Camilla Gudmundsdatter Magnusson; Kirsti Klette – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
Although several studies underline the importance of a successful opening of a school lesson to spur students' interest and facilitate learning, we have limited knowledge about how openings are enacted in classrooms. This study contributes to the sparse research by asking: "What characterizes the openings of 58 reading lessons in Norwegian…

Cayado, Dave Kenneth Tayao; Chan, Ricky K. W. – Language Learning, 2023
Previous studies have shown that prior linguistic knowledge affects semantic implicit learning when stimuli are presented in the first language. We report an experiment that investigated whether such crosslinguistic influence from the first language would still emerge in the second language for semantic implicit learning of novel articles and…

Vorobeva, Polina – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2023
During the past decade, the field of family language policy has broadened its scope and turned its attention to diverse family configurations in versatile sociolinguistic contexts. The current study contributes to this endeavor by focusing on two single-parent families who live in Finland and who strive to support Russian as a family language.…

Syed Abdul Manan; Anas Hajar – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
Most recent research on language learning and identity emphasizes on investing learners' capital as affordance to affirm their identities (Darvin & Norton, 2015; Norton, 2013). Learners' capital refers to prior knowledge, home literacies/native languages. Drawing on data from English language academies from Pakistan, this study finds a…

Boone, Griet; De Wilde, Vanessa; Eyckmans, June – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This longitudinal study explored the roles of item- and learner-related variables in L2 learners' development of productive collocation knowledge (L1 = Dutch; L2 = German; NLearners= 50). Learners' form recall knowledge of 35 target collocations was measured three times over a 3-year period. The item-related variables investigated were L1-L2…

Rhodes, Sam; Moldavan, Alesia Mickle; Smithey, Montana; DePiro, Allison – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Throughout their careers in education, the authors of this article have had opportunities to listen to the stories of their students. Their students have shared experiences and the impact of these experiences on their beliefs, identities, and confidence in doing mathematics. These stories have inspired them to reflect on their own practices and…

Kevin W. H. Tai – Language and Education, 2024
Prior research in Applied Linguistics has explored how teachers mobilise diverse resources in order to make connections between the students' out-of-school knowledge and experiences and the abstract content knowledge. Nevertheless, how teachers can transcend the boundaries of disciplinary knowledge by incorporating relevant content knowledge from…

Zoeller, Emily; Briceño, Allison – Reading Teacher, 2022
When working with bilingual readers, teaching for equity means building on students' linguistic strengths. To do so, we must provide intentionally designed holistic literacy instruction that encourages students to use their full literacy and linguistic repertoire. This article describes an asset-oriented approach called "Transliteracy"…
