Pengchong Zhang; Shi Zhang – Language Learning & Technology, 2025
Multimodal input can significantly support second language (L2) vocabulary learning and comprehension. However, very little research has examined how L2 learners, especially young learners, allocate attention when exposed to such input and whether learning from multimodal input can be explained by attention allocation. This study therefore…

Olga Gould-Yakovleva – Online Submission, 2023
This IRB-approved qualitative case study was grounded in Vygotsky's (1978; 1987) socio-cultural constructivism theory and New London Group (1996) postulates of multiliteracies. The participants in this project were 12 domestic and international polylingual English as an Additional Language students at a public university in one of the…

Harrison, Jonathan – English Language Teaching Educational Journal, 2022
Research seems to show that captions and subtitles are generally beneficial to learners of English as an Additional Language (EAL), but some research does contradict this. Research on slideware and slide design seems to focus more on attractiveness of slides and less on educational effectiveness. However, research on slide design and specific…

Carmen Muñoz; Anastasia Pattemore; Daniela Avello – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
Repeated viewing of the same video is a common strategy among autonomous language learners as well as a much used pedagogical strategy among foreign language (FL) teachers. Learners may watch the same video more than once, to increase global comprehension of the target language or to focus their attention on linguistic aspects, such as new…

Marefat, Fahimeh; Hassanzadeh, Mohammad – Language Learning & Technology, 2016
Since its inception, form-focused instruction (FFI) has been associated with grammar, with only a handful of studies examining its potential for vocabulary development (e.g., Laufer, 2006). Meanwhile, there has been an unresolved dispute between the two approaches of Focus on Form (FonF) and Focus on Forms (FonFs) in terms of their degree of…

Saeedi, Zari; Biri, Aso – Teaching English with Technology, 2016
Building upon previous research into the effectiveness of using videos for language teaching purposes, this study utilized an English animated situation comedy (sitcom) as an authentic type of multimedia to teach a particular grammatical structure, namely conditional sentences. This study also aimed at investigating the learners' attitudes toward…

Perez, Maribel Montero; Peters, Elke; Clarebout, Geraldine; Desmet, Piet – Language Learning & Technology, 2014
This study examines how three captioning types (i.e., on-screen text in the same language as the video) can assist L2 learners in the incidental acquisition of target vocabulary words and in the comprehension of L2 video. A sample of 133 Flemish undergraduate students watched three French clips twice. The control group (n = 32) watched the clips…

Johanson, Megan; Justice, Laura M.; Logan, Jessica – Applied Developmental Science, 2016
Many preschool language-focused interventions attempt to boost language and literacy skills in young children at risk in these areas of development, though the long-term effects of such interventions are not well-established. This study investigated kindergarten language and reading skills, specifically the subcomponents of vocabulary, decoding,…

Irvine-Niakaris, Christine; Kiely, Richard – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2015
This article examines the pedagogical content knowledge which underpins the practices in reading lessons of experienced teachers in test preparation classes. It takes as a starting point the assumption that practice is shaped by teacher cognitions, which are established through professional training and classroom experience. Thus, the study…

Mohsen, Mohammed Ali – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
One of the main issues in language learning is to find ways to enable learners to interact with the language input in an involved task. Given that computer-based simulation allows learners to interact with visual modes, this article examines how the interaction of students with an online video simulation affects their second language video…

Tahmasebi, Soheila; Yamini, Morteza – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2011
In Sociocultural Theory, mediations in second language learning include (1) mediation by others (2) mediation by self (3) and mediation by artifacts, which incorporates brilliant insights for EFL contexts (Lantolf, 2000). Putting these ideas in a task-based method, the present study aimed at examining the contribution of scaffolding and private…
