Hailay Tesfay Gebremariam – SAGE Open, 2024
Although, written corrective feedback (hereafter referred to as CF) is applauded in many writing courses for fostering students' quality writing, its impact on grammatical accuracy in L2 students' writing remains a debated topic. Thus, this study looked into the effect of CF types on L2 students' grammatical accuracy in writing. To achieve this…

Arifi N. Waked; Hanadi Abdelsalem; Muhammad Waqar Ashraf; Maura Pilotti; Khadija El Alaoui – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
Large Language Model (LLM) Functionalities, such as Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), are a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that have the ability to produce human-like writing in response to a wide array of input. As this technology has become a staple of everyday life, many educators find themselves rapidly redefining best…

Eckstein, Grant; Chang, Ruei-Han – Written Communication, 2022
Most U.S. colleges and universities expect students to improve their writing ability by taking first-year composition (FYC) courses. In such courses, non-native English (L2) writers with diverse language backgrounds study alongside their native English (L1) speaking peers. However, it is not clear how different these populations are in terms of…

Mohamed A. Mekheimer; A. I. Fageeh – Discover Education, 2025
This study investigated the impact of information density on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) listening comprehension, testing the hypothesis that listeners prioritize message understanding in information-rich discourse over grammar-focused analysis in rhetorical discourse. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 26 EFL college students,…

Mavrou, Irini; Chao, Javier – Written Communication, 2023
This study examined whether the linguistic distance between the first (L1) and second (L2) language is a significant determinant of L2 writing skills of 292 adult immigrants from 39 different source countries, who were beginner learners of Spanish L2. Gender, age, length of residence in Spain, education level as a proxy for literacy skills in L1,…

Elin Thordardottir; Ludivine Plez – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Background: Bilingual assessment is particularly difficult in the very first period of children's second language (L2) exposure. This exploratory, longitudinal study examined L2 learning after 1 and 2 years of L2 exposure by young immigrants and how it is affected by their age at first exposure to the L2 (AoE). Method: Participants were 18…

Lee, On-Soon – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study investigates whether statistical learning ability, conceptualized as a cognitive ability to learn regularities implicitly, is a good predictor for L2 learners' online language processing performance. Native-English-speaking adults, as a control group, and native-Korean-speaking adult L2 learners of English participated. They completed:…

Reza Zabihi; Danial Erfanitabar – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2024
This study investigated the efficacy of varying degrees of written corrective feedback (WCF) explicitness on the accuracy of revised drafts and new pieces of writing among learners of different proficiency levels. A total of 130 learners of English were divided into three proficiency groups (basic, independent, and proficient users), with learners…

Kim, YouJin; Kang, Sanghee; Yun, Hyunae; Kim, Binna; Choi, Bumyong – Foreign Language Annals, 2020
Task repetition is being increasingly examined in the fields of second language acquisition and task-based language teaching, and the findings have revealed insightful theoretical and pedagogical implications for foreign language instruction. However, previous research has mainly focused on speaking tasks, and the role of different types of task…

Joshua Kloppers – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
Automated writing evaluation (AWE) software is an increasingly popular tool for English second language learners. However, research on the accuracy of such software has been both scarce and largely limited in its scope. As such, this article broadens the field of research on AWE accuracy by using a mixed design to holistically evaluate the…

Zahra Zargaran – Australian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2025
Providing feedback on EFL Learners' speaking errors has been extensively researched, with numerous studies highlighting its benefits (Van Ha, et al., 2021; Hartono, 2022). This study investigates the impact of "pending feedback", a type of feedback where students must independently discover the correct answer. This research emphasizes…

Emily Barnes; Neasa Ní Chiaráin; Ailbhe Ní Chasaide – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This paper examines the construct of bilingual phonemic awareness in Irish-English bilinguals. Though traditionally viewed as a skill or ability which transfers across languages, recent accounts have considered whether phonemic awareness has a language-specific component. This study used a cross-sectional design to examine this question. A total…

Park, Mi Sun – TESL-EJ, 2021
Previous research has documented positive effects of pre-task planning on task-based performance, commonly analyzed in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency, in an L2. However, the sources of planning have rarely been examined in the research of task-based language teaching. The present study explored EFL learners' oral performance across the…
