Riccardo Amorati – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Due to the 'global English bias' in the field of L2 motivation, many motivational constructs have been primarily investigated in relation to learners of English. One of these, international posture, has been recently found to hold some relevance to LOTE students. Despite this, no research has examined comparatively similarities and differences in…

Siepmann, Philipp; Rumlich, Dominik; Matz, Frauke; Römhild, Ricardo – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2023
CLIL programmes are firmly established in German schools. While empirical studies have provided insights into aspects such as language- and content-related achievement, motivation, and cultural learning, little is known about classroom practices and students' perceptions thereof. Using ADiBE's instruments, this mixed-method study explores how…

Marco Triulzi; Andrea DeCapua; Ina-Maria Maahs – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2025
The German government requires all migrants without sufficient German language proficiency to enroll in integration courses. Many of these migrants had few prior experiences with formal education, yet, regardless of degree of literacy in any language, they are placed in classes based on language proficiency. How well do government-approved…

Bronson Hui; Björn Rudzewitz; Detmar Meurers – Language Learning & Technology, 2023
Interactive digital tools increasingly used for language learning can provide detailed system logs (e.g., number of attempts, responses submitted), and thereby a window into the user's learning processes. To date, SLA researchers have made little use of such data to understand the relationships between learning conditions, processes, and outcomes.…

Maja Feddermann; Jürgen Baumert; Jens Möller – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
The effects of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) on students' foreign language skill development have been overestimated by previous studies, as most studies needed to have considered selection and preparation effects appropriately. We used complete survey data from a 1996-2003 cohort to investigate English skill development of N =…

This volume presents state-of-the-art research in early foreign language (L2) education in instructed contexts with a special focus on primary school (ages 5-12). Over the past two decades, early language teaching has become an important factor in both academic inquiry and education policy. Studies have attested to the value of early L2 learning…

Anne Barwasser; Karolina Urton; Turid Knaak; Matthias Grünke – Language Teaching Research, 2024
The increasing number of students with German as a second language (GL2) poses a great challenge for schools. Previous studies showed that especially young learners with a migration background are lagging behind in the acquisition of second language (L2) literacy. Experiencing problem behaviors (PB) in addition, might pose even greater challenges.…

Riccardo Amorati; Anna Quaglieri – Language Learning Journal, 2024
The instrumental motivations of learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) have been examined in detail, but there is a lack of studies exploring how they compare to those of learners of other languages (LOTEs). To address this gap, this study draws on a questionnaire (N = 312) and on semi-structured interviews (n = 20) and focuses on…

Heck, Tanja; Meurers, Detmar; Nuxoll, Florian – Research-publishing.net, 2022
Foreign language teaching achieves best learning outcomes when individual differences of learners are taken into account. While it is difficult for teachers to support internal differentiation in the classroom, digital tools can adaptively propose individual learning paths through activities so that students can practice with appropriately…
