Jens Möller; Katrin Arens; Christoph Niepel – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2025
An expanding literature has explored the impact of second language (L2) self-concept on language achievement and motivation. This review adopts a psychological lens to examine L2 self-concept, beginning with an outline of prominent theoretical frameworks: situated expectancy-value theory; Shavelson et al.'s (1976) hierarchical, multidimensional…

Wei Yi; Yanlu Zhong – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This meta-analysis synthesized 35 English studies (130 effect sizes, N = 1,981) that employed online tasks to investigate the processing of multiword sequences (MWSs). We examined (a) to what extent MWSs enjoy a processing advantage over novel word combinations; (b) how such a processing advantage is moderated by statistical regularities (i.e.,…

Ke Yu – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Research syntheses that evaluate bilingual program effectiveness have grown exponentially since the 1980s. Contradictory to earlier anti-bilingual findings, these research syntheses, including statistical meta-analyses, have converged on findings supporting L1 teaching. This study examines the methodological soundness of eight statistical…

Andrew Schenck – Journal of Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, 2024
Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) has been extensively studied, yet past experimental results are often inconsistent or even contradictory. Overly simplistic examinations of grammatical complexity and learner characteristics (e.g., L2 English proficiency) may have fueled the confusion, limiting understanding of how different FFI techniques can be…

Hyun Soo Kim; Jang Ho Lee; Hansol Lee – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Glossing is a widely used and examined vocabulary learning tool, and one of the major branches of glossing research has compared the relative effects of first language (L1) and second language (L2) glosses on reading comprehension and vocabulary learning. However, the findings in this literature have not been consistent, calling for a…

Nakamura, Pooja; Leyew, Zelealem; Molotsky, Adria; Ranjit, Varsha; Kamto, Kevin – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2023
To address the evidence gap in making effective language of instruction (LOI) decisions, we propose a systematic review of the role of LOI choices in education programs and policies on literacy outcomes in multilingual educational contexts in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Grounded in a multidisciplinary theory of change (ToC)…

Ongoing debate exists concerning pedagogical strategies including song to improve vocabulary learning in second or foreign language learners. A search of primary empirical studies published from 1990 to 2020 produced 27 articles with 28 studies and 1864 total participants. Effect sizes were analysed for the influence of English instructional…

Lee, Jang Ho; Lee, Hansol; Lo, Yuen Yi – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
This meta-analysis synthesized the effects of the English medium instruction and content and language integrated learning (EMI-CLIL) approach on secondary-level students' English learning. The dataset included 44 samples (N = 7,434) from 38 primary studies. The results revealed EMI-CLIL's overall effectiveness for the development of English…

Lee, Hansol; Jung, Geryong; Lee, Jang Ho – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: The present study aimed to systemically summarize the structural relationships among correlated components of second language (L2) reading comprehension to investigate the extent to which the two major components -- language comprehension abilities and decoding skills -- could account for reading comprehension in L2 contexts in accordance…

Yildiz, Mine – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
This study aims at drawing a conclusion about the use of the first language (L1) in language classes on which there is still no consensus among researchers. In line with this aim, the qualitative studies involving participants' views or practices obtained through interviews or observations were analyzed and then synthesized. Firstly, two basic…

Graham, Keith M.; Eslami, Zohreh R. – Reading Psychology, 2020
This meta-analysis examines how components of the Simple View of Writing contribute to writing development for English second-language (L2) learners. Previous studies examining first-language learners suggest that transcription and ideation may predict writing achievement. In order to investigate whether these components similarly contribute to L2…

Yanagisawa, Akifumi; Webb, Stuart; Uchihara, Takumi – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
This meta-analysis investigated the overall effects of glossing on L2 vocabulary learning from reading and the influence of potential moderator variables: gloss format (type, language, mode) and text and learner characteristics. A total of 359 effect sizes from 42 studies (N = 3802) meeting the inclusion criteria were meta-analyzed. The results…

Schenck, Andrew – SAGE Open, 2021
Past experimental studies of corrective feedback (CF) have isolated factors like grammatical complexity, learner proficiency, and L1 one by one, carefully designing experiments that eliminate the influence of "extraneous" factors. Because each factor is actually codependent, more holistic study is needed. Eleven studies, all of which had…
