Nagle, Charlie L.; Huensch, Amanda; Zárate-Sández, Germán – Modern Language Journal, 2023
Although current approaches to second language (L2) pronunciation underscore that instruction should concentrate on pronunciation features that help learners be more intelligible (and not necessarily more native like), there is little empirical evidence as to what those features are, especially in languages other than English. To address this gap,…

Amy Clark – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2024
Emergent bi/multilingual children have historically been afforded few opportunities to engage dialogically with peers and teachers in posing authentic questions and co-constructing interpretations of texts as their reading instruction has traditionally been skills driven. Additionally, more recent scholarship has identified increased opportunities…

As a first step in reconciling these tensions and breaking free from apparent disciplinary…
