Shum, Kathy Kar-man; Au, Terry Kit-fong; Romo, Laura F.; Jun, Sun-Ah – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Do learners of a second language (L2) need frequent contact with native speakers of that language in order to master its phonology? What if they hear audio recordings of native speakers and receive immediate corrective feedback about their perception? We used a randomized controlled experiment with 135 Chinese speakers (with English as their L2)…

Kourtali, Nektaria-Efstathia; Révész, Andrea – Language Learning, 2020
This study investigated the effects of task complexity on child learners' second language (L2) gains, the relationship between aptitude and L2 development, and the extent to which task complexity influences this relationship when recasts are provided. Sixty child EFL learners were assigned to two experimental groups. During the treatment, one…

Tessier, Anne-Michelle; Duncan, Tamara Sorenson; Paradis, Johanne – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2013
This study focuses on English onset cluster production in spontaneous speech samples of 10 children aged 5;04-6;09 from Chinese and Hindi/Punjabi first language (L1) backgrounds, each with less than a year of exposure to English. The results suggest commonalities between early second language (L2) learners and both monolingual and adult L2…

Oliver, Rhonda; Grote, Ellen – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2010
The role of conversational interaction in second language research has increasingly been seen as playing a facilitative role in second language learning. As such there have been a number of studies focussing on different types of interaction, including feedback such as recasts, and their potential role in second language learning. In this study,…

Thurston, Allen; Duran, David; Cunningham, Erika; Blanch, Silvia; Topping, Keith – Computers & Education, 2009
The paper reports data from an on-line peer tutoring project. In the project 78, 9-12-year-old students from Scotland and Catalonia peer tutored each other in English and Spanish via a managed on-line environment. Significant gains in first language (Catalonian pupils) modern language (Scottish pupils) and attitudes towards modern languages (both…
