Kempe, Vera; Brooks, Patricia J. – Language Learning, 2008
This study explored learning and generalization of parts of the Russian case-marking paradigm, an inflecting-fusional system in which affixes simultaneously mark several grammatical features (case, gender, number, animacy). In Experiment 1, adult English speakers (N = 43) were exposed to nouns with transparent gender marking in the nominative case…

McDonough, Kim – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2006
Interaction research about the role of language production in second language (L2) development has focused largely on modified output, specifically learners' responses to negative feedback (Iwashita, 2001; Loewen & Philp, in press; Mackey & Philp, 1998; McDonough, 2005; McDonough & Mackey, in press; Nobuyoshi & Ellis, 1993; Pica, 1988; Shehadeh,…

Kabak, Baris; Idsardi, William J. – Language and Speech, 2007
We present the results from an experiment that tests the perception of English consonantal sequences by Korean speakers and we confirm that perceptual epenthesis in a second language (L2) arises from syllable structure restrictions of the first language (L1), rather than linear co-occurrence restrictions. Our study replicates and extends Dupoux,…

Ochsner, Robert – Language Learning, 1979
Argues for a dual approach to the study of second language acquisition, incorporating a nomothetic and a hermeneutic mode of inquiry. (Author/AM)

Willerman, Benne; Melvin, Bernice – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1979
Discusses various experiments involving the teaching of vocabulary through the use of mnemonics, and describes an experiment which sought to test the effectiveness of the mnemonic method in acquiring writing skills in the foreign vocabulary. (AM)

Kunihira, Shirou
Phonetic symbolism implies that there are intrinsic relationships between sounds employed in words and the meanings of the words. Research in phonetic symbolism and how it operates has implications for foreign language learning. Such research seeks to determine whether one's capacity for correctly guessing the meanings of words in another language…

Smith, W. Flint; Littlefield, Lael – 1967
An experiment involving two groups of 193 beginning secondary school students of French, German, and Spanish considers the instructional value of the electronic classroom as an alternative to the conventional language laboratory for the presentation of exercise materials. Experimental design hypotheses state that since more practice is possible…

Lado, Robert; And Others – 1971
The experiments discussed in this report are designed to explore the relationship between language and thought and implications for foreign language learning. Three basic issues are considered: whether or not thought and language are sufficiently distinct to require separate attention and planning as distinct factors in language teaching; the role…

Canto-Knoerr, Helene – Francais dans le Monde, 1992
A discussion of intonation instruction in second-language teaching looks at the role, objectives, and scope of such instruction; the tools teachers need to accomplish it (background in theory, practical guidelines, a method, appropriate research, and equipment); and the need for and possible design of related software.

Hammerly, Hector – 1969
An analysis of the interrelationship of speaking and reading skills in second language acquisition is the object of an experiment described in this article. The hypothesis tested suggests that written stimuli have a negative influence on the formation of speech habits of beginning students. Objectives, methods, and subject and data selection are…

Shawl, James Robert – 1969
An operational definition of the standard for learner achievement at Level 2, with respect to the skills of reading and writing, was proposed for Spanish as one aspect of a research project. The method described, serving as the basis for articulation of level achievement, deals with general procedures, proposed operational definition of reading…
