Elouise Botes; Jean-Marc Dewaele; Samuel Greiff; Thomas Goetz – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
Personality has been identified as a possible antecedent to emotions experienced in the foreign language (FL) classroom. However, contrasting results and differing personality models have resulted in ambiguous findings. This study set out to delve deeper into the role of personality as a predictor of FL emotions through a series of increasingly…

Alberth – International Journal of Emotional Education, 2022
Whereas the role of anxiety and enjoyment in predicting learning outcomes is well documented in the literature, the role of these two emotion dimensions in predicting perceived sense of classroom community is rarely discussed in the literature despite the fact that classroom community serves as a good predictor of learning outcomes. Conducted in a…

Zorlu, Sinan; Ünver, Gülsen – Turkish Journal of Education, 2022
The self-regulation and self-efficacy beliefs have a major effect on English language learning achievement. This study examines if self-regulatory learning strategies and English self-efficacy beliefs significantly predicted learning achievement in learning English. 542 ninth grade students studying at ten different Vocational and Technical…

Hoesny, Mariana Ulfah; Setyosari, Punaji; Praherdhiono, Henry; Suryati, Nunung – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
Self-efficacy in language learning have been attracting interest recently. The construct is said to be a reliable predictor of language performance. This study is aimed at explaining the relationship of self-efficacy and speaking proficiency of male and females. It was administered to investigate whether self-efficacy correlates to speaking…

Gabriele, Alison – Second Language Research, 2021
This commentary discusses Westergaard's (2021) keynote article, which presents a comprehensive model of first language (L1), second language (L2), and third language (L3) acquisition. The commentary presents evidence from a previous study of L3 learners that provides support for Westergaard's property-by-property transfer proposal. The commentary…

Sak, Mehmet – Foreign Language Annals, 2021
Recent years have seen a growing research interest in the notion of directed motivational currents (DMCs) that defines highly intense motivational surges oriented to a much-desired goal of personal significance. However, the learner characteristics that induce individual-level variability in DMCs have yet to be explored. In particular, the role of…

Torabi, Saeede – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2020
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-actualization (SA) and speaking skill, creativity (C) and speaking skill, and also the interaction of both creativity and self-actualization and speaking skill to find out which of the two variables of SA or C can better predict speaking skill of the intermediate EFL learners. In…

Yuichiro Kobayashi – Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 2021
This study aimed to identify second language (L2) developmental indices while controlling for the effects of first language (L1). More specifically, this study investigated the differences in the use of metadiscourse markers among learners from different L1 backgrounds. The following research questions were explored: (1) Which metadiscourse…

Kang, Okim; Thomson, Ron I.; Moran, Meghan – Language Learning, 2018
This study compared five research-based intelligibility measures as they were applied to six varieties of English. The objective was to determine which approach to measuring intelligibility would be most reliable for predicting listener comprehension, as measured through a listening comprehension test similar to the Test of English as a Foreign…

Song, Shuxian; Li, Dechao – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
Cognitive factors have been recognised as important in the interpreting process, but whether they could serve as valid components of interpreting aptitude still awaits further investigation. This study explores the predictive value of cognitive fluency in the simultaneous interpreting (SI) performance of trainee interpreters. Cognitive fluency…

Swingley, Daniel; Humphrey, Colman – Child Development, 2018
To evaluate which features of spoken language aid infant word learning, a corpus of infant-directed speech (M. R. Brent & J. M. Siskind, 2001) was characterized on several linguistic dimensions and statistically related to the infants' vocabulary outcomes word by word. Comprehension (at 12 and 15 months) and production (15 months) were…

Dabrowska, Ewa – Language Learning, 2019
This study compares the performance of native speakers and adult second language (L2) learners on tasks tapping proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, and collocations. In addition, data were collected on several predictors of individual differences in linguistic attainment, including some related to language experience (print exposure, education,…

Raudszus, Henriette; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
This study compared how lexical quality (vocabulary and decoding) and executive control (working memory and inhibition) predict reading comprehension directly as well as indirectly, via syntactic integration, in monolingual and bilingual fourth grade children. The participants were 76 monolingual and 102 bilingual children (mean age 10 years,…

Gross, Jennifer; Winegard, Bo; Plotkowski, Andrea R. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2018
Spoken English has a stress-alternating rhythm that is not marked in its orthography. In two experiments, the authors evaluated whether stylistic alterations to print that marked stress pulses fostered the rendering of rhythm (experiment 1) and stress (experiment 2) during silent reading. In experiment 1, silent readers rated the helpfulness of…
