Zhongling Pi; Fangfang Zhu; Yi Zhang; Jiumin Yang – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Instructional videos for teaching second language (L2) vocabulary often feature an instructor onscreen. The instructor in the video may involuntarily produce beat gestures with their hands, as occurs in real teaching settings. Beat gestures highlight key information in speech by conveying the rhythm of the language, but do not themselves convey…

Takimoto, Masahiro – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between a metaphor-based approach to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) and involvement of the brain's right hemisphere. Specifically, it examined learners' understanding of three levels of sureness associated with different expressions in English -- those that are "certain,"…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Zhou, Weichen; Xu, Ke; Chen, Yanran; Yang, Jiumin; Zhao, Qingbai – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
In the present study, we tested the effectiveness of three learning strategies (self-explanation, learning by teaching and passive viewing) used by students who were learning from video lectures. Effectiveness was measured not only with traditional measures, but also with electroencephalography (EEG). Using a within-subjects design, 26 university…

Akman, Pinar; Yapici, Asim; Kutlu, Mahmut Oguz; Tuncel, Filiz; Demiroglari, Gürcan – African Educational Research Journal, 2020
Learning is a lifelong process. Personal characteristics of learners and environmental conditions will increase efficiency by using the most appropriate teaching methods and techniques according to subject 's structure. With traditional teaching methods, it is not likely to realize aims suitable for equipment required by age. For these reasons,…

Haebig, Eileen; Leonard, Laurence B.; Deevy, Patricia; Schumaker, Jennifer; Karpicke, Jeffrey D.; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Recent behavioral studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of implementing retrieval practice into learning tasks for children. Such approaches have revealed that repeated spaced retrieval (RSR) is particularly effective in promoting children's learning of word form and meaning information. This study further examines how retrieval…

Kosar, Gülten; Bedir, Hasan – Online Submission, 2018
This study aims at investigating the impact of brain-based learning on the retention of English language knowledge amongst young adult learners. The participants were subjected to an intervention in brain-based learning principles for approximately four and a half months. The results of the proficiency exams administered at the beginning of and…

Chen, Mei-Hua; Huang, Chung-Chi; Huang, Shih-Ting; Chang, Jason S.; Liou, Hsien-Chin – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
Formulaic language is important to language acquisition; however, English language learners are often reported to have problems with formulaic expressions. Several lists of formulaic sequences have been proposed, mainly for developing teaching and testing materials. However, their limited numbers and insufficient usage information seem unable to…

Önem, Evrim; Ergenç, Iclal – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2013
Much research has shown that there is a negative relationship between high levels of anxiety and success for English language teaching. This paper aimed to test a model of teaching for anxiety and success in English language teaching to affect anxiety and success levels at the same time in a control-experiment group with pre- and post-test study…

Takeuchi, Osamu; Ikeda, Maiko; Mizumoto, Atsushi – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2012
This article explores the cerebral mechanism of reading aloud activities in L2 learners. These activities have been widely used in L2 learning and teaching, and its effect has been reported in various Asian L2 learning contexts. However, the reasons for its effectiveness have not been examined. In order to fill in this gap, two studies using a…

Kelly, Spencer D.; McDevitt, Tara; Esch, Megan – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2009
Recent research in psychology and neuroscience has demonstrated that co-speech gestures are semantically integrated with speech during language comprehension and development. The present study explored whether gestures also play a role in language learning in adults. In Experiment 1, we exposed adults to a brief training session presenting novel…
