Erdem Onan; Felicitas Biwer; Roman Abel; Wisnu Wiradhany; Anique de Bruin – npj Science of Learning, 2024
During category learning, students struggle to create an optimal study order: They often study one category at a time (i.e., blocked practice) instead of alternating between different categories (i.e., interleaved practice). Several interventions to improve self-study of categorical learning have been proposed, but these interventions have only…

Daniele Traversaro; Giorgio Delzanno; Giovanna Guerrini – Informatics in Education, 2024
Concurrency is a complex to learn topic that is becoming more and more relevant, such that many undergraduate Computer Science curricula are introducing it in introductory programming courses. This paper investigates the combined use of Sonic Pi and Team-Based Learning to mitigate the difficulties in early exposure to concurrency. Sonic Pi, a…

Noriko Aotani; Shin’ya Takahashi – Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 2024
In order to verify our hypothesis that a certain trigger is necessary to facilitate L2 learners' communication strategy transfer to speak English, this study examined the effects of implicit and explicit cues on English utterances by Japanese speakers. Ten Japanese university students viewed a video of city-walking in New York or in Tokyo, and…

Nina Woll; Pierre-Luc Paquet – Language Teaching Research, 2025
If maximal exposure were the key to success in language learning, then adult learners at the university level would be doomed to fail. Not only are they presumably too old to learn additional languages effectively, but target language (TL) input appears to be insufficient, especially when other languages are allowed in class. Nevertheless,…

Peng Peng; H. Lee Swanson – Grantee Submission, 2022
Converging evidence suggests that traditional domain-general working memory (WM) training does not have reliable far-transfer effects, but produces reliable, modest near-transfer effects on structurally similar untrained tasks. Given the critical role of WM in academic development, WM training that incorporates task-specific features may maximize…

An Analysis of the Effects of Listener Responding and Tact Training on the Emergence of Intraverbals
Lori Lin Chamberlain – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study compared the effects of listener training and tact training on the emergence of intraverbal responses in the form of foreign language equivalents of the native language. The study was based on Skinner's verbal operants with a focus on intraverbal responses. All participants received listener training and tact training after which a…

Wandong Xu; Xinhua Zhu – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Despite the widely recognized importance of metacognition in language learning, relatively few empirical studies have investigated the role of metacognitive strategies with a cross-linguistic perspective. Drawing on the mixed-method design combining questionnaire and interview data, this study systematically investigated the effects, the transfer…

Liu, Yingsheng; Yeung, Pui-sze – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2023
Speaking constitutes one of the main goals of learning a second language (L2). Despite the increasing attention on the role of planning and language transfer in L2 learning, the combined effect of using different languages and pre-task planning on language production remains unclear. This study investigated whether the use of different languages…

Madelon van den Boer; Elise H. de Bree – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Children make spelling errors despite classroom instruction on phoneme-grapheme connections and spelling rules. We examined whether additional practice helps to decrease the number of spelling errors for a morphological spelling rule. We distinguished explicit practice in applying a spelling rule from implicit exposure to correct word…

Thomas Simpson; Mitchell Finlay; Victoria Simpson; Ayoub Asadi; Paul Ellison; Evelyn Carnegie; David Marchant – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
An external focus of attention and autonomy support are identified as key factors to optimize motor learning; however, research in children is limited. Moreover, research has failed to examine these factors in ecologically valid motor learning settings, like physical education. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of external focus of…

Banitz, Brita – MEXTESOL Journal, 2022
In the present article, I revisit the ongoing controversy surrounding the use of translation in the foreign language classroom in general. I begin by defining the concept of 'translation' arguing that translation can be understood either as a method or as a means and that it is exactly the ambiguity of the term that has led to the current debate…

Szabó, Fruzsina; Csépes, Ildikó – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2023
This paper highlights the concept of constructivism that underpins the theory and practice of foreign language teaching. The dominance of this pedagogical movement in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century has been particularly important for the study and understanding of digitally supported forms of learning.…

Akkuzu, Idil; Erem, Nesip Omer – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2020
Re-considering 'space' has gained importance once again, especially in the context of virtual spaces that have developed in the last century. Virtual technologies aiming for a lifelike experience have tried to imitate the processes taking place in physical space and adapt them to virtual spaces. Just as in the physical world, spaces formed by…

Zuzana Toth; Tomáš Hlava; Beatriz Gómez-Pablos – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
The study addresses the research gap of how being a speaker of a Slavic language influences the ability to convey tempo-aspectual meanings in Romance languages by examining personal and impersonal narratives delivered in written and spoken mode by learners of L3 Spanish and L3 Italian with L1 Slovak and L2 English. Narratives are analysed…

Anagnostopoulou, Angeliki; Hummel, Hans G. K.; Martens, Rob – Cogent Education, 2023
Authentic learning tasks, resembling life-like situations, have been effectively used in this research with Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) of English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL). The present study also focuses on the implementation of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach in ESL/EFL teaching comparing two…
