Gladys Tshikondela; Catherine Nedambale; Hanrie Bezuidenhout; Elizabeth Henning – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
Early-grade learners build on their preschool numeracy competence with vocabulary and grammar of their home language as important semiotic tools. In this study, the performance of two samples of Grade 2 learners, who completed the MARKO-D SA interview-based test of number concept development, were assessed. The results showed that participants (n…

Haley De Korne; Åse Mette Johansen; Hilde Sollid – Modern Language Journal, 2025
Critical place-based pedagogies are closely tied to the social space of teachers and learners, aiming to raise awareness and support efforts for positive change. Social space shapes--and is shaped by--language teaching and learning. A critical approach to language teacher education must always engage with space and place, and contextual awareness…

Aranzazu Bea Reyes; Carmen Rodríguez-Gonzalo – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2025
The importance of revision has been recognised by numerous scholars of the teaching and learning of writing (Abad & Rodríguez-Gonzalo, 2023; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Camps, 2020; Horning & Becker, 2006), especially if it is understood as a recursive and transversal phase that affects all levels of language (Álvarez Angulo, 2011;…

Matthieu Bignon; Sandrine Mejias; Séverine Casalis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Most studies about reading development in second-language learners have been carried out on children exposed to the second language from kindergarten. They have shown that decoding skills develop in a similar way to those of monolingual children. We wondered whether this holds for primary school newcomer non-native-speaking children. This…

Akbulut, Serdar; Aslan, Yasemin; Ahiskali, Eylem Ezgi – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2021
The language, in the most basic sense, is a means of communication among people. Since the proper and effective use of people's native language will shape the whole life of an individual, individuals are expected to have native language awareness. There is a strong bilateral relationship between the effective use of native language and native…

Hanoon Umarlebbe, Jameela; Binti Mat Said, Seriaznita – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2021
The first part of this paper discusses the rationale for universal grammar (UG) theory to explain first language acquisition. It also illustrates the issues of language acquisition Chomsky argued which could not be supported by behaviourist theories and shows how Chomsky proposed a solution to this problem through his theoretical model of…

Amaia Carrión-Castillo; Manuel Carreiras; Marie Lallier – Developmental Science, 2026
Genetic factors are known to play a role in shaping reading abilities and their underlying cognitive processes. However, understanding how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence reading outcomes remains largely unknown. By evaluating the interplay between genetic and environmental influences on reading performance, this study aims…

Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called "MECO L2" (Multilingual Eye Movements…

Staples, Shelley; Gray, Bethany; Biber, Douglas; Egbert, Jesse – Applied Linguistics, 2023
Grammatical complexity has been established as a key indicator of language and writing development (Ortega 2003; Bulté and Housen, 2014; Crossley and McNamara 2014). The present study uses the Register-Functional approach to complexity (Biber et al. 2022) to compare the development of L1 English and L2 English writers across year of study and…

Singh, Leher; Cheng, Qiqi; Yeung, Wei-Jun Jean – Developmental Science, 2023
Infants undergo fundamental shifts in perception that are reported to be critical for language acquisition. In particular, infants' perception of native and non-native sounds begins to align with the properties of their native sound system. Thus far, empirical evidence for this transition--perceptual narrowing--has drawn from socio-economically…

Ruth Kircher; Ethan Kutlu – Applied Linguistics, 2023
Little is known about how monolingual ideologies and their effects manifest in online contexts as compared to offline contexts. We conducted a corpus-assisted discourse study to investigate this, with a focus on Twitter representations of Spanish as a heritage language in the USA. We analysed two corpora (one English and one Spanish--over 30…
