Kato, Morimichi – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
Nature and time have long been key concepts of educational thought. Educational thinkers from both the East and the West have tried to imitate and follow nature (conceived as "tien" or "physis").

Here, we examine GFA trajectories in Japanese-English bilingual returnees (Japanese children who returned to Japan after having lived in a majority English environment for several…

Derek N. Canning; Stuart McLean; Joseph P. Vitta – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
Recent studies have shown that the frequency effect, although long used as a guide to word difficulty, fails to explain all variance in learner word knowledge. As such, a "more than frequency" conclusion has been offered to explain how lexical sophistication accounts for word difficulty. This study presents a multiple regression model of…

Xu, Jinfen; Zhang, Shanshan – Modern Language Journal, 2023
The affective turn in the second language (L2) acquisition literature has witnessed a shift from the periphery to a clear focus on emotions. Nevertheless, this shift tends to examine emotion separately from cognition. Vygotsky's "perezhivanie" provides a theoretical lens to explore the inextricable interconnectedness of emotion and…

Variegation - the presence of more than one supraglottal consonant per word - is a key challenge for children as they increase their expressive vocabulary toward the end of the single-word period.

Aural lexical knowledge (ALK) is crucial for second language (L2) listening. Despite its importance, there is scant research that has validly explored the relationship between ALK and L2 listening across different English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. In an effort to broaden this research base, the current study closely replicates a…

Kavita Fongsataporn; Ruedeerath Chusanachoti; Voravudhi Chirasombutti – PASAA: Journal of Language Teaching and Learning in Thailand, 2024
Language reflects how people think and behave in their culture. To have successful conversations, both language use and cultural awareness should be taken into consideration.
