Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette; Oh, Min Hyun; Luk, Gigi; Rollins, Adam – Educational Researcher, 2022
Using state-level data, we report special education (SPED) trends in Tennessee from 2009 to 2019 for students in Grades 3 to 8 by language groups--native English speaker (NES), English-proficient bilingual (EPB), and current English learner (Current EL)--and income status (eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch). The sample included 812,783…

Qihui Xu – ProQuest LLC, 2022
How early do children produce multiword utterances? Do children's early utterances reflect abstract syntactic knowledge or are they the result of data-driven learning? We examine this issue through corpus analysis, computational modeling, and adult simulation experiments. Chapter 1 investigates when children start producing multiword utterances;…

Kari Sahan; Nicola Galloway; Jim McKinley – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Emerging from the growing body of work on English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education are challenges to policy implementation, particularly when it is implemented top-down without a careful needs analysis or when it fails to address problems associated with 'English-only' implementation and so-called 'native speaker' norms. Our study…

Nico Lehmann; Vahid Mortezapour; Jozina Vander Klok; Zahra Farokhnejad; David Müller; Elisabeth Verhoeven; Aria Adli – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2025
We present a new corpus design for multi-lingual corpora that involve intra-speaker variation in different situational-functional contexts, including primarily spoken but also the written mode, with the aim towards enhancing language documentation efforts and resources. We illustrate how this comparative design and the resulting cross-culturally…

Li-Mei Chen; Chunlei Liu – TESOL Journal, 2025
The conventional perspective of learner autonomy aims to cultivate second and foreign language (L2) learners with self-regulated learning strategies they can use to achieve native-like communicative competence. While the perspective can equip L2 learners with certain linguistic coding and decoding skills to take charge of their own learning, it…

Fuhrmeister, Pamela; Phillips, Matthew C.; McCoach, D. Betsy; Myers, Emily B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Individuals differ in their ability to perceive and learn unfamiliar speech sounds, but we lack a comprehensive theoretical account that predicts individual differences in this skill. Predominant theories largely attribute difficulties of non-native speech perception to the relationships between non-native speech sounds/contrasts and…

Mnasri, Sami; Habbash, Manssour – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Accent recognition refers to the problem of inferring the native language of a speaker from his foreign-accented speech. Differences in accent are due to both articulation and prosodic characteristics. The automatic identification of foreign accents is valuable for different speech systems, such as speech recognition, speaker identification or…

Kebir Colmenero; David Lasagabaster – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The English Language Teaching (ELT) industry has long been ruled by native-speaker norms. Despite the fact that non-native speaking teachers (NNSTs) outnumber native speaking teachers (NSTs), the formers' linguistic abilities are often perceived as not fully fledged by both students and NNSTs themselves. Many studies have examined the NST vs. NNST…

Christopher Samuell – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2024
The relationship between concepts of 'native-speakerism', English language education and their effects on local stakeholders are continually evolving. As such, this paper critically analysed native-speakerist ideologies in the Japanese EFL teaching context with the aim of illustrating the complicated nature of native-speakerism as it currently…

John E. Booth – rEFLections, 2024
That a certain class of verb commonly known as 'statives' is undergoing change in terms of the way in which certain verbs of this type are being used in everyday speech is nothing new to the field of linguistics. Much has been written about it, and the author of this paper alone has been preoccupied with the subject for many years now. However,…

Ismael Louber; Mayez Almayez – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2024
There has been an increased interest among researchers concerning the relationship between faith and English language teaching (ELT) in the context of the global spread of English; however, to this date, very few studies have focused on ELT and Islam. Considering the wider sociopolitical, ideological or religious issues connected to the global…

Gatti, Alberta; Graves, Syelle – Foreign Language Annals, 2020
It is often assumed that heritage language learners (HLLs) speak better than they write--by themselves and by educators alike. This article draws on data from writing and oral proficiency ratings plus self-evaluations of 35 Spanish HLLs to investigate: (i) whether Spanish HLLs actually tend to receive higher ratings in speaking than in writing;…

Rehrig, Gwendolyn; Peacock, Candace E.; Hayes, Taylor R.; Henderson, John M.; Ferreira, Fernanda – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
The world is visually complex, yet we can efficiently describe it by extracting the information that is most relevant to convey. How do the properties of real-world scenes help us decide where to look and what to say? Image salience has been the dominant explanation for what drives visual attention and production as we describe displays, but new…

The current study presents two meta-analyses to explore what underlies the assessment and teaching of comprehensible and nativelike pronunciation among English-as-a-Second-Language speakers. In Study 1, listener studies (n = 37) were retrieved examining the influence of segmental, prosodic, and temporal features on listeners' intuitive judgements…
