The review describes and specifies the spelling…

Michelle M. Dutton – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This qualitative study explores the roles that undergraduate Spanish as a second language (L2) learners ascribe to their identities, backgrounds, sociocultural contexts, and imaginations in the development of their ideal second language (L2) selves (Dornyei 2009), rooted L2 selves (MacIntyre et al., 2017) and investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015;…

Ryan, Jonathon; Foster, Pauline; Fester, Anthea; Wang, Yi; Field, Jenny; Kearney, Celine; Yap, Jia Rong – Language Learning, 2023
This article responds to calls for greater inclusivity in second language acquisition research and, more specifically, to calls to explore further the impact of first language literacy on second language oracy (e.g., Tarone et al., 2009). We conducted a partial replication of Foster and Skehan's (1996) influential study of task complexity,…

Hofweber, Julia; Aumônier, Lizzy; Janke, Vikki; Gullberg, Marianne; Marshall, Chloë – Language Learning, 2023
We investigated whether sign-naïve learners can infer and learn the meaning of signs after minimal exposure to continuous, naturalistic input in the form of a weather forecast in Swedish Sign Language. Participants were L1-English adults. Two experimental groups watched the forecast once (n = 40) or twice (n = 42); a control group did not (n =…

Susana Pérez Castillejo; Katherine Urzua-Parra – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study conceptually replicated Huensch and Tracy-Ventura's (2017) analysis of the relationship between L1 and L2 utterance fluency with adult L1-English learners of Spanish. Data from 88 participants were analyzed to explore the proportion of the variance in L2 fluency measures that can be attributed to the corresponding L1 measures, and the…
