Is There a "Natural Sequence" in Adult Second Language Learning?

Peer reviewed

Bailey, Nathalie; And Others – Language Learning, 1974

A test administered to 73 adults learning English as a second language revealed a highly consistent order of relative difficulty in the use of eight functors across different language backgrounds. This study also confirmed earlier results indicating that children and adults use common strategies and process linguistic data similarly. (Author/KM)

Testing Pronunciation: An Application of Generalizability Theory.

Peer reviewed

van Weeren, J.; Theunissen, T. J. J. M. – Language Learning, 1987

A systematic and explicit approach to evaluation of pronunciation is proposed. Generalizability theory was applied in order to comprise all relevant factors in one psychomotor model. French and German pronunciation tests (in Appendix) were devised and evaluated. Common pronunciation problems for native Dutch speakers were incorporated. (Author/LMO)
