Effectiveness of Type of Feedback and Frequency on Digital Game-Based L2 Vocabulary Acquisition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Calvo-Ferrer, José Ramón – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2021
The frequency of word exposure in teaching materials, along with corrective feedback, has often been identified as a powerful variable in the learning of vocabulary in a foreign language. The effect of the number of times an action is presented as accurate in digital game-based language learning scenarios (i.e., knowledge of correct response [KCR]…

Audio-Visual Input for Learning L2 Vocabulary and Grammatical Constructions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Muñoz, Carmen; Pujadas, Geòrgia; Pattemore, Anastasiia – Second Language Research, 2023
This article addresses the benefits of audio-visual input for learning second language (L2) vocabulary and grammatical constructions. Specifically, it explores the role of frequency, the effects of subtitles and captions, and the mediating role of learner proficiency on language gains in two longitudinal studies. Study 1 targets vocabulary…

Laurene Glimois – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Bilingualism is associated with lifelong cognitive benefits that correlate with facilitated achievements in subsequent language learning. Second language (L2) instruction as well can promote the development of cognitive abilities involved in language learning, and among these, L2 input processing. Crucial to L2 acquisition, input processing is the…

Lucas, Matt – Language Awareness, 2020
The present study investigated the interface between explicit instruction and computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in an effort to reduce plural marking errors among Japanese EFL learners. The instruction involved raising contrastive awareness of cross-linguistic and conceptual features, and was delivered via an online medium. A total of 180…

Attentional Processing of Input in Explicit and Implicit Conditions: An Eye-Tracking Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Indrarathne, Bimali; Kormos, Judit – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2017
In this study we examined language learners' attentional processing of a target syntactic construction in written L2 input in different input conditions, the change in learners' knowledge of the targeted construction in these conditions, and the relationship between the change in knowledge and attentional processing. One hundred L2 learners of…

Effects of Variance and Input Distribution on the Training of L2 Learners' Tone Categorization
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Jiang – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Recent psycholinguistic findings showed that (a) a multi-modal phonetic training paradigm that encodes visual, interactive information is more effective in training L2 learners' perception of novel categories, (b) decreasing the acoustic variance of a phonetic dimension allows the learners to more effectively shift the perceptual weight towards…
