Kartushina, Natalia; Soto, David; Martin, Clara – Language Learning, 2023
In this study, we assessed metacognition in nonnative language speech perception and production. Spanish novice learners of French identified and produced the French vowel contrast /ø/--/oe/ and, on each trial, rated their confidence in their responses. Participants' confidence in perception predicted their identification accuracy, suggesting that…

María Sampedro Mella; Claudia Sánchez Gutiérrez – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
The use of the Spanish pronouns of address "tú" and "usted" is an intricate matter for L2 learners due to the many factors that influence their selection at the discourse and interactional level. Although the literature has traditionally focused on the challenges experienced by L1-English learners of L2-Spanish in learning…

This project studies how Spanish-Catalan early bilinguals use language learning strategies (LLS) differently depending on their order of language acquisition when they are learning French as an L4. Considering that the use of LLS has been pointed out as a sign of successful language learning, the study inquires whether being a simultaneous…

This study analyses the production of French /y/ and /u/ by 42 native English learners of French (ELoF) at the start and end of a Residence Abroad (RA) in a French-speaking country. As an approximation of both phonological and phonetic development, categorical change is teased apart from gradient change using k-medoid clustering of acoustic data…

Kevin Papin; Regina Kaplan-Rakowski – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
Second language (L2) learning research suggests that virtual reality (VR) has the potential to enhance the development of language skills due to its immersive nature and its situated learning opportunities. This quantitative, between-subjects study compared the effectiveness of three learning conditions. University students (N = 63) studied…

Anamaria Bodea; Pavel Trofimovich – Language Learning Journal, 2024
This study explored the notion of flow, which refers to a person's sense of being completely absorbed in a task, as it applies to second language (L2) learning and use. Previously, flow has been mainly examined through researcher-generated descriptions to which learners reacted using Likert-type scales. In this study, we examined flow through the…

Marika Kunnas – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2025
This paper presents three monologues created from an arts-based doctoral study investigating race and racism in French immersion programs in Ontario. French immersion has been criticized for being exclusionary, especially based on race (Yoon & Gulson, 2010), special education status (Wise, 2011), nationality, and home language (Mady, 2013). In…
