Xiaoluan Liu; Yuanyuan Liu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The present study examined the cross-modal cueing effect of musical rhythmic beats on non-native speech rhythm production. Two groups of Chinese learners of French were cued respectively with rhythmic beats that either matched (matching group) or mismatched (mismatching group) the rhythm patterns of the target French sentences. The participants…

Javier Bejarano – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2024
This study investigates the effect of conventional and nonconventional expressions on listener comprehensibility. A forty-item comprehensibility test, including conventional expressions, interlanguage attempts, sociopragmatic deviances and alternative grammar constructions produced by French L2 (second language) speakers (N=27) was created.…

Sara Saez-Fajardo – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
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…

James Turner – Second Language Research, 2025
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…

Danika Wagner; Sadek Hefni Shorbagi; Leora Goldreich; Ellen Bialystok – Developmental Psychology, 2024
The present study investigated the relation between continuous measures of two qualitatively different types of bilingual experience and outcome measures that varied in domain (verbal or nonverbal) and processing demands (degree of conflict). Participants were 195 English-speaking children, 7 years old, who were enrolled in French immersion…

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…

Elvira Barrios; Irene Acosta-Manzano – Language Teaching Research, 2025
This study aimed to identify associations and predictors of willingness to communicate (WTC) of adult foreign language (FL) learners and whether they are contingent upon the FL being learned. To this end, our research investigated learner variables associated with WTC in adult FL learners of English and of French in an under-researched field of…

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…

Laura Gurney; Eugenia Demuro – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2025
In this paper, we draw on data from world languages teachers (English, Spanish and French, in particular) to explore and unpack binaries encountered in their practice in relation to both culture and language. Specifically, we explore the fluid and the fixed, and the essential and the hybrid, within the classroom and world beyond. We theorise…

Lucian Rothe – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
Grounded in self-based and community-oriented concepts of motivation research into learning world languages, this study investigated stereotypes about native-speaker and non-native-speaker teachers of German that 110 novice learners of French, German, Russian, and Spanish had encountered. It furthermore analyzed how participants rated the accuracy…

Jonathan Paris; Sawsen Lakhal; Joséphine Mukamurera – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
The extensive adoption of online education by universities worldwide was further propelled by the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), giving rise to a key challenge: high dropout rates. Previous studies based on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework have examined the effects of social presence (SP), cognitive presence (CP), and teaching…

Yonghou Liu; Tianle Li; Quan Zhong – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
Multilingual perspectives have become the mainstream research paradigm in language motivation studies lately. The motivational interplay between English and French, as two important foreign languages in China, has received little academic attention, but this topic is becoming increasingly significant for language education in the era of global…

The Role of Explicit Memory across Second Language Syntactic Development: A Structural Priming Study
Marion Coumel; Merel Muylle; Katherine Messenger; Robert J. Hartsuiker – Language Learning, 2024
We tested whether second language (L2) learners rely more on explicit memory during structural priming at lower than at higher proficiency levels (Hartsuiker & Bernolet, 2017). We compared within-L2 priming with lexical overlap in 100 low and 100 high proficiency French L2 speakers under low versus high working memory load conditions induced…

Loanne Janin – Classroom Discourse, 2024
Following the current research in conversation analysis in the field of second language (L2) learning, the present study demonstrates that beginner-level adult learners actively contribute to vocabulary explanation sequences by mobilising multimodal resources including depictive gestures, gaze, and short verbal turns. The data consist of…
