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…

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…

Kleopatra Mytara; Barbara Köpke – Language Learning Journal, 2024
In the vast literature on language attrition, studies on the role of extralinguistic factors in language retention, particularly concerning foreign language (FL) skills acquired in formal instructional contexts, are scarce. We address this issue by focusing on the impact of the frequency of FL use, both extramural and in the classroom, and…

The purpose of this paper is to describe and reflect on the position of what are called second additional languages in the language teaching landscape of South African schools. This landscape is crowded, with different South African languages vying for attention. Amidst efforts to increase the number of learners who offer an African language as…

Schulz, Johannes; Hamilton, Catherine; Wonnacott, Elizabeth; Murphy, Victoria – Review of Education, 2023
This systematic review reports on research investigating the impact of multi-word unit (MWU) input on young learners' second language (L2) attainment in instructed settings. Recent findings suggest that L2 learners can generalise from MWU input, abstract patterns and employ such schemata productively via slot-filling, indicating that MWUs are key…

Christopher Rendes – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Learning a second language is a complex task. Adopting the innovative use of a multimodal literacies approach provides young second language (L2) learners with expanded opportunities to immerse themselves in the target language. This study explored how participants utilized their multimodal literacies along with the level of investment…

Anjel Tozcu; Dawn Bikowski; Lorraine Miller-Nara – NECTFL Review, 2025
This paper explores the implementation of task-based language teaching (TBLT) at a military institution in the United States after face-to-face instruction transitioned to virtual mode with the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. The institution implemented TBLT before the pandemic. With the transition to the online mode, an online collaboration…

Shamini Shetye – Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2024
The recent advancement in technology has attracted learners' attention worldwide to Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for educational purposes. While GenAI has shown promising results for general language purposes (Godwin-Jones, 2023; Xiao & Zhi, 2023), the potential of GenAI for language learning has not been fully explored. This…

Pamela M. Wesely; Reuben Vyn; Diane Neubauer – Language Teaching Research, 2024
World language teachers have historically relied on the notion of teaching methods to inform elements of design and procedure in their instructional practice. Teacher beliefs about teaching methods, however, have been shown to be significantly influenced by their context, including their institution and their learners. This phenomenon has led some…

Anna Lia Proietti Ergün; Hande Ersöz Demirdag – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
In the last ten years, positive emotion in foreign language learning has been increasingly investigated in many research areas, including Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE). FLE has been defined as a positive emotion felt when an individual's psychological needs are met. This study investigates the relationship between perceived levels of Subjective…

Jia Lin – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Using a structural equation modeling approach, this study investigates the structural relationships between second language (L2) oral proficiency and interest in learning the target language (L2 interest), in the presence of potential mediating variables (i.e. perceived importance of speaking, out-of-class contact with L2 resources). It also…

Eide, Liv; Skalle, Camilla; Gjesdal, Anje Müller – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
The development of intercultural competence is a crucial part of foreign language (FL) education, yet it remains under-explored in teaching materials and teacher education. Transnational perspectives on FL teaching, and specifically literary texts on migration and exile, may help expand teaching beyond the traditional monocultural focus and…

Lisa Klasen; Sonja Ugen; Carole Dording; Michel Fayol; Constanze Weth – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Inaudible syntactic markers are especially difficult to spell. This paper examines how 455 fourth graders spell silent French plural markers in a dictation with real and pseudowords after one year of formal French instruction (L2). The Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis shows first that noun plural spelling (real and pseudo) is a strong…
