Direct linkHu, Zhenming; Zheng, Binghan; Wang, Xiangling – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2021
The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of repeated use of a metacognitive self-regulation inventory (MSRI) in translator self-training. Designed by the researchers, the MSRI includes the cognitive management strategies of planning, monitoring and evaluation. A pre-post comparison study was conducted with two groups of students. The…

Gollan, Tamar H.; Goldrick, Matthew – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
The current study investigated the possibility that language switches could be relatively automatically triggered by context. "Single-word switches," in which bilinguals switched languages on a single word in midsentence and then immediately switched back, were contrasted with more complete "whole-language switches," in which…

Berninger, Virginia; Abbott, Robert; Cook, Clayton R.; Nagy, William – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Relationships between attention/executive functions and language learning were investigated in students in Grades 4 to 9 (N = 88) with and without specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in multiword syntax in oral and written language (OWL LD), word reading and spelling (dyslexia), and subword letter writing (dysgraphia). Prior…

Language learners with high working memory capacity have an advantage, all other factors being equal, during the second language acquisition (SLA) process; therefore, identifying a pedagogical intervention that can compensate for low working memory capacity would be advantageous to language learners and instructors. Extensive research on the…

Gunnarsson, Cecilia – Language Learning & Language Teaching (MS), 2012
The present longitudinal case study investigated the development of fluency, complexity and accuracy--and the possible relationships between them--in the written production of L2 French. We assessed fluency and complexity in five intermediate learners by means of conventional indicators for written L2 (cf. Wolfe-Quintero et al. 1998), while…

Rossi, Franca; Pontecorvo, Clotilde – Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, 1989
The results of a study that examined the semantic and the morph-syntactic awareness of 60 elementary school children are presented. Subjects were given the tasks of substituting a new word for each word indicated in a sentence, and choosing to eliminate any word in a sentence in order to insert a new one. (CFM)

Peer reviewedBorman, Deborah L.; And Others – American Annals of the Deaf, 1988
Metalinguistic abilities of 20 hearing-impaired children, aged 4-10, were assessed by asking them to judge synonymy of sentence pairs presented in Signed English, Pidgin Sign English, and American Sign Language. None of the children had developed metalinguistic abilities in any of the sign language systems. (Author/JDD)
