Background: Second language (L2) reading is a complex process in which two languages constantly interact. L1 reading and L2 proficiency are two well-acknowledged factors contributing to L2 reading comprehension. Other factors, such as strategy use and anxiety, might also predict L2 reading comprehension, but their roles have not been examined in…

Alba Arias Álvarez – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
Migrant communities settle and appropriate spaces in their new home through deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation processes, which involve the reconceptualisation of the language and symbols of the homeland and those spoken and used in the diaspora. The public sphere is one of the most distinguishable places where this contextual relation…

Maïte Franco; Andreia P. Costa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Parents of autistic children are often advised to use only one language to simplify their child's language acquisition. Often this recommendation orients towards the geographically predominant language, which may cause difficulties especially for minority-language families. On the other hand, scientific evidence suggests that…

Anastasia Sorokina – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2025
Research has shown that bilingual individuals might encode autobiographical memories in either their first language (L1) or their second language (L2), depending on the language spoken at the time of the event. Although language mixing is a common occurrence among multilingual speakers, previous studies have largely overlooked mixed…

In this study, the performance of two samples of Grade 2 learners, who completed the MARKO-D SA interview-based test of number concept development, were assessed. The results showed that participants (n…

Haley De Korne; Åse Mette Johansen; Hilde Sollid – Modern Language Journal, 2025
Critical place-based pedagogies are closely tied to the social space of teachers and learners, aiming to raise awareness and support efforts for positive change. Social space shapes--and is shaped by--language teaching and learning. A critical approach to language teacher education must always engage with space and place, and contextual awareness…

Aranzazu Bea Reyes; Carmen Rodríguez-Gonzalo – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2025
The importance of revision has been recognised by numerous scholars of the teaching and learning of writing (Abad & Rodríguez-Gonzalo, 2023; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Camps, 2020; Horning & Becker, 2006), especially if it is understood as a recursive and transversal phase that affects all levels of language (Álvarez Angulo, 2011;…

Akbulut, Serdar; Aslan, Yasemin; Ahiskali, Eylem Ezgi – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2021
The language, in the most basic sense, is a means of communication among people. Since the proper and effective use of people's native language will shape the whole life of an individual, individuals are expected to have native language awareness. There is a strong bilateral relationship between the effective use of native language and native…

The first part of this paper discusses the rationale for universal grammar (UG) theory to explain first language acquisition. It also illustrates the issues of language acquisition Chomsky argued which could not be supported by behaviourist theories and shows how Chomsky proposed a solution to this problem through his theoretical model of…

Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called "MECO L2" (Multilingual Eye Movements…

Staples, Shelley; Gray, Bethany; Biber, Douglas; Egbert, Jesse – Applied Linguistics, 2023
Grammatical complexity has been established as a key indicator of language and writing development (Ortega 2003; Bulté and Housen, 2014; Crossley and McNamara 2014). The present study uses the Register-Functional approach to complexity (Biber et al. 2022) to compare the development of L1 English and L2 English writers across year of study and…
