Allison Taylor-Adams – Modern Language Journal, 2024
This article examines the relationship between collective memory and individual second-language (L2) learning motivation as articulated in a qualitative research study with language revitalization practitioners. These practitioners learn and teach their languages and engage in other activities in order to bring Indigenous or ancestral languages…

Ana Pellicer-Sánchez; Stuart Webb; Andi Wang – Applied Linguistics, 2024
Lexical coverage, i.e. the extent to which words in a text are known, is considered an important predictor of reading comprehension, with studies suggesting 98% lexical coverage leads to adequate comprehension. However, no studies to date have examined how the various lexical coverage percentages suggested in the literature are reflected by the…

Yuko Goto Butler – Language Teaching, 2024
Self-assessment (SA), as an activity for reflecting on one's own performance and abilities (Black & Wiliam, 1998), has been a topic of interest to educators over the years. Among second language (L2) educators, SA began growing in popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, when L2 educators' focus shifted from analyzing linguistic systems to examining…

Zoe A. Zawadzki – ProQuest LLC, 2024
High variability pronunciation training (HVPT) has been found to be successful for training various segmentals, such as the challenging /l/-/[voiced alveolar approximant]/ contrast, and suprasegmental features such as tone and pitch accent. These studies have found that HVPT is an effective method not only in helping learners improve their…

Is L2 Pronunciation Affected by Increased Task Complexity in Pronunciation-Unfocused Speaking Tasks?
Ingrid Mora-Plaza; Joan C. Mora; Mireia Ortega; Cristina Aliaga-Garcia – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This study examines the effects of task complexity on second language (L2) pronunciation accuracy and global pronunciation measures in pronunciation-unfocused tasks and assesses the relationship between acoustic and listener-based pronunciation measures. Eighty-two Catalan/Spanish learners of English performed simple and complex versions of a…

Nana Kwon – English Teaching, 2024
This study investigates how working memory (WM) capacity and L2 linguistic knowledge affect L2 literal and inferential reading comprehension, considering the presence or absence of background knowledge. Eighty upper-intermediate to advanced adult English learners participated, completing tasks to assess WM capacity, background knowledge, L2…

Hengjie Chen; Dingfang Shu – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
Academic self-concept, a central psychological construct that powerfully explains learners' varied motivations and learning behaviors, needs to be further explored to deepen our understanding of language learner psychology. Drawing on self-reported learning histories, this study investigates the English self-concept of successful English as a…

Özgür Parlak – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
The interactionist approach to second language acquisition has yielded a plethora of studies confirming the positive impact of interaction and corrective feedback on second language (L2) development. Nevertheless, only a few studies have attempted to investigate the development of L2 prosody using the interactionist approach. The current study…

Joseph B. Quinto; Manilyn R. Cacanindin – Advanced Education, 2024
Despite numerous studies about language learning strategies (LLSs), many learners still misunderstand their effectiveness, thinking they require too much effort for minimal gain. Additionally, students have varied and conflicting preferences for LLSs, and factors like cultural background influence their choices, indicating a need for more research…

Friedman, Debra A. – Language Teaching, 2023
In this paper, I argue for expanding language socialization research on the academic discourse socialization of speakers of English as an additional language to less-commonly researched settings outside of English-dominant countries. Following an overview of some theoretical and methodological issues involved in conducting such research, I lay out…

Dewaele, Jean-Marc; Saito, Kazuya; Halimi, Florentina – Applied Linguistics, 2023
The current study contributes to the recent debate on the question whether learner emotions can be intrinsically motivating or whether they are no more than diffuse action tendencies (Dörnyei 2020). Adopting a longitudinal approach, we combined repeated analysis of variances and mixed effects modelling to capture interactions between Foreign…

The Causal Relationship between Learner Motivation and Language Achievement: New Dynamic Perspective
Alamer, Abdullah; Alrabai, Fakieh – Applied Linguistics, 2023
It is well known that successful second language (L2) learners are motivated individuals. Accordingly, L2 researchers have tested the predictive power of different motivational constructs on language learning outcomes. However, this perspective appears to neglect the assessment of achievement as a predictor of future motivation. To assess this…

Turkpenova, Dinara – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Motivation and a positive attitude play a decisive role in learning any foreign language. This study aims to investigate the motivation behind learning Chinese language in Central Asia and Russia and to identify the main problems related to mastering this language in those countries. The study draws on an anonymous questionnaire survey involving…

Higham, Philip A.; Fastrich, Greta M.; Potts, Rosalind; Murayama, Kou; Pickering, Jade S.; Hadwin, Julie A. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
We investigated spaced retrieval and restudying in 3 preregistered, online experiments. In all experiments, participants studied 40 Swahili-English word pair translations during an initial study phase, restudied intact pairs or attempted to retrieve the English words to Swahili cues twice in three spaced practice sessions, and then completed a…

Inceoglu, Solène; Chen, Wen-Hsin; Lim, Hyojung – ReCALL, 2023
An increasing number of studies are exploring the benefits of automatic speech recognition (ASR)-based dictation programs for second language (L2) pronunciation learning (e.g. Chen, Inceoglu & Lim, 2020; Liakin, Cardoso & Liakina, 2015; McCrocklin, 2019), but how ASR recognizes accented speech and the nature of the feedback it provides to…
