Luiselli, James K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
From 2016 to 2022, the "Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis" published 7 studies that evaluated the effects of habit reversal training on speech disfluencies (filled pauses) during public speaking. This review summarizes the participants, dependent variables, procedures, experimental design, and outcomes from this research including…

Pattharaporn Wathawatthana; Narueta Hongsa; Purachai Phonchad; Thaksin Thambunrueang – International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, 2025
Teaching speaking skills to EFL learners remains a significant challenge, often hindered by traditional methods that prioritize rote learning over meaningful communication. This study investigates the impact of communicative language teaching (CLT) on the speaking skills of Grade 12 students, while also exploring their attitudes toward this…

Francisca Lazcano-Santibáñez; Nataly Valeria Quezada-Telles – HOW, 2025
This study adopted an action research design to analyze the contribution of the Elevator Pitch technique on English as foreign language learners' oral fluency. Six 11th graders in a rural at-risk context in a vocational public high school in Hualqui, Chile participated in this study. The Elevator Pitch technique was implemented during seven…

Gravelin, Anna C.; Archer, Brent; Oddo, Mary; Whitfield, Jason A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Extemporaneous speech tasks provide an ecologically valid sample to examine speech acoustics, but differing methodologies exist in the literature for segmentation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the utility and reliability of a segmentation approach for extemporaneous speech specified by systemic functional…

Hanzawa, Keiko; Suzuki, Yuichi – Modern Language Journal, 2023
While task repetition is effective for improving oral fluency, some teachers are reluctant to use it in their classrooms due to the alleged negative perceptions of learners toward repetitive practice. To address this concern, the participants in the current study completed a posttask questionnaire probing their perceptions toward task repetition…

Unger, Layla; Yim, Hyungwook; Savic, Olivera; Dennis, Simon; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Developmental Science, 2023
Recent years have seen a flourishing of Natural Language Processing models that can mimic many aspects of human language fluency. These models harness a simple, decades-old idea: It is possible to learn a lot about word meanings just from exposure to language, because words similar in meaning are used in language in similar ways. The successes of…

Balikçi, Gözde; Seferoglu, Gölge – Classroom Discourse, 2023
Searching for unknown words is a common interactional practice of learners in EFL classrooms. Language teachers exploit learner-initiated word searches in several ways to promote learning opportunities. However, it can be more challenging for pre-service teachers during their teaching practicum, as it is their first contact with students in a real…

Jiaqiang Zhu; Jing Shao; Caicai Zhang; Fei Chen; Seth Wiener – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that individuals who stutter exhibit abnormal speech perception in addition to disfluent production as compared with their nonstuttering peers. This study investigated whether adult Chinese-speaking stutterers are still able to use knowledge of statistical regularities embedded in their native language to…

Norro, Soili – Language and Education, 2023
Societal language ideologies affect language education policy implementation through teachers' beliefs, which in turn influence their pedagogical decisions and practices. Understanding the relationship between language ideologies and teachers' beliefs is crucial in multilingual contexts in postcolonial countries such as Namibia. This study…

M. P. Agustín-Llach; J. Rubio – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
This paper examines the implications of the association patterns in our understanding of the mental lexicon. By applying the principles of graph theory to word association data, we intend to explore which measures tap better into lexical knowledge. To that end, we had different groups of English as Foreign language learners complete a lexical…

Maryam Heidari Vincheh; Azizullah Mirzaei; Ali Roohani – Language Testing in Asia, 2024
Although the IELTS speaking test assesses English verbal-communication competence accurately and reliably, its traditional, retroactive scoring framework stops short of providing detailed diagnostic information about individual test-takers' specific domains of proficiency or deficiency. This study employed a cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA)…

Background: Although considerable research has been conducted on post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS), cognitive symptoms, particularly those related to language, are still not well understood. Aims: To provide a detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of language performance in PCS patients using a comprehensive set of semantic and verbal…

Jie Zhang – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2024
This paper explores the development of an intelligent translation system for spoken English using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models. The fundamental principles of RNNs and their advantages in processing sequential data, particularly in handling time-dependent natural language data, are discussed. The methodology for constructing the…

Punyapa Boontam; Supakorn Phoocharoensil – PASAA: Journal of Language Teaching and Learning in Thailand, 2024
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of data-driven learning (DDL) in L2 writing instruction. This paper examined whether and to what extent DDL activities could enhance the writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of 30 Thai EFL learners. The presentation of DDL in this study was hands-on concordancing with the…

Sanna Olkkonen; Patrick Snellings; Outi Veivo; Pekka Lintunen – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The fluency of second language (L2) speech can be influenced by L2 proficiency, but also by differences in the efficiency of cognitive operations and personal speaking styles. The nature of cognitive fluency is still, however, little understood. Therefore, we studied the cognitive fluency of Finnish advanced students of English (N = 64) to…
