Paul Meara – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
This paper reports a bibliometric analysis of two small data sets: a set of 34 papers that make up "The Routledge handbook of vocabulary studies" (Webb, 2020) and a set of papers dealing with second language (L2) vocabulary research taken from a single journal "Frontiers in Psychology." Bibliometric maps based on author…

Sydney Dickerson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This investigation examined the effectiveness of different types of explicit classroom instruction on second language (L2) development of the Spanish discourse marker (DM) "pues." While several studies have addressed the positive effect of explicit instruction on L2 DM development, the current investigation moves beyond the…

Kyle Parrish – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The present dissertation examined the initial state of L3 phonology in native speakers of French and German who were Spanish-English bilinguals. The present work analyzed perception (Chapter 3), production (Chapter 4) and the perception production interface (Chapter 5). The results revealed that these bilinguals are influenced by both of their…

Adam Buchwald; Hung-Shao Cheng – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Nonnative consonant cluster learning has become a useful experimental approach for learning about speech motor learning, and we sought to enhance our understanding of this area and to establish best practices for this type of research. Method: One hundred twenty individuals completed a nonnative consonant cluster learning task within a…

Kim, Kathy MinHye; Maie, Ryo; Suga, Kiyo; Miller, Zachary F.; Hui, Bronson – Language Learning, 2023
This study addresses the role of awareness in learning and the variables that may facilitate adult second language (L2) implicit learning. We replicated Williams's (2005) study with a similar group of academic learners enrolled at university as well as a group of non-college-educated adults in order to explore the generalizability of the findings…

Hyojin Jeong; Robert DeKeyser – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This study examined the development of automaticity in processing L2 collocations, and the roles of L1 collocational knowledge and practice conditions in the development process. Korean learners of English were assigned to one of two practice conditions (practice in identical or varied contexts). The learning gains for word combinations with and…

Shaofeng Li – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
This article reports on a comprehensive synthesis of the literature on the role of working memory in second language (L2) writing. It starts with an overview and clarification of the construct and measurement of working memory, followed by an elaboration of major theoretical models informing the synthesized research. The article then presents a…

Lee, Jung-Chieh; Xiong, Liangnan – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) applications (apps) can provide users with personalized learning content to meet their learning needs. Besides, from the learner perspective, the apps can be regarded as 'social' individuals, like anthropomorphic instructors who offer social support to help them with language learning. However, the current…

Ni, Chuanbin; Jin, Xiaobing – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
In two experiments, we tested whether using a foreign language attenuates neophobia at the lexical (Experiment 1) and discoursal (Experiment 2) levels in comparison to using a native language. A total of 687 native Chinese speakers participated in Experiment 1, and 693 in Experiment 2. All of them learned English as a foreign language. They…

Çelik, Halit – African Educational Research Journal, 2022
Cultural elements in teaching Turkish as a foreign language should be given as a whole, inseparable from basic language skills. What the cultural elements are is expressed in various frame texts. Culture is a reflection of an ancient accumulation that reflects a nation. In this respect, the sources to be addressed in the transfer of culture should…

Nagle, Charles L.; Trofimovich, Pavel; O'Brien, Mary Grantham; Kennedy, Sara – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
Comprehensibility, or ease of understanding, has emerged as an important construct in second language (L2) speech research. Many studies have examined the linguistic features that underlie this construct, but there has been limited work on behavioral and affective predictors. The goal of this study was therefore to examine the extent to which…

Kim, Hyein Amber – International Journal of Higher Education, 2022
This study explored the experiences of peer tutors of a Korean language peer tutoring program at a U.S. university. Using qualitative methodology and gathering data from pre- and post-tutorial program individual interviews, monthly in-program group interviews, and reflective papers, this study aimed to investigate experiences of eight Korean…

Huensch, Amanda; Nagle, Charlie – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
This report examines the potential impacts of task and proficiency on listener judgments of intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness in L2 Spanish. This study extends Huensch and Nagle ["Language Learning," 71, 626-668, (2021)], who explored the partial independence among the global speech dimensions for speech samples taken…

Haerim Hwang – Written Communication, 2025
The use of subordination enables language users to achieve syntactic efficiency by allowing them to connect ideas in temporal/logical relation. Although the importance of subordination has been recognized in previous research on second language (L2) writing, it has been typically assessed with global indices that measure overall ratio of…

Kaixuan Gong; Hongmei Pang – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2025
Research on English for academic purposes (EAP) has mainly adopted a product-oriented view, but rather rarely observed academic writing as a learning process. From the socio-cognitive perspective of learning, the present study investigated first-year EAP learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies for and beliefs about academic writing and…
