Rönnberg, Jerker; Holmer, Emil; Rudner, Mary – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conceptualize the subtle balancing act between language input and prediction (cognitive priming of future input) to achieve understanding of communicated content. When understanding fails, reconstructive post-diction is initiated. Three memory systems play important roles: working memory (WM), episodic…

Sharwood Smith, Michael – Second Language Research, 2021
Westergaard's microcue account raises the question of the exact nature of language transfer in the acquisition of languages as well of how L1/Ln input interacts with the principles of universal grammar (UG) during processing. In order to consider in more detail the actual representation building, processing mechanisms that would be involved, her…

Cabrelli, Jennifer; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi – Second Language Research, 2021
When we think of the debates surrounding linguistic transfer in L3 acquisition, one of the most prominent discussions concerns whether transfer occurs in a wholesale fashion or whether it is property-by-property. One such model is the Linguistic Proximity Model (LPM, Mykhaylyk et al., 2015; Westergaard et al., 2017; Westergaard, 2021), which…

Anderson, Nina J.; Graham, Susan A.; Prime, Heather; Jenkins, Jennifer M.; Madigan, Sheri – Child Development, 2021
This meta-analysis examined associations between the quantity and quality of parental linguistic input and children's language. Pooled effect size for quality (i.e., vocabulary diversity and syntactic complexity; k = 35; N = 1,958; r = .33) was more robust than for quantity (i.e., number of words/tokens/utterances; k = 33; N = 1,411; r = .20) of…

Candarli, Duygu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study examined the trajectories of the multi-word constructions (MWCs) in 98 advanced second language (L2) learners during their first-year at an English-medium university in a non-English-speaking country, using linear mixed-effects modelling, over one academic year. In addition, this study traced the academic reading input that L2 learners…

González-Bueno, Manuela – Applied Language Learning, 2021
A new technique to teach language grammar is proposed. It consists of the blending of two previously existing techniques--VanPatten's (1996) Processing Instruction (PI) and Adair-Hauck and Donato's (2002) Presentation, Attention, Co-construct, and Extension (PACE) Model. The result is the S-PACE Model, which incorporates the whole-language…

Søren W. Eskildsen – Educational Linguistics, 2021
This chapter focuses on the intricate relationship between situated embodied actions, social classroom practices, and second language (L2) learning as an important emerging issue in CA perspectives on classroom discourse and interaction. I investigate how a series of classroom activities becomes established as a recurring routine and how a…

Valentini, Alessandra; Serratrice, Ludovica – Language Learning, 2023
Research on monolingual children has shown that listening comprehension is predicted by a range of language and cognitive skills; less is known about predictors of listening comprehension in bilingual children and about the role of language input. This study presents longitudinal data on predictors of English listening comprehension in 100…

Fedzechkina, Masha; Hall Hartley, Lucy; Roberts, Gareth – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
Language is subject to a variety of pressures. Recent work has documented that many aspects of language structure have properties that appear to be shaped by biases for the efficient communication of semantic meaning. Other work has investigated the role of social pressures, whereby linguistic variants can acquire positive or negative evaluation…

Benati, Alessandro – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2023
This paper makes a strong connection between the need for innovation in second language pedagogy and the need for language teachers to develop a good understanding of how language develops in our minds/brains. The future for innovative language pedagogy requires that language teachers fully develop the following: (i) a working definition of the…

Ní Dhiorbháin, Aisling – Teaching Education, 2023
Explicit knowledge of language is posited as a core component of language teachers' professional knowledge, as it impacts on their classroom practice, cognition and professional reflection. In response to a sociocultural turn in teacher education, this paper presents a sociocultural rationale for the implementation of an explicit-inductive…

Brandon L. Westengard – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2023
Languages have played a significant role in the shaping of theological and religious leaders. Historically consisting mostly of biblical and ancient languages, contemporary theological education includes the study of modern foreign languages for research and ministerial purposes. If written and spoken communication in a variety of languages is a…

Szreder, Marta; de Ruiter, Laura E.; Ntelitheos, Dimitrios – Journal of Child Language, 2022
This study investigates the acquisition of the Imperfective verb inflection paradigm in Emirati Arabic (EA), to determine whether the learning process is sensitive to the phonological and typological properties of the input. We collected data from 48 participants aged 2;7 to 5;9 years, using an elicited production paradigm. Input frequencies of…

Alam, Florencia; Rosemberg, Celia Renata; Garber, Leandro; Stein, Alejandra – Journal of Child Language, 2022
The study adopts a naturalistic perspective, looking at the relationship between socio-economic status (SES), activities and variation sets in child-directed speech (CDS) to Spanish-speaking Argentinian toddlers. It aims to determine the effect of SES and type of activity on the proportion of words and utterances in variation sets and on the…

White, Lydia – Language Teaching, 2022
Research on second language (L2) acquisition in the generative tradition (GenSLA) addresses the nature of interlanguage competence, examining the roles of Universal Grammar, the mother tongue and the input in shaping the acquisition, representation and use of second languages. This field is sometimes dismissed by applied linguists as irrelevant…
