Choi, Seohyun; Kim, Dongsik; Jung, Jaewon – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2021
Emphasis manipulation is a way to help learners by directing their attention to particular subcomponents of a learning task. This study investigated the effects of different approaches to emphasis manipulation on knowledge transfer and cognitive load. This was done by examining the impact of three task selection strategies: system-controlled,…

Qassim, Tabarek Ali; Abbas, Nawal Fadhel; Ahmed, Fatima Falih; Hameed, Sura – Arab World English Journal, 2021
In the framework of this study, the phenomenon of transfer is probed pragma-linguistically and socio-linguistically concerning marriage situations among Iraqi EFL learners. The study also strives to look at the refusal strategies most commonly employed by Iraqi female English as a foreign Language (EFL) learners compared to their counterparts,…

Mazachowsky, Tessa R.; Hamilton, Colin; Mahy, Caitlin E. V. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
Remembering to carry out intended actions in the future, known as prospective memory (PM), is an important cognitive ability. In daily life, individuals remember to perform future tasks that might rely on effortful processes (monitoring) but also habitual tasks that might rely on more automatic processes. The development of PM across childhood in…

McLellan, Gillian; Kartchava, Eva; Rodgers, Michael – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2021
Newcomers to Canada with low proficiency in English or French often face challenges in the workforce (Kustec, 2012). While language classes provide workplace language training, not all newcomers are able to attend face-to-face classes (Shaffir & Satzewich, 2010), suggesting a need for outside the classroom, occupation-specific language…

Lomicka, Lara; Ducate, Lara – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2021
While intercultural learning is a key goal of study abroad, it is often difficult to assess or even achieve. Recent models, such as linguistic landscapes (which looks at the language of public signs, including road signs, advertising billboards, street, and place names), can help students reflect on and make sense of their intercultural…

Hidalgo, María Ángeles; García Mayo, María del Pilar – Language Teaching Research, 2021
Task repetition (TR) is a valuable tool to direct learners' attention from meaning to language form. The first time learners perform a task their focus is on conveying meaning, whereas during the second enactment they tend to focus on the form of their message. Collaborative writing also promotes learners' focus on form, allowing extra time to pay…

Bianco, Federica; Lombardi, Elisabetta; Lecce, Serena; Marchetti, Antonella; Massaro, Davide; Valle, Annalisa; Castelli, Ilaria – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
The present study evaluated: (1) the effects of two training programs designed for promoting Theory of Mind (ToM) skills in children aged 7/8; and (2) the relations between second-order recursive thinking (II-order-RT), advanced-ToM (Adv_ToM) and metacognition. Ninety-one 7- to 8-year-old children were assigned to one of three training conditions:…

Krause, Uwe; Budke, Alexandra; Maier, Veit – Education Sciences, 2021
Setting tasks plays a key role in geography lessons, as they enable students to engage with the subject content, guide lessons towards predefined learning outcomes, and are therefore important for assessment. At the same time, the use of tasks is complex as numerous aspects regarding the content and the students have to be taken into account.…

Tatz, Joshua R.; Undorf, Monika; Peynircioglu, Zehra F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
According to the principle of inverse effectiveness (PIE), weaker responses to information in one modality (i.e., unisensory) benefit more from additional information in a second modality (i.e., multisensory; Meredith & Stein, 1986). We suggest that the PIE may also inform whether perceptual fluency affects judgments of learning (JOLs). If…

Choi, Jin Soo – Applied Language Learning, 2021
This study examined the impact of the manipulated task complexity (Robinson 2001a, 2001b, 2007, 2011; Robinson & Gilabert, 2007) on second language (L2) speech comprehensibility. I examined whether manipulated task complexity (a) impacts L2 speech comprehensibility, (b) aligns with L2 speakers' perception of task difficulty (cognitive…

Lázaro-Ibarrola, Amparo; Villarreal, Izaskun – International Journal of English Studies, 2021
Studies on multi-stage writing tasks with adults and children have shown that model texts and task repetition aid language acquisition, especially when learners work in collaboration. However, these studies have not included measures of task motivation, which is vital in young learners (YLs) and could help develop a more comprehensive…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Tock, Jamie – Grantee Submission, 2021
Background: Middle school students use the information conveyed by morphemes (i.e., units of meaning such as prefixes, root words and suffixes) in different ways to support their literacy endeavours, suggesting the likelihood that morphological knowledge is multidimensional. This has important implications for assessment. Methods: The current…

Roux, Lisa; Dagorret, Pantxika; Etcheverry, Patrick; Nodenot, Thierry; Marquesuzaa, Christophe; Lopisteguy, Philippe – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
Distance computer-assisted learning is increasingly common, owing largely to the expansion and development of e-technology. Nevertheless, the available tools of the learning platforms have demonstrated their limits during the pandemic context, since many students, who were used to "face-to-face" education, got discouraged and dropped out…
