Roseberry-McKibbin, Celeste – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
The growing number of English Learners (ELs) in American schools has led to increasing referrals of these students for special education, including speech-language services.

Kutuk, Gulsah; Putwain, David W.; Kaye, Linda K.; Garrett, Bethan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Gender stereotyping of academic domains has long been a major issue in education. However, previous research has mainly focused on male-dominated fields and women's disadvantage in such fields. Little attention has been paid to the fields of study, such as foreign language learning, which are typically stereotyped as female domains.…

Rose, Céline – L2 Journal, 2022
Several researchers (e.g., Allen & Paesani, 2010; Maxim, 2009; MLA Report, 2007) argue that the language-literature divide limits language development in many foreign language departments and that the speaking skill is the most affected by this common two-tiered curriculum (Swender, 2003). This study investigates the implementation of the…

This exploratory study (N = 55) of college of education students at a university in metropolitan Seoul, South Korea, using survey data, used: (1)…

de la Fuente, María J.; Goldenberg, Carola – Language Teaching Research, 2022
This study investigated whether second language (L2) classroom instruction that incorporates a principled approach into the use of the first language (L1) by students and instructors has an effect on beginning learners' development of L2 speaking and writing proficiency, compared to L2-only instruction, over the course of one semester.…

Nicoladis, Elena; Gourlay, Haylee – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2022
Adults, preschool children, and infants gesture more with their right hand than with their left hand. Since gestures and speech are related in production, it is possible that this right-hand preference reflects left-hemisphere lateralization for gestures and speech. The primary purpose of the present study was to test if children between the ages…

Hetcherla,Narendra Kumar – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
A language 'test' is a systematic procedure for observing a person's behavior and describing it with the aid of a numerical scale or category system (Cronbach LJ 1971: 26). A test cannot be based on a selection of items chosen on linguistic grounds alone, and that to devise an effective test, it is necessary to specify how an examinee requires to…

Nicoladis, Elena; Chan, Pui Ting – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Bilinguals can be proficient in oral language without necessarily knowing how to read and write in at least one of their languages. Literacy has been shown to affect language processing in monolinguals. In the present study, we test if literacy affects grammaticality judgments for Cantonese-English bilinguals who varied in Chinese literacy…
