Liao, Jianling – Foreign Language Annals, 2023
The current study investigated disfluency and self-repair in L2 presentational and interpersonal speech to determine whether speech modes may affect L2 self-repair. Knowledge of self-initiated repair behavior in L2 speech is particularly relevant for understanding psycholinguistic processes of L2 speech production. Different speech modes, such as…

Both educators and students in the United States feel the continuous pressure to improve achievement scores as a form of validation for their work and success. However, emerging bilingual (EBs) learners encounter barriers within assessments that break the assumptions of validity, reliability, and fairness and prevent them from demonstrating their…

Hessel, Annina K.; Strand, Steve – Educational Review, 2023
We compared two tools that have been used to capture the linguistic heterogeneity and achievement of students in England: the exposure-based distinction between English as an additional language (EAL) and monolingual learners, and the 2017--2018 five level teacher rating of proficiency in English (from "New to English" to…

Kimura, Daisuke – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2023
This article traces the intellectual roots and developments of the notion of competence in second language (L2) teaching and research.

Many candidates undertaking high-stakes English language proficiency tests for academic enrolment do not achieve the results they need for reasons including linguistic unreadiness, test unpreparedness, illness, an unfavourable configuration of tasks, or administrative and marking errors. Owing to the importance of meeting goals or out of a belief…

American…

Chang-Bacon, Chris K.; Salerno, April S. – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2023
Neo-national ideologies are often associated with despots and political extremists. Yet, we argue that neo-nationalist discourses also manifest in everyday TESOL classroom interactions. In English-dominant contexts, teachers send potent messages about who does or does not "belong" in classrooms, largely based on racialized notions of…

Rintaro Sato – TESL-EJ, 2023
Maximizing English as a foreign language (EFL) students' use of their second language (L2), minimizing native language (L1) can help them to develop L2 proficiency. In the monolingual approach, the exclusion of L1 is preferred. However, students' use of their first language (L1) in code-switching or translanguaging can be advantageous. This study…
