Chen, Wenting – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2019
While research into the potential benefits of second or foreign language (L2 or FL) collaborative writing for jointly written texts has proliferated in the last few decades, it remains unclear whether texts that learners compose individually after such activities demonstrate improved quality, accuracy, fluency, and complexity. This study compares…

Izquierdo, Jesus; Kihlstedt, Maria – Modern Language Journal, 2019
Through either morphological or functional approaches, previous research has examined how instructed second language (L2) learners develop control over a challenging area of French: the use of the "imparfait." In order to better understand this challenge, this cross-sectional study utilized both approaches and examined how 94 university…

Lowie, Wander M.; Verspoor, Marjolijn H. – Language Learning, 2019
Traditional research into individual differences (ID) in second language (L2) learning is based on group studies with the implicit assumption that findings can be generalized to the individual. In this article, we challenge this view. We argue that L2 learners do not form ergodic ensembles and that language learning data lack stability. The data…

Chen, Tianxu – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Lexical inference refers to the ability to make informed guesses about the meaning of an unknown word. This inferencing ability is affected by learner-related (i.e., morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge) and language-related (i.e., word semantic transparency) factors. Previous studies have shown that these factors play independent…

Storch, Neomy – Language Teaching, 2019
Writing has generally been perceived as a solitary activity, completed by the writer working alone. Yet, over the years we have witnessed a growing interest among researchers and educators in Collaborative Writing, an activity that can be simply defined as the involvement of two or more writers in the production of a single text. This interest has…

Babatsouli, Elena; Nicoladis, Elena – Journal of Child Language, 2019
Previous research in child language shows that many aspects of language acquisition are frequency-linked. This study tests whether input or usage frequency predicts the order of acquisition and accuracy of a bilingual Greek-English child's English possessives. The child was followed longitudinally from age 2;6 to 3;11. Order of acquisition was…

Ortega, Lourdes – Modern Language Journal, 2019
The Douglas Fir Group (2016) sought to articulate a transdisciplinary agenda for SLA but said little about multilingualism specifically. Moreover, many multilinguals are under siege in a worrisome world where threats to human difference have risen to the mainstream in the aftermath of Brexit and the 2016 U.S. presidential election. I argue that…

Park, Mi Sun – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Communication in a second or multiple languages has become essential in the globalized world. However, acquiring a second language (L2) after a critical period is universally acknowledged to be challenging (Lenneberg, 1967). Late learners hardly reach a nativelike level in L2, particularly in its pronunciation, and their incomplete phonological…

Al-Kaisi, Alisa N.; Arkhangelskaya, Alla L.; Rudenko-Morgun, Olga I. – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Students learning a new language are aided by the use of a voice assistant when practicing speech, as it allows them to intensify their independent studies and master the elementary level of a foreign language. Moreover, the didactic potential of the Russian voice assistant "Alice" has hardly been studied in the context of teaching a…

Nagle, Charles L. – Language Learning, 2021
Models of L2 pronunciation learning have hypothesized that accurate speech perception promotes accurate speech production. This claim can be evaluated longitudinally by examining the extent to which changes in stop consonant perception predict changes in stop consonant production. Taking a time-sensitive view of the perception-production link,…

Park, Eunjeong; Yi, Youngjoo; Jang, Jinsil – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
In the field of second language (L2) writing, we have recently seen "a collective future trend towards methodological diversity and expansion of repertoires of research methods and approaches" (Manch?n & Matsuda, 2016, p. 9). In responding to the call for methodological diversity, we set out to explore mixed methods research…
