Toward a Theory-Based Account of the L2 Vocabulary Processing and Learning Benefits of Reading While Listening
Direct linkDirect link
Jonathan Edward Malone – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The tantalizing prospects of learning benefits from multimodal conditions on second language (L2) learning in general, and L2 vocabulary development in particular, have important implications. Indeed, opening a language learning app on any device provides the immediate experience of simultaneous input modalities, and a wide range of input types.…

A Meta-Analysis of Sensitivity to Grammatical Information during Self-Paced Reading: Towards a Framework of Reference for Reading Time Effect Sizes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Avery, Nick; Marsden, Emma – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2019
Despite extensive theoretical and empirical research, we do not have estimations of the magnitude of sensitivity to grammatical information during L2 online processing. This is largely due to reliance on null hypothesis significance testing (Plonsky, 2015). The current meta-analysis draws on data from one elicitation technique, self-paced reading,…

Grammatical Aspect and L2 Learners' Online Processing of Temporarily Ambiguous Sentences in English: A Self-Paced Reading Study with German, Dutch and French L2 Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roberts, Leah; Liszka, Sarah Ann – Second Language Research, 2021
The results of a self-paced reading study with advanced German, Dutch and French second language (L2) learners of English showed that their online comprehension of early closure (EC) sentences which are initially misanalysed by native English speakers (e.g. "While John hunted the frightened rabbit escaped") was affected by whether or…

Grammatical Predictions in Spanish-English Bilinguals and Spanish-Language Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

de los Santos, Guadalupe; Boland, Julie E.; Lewis, Richard L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Although bilingual individuals know 2 languages, research suggests that the languages are not separate in the mind. This is especially evident when a bilingual individual switches languages midsentence, indicating that mental representations are, to some degree, overlapping or integrated across the 2 languages. In 2 eye-tracking experiments, we…

The Role of Orthotactic Probability in Incidental and Intentional Vocabulary Acquisition L1 and L2
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bordag, Denisa; Kirschenbaum, Amit; Rogahn, Maria; Tschirner, Erwin – Second Language Research, 2017
Four experiments were conducted to examine the role of orthotactic probability, i.e. the sequential letter probability, in the early stages of vocabulary acquisition by adult native speakers and advanced learners of German. The results show different effects for orthographic probability in incidental and intentional vocabulary acquisition: Whereas…

Exposure Frequency in L2 Reading: An Eye-Movement Perspective of Incidental Vocabulary Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mohamed, Ayman A. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2018
The present study brings together methods of extensive reading studies and eye-movement research to track the cognitive effects of exposure frequency on vocabulary processing and learning. Forty-two advanced second language learners of English read a stage 1 graded reader, "Goodbye Mr. Hollywood," on a computer screen while their eye…
