Tudini, Vincenza – Language Learning Journal, 2018
University students who enrol in foreign language (FL) programmes are motivated by various needs, but in particular the need to achieve communicative fluency, which generally requires interaction with others.

Swan, Anne P. A. – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2013
This paper asserts that English teachers' understanding of their professionalism enables them to "put the learner in the spotlight" through their highly-developed awareness of local contexts of English use. Changing attitudes to English language teacher identity include a revaluation of the "native-non-native speaker" dichotomy…

Bundgaard-Nielsen, Rikke L.; Best, Catherine T.; Kroos, Christian; Tyler, Michael D. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
This paper tests the predictions of the vocabulary-tuning model of second language (L2) rephonologization in the domain of L2 segmental production. This model proposes a facilitating effect of adults' L2 vocabulary expansion on L2 perception and production and suggests that early improvements in L2 segmental production may be positively associated…

Singh, Michael – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2011
Chinese is now a global language because of the global flow of Chinese people throughout the world. This development provides an important intellectual basis for engaging in the transnational exchange of Chinese theoretical knowledge. The argument developed here is that learning from international (and migrant) research students from China is a…

Demont-Heinrich, Christof – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2012
This article looks at how mother-tongue English speakers and those who do not have English as a mother tongue discuss the complex questions that swirl around the "global" hegemony of English when given an opportunity to discuss these "directly" with one another. The article does so via an analysis of a series of online…

Mushin, Ilana; Gardner, Rod; Munro, Jennifer M. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2013
In classrooms tests, students are regularly required to demonstrate their understanding of mathematical concepts. When children encounter problems in demonstrating such understanding, it is often not clear whether this is because of the language of the teachers' questions and instructions or a genuine non-understanding of the concept itself. This…
