Antje Stoehr; Mina Jevtovic; Angela de Bruin; Clara D. Martin – Language Learning, 2024
A central question in multilingualism research is how multiple languages interact. Most studies have focused on first (L1) and second language (L2) effects on a third language (L3), but a small number of studies dedicated to the opposite transfer direction have suggested stronger L3 influence on L2 than on L1 in postpuberty learners. In our study,…

Dang, Thi Ngoc Yen; Coxhead, Averil; Webb, Stuart – Language Learning, 2017
The linguistic features of academic spoken English are different from those of academic written English. Therefore, for this study, an Academic Spoken Word List (ASWL) was developed and validated to help second language (L2) learners enhance their comprehension of academic speech in English-medium universities. The ASWL contains 1,741 word…

This study compared receptive English grammar skills of two groups of 7- and 9-year-old Danish children at the beginning of second language (L2) instruction in English, and two groups of Spanish/Catalan children of the same age after several years of instruction. The study examined the influence of two language-related factors (receptive…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; August, Diane; Calderon, Margarita – Language Learning, 2015
The current study unites multiple theories (i.e., the orthographic depth hypothesis and linguistic grain size theory, the simple view of reading, and the common underlying proficiency model) to explore differences in how 113 fourth-grade Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) approached reading in their native language of Spanish, which is…

Koda, Keiko – Language Learning, 2007

It is hardly accidental, therefore, that, in all languages, reading builds on oral language competence and that learning to read uniformly requires…
