Rufan Luo; Lulu Song; Aniyah Davis-Hilton; Sarah Surrain – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
Despite a rapid growth in the number of dual language learning children (DLLs) in the United States, there is a limited understanding of what parents of DLLs believe and know about dual language learning and education, and how parental beliefs and knowledge relate to children's dual language experiences at home. In the current study, 225 parents…

Elizabeth D. Peña; Lisa M. Bedore; Alejandro Granados Vargas – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Bilingual children are both over- and under-identified with developmental language disorder (DLD). We propose that this may be a function of monolingual approaches that fail to consider the dynamic nature of bilingualism as well as assumptions of bilingual delay. We explored the extent to which bilingual children with and without DLD…

Jonathan Avila – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Current speech-to-speech translation systems face challenges in effectively translating the nuances of prosody, which plays a pivotal role in conveying speaker intent and stance in dialog. This limitation restricts cross-lingual communication, especially in situations demanding deeper interpersonal understanding. To address this, this research…

Nia Nickerson; Xin Sun; Valeria Caruso; Kehui Zhang; Chi-Lin Yu; Rachel Eggleston; Natasha Chaku; Xiaosu Hu; Teresa Satterfield; Ioulia Kovelman – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Phonological awareness is the stepping-stone to learning to read as it helps children map language sounds onto letters. Theories of bilingualism posit that phonological awareness is a language-common literacy skill. However, bilingual learners are also thought to build language-specific representations. To illuminate common and specific…

Yu Fen Wei; Wen Wen Yang; Gary Oppenheim; Jie Hui Hu; Guillaume Thierry – Language Learning, 2024
Embodied cognition posits that processing concepts requires sensorimotor activation. Previous research has shown that perceived power is spatially embodied along the vertical axis. However, it is unclear whether such mapping applies equally in the two languages of bilinguals. Using event-related potentials, we compared spatial embodiment…

Lisa M. Domke – Reading Psychology, 2024
Dual-language books' (DLBs) two-language format could support biliteracy development, but little is known about how children read them. Fifty-four third and fifth graders read aloud DLBs with English or Spanish first on each page to determine DLBs' potential affordances. Although there were no significant differences in oral reading fluency or…

Tim Joris Laméris; Maki Kubota; Tanja Kupisch; Jennifer Cabrelli; Neal Snape; Jason Rothman – Second Language Research, 2025
Few studies have examined global foreign accent (GFA) in bilingual children, and little is known about how GFA changes over time and what factors determine change. Here, we examine GFA trajectories in Japanese-English bilingual returnees (Japanese children who returned to Japan after having lived in a majority English environment for several…

Based on the bilingual children's and adults' code-switching (CS) dependency treebanks, this paper investigates the syntactic features and pragmatic functions of the Chinese-English bilingual children's CS and compares them with bilingual adults'. It is mainly found that (1) As to the bilingual children, the mixed sentences present the longest…

Alejandro Granados Vargas; Elizabeth D. Peña; Lisa M. Bedore – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Aims: We investigate the relationship between narrative macrostructure, current language exposure, and microstructure in second-grade Spanish-English bilingual children in the United States. Macrostructure knowledge has been claimed to be shared across languages in multilingual individuals. We examine the role of current language exposure and…

Lynn Cohen – American Journal of Play, 2023
The author argues that play always occurs within a social context and in relation to the various cultures that coexist within the classroom and the school setting. She uses Vygotsky's definition of play as dramatic or make-believe play for preschool children, and she applies Vygotskian and post-Vygotskian theories, including Daniil Elkonin's…

Zhijun Zheng; Sheila Degotardi; Emilia Djonov – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Many bilingual infants attend early childhood education centres (ECEC) with their monolingual peers. However, recent evidence reveals that bilingual infants vocalise significantly less than monolingual infants in ECEC settings (Zheng et al. 2023) [Effects of Multilingualism on Australian Infants' Language Environments in Early Childhood Education…

This article examines young children's perceptions and ideas about their emergent bilingualism drawing on data from an ethnographic case study of the language development of a Head Start classroom. The purpose of this study was to examine the language practices of 4-year-olds in a bilingual (Spanish/English) classroom. The findings discussed in…

Mitch Ingram – Bilingual Research Journal, 2024
In this article I examine the perceptions of third grade minoritized emergent bilinguals (Spanish/English) in a US classroom as they articulate how family members serve as a source of jocularity. By taking a sociocultural perspective on humor as a resource, I seek to render visible the relational and linguistic connections between these students…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Fitton, Lisa; Thayer, Lauren – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
Understanding factors that influence reading achievement among bilingual children is considerably more complex than it is for monolingual children. Research on dual language development indicates that bilingual children's oral language abilities are often distributed across languages in varied ways, due to heterogeneity of dual language exposure…
