Maxime Van Raemdonck; Robyn Tyler; Piet Van Avermaet; Wendelien Vantieghem – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2024
Over the past two decades, heightened migration has increased linguistic diversity in schools. For schools to cope with this multilingualism, many governments impose a monolingual policy where only the language of instruction is allowed. Although many schools adopt such a policy, the classroom practices may differ since multilingual students often…

Huanhuan Shi; Angela Xiaoxue He; Hyun-Joo Song; Kyong-Sun Jin; Sudha Arunachalam – Language Learning and Development, 2024
To learn new words, particularly verbs, child learners have been shown to benefit from the linguistic contexts in which the words appear. However, cross-linguistic differences affect how this process unfolds. One previous study found that children's abilities to learn a new verb differed across Korean and English as a function of the sentence in…

Irena Lovcevic; Denis Burnham; Marina Kalashnikova – Language Learning and Development, 2024
There is a long-standing debate in the literature about the benefits that acoustic components of Infant Directed Speech (IDS) might have for infants' language acquisition. One of the highly contested features is vowel space expansion, which refers to the enlargement of the acoustic space between the corner vowels /i, u, a/ in IDS compared to Adult…

Irfan Tosuncuoglu – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2024
In the geographies where various languages are spoken, individuals may have to experience learning one or more languages to fulfil their needs.

This mutual effect is then…

Miranda Gómez Díaz; Laia Fibla; Rachel Ka-Ying Tsui; Krista Byers-Heinlein – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Sometime before their second birthday, many children have a period of rapid expressive vocabulary growth called the vocabulary spurt. Theories of the underlying mechanisms differ: Accumulator models emphasize the accumulation of experience with words over time to yield a spurtlike pattern, while cognitive models attribute the spurt to cognitive…

By 12 months of age, infants exhibit behavioral sensitivity to sound symbolism (e.g. sound-shape correspondences) when they hear universally sound symbolic pseudowords (e.g. "bouba," "kiki"). Here, we investigated whether infant's sensitivity to sound-shape correspondences is affected when they hear language-specific sound…

Lee, Huan Yik; Hamid, M. Obaidul; Hardy, Ian – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2022
Although most international organisations are, in principle, multilingual, the ten-member Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) has adopted a radical approach by operating monolingually, ostensibly for convenience and pragmatism.
