Pauline Maes; Chelsea La Valle; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Nongenerative speech is the rote repetition of words or phrases heard from others or oneself. The most common manifestations of nongenerative speech are immediate and delayed echolalia, which are a well-attested clinical feature and a salient aspect of atypical language use in autism. However, there are no current estimates of…

Deserno, Marie K.; Fuhrmann, Delia; Begeer, Sander; Borsboom, Denny; Geurts, Hilde M.; Kievit, Rogier A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism is often associated with early developmental delays in language and motor skills. However, little is known about the complex dynamic processes that drive the co-development of such early difficulties. The aim of the present study was to model the parallel growth of language and motor skills in a cohort of infants and to explore differences…

Chansongkhro, Natthamon; Sukying, Apisak – Journal of Education and Learning, 2023
This study examined Thai senior high school EFL learners' receptive and productive knowledge of English polysemous phrasal verbs. The research employed the framework developed by Garnier and Schmitt (2015), which is the most widely acknowledged and functional concept of English polysemous phrasal verb knowledge. A battery of tests measuring the…

Chung, Wei-Lun; Bidelman, Gavin M. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Cross-linguistic studies have reported that prosodic pattern awareness (e.g., lexical stress and lexical tone) is more important to reading acquisition than phonological awareness. However, few longitudinal studies have been conducted to explore the relations between these variables. This study examined preschoolers' pitch discrimination, prosodic…

Stoeckel, Tim; McLean, Stuart; Nation, Paul – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Two commonly used test types to assess vocabulary knowledge for the purpose of reading are size and levels tests. This article first reviews several frequently stated purposes of such tests (e.g., materials selection, tracking vocabulary growth) and provides a reasoned argument for the precision needed to serve such purposes. Then three sources of…

Kalvin Karuna; Henderika Serpara; Maria Martha Nikijuluw – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
The purpose of this study is to describe the perceptions and expectations of German language students, especially in terms of receptive skills. This study asks two main questions: (i) what are the expectations of students towards learning German and (ii) how are students' perceptions of German learning, especially reading and listening, the data…

Baoqi Sun; Beth Ann O'Brien; Nur Artika Binte Arshad; He Sun – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study examined the within- and cross-language relationships between intrinsic language learning motivation, home literacy environment (shared book reading, parental literacy involvement, and parent perceived child literacy interest), and receptive vocabulary in 185 bilingual preschoolers and 233 primary school children in Singapore. Age…

Elif Dede Yildirim; Cynthia A. Frosch; António J. Santos; Manuela Veríssimo; Kristen Bub; Brian E. Vaughn – Child Development, 2024
Preschool teachers' perceptions about relationships with students (teacher-child relationships [TCRs]) predict children's subsequent social competence (SC) and academic progress. Why this is so remains unclear. Do TCRs shape children's development, or do child attributes influence both TCRs and subsequent development? Relations between TCRs and…

Hambalee Jehma; Apipa Prachyapruit; Pateep Methakunavudhi – Journal of English Teaching, 2024
This research and development study aimed to develop the prototype of virtual learning implemented in flipped classrooms and evaluate its effectiveness as a tool for developing Thai undergraduates' English receptive skills. To assess if the designed prototype is effective, a quasi-experimental method was employed. The experimental sample group…

Fiorentino, Alice – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
In this paper a context where receptive multilingualism represents a communicative strategy of adjustment in a context of second language acquisition is discussed. The traditional scope of receptive multilingualism has been extended to multilingual environments resulting from an experience of mobility, namely transnational adoptive families.…

Riches, Nick; Letts, Carolyn; Awad, Hadeel; Ramsey, Rachel; Dabrowska, Ewa – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Collocations, e.g., apples and pears, hard worker, constitute an important avenue of linguistic enquiry straddling both grammar and the lexicon. They are sensitive to language experience, with adult L2 learners and children learning English as an Additional Language (EAL) exhibiting poor collocational knowledge. The current study piloted a novel…

Price, Kaitlyn M.; Wigg, Karen G.; Misener, Virginia L.; Clarke, Antoine; Yeung, Natalie; Blokland, Kirsten; Wilkinson, Margaret; Kerr, Elizabeth N.; Guger, Sharon L.; Lovett, Maureen W.; Barr, Cathy L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a common reading disability, affecting 5% to 11% of children in North America. Children classified as having DD often have a history of early language delay (ELD) or language impairments. Nevertheless, studies have reported conflicting results as to the association between DD-ELD and the extent of current language…

Li, Yan; Hafner, Christoph A. – ReCALL, 2022
Considerable research has been conducted on the advancement of mobile technologies to facilitate vocabulary learning and acquisition in a second language (L2). However, whether mobile platforms lead to a comprehensive mastery of both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge has seldom been addressed in previous literature. This study…

Masrai, Ahmed – TESOL Journal, 2022
Research addressing the relationship between vocabulary knowledge and second language (L2) listening comprehension has been conducted mostly using measures that tap orthographic vocabulary knowledge. The few studies that have used measures that tap phonological modality to delineate the relationship between vocabulary and L2 listening have focused…

Nieto, Carmen; Campos, Ruth – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The development of copying behaviours of a group of infants from 9 to 15 months of age is analysed. These behaviours are classified according to their type (mimetic or imitated) and function (instrumental, social or hybrid). The function of the behaviours is derived from observable indicators linked to dyadic interaction. Mimetic behaviours are…
