Verhoeven, Ludo; Perfetti, Charles – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
In this article, we provide a cross-linguistic perspective on the universals and particulars in learning to read across seventeen different orthographies. Starting from the assumption that reading reflects a learned sensitivity to the systematic relationships between the surface forms of words and their meanings, we chose a broad group of…

Shader, Maureen J.; Kwon, Bomjun J.; Gordon-Salant, Sandra; Goupell, Matthew J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of age on phoneme recognition performance in which the stimuli varied in the amount of temporal information available in the signal. Chronological age is increasingly recognized as a factor that can limit the amount of benefit an individual can receive from a cochlear implant (CI).…

Ristic, Bojana; Mancini, Simona; Molinaro, Nicola; Staub, Adrian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Although research in sentence comprehension has suggested that processing long-distance dependencies involves maintenance between the elements that form the dependency, studies on maintenance of long-distance subject-verb (SV) dependencies are scarce. The few relevant studies have delivered mixed results using self-paced reading or…

Ghalehbani, Saeid; Kolahi, Sholeh – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
This study examined the comparative effect of recasts and prompts on EFL learners' pronunciation accuracy of consonants and vowels. Eighty-nine elementary EFL learners were selected among 117 through their performance on a piloted sample KET and were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (recast, prompt), and a control group. A piloted…

Malling, Anne Sofie Bøgh; Juul, Holger; Gejl, Anne Kaer; Damsgaard, Linn; Wienecke, Jacob; Nielsen, Anne-Mette Veber – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
In Denmark there is an ongoing trend towards a more ambitious literacy instruction in the first school year (Kindergarten). This calls for a clarification of present-day reading levels, and for a profile of the students who become readers while attending the semi-formal literacy program. The present study examined the extent to which a group of…

Cho, Mi-Hui – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2022
This study investigates how Korean students produce and perceive single and double consonant letters in English words. To this end, twenty-eight Korean learners of English participated in the production and perception tests of English consonants /p, b, s, d, k, g/ with single and double letters. The participants were first asked to produce English…

Yin, Li; Joshi, R. Malatesha; Li, Daoxin; Kim, Seon-Kee – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Graphotactic as well as phonological factors influence native English speakers' decisions about consonant doubling in the spelling of nonwords, e.g., "zimen" versus "zimmen." This study examined the extent to which such influences apply to non-native speakers of English, who presumably have less knowledge of English…

Clemens, Nathan H.; Lee, Kejin; Henri, Maria; Simmons, Leslie E.; Kwok, Oi-man; Al Otaiba, Stephanie – Grantee Submission, 2020
Fluency with skills that operate below the word level (i.e., sublexical), such as phonemic awareness and alphabetic knowledge, may ease the acquisition of decoding skills (Ritchey & Speece, 2006). Measures of sublexical fluency such as phoneme segmentation fluency (PSF), letter naming fluency (LNF), and letter sound fluency (LSF) are widely…

Lammert, Catherine; DeJulio, Samuel R.; Hiebert, Elfrieda H. – Reading Psychology, 2023
This study reports the knowledge of text complexity held by preservice teachers prior to coursework. The goal of this research is to determine what strengths and what learning needs preservice teachers have related to text selection with the intention of informing programmatic redesign. In this preliminary component of a design-development study,…

Clauss, Sarah Joan – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study analyzes the relationship between phonemic proficiency and orthographic learning in first and second-grade students. It is established in the empirical literature that phonemic skills play a crucial role in word-level reading. What is not thoroughly understood is why some children learn and remember words more efficiently than others.…

Robert Benjamin Cavanaugh – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Communication is fundamental to the human condition but is impaired in life-altering ways for more than 2.4 million individuals with aphasia in the United States. Individuals with aphasia identify discourse-level communication (i.e. language in use) as a high priority for treatment. The central premise of most aphasia treatments is that restoring…

Rikke L. Bundgaard-Nielsen; Brett J. Baker; Elise A. Bell; Yizhou Wang – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Many Aboriginal Australian communities are undergoing language shift from traditional Indigenous languages to contact varieties such as Kriol, an English-lexified Creole. Kriol is reportedly characterised by lexical items with highly variable phonological specifications, and variable implementation of voicing and manner contrasts in obstruents…

Kaori Nakao; Quint W. L. Oga-Baldwin; Luke K. Fryer – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2024
Foreign language was recently added to Japan's national primary school curriculum. Phoneme-Grapheme Recognition (PGR) skills are a critical step in both L1 and L2 development. Due to its simplistic approach and the lack of new investment in teacher training, research regarding the impact on PGR skills are important. This study tested the relative…

Jinglei Ren; Min Wang – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Derivational suffixes are known to play a crucial role in assigning stress to multi-syllabic words among native English speakers. However, it is unclear whether second language (L2) learners of English can effectively use derivational suffixes as stress cues in written words. To address this gap, we studied if native Chinese-speaking adults…

Laura Jane Mallaband – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Speech and language therapists (SLTs) regularly use phonetic transcription to record and analyse typical and disordered speech. Phonetic transcription is highly demanding of auditory perceptual skills so researchers are sceptical about its accuracy and reliability. The literature describes how phonetic transcription is prone to…
