Tulloch, Michelle K. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning to read is a fundamental skill that is understudied among children who hear more than one language at home. A particular limitation in the extant literature is that the samples are often Spanish-dominant and come from low-income households. This literature has evidence that Spanish skills -- both language-specific (i.e., vocabulary) and…

Ashley Sanabria; Maria Adelaida Restrepo; Beate Peter; Andrea Valentin; Arthur Glenberg – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the significance and directions of the relationships among oral and manual fine motor skills and language abilities among Spanish--English bilingual children. If such relationships exist, this would support a shared biological influence on motor and language development. Method: Participants…

Sarah Surrain; Michael P. Mesa; Mike A. Assel; Tricia A. Zucker – Grantee Submission, 2023
Purpose: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted changes to child assessment procedures in schools such as the use of face masks by assessors. Research with adults suggests that face masks diminish performance on speech processing and comprehension tasks, yet little is known about how assessor masking affects child performance. Therefore, we…

John M. Norris; Shoko Sasayama; Michelle Kim – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
The Elicited Imitation Task (EIT) is a popular technique for efficiently measuring global proficiency in multiple languages, and accumulated evidence indicates high reliability and strong relationships with other proficiency measures. Nevertheless, several dimensions of EIT design remain open to investigation, including the assumption that a pause…

Dominguez, Federico; Ochoa, Xavier; Zambrano, Dick; Camacho, Katherine; Castells, Jaime – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Multimodal learning analytics, which is collection, analysis, and report of diverse learning traces to better understand and improve the learning process, has been producing a series of interesting prototypes to analyze learning activities that were previously hard to objectively evaluate. However, none of these prototypes have been taken out of…

Parkin, Jason R. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
The simple views of reading (SVRs) and writing (SVWs) reflect useful frameworks for the psychoeducational evaluation of literacy difficulties. They describe reading comprehension and written expression as the outcome of oral language, decoding, and transcription skills. Prior research has demonstrated that these components explain the vast…

Ali Aaj; Parviz Maftoon; Masood Siyyari – Language Learning Journal, 2024
Previous research has shown that task repetition can positively affect L2 oral performance. However, few studies have explored the effects of task repetition on young EFL learners' production. Also, task repetition research has paid little attention to effects of "spacing" examined through longer time intervals between the two occasions…

Marit Skarbø Solem; Anne Marie Dalby Landmark; Elizabeth Stokoe; Karianne Skovholt – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
How do examiners reach joint decisions when they grade oral examinations? While government and policymakers provide general frameworks about grading decisions, we know little about how they are actually accomplished in interaction, particularly when examiners initially disagree. We scrutinized 29 video-recorded grading conversations between…

Jianli Shi; Jirarat Sitthiworachart; Jon-Chao Hong – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Given that project-based learning (PjBL) allows for hands-on application in realistic contexts and that immersive virtual reality (iVR) allows learners to interact with multiple modalities of information and immerse in a real-world English environment, this study investigates how incorporating iVR technology into PjBL contexts affects students'…

Assel Zhakim – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2024
The home environment and experiences before a child enters formal schooling have a significant impact on their educational progress and results. Most research in this area has been conducted in Western countries and may differ across different countries and cultures. The purpose of this study is to investigate how literacy skills are developed in…

Suzuki, Yuichi; Hanzawa, Keiko – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
To examine the effects of task repetition with different schedules, English-as-a-foreign-language classroom learners performed the same oral narrative task six times under three different schedules. They narrated the same six-frame cartoon story (a) six times consecutively in one class (massed practice), (b) three times at the beginning and at the…
