Knight, Janine; Dooly, Melinda; Barberà, Elena – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Research on mode in computer-mediated communication and language learning has primarily focused on mode-as-channel of communication such as audio- or videoconferencing. However, increasingly sophisticated technological tools now facilitate communication in multiple ways so that learners can convey and respond to peers and screen-based resources,…

Dixon, Daniel H. – CALICO Journal, 2022
This study quantitatively measures the variation in language derived from a targeted set of digital game mechanics. Mechanics refer to the design elements of a game that make up the overall gameplay experience, determining player actions and the degree of language interaction. A corpus was compiled by extracting the language files from two popular…

Griffiths, Ed – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2022
Communication strategies (CSs) have been generally viewed as ways in which learners may circumvent, and ideally overcome, communicative difficulties. However, over 40 years of research in this area has been largely confined to theory and experimental studies, and it is not clear to what extent CS research has filtered into contemporary second…

Ally, Said; Oreku, George – International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2022
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic largely disrupted the continuity of educational delivery. Online learning was the prompt response by educators. However, this comes with a big question on the conduct of assessment. Running examinations traditionally is vulnerable to high security risks and administration costs. A precise mechanism to…

Kim, Young-Suk Grace – Grantee Submission, 2022
In this study, we examined burst length and its relation with working memory, attentional control, transcription skills, discourse oral language, and writing quality, using data from English-speaking children in Grade 2 (N = 177; M[subscript age] = 7.19). Results from structural equation modeling showed that burst length was related to writing…

West, Kelsey L.; Iverson, Jana M. – Developmental Science, 2021
Learning to walk allows infants to travel faster and farther and explore more of their environments. In turn, walking may have a cascading effect on infants' communication and subsequent responses from caregivers. We tested for an "inflection point"--a dramatic shift in the developmental progression--in infant communication and caregiver…

Curenton, Stephanie M.; Granda, Cristina – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
We collaborated with Early Head Start (EHS) coaches to qualitatively explore the feasibility delivering a professional development approach designed to enhance the quality of conversations in infant-toddler (I/T) classrooms and family child care homes. First, we reviewed empirical literature about oral language discourse skills in infants and…

Metsala, Jamie L.; Sparks, Erin; David, Margaret; Conrad, Nicole; Deacon, S. Hélène – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Educators and researchers agree that oral language is fundamental to students' reading acquisition. It is not clear how best to conceptualise oral language within models of reading -- as one's overall understanding of spoken language, or as individual skills, each with unique contributions to children's reading comprehension. In our longitudinal…

Kent, Ray D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Developmental functional modules (DFMs) are biological modules that are defined by their structural (morphological), functional, or developmental elements, and, in some cases, all three of these. This review article considers the hypothesis that vocal development in the first year of life can be understood in large part with respect to…

Park, Mi Sun – TESL-EJ, 2021
Previous research has documented positive effects of pre-task planning on task-based performance, commonly analyzed in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency, in an L2. However, the sources of planning have rarely been examined in the research of task-based language teaching. The present study explored EFL learners' oral performance across the…

Academic outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain poor, especially in the area of reading, in particular, reading comprehension. In recent years, researchers have begun to investigate subcomponent skills of reading comprehension for children with ASD in order to better understand its development and potential…

Istanti, Wati; Seinsiani, Izzati Gemi; Visser, Johannes Gerhardus; Lazuardi, Ahlul Izza Destian – International Journal of Language Education, 2020
Every nation has its own language with distinctive features and historical background that differentiate between one another. Indonesian language and Afrikaans language is regarded to possess several historical resemblances. Indonesia was once colonized by the Dutch for 350 years, and therefore, some of the words or language structure in…

Bagherkazemi, Marzieh – TESOL International Journal, 2020
The role of languaging in second language acquisition (SLA) has been widely investigated since its postulation in the 1980s, though only a few studies have addressed languaging in speech act production as an aspect of second language (L2) pragmatic development. The present study was designed to compare the nature of languaging produced by 45…
