LaScotte, Darren; Tarone, Elaine – Modern Language Journal, 2019
Addressing themes from the Douglas Fir Group's (2016) transdisciplinary framework, this paper bridges boundaries between cognitive and social disciplines by showing how social contextual factors can affect the psycholinguistic development of complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) in learner language. Sociolinguistic and sociocultural frameworks…

Suzuki, Natsumi – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent bi-modal input improves the word segmentation ability of L2 learners of Japanese. Accurately identifying words in continuous speech is a fundamental process for comprehending the overall message, but studies show that second language (L2) learners often find this task difficult, even when…

Hardison, Debra M.; Pennington, Martha C. – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2021
This article reviews research findings involving visual input in speech processing in the form of facial cues and co-speech gestures for second-language (L2) learners, and provides pedagogical implications for the teaching of listening and speaking. It traces the foundations of auditory-visual speech research and explores the role of a speaker's…

Ota, Mitsuhiko; Skarabela, Barbora – Journal of Child Language, 2018
This study explores the possibility that early word segmentation is aided by infants' tendency to segment words with repeated syllables ("reduplication"). Twenty-four nine-month-olds were familiarized with passages containing one novel reduplicated word and one novel non-reduplicated word. Their central fixation times in response to…

Mehta, Sheena; Ding, Yi; Ness, Molly; Chen, Eric C. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
The study assessed the clinical utility of an invented spelling tool and determined whether invented spelling with linguistic manipulation at segmental and supra-segmental levels can be used to better identify reading difficulties. We conducted linguistic manipulation by using real and nonreal words, incorporating word stress, alternating the…

Chen, Li-Mei; Hustad, Katherine C.; Kent, Ray D.; Lin, Yu Ching – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study explored the speech characteristics of Mandarin-speaking children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children to determine (a) how children in the 2 groups may differ in their speech patterns and (b) the variables correlated with speech intelligibility for words and sentences. Method: Data from 6 children…

Maczuga, Paulina; O'Brien, Mary Grantham; Knaus, Johannes – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2017
Lexical stress assignment plays a central role in being understood in a second language. In fact, research has shown that it may be more important for the comprehensibility of second language learners' speech than, for example, grammatical correctness (Trofimovich & Isaacs, 2012). Nonetheless, its production poses challenges for second…

Laurence B. Leonard; Mariel L. Schroeder – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
The main goal of this tutorial is to promote the study of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) across different languages of the world. The cumulative effect of these efforts is likely to be a set of more compelling and comprehensive theories of language learning difficulties and, possibly, of language acquisition in general.…

Haoyan Ge; Albert Kwing Lok Lee; Hoi Kwan Yuen; Fang Liu; Virginia Yip – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
This study investigated bilingualism effects on the production of focus in 5- to 9-year-old Cantonese-English bilingual autistic children's L1 Cantonese, compared to their monolingual autistic peers as well as monolingual and bilingual typically developing children matched in nonverbal IQ, working memory, receptive vocabulary and maternal…

McAndrews, Mark – Language Teaching Research, 2023
In many English language teaching contexts, listening activities resemble listening comprehension tests. Scholars have argued that this product-oriented approach is not particularly effective in helping learners improve their listening skills and have advocated for the inclusion of instruction that targets specific features of spoken language. The…

Daniel Malakowsky – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2023
Twenty adult ESL students at a community college participated in a semester reading intervention. Participants received a modified extensive reading treatment, and some participants received an additional repeated reading direct instruction reading intervention. The author examined the impact of the reading interventions on ESL students' reading…

Roepke, Elizabeth; Bower, Kathryn E.; Miller, Catherine A.; Brosseau-Lapré, Françoise – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study compared performance on the Syllable Repetition Task (SRT) by preschoolers with diverse speech and language abilities to identify underlying impairments in speech processes. Method: Three groups of 13 children ages 4 and 5 years with (a) typically developing (TD) speech and language, (b) speech sound disorder (SSD), and (c)…

Iglesias Fernández, Emilia; Russo, Mariachiara – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
The complex nature of remote interpreting (RI) demands a multidisciplinary approach. The present article focuses on telephone interpreting (TI) in the light of the most relevant disciplines to suggest a coherent theoretical and methodologic framework. This approach will contribute to analysing TI components and mechanics, both for research…

Genovese, Giuliana; Spinelli, Maria; Romero Lauro, Leonor J.; Aureli, Tiziana; Castelletti, Giulia; Fasolo, Mirco – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Infant-directed speech (IDS) is a specific register that adults use to address infants, and it is characterised by prosodic exaggeration and lexical and syntactic simplification. Several authors have underlined that this simplified speech becomes more complex according to the infant's age. However, there is a lack of studies on lexical and…

Hudson, Alida; Koh, Poh Wee; Moore, Karol A.; Binks-Cantrell, Emily – Education Sciences, 2020
Oral reading fluency (ORF) deficits are a hallmark of reading difficulties. The impact of fluency struggles extends beyond word-level difficulties to include deficits in reading comprehension. Sixteen empirical studies conducted in 2000-2019 that examined ORF interventions among elementary students identified as having reading difficulties were…
