Tomas, Ekaterina; Demuth, Katherine; Petrocz, Peter – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The aim of this article was to explore how the type of allomorph (e.g., past tense buzz[ d ] vs. nod[ ?d ]) influences the ability to perceive and produce grammatical morphemes in children with typical development and with specific language impairment (SLI). Method: The participants were monolingual Australian English--speaking children.…

White, Lisa J.; Greenfield, Daryl B. – Developmental Science, 2017
A growing percentage of low-income children in the United States come from Spanish-speaking homes and are dual language learners (DLLs). Recent research shows that bilingual children, compared to monolinguals, have enhanced executive functioning (EF), a set of foundational cognitive skills that predict higher social-emotional competence and…

Ayneto, Alba; Sebastian-Galles, Nuria – Developmental Science, 2017
Bilingual infants show an extended period of looking at the mouth of talking faces, which provides them with additional articulatory cues that can be used to boost the challenging situation of learning two languages (Pons, Bosch & Lewkowicz, 2015). However, the eye region also provides fundamental cues for emotion perception and recognition,…

Kim, Chae-Eun; O'Grady, William; Deen, Kamil; Kim, Kitaek – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2017
This article shows that the Korean Extrinsic Plural Marker (EPM) may be acquired by children on the basis of very little evidence. The EPM marks distributivity, unlike the Instrinsic Plural Marker, which marks plurality. Thirty monolingual learners of Korean aged 5;03 to 6;09 (mean age 6;01) were tested using a series of Truth Value Judgment Tasks…

McClain, Janna Brown; Oh, Min Hyun; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette – TESOL Journal, 2021
Spanish-English bilingual learners are the fastest growing demographic in U.S. elementary schools. Yet many schools, particularly those in new immigration destination regions, continue to measure bilingual students' vocabulary using monolingual norms. This inequitable practice makes it appear as if bilingual learners have lower language abilities…

Häusler, Angela H. – Education Sciences, 2021
This article opens an analytical window into the creation of multilingual guerrilla translations by participants in a preservice language teacher program at a public university in the United States. As an intervention responding to the prevalence of English monolingual signage on this highly diverse university campus, the college students invited…

McDonald, Cherelle – Educational & Child Psychology, 2021
Aims: This research explored discourses regarding language in multilingual primary classrooms and how the dominant discourse forms teaching practice. Rationale: Educational responses to linguistic diversity are set within a social and cultural context, and in the context of England responses have varied throughout history. The current context is…

Hessel, Annina K.; Nation, Kate; Murphy, Victoria A. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
This experiment investigated comprehension monitoring in children learning English as an additional language (EAL) compared to monolinguals. Sixty-three 9-10-year-old children read texts containing an internal inconsistency (e.g. a barking kitten vs. barking puppy) while their eye movements were monitored. Standardized tests measured word reading…

Costley, Tracey; Gkonou, Christina; Myles, Florence; Roehr-Brackin, Karen; Tellier, Angela – Language Learning Journal, 2020
Existing research suggests that being multilingual may convey advantages for additional language learning. However, little research to date has examined the role of multiple languages in primary-school classroom settings and in foreign language learning in particular. We investigated the learning of French by children with English as an additional…

Desjardins, Jamie L.; Bangert, Ashley; Gomez, Ninive – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine inhibition of irrelevant information in younger and older English monolingual and Spanish--English bilingual adults. Method: Sixty-one participants divided into four groups: 15 younger English monolinguals, 16 younger Spanish-English bilinguals, 15 older English monolinguals, and 15 older…

Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Alt, Mary; Gray, Shelley; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Green, Samuel; Cowan, Nelson – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in performance between monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual second graders (aged 7-9 years old) on executive function tasks assessing inhibition, shifting, and updating to contribute more evidence to the ongoing debate about a potential bilingual executive function advantage.…

Tao, Yan; Williams, John N. – Language Learning, 2018
A hallmark of grammatical knowledge is the ability to parse novel syntactic structures. Previous artificial language studies have examined learning hierarchical structures, but few have involved meaningful language and shown generalization to novel structures. This study addressed this issue using the semiartificial language paradigm. The…

Yüksel, H. Gülru; Efeoglu, Gülümser; Celen, Kiymet Merve – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2018
Efforts to understand changes in language development and variations in language production across lifespan have increased considerably in the past several decades (Sankoff, 2017). In narrative discourse production, although several studies have reported age-related differences, the findings are not consistent. Additionally, previous research has…

Licandro, Ulla – EBP Briefs (Evidence-based Practice Briefs), 2018
Clinical Question: Would a dual language learning (DLL) child age 2+ years with delayed or impaired vocabulary development (P) show gains in both languages when supplementing intervention in his or her second language (L2) with an indirect speech-language pathologist-supervised or prompted first language (L1) intervention (I) in comparison to no…

Probyn, Margie – Classroom Discourse, 2019
The majority of learners in South African schools are African language speakers, yet the dominance of English in the political economy has meant that schools choose to switch to English medium instruction by Grade 4, before learners have the necessary English proficiency to access the curriculum, with negative effects on learning. This paper…
