Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, through highly selective and rigorous review processes, has collected eight empirical studies showcasing research advances in multiple domains including child first language, adult additional language, and heritage language acquisition. The studies are theoretically motivated and have adopted a spectrum of innovative methodological strategies to achieve a broader understanding of the nature of learning and the learning process. The volume encompasses a wide range of contents: 1) The L1 and L2 acquisition of syntax, semantics, phonetics, and the syntax-discourse interface; 2) Data comparisons across different learner groups: L1 Chinese children, L2 Chinese learners, and Chinese heritage speakers; 3) Acquisition of language skills: speaking, listening, and writing; and last but not least, 4) Instructional interventions including consciousness-raising and metacognitive strategy training. The volume is intended to bridge the gap between research and instruction by helping teachers understand their students and their learning. Informed by research, teachers can opt for appropriate pedagogical approaches and instructional conditions for their students. The volume is guest-edited by Xiaohong Wen, Professor in Applied Linguistics and Chinese language Acquisition at the University of Houston.

Download or read book Vocabulary Knowledge written by Scott Jarvis and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language researchers and practitioners often adopt tools and techniques without testing whether they really work as they should. This is understandable because most scholars do not have the time or expertise to properly evaluate the usefulness of all instruments, measures, and methods they need. It is therefore critical to have problem solvers in the field who gain the necessary expertise and take the time to scrutinize existing methods, identify problems, and offer new solutions. This volume represents the work of scholars who have done this; it is a collection of the latest advances, developments, and innovations regarding the modeling and measurement of learners’ vocabulary growth curves, current levels of vocabulary knowledge and lexical proficiency, and the patterns of lexical diversity found in their language production. Several of the contributors also address the complex but important relationship between automated indices and human judgments of learners’ lexical patterns and abilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reader-friendly text, firmly grounded in listening theories and supported by recent research findings, offers a comprehensive treatment of concepts and knowledge related to teaching second language (L2) listening, with a particular emphasis on metacognition. The metacognitive approach, aimed at developing learner listening in a holistic manner, is unique and groundbreaking. The book is focused on the language learner throughout; all theoretical perspectives, research insights, and pedagogical principles in the book are presented and discussed in relation to the learner. The pedagogical model─a combination of the tried-and-tested sequence of listening lessons and activities that show learners how to activate processes of skilled listeners ─ provides teachers with a sound framework for students’ L2 listening development to take place inside and outside the classroom. The text includes many practical ideas for listening tasks that have been used successfully in various language learning contexts.

Download or read book Assessing L2 Listening written by Gary J. Ockey and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is relevant for language testers, listening researchers, and oral proficiency teachers, in that it explores four broad themes related to the assessment of L2 listening ability: the use of authentic, real-world spoken texts; the effects of different speech varieties of listening inputs; the use of audio-visual texts; and assessing listening as part of an interactive speaking/listening construct. Each theme is introduced with a review of the relevant literature, and then is examined through either two or three empirical studies. The notion of authenticity underlies each of these four themes. By creating more authentic test tasks that are similar to real world language tasks, test developers can create listening assessments that not only more effectively assess test takers’ communicative competence, but can also have a positive washback effect on educational systems.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This article reports a study that aims to investigate (1) the effects of differential listening conditions on Chinese university EFL learners' comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition, and (2) the relationships between the learners' metacognitive listening awareness, listening comprehension, and incidental vocabulary acquisition. The participants were 172 Chinese university students who were put in four different listening conditions: a) listening one time, b) listening three times, c) schema-raising training before listening three times, and d) inferencing training before listening three times. The participants' listening comprehension was measured by their performance in the listening tasks. The listening text of each task included five words for incidental vocabulary acquisition study. To test the participants' vocabulary knowledge, three vocabulary tests, in the order of a production test (i.e., cued recall test), a form test, and a reception test, were administered separately to the participants right after the listening tasks as immediate post-tests, and the same tests were administered again one week after the immediate tests as delayed post-tests. The participants' metacognitive listening awareness was measured by means of Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) in five aspects as: planning-evaluation, directed attention, person knowledge, mental translation, and problem solving. ANOVAs were employed to examine the effects of the different listening conditions on the participants' listening comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition. The results showed that all the three-time listening groups significantly outscored the one-time listening group in both comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, but no significant group differences were found among the three-time listening groups. The participants acquired some vocabulary knowledge especially in terms of receptive and form knowledge, and there was clear evidence that the participants were able to better recognize the target words overtime. Pearson Correlations were run to investigate the relationships between the participants' metacognitive listening awareness, listening comprehension, and incidental vocabulary acquisition. The results showed that the correlations were generally on the low side, and the relationship between reported use of metacognitive strategies, listening comprehension, and incidental vocabulary acquisition was most clearly evident in the three-time listening group which received no training. One of the implications of this study is that EFL learners, generally need time to process input for listening comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition. Regarding metacognitive strategy training, the implication is that it takes time for the learners to be able to implement the strategies instructed to them. Besides, pedagogical suggestion is made on the design features of listening texts for the purposes of both comprehension and vocabulary acquisition."--Abstract.

Download or read book Exploring Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and Listening Strategy Instruction in A Chinese L2 Classroom written by Yue Li and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interpretive case study explored the effectiveness of listening strategy instruction that promoted self-regulated learning and gained insights into students' and instructors' perceptions of strategy-integrated listening instruction among second semester learners of Chinese as a second language at a military college in Northern California. Most of previous studies investigated listening strategy use and the relationship between listening strategy use and listening achievement. Few studies investigated the effectiveness of listening strategy instruction. Thus, this study addressed the gaps in research by examining the effectiveness of integrating listening strategies into regular curriculum and explored students' and instructors' perceptions of listening strategy instruction among learners of Chinese as a second language. An interpretive case study research design was employed to achieve the goal of this study. The participants included one instructor and six students who studied at an intensive Chinese basic course. Three sources of data were collected from 25 classroom observations, a focus group session with the student participants , and a face-to-face interview with the instructor. All data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to answer the research questions. The findings of this study showed that some of cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational strategies were identified as effective in promoting self-regulated learning among learners of Chinese as a second language. The findings also supported that listening strategy instruction helped learners raise awareness of strategy use, increase self-confidence, improve listening abilities, and foster learner autonomy and self-regulation. The findings further indicated that implementing strategy-integrated listening instruction could improve teaching quality, but might face possible challenges from teachers. Finally, the findings suggested that teacher training on integrating listening strategies into regular curriculum should be provided. This study has implications for language teachers, foreign language learners, and language course developers, who are involved in the field of foreign language teaching and learning. More research on self-regulated learning and listening strategy instruction among learners of Chinese as a second/foreign language would further expand the understanding of listening strategy instruction in the field and better assist language learners to succeed in their learning.

Abstract: This study explored the metacognitive awareness of reading strategies used among F.3 English as a Second Language (ESL) students enrolled in a band 1 secondary school in Hong Kong. Usage as well as strategic knowledge of reading strategies of high and low English proficiency students were compared quantitatively and qualitatively. In the quantitative portion of the study, 37 students responded to the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI), which is designed to assess matacognitive awareness and perceived usage of reading strategies of adolescent and adult ESL readers when they read school-related materials. In the qualitative portion of the study, four participants (2 female and 2 male) from the high proficiency group and four participants (2 female and 2 male) from the low proficiency group participated in a semi-structured interview, which aimed to elicit their strategic knowledge in reading English. Results revealed that Hong Kong ESL students on the whole used a wide range of reading strategies. High-proficiency ESL students were more able to verbalize the strategic knowledge and strategic resources available to them. They showed better understanding on planning for reading, monitoring their comprehension and tackling reading difficulties. In contrast, the low-proficiency group showed limited strategic knowledge on why and how to employ the reading strategies. Moreover, their utilization of reading strategies seemed to be confined to their limited lexical and vocabulary knowledge in ESL reading. Based on the findings, some practical implications for ESL reading-strategy instruction are drawn. Limitations of this study and recommendations for further research were discussed.

This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences provides a thorough, in-depth discussion of the theory, research, and pedagogy pertaining to the role individual difference (ID) factors play in second language acquisition (SLA). It goes beyond the traditional repertoire and includes 32 chapters covering a full spectrum of topics on learners’ cognitive, conative, affective, and demographic/sociocultural variation. The volume examines IDs from two perspectives: one is how each ID variable is associated with learning behaviors, processes, and outcomes; the other is how each domain of SLA, such as vocabulary or reading, is affected by clusters of ID variables. The volume also includes a section on the common methods used in ID research, including data elicitation instruments such as surveys, interviews, and psychometric testing, as well as methods of data analysis such as structural equation modeling. The book is a must-read for any second language researcher or applied linguist interested in investigating the effects of IDs on language learning, and for any educator interested in taking account of learners’ individual differences to maximize the effects of second language instruction.

Book excerpt: Research-Driven Pedagogy: Implications of L2A Theory and Research for the Teaching of Language Skills brings together the essentials of second language acquisition (SLA) theory, research, and second language (L2) pedagogy. Uniquely, the design of this book helps researchers and practitioners make explicit connections between theory, research, and practice; learn about and conduct classroom research to contribute to the relevance and applicability of SLA research; and improve current L2 curriculum and instruction in light of current theory and research. The volume offers critical reviews of the most relevant, current SLA theory and research about receptive, productive, complementary, and nonverbal communication skills, as well as willingness to communicate (WTC). Each chapter is formatted to include five major topics about each language skill: (1) major theories, (2) critical reviews of salient/current research, (3) commonly-used data collection and analysis techniques, (4) summary of specific pedagogical implications of pertinent research and theory, and (5) theory and research-driven scenarios/activities that can be used in teaching. A teacher or a researcher can pick any chapter in this volume to learn about the most important language skills (e.g., reading, writing, nonverbal communication), while having all-in-one place access to almost everything they would need.
