  • Response to Open Peer Commentaries of Hulstijn’s (2024) Update of BLC Theory

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn, Jan Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Languages•2025•Referencias: 15

    In this article, I respond to six peer commentaries of my essay in Languages 2024, containing an update of BLC Theory. I address the following issues: embedding BLC Theory in more than one metatheory; the match between the theory and usage-based models; the importance of processing pressures; the distinction between BLC and ELC; the study of heritage languages; the roles of cognitive factors in L1 and L2 attainment

  • Predictions of Individual Differences in the Acquisition of Native and Non-Native Languages

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn, Jan Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Languages•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 46

    BLC Theory proposes that individual differences (IDs) in language proficiency (in both native and non-native speakers) can poorly be mapped on a single proficiency scale. Instead, IDs can best be understood and studied in terms of two fundamentally different dimensions: (1) the cognition of oral language (receptive and productive speech processing) and (2) the cognition of the written language (reading and writing). This paper presents an update …

  • An Individual-Differences Framework for Comparing Nonnative With Native Speakers

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2019•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 62

    This article proposes basic (shared) and extended (nonshared) language cognition in native speakers as a function of two types of extralinguistic attributes: (a) degree of being multilingual and (b) variables related to amount and type of literacy experiences (e.g., level of education). This approach may throw new light on the question of whether bilinguals can attain complete or native proficiency in two (or more) languages and the question of w…

  • Professional and non-professional raters’ responsiveness to fluency and accuracy in L2 speech

    Open Access•Klaartje Duijm, Rob Schoonen et al.•ARTICLE•Language Testing•2018

    It is general practice to use rater judgments in speaking proficiency testing. However, it has been shown that raters’ knowledge and experience may influence their ratings, both in terms of leniency and varied focus on different aspects of speech. The purpose of this study is to identify raters’ relative responsiveness to fluency and linguistic accuracy in an occupational context, and to investigate whether professional and non-professional rater…

  • Explaining phenomena of first and second language acquisition with the constructs of implicit and explicit learning

    Jan H Hulstijn•CHAPTER•Implicit and explicit learning of…•2015

    This chapter examines to what extent Krashen’s (1981) distinction between acquired (implicit) and learned (explicit) knowledge can be upheld from a usage-based view on first and second language learning and in the light of recent advancement in (neuro)cognitive research on artificial grammar learning, statistical learning, and modelling implicit and explicit learning. It is proposed that, generally, two-system theories (e.g. implicit/explicit, de…

  • Second language fluency

    Open Access•Nivja H De Jong, RACHEL GROENHOUT et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Psycholinguistics•2015

    In second language (L2) research and testing, measures of oral fluency are used as diagnostics for proficiency. However, fluency is also determined by personality or speaking style, raising the question to what extent L2 fluency measures are valid indicators of L2 proficiency. In this study, we obtained a measure of L2 (Dutch) proficiency (vocabulary knowledge), L2 fluency measures, and fluency measures that were corrected for first language beha…

  • The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

    Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•ITL - International Journal of…•2014

    The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, Council of Europe, 2001) currently functions as an instrument for educational policy and practice. The view of language proficiency on which it is based and the six proficiency levels it defines lack empirical support from language-use data. Several issues need to be investigated collaboratively by researchers working in the fields of first and second language acquisition, corpus lin…

  • Visual and auditory digit-span performance in native and non-native speakers

    We compared 121 native and 114 non-native speakers of Dutch (with 35 different first languages) on four digit-span tasks, varying modality (visual/auditory) and direction (forward/backward). An interaction was observed between nativeness and modality, such that, while natives performed better than the non-natives on the auditory tasks (which were performed in the non-natives’ second language), performance on the visual tasks (which was performed …

  • Bridging the Gap

    For some, research in learning and teaching of a second language (L2) runs the risk of disintegrating into irreconcilable approaches to L2 learning and use. On the one side, we find researchers investigating linguistic-cognitive issues, often using quantitative research methods including inferential statistics; on the other side, we find researchers working on the basis of sociocultural or sociocognitive views, often using qualitative research me…

  • Linguistic skills and speaking fluency in a second language

    Open Access•Nivja H De Jong, Margarita P Steinel et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Psycholinguistics•2013

    This study investigated how individual differences in linguistic knowledge and processing skills relate to individual differences in speaking fluency. Speakers of Dutch as a second language ( N = 179) performed eight speaking tasks, from which several measures of fluency were derived such as measures for pausing, repairing, and speed (mean syllable duration). In addition, participants performed separate tasks, designed to gauge individuals’ secon…

  • Is the Second Language Acquisition discipline disintegrating

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Language Teaching•2013•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 8

    After characterizing the study of second language acquisition (SLA) from three viewpoints, I try to answer the question, raised by DeKeyser (2010), of whether the SLA field is disintegrating. In answering this question, I first propose a distinction between SLA as the relatively fundamental academic discipline and SLA as the relatively applied field of language education. Instead of portraying the field in terms of quantitative or laboratory stud…

  • Incidental Learning in Second Language Acquisition

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•CHAPTER•Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics•2012

    The term incidental learning is used, in applied linguistics, to refer to the acquisition of a word or expression without the conscious intention to commit the element to memory, such as “picking up” an unknown word from listening to someone or from reading a text.

The following independent variables were assessed s…

  • The construct of language proficiency in the study of bilingualism from a cognitive perspective

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Bilingualism Language and Cognition•2012

    This article aims at revitalizing the debate concerning the measurement of language proficiency (LP) in the study of bilingualism (Grosjean, 1998). A review is presented of the way in which LP was measured in a corpus of 140 empirical papers published in volumes 1–14 (1998–2011) of the journal Bilingualism: Language and Cognition . In 55% of these papers, in which the assessment of LP as an independent or moderating variable was a necessary or pr…

  • Theoretical and Empirical Issues in the Study of Implicit and Explicit Second-Language Learning

    Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2005

    There are good theoretical and educational reasons to place matters of implicit and explicit learning high on the agenda for SLA research. As for theoretical motivations, perhaps the most central issue in SLA theory construction in need of explanation is the differential success in one's first language (L1) and in one's second language (L2). Although acquisition of an L1 results in full mastery of the language (provided that children are exposed …

    Two cognitive approaches to first and second language learning are juxtaposed: (1) the information-processing framework, and (2) Bialystok's Analysis/Control framework. It is concluded that, to the extent that both frameworks are descriptive ‘metaphors’, it is impossible to choose between them on empirical grounds. The main differences between the two appears to be a difference in focus. The Analysis/Control framework seems to be equipped mainly …

This has been documented by a number of questionnaire, interview and case studies (Gu & Johnson, 1996; Jones, 1995; Lawson & Hogden, 1996; Porte, 1988; Sanaoui, 1995). Because of the sheer magnitude of the vocabulary learning task it is only …

Performance in the speaking tasks was rated on functional adequacy by a panel of judges and formed the dependent variable in subsequent analyses (structural equation modeling). The following independent variables were assessed s…

  • The construct of language proficiency in the study of bilingualism from a cognitive perspective

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Bilingualism Language and Cognition•2012

    This article aims at revitalizing the debate concerning the measurement of language proficiency (LP) in the study of bilingualism (Grosjean, 1998). A review is presented of the way in which LP was measured in a corpus of 140 empirical papers published in volumes 1–14 (1998–2011) of the journal Bilingualism: Language and Cognition . In 55% of these papers, in which the assessment of LP as an independent or moderating variable was a necessary or pr…

  • Different speakers but same Language Acquisition Device

    Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Linguistic Approaches to…•2012

    The article presents studies which examine the impact of level of education on the knowledge of language. A study of adult native speakers of Dutch discovered large individual differences in lexical memory, lexical fluency and lexical knowledge. Another study of Dutch native speakers showed that level of education (LoE)-low and senior participants performed significantly lower compared to LoE-high and younger participants, but the sizes of LoE an…

  • Linguistic competences of learners of Dutch as a second language at the B1 and B2 levels of speaking proficiency of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Cefr)

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn, Rob Schoonen et al.•ARTICLE•Language Testing•2012

    This study examines the associations between the speaking proficiency of 181 adult learners of Dutch as a second language and their linguistic competences. Performance in eight speaking tasks was rated on a scale of communicative adequacy. After extrapolation of these ratings to the Overall Oral Production scale of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (Council of Europe, 2001), 80 and 30 participants (on average per spe…

  • Determinants of Success in Native and Non-Native Listening Comprehension

    Open Access•Sible Andringa, Nomi Olsthoorn et al.•ARTICLE•Language Learning•2012•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 53

    The goal of this study was to explain individual differences in both native and non-native listening comprehension; 121 native and 113 non-native speakers of Dutch were tested on various linguistic and nonlinguistic cognitive skills thought to underlie listening comprehension. Structural equation modeling was used to identify the predictors of individual differences in listening comprehension and to test for differences between the native and non…

  • Linguistic skills and speaking fluency in a second language

    Open Access•Nivja H De Jong, Margarita P Steinel et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Psycholinguistics•2013

    This study investigated how individual differences in linguistic knowledge and processing skills relate to individual differences in speaking fluency. Speakers of Dutch as a second language ( N = 179) performed eight speaking tasks, from which several measures of fluency were derived such as measures for pausing, repairing, and speed (mean syllable duration). In addition, participants performed separate tasks, designed to gauge individuals’ secon…

  • Is the Second Language Acquisition discipline disintegrating

    Open Access•Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•Language Teaching•2013•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 8

    After characterizing the study of second language acquisition (SLA) from three viewpoints, I try to answer the question, raised by DeKeyser (2010), of whether the SLA field is disintegrating. In answering this question, I first propose a distinction between SLA as the relatively fundamental academic discipline and SLA as the relatively applied field of language education. Instead of portraying the field in terms of quantitative or laboratory stud…

  • The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

    Jan H Hulstijn•ARTICLE•ITL - International Journal of…•2014

    The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, Council of Europe, 2001) currently functions as an instrument for educational policy and practice. The view of language proficiency on which it is based and the six proficiency levels it defines lack empirical support from language-use data. Several issues need to be investigated collaboratively by researchers working in the fields of first and second language acquisition, corpus lin…
