'I Very Appreciate'
MIRIAM EISENSTEIN, JEAN W. BODMAN; ‘I Very Appreciate’: Expressions of Gratitude by Native and Non-native Speakers of American English, Applied Linguistics
Target language variation and second‐language acquisition
The role of dialect variation in the acquisition of American English by adult second language learners was investigated. Subjects, adult learners of English as a second language in New York City, represented a range of native backgrounds, proficiency levels and socioeconomics status. Learners' reactions to standard English, New Yorkese (New York nonstandard English) and Black English were considered. First, the learners' developing ability to det…
Alternatives in Second Language Research
Research is just a set of conventions—the most rigorous way to ask a question and look for answers. ... Research is people‐run. And it can be as flexible as the people who run it. (Hatch & Farhady, 1982, p. xv)
Real Reality Revisited
This article describes an experimental oral communication course (OCC) offered at Passaic County Community College in Paterson, New Jersey, and reports the results of a pilot study to evaluate its initial success. The OCC was designed around weekly, structured field trips to sites where students typically need to communicate in English. Each field trip unit consisted of three related classes. In the class prior to a trip, students listened to tap…
The Intelligibility of Social Dialects for Working-class Adult Learners of English
This study investigated the intelligibility of three English dialects for 113 working-class adult English learners in the New York metropolitan area. The relative intelligibility of standard English, New Yorkese, and black English for these students was rated based on comprehension of six tape-recorded contextualized monologues, two in each dialect. Learner proficiency was rated by cloze procedure, and most students were found to be at the interm…
It Take Two
Many approaches are now being used to collect and examine data pertinent to second language acquisition, Studies may be longitudinal, cross-sectional, or ethnographic in nature. Language may be observed in a natural setting or elicited through controlled tasks. Wong Fillmore (1980) has remarked that each means of collecting data has its advantages in terms of what is revealed and concealed. She therefore recommends the use of multiple measures in…

A Study of Social Variation in Adult Second Language Aquisition
This study focuses on the developing sensitivity of 74 adult English learners to 3 English dialects in their speech community and the extent to which these learners have assimilated community norms regarding dialect speakers. On the basis of a dialect discrimination task, a speaker evaluation task, and a personal interview, the awareness and attitudes of English learners were compared to those of a control group of native English speakers attendi…
