Language learning bridge: How translation and interpreting training impacts bilingual proficiency in heritage and L2 learners
Beyond L2 Learners: Evaluating LexTale-ESP as a Proficiency Measure for Heritage Language Learners of Spanish
LexTALE has emerged as a popular measure of language proficiency in research studies. While it has been widely validated for L2 learners across multiple languages, its applicability to heritage language learners (HLLs)-who often show distinct language development from L2ers-has not been established. Here, we evaluate the Spanish version of LexTALE (LexTALE-Esp) as a predictor of writing proficiency among college-aged HLLs in the United States. We…
Unraveling the Complexities of Second Language Lexical Stress Processing: The Impact of First Language Transfer, Second Language Proficiency, and Exposure
We investigated the role of cue weighting, second language (L2) proficiency, and L2 daily exposure in L2 learning of suprasegmentals different from the first language (L1), using eye-tracking. Spanish monolinguals, English-Spanish learners, and Mandarin-Spanish learners saw a paroxytone and an oxytone verb (e.g., FIRma-firMÓ "s/he signs-signed"), listened to a sentence containing one of the verbs, and chose the one that they heard. The three lang…
Interpreting experience and working memory effects on L1 and L2 morphological prediction
The human brain tries to process information as efficiently as possible through mechanisms like prediction. Native speakers predict linguistic information extensively, but L2 learners show variability. Interpreters use prediction while working and research shows that interpreting experience mediates L2 prediction. However, it is unclear whether advantages related to interpreting are due to higher working memory (WM) capacity, a typical characteri…
Conceptually Cued Perceptual Categorization in Adult L2 Learners
Previous studies attest that early bilinguals can modify their perceptual identification according to the fine-grained phonetic detail of the language they believe they are hearing. Following Gonzales et al. (2019), we replicate the double phonemic boundary effect in late learners (LBs) using conceptual-based cueing. We administered a forced choice identification task to 169 native English adult learners of Spanish in two sessions. In both sessio…
