Reading experience drives L2 reading speed development: A longitudinal study of EAL reading habits
Introduction The present longitudinal study tested the hypotheses that (i) learners become faster readers after intensive English language instruction, and that (ii) learners who read more English texts tend to make larger gains in reading speed. Methods Study participants were 142 L1 Cantonese or Mandarin English learners enrolled in an eight-month university bridging program. Participants completed a reading habits log each week, reporting info…
Tracking reading development in an English language university-level bridging program: Evidence from eye-movements during passage reading
Increasing numbers of international students enter university education via English language bridging programs. Much research has overlooked the nature of second language reading development during a bridging program, focusing instead on the development of literacy skills of international students who already meet the language requirement for undergraduate admission. We report a longitudinal eye-movement study assessing English passage reading ef…
Motion cues increase focused attention towards purely visual stimuli in a nocturnal primate and drive stimulus interaction and approach/avoidance in a context‐dependent manner
Visual information is of pivotal ecological importance to monkeys, apes, and humans, whereas its role in nocturnal primate ecology is less well understood. We explored how purely visual information modulates the behavior of a nocturnal primate. Abstract (shape), photographic (shape + detail), or video (shape + detail + motion) representations of arthropod prey ( Zophobas morio ; food context) or a male conspecific (social context) were systematic…
Determinants of Word‐Reading Development in English Learner University Students: A Longitudinal Eye Movement Study
We investigated the word‐reading development of adult second‐language learners of English. A sample of 70 (Mandarin or Cantonese) Chinese‐speaking students enrolled in a university‐level English bridging program at a Canadian university silently read passages of text at the beginning and end of the program while their eye movements were recorded. At each timepoint, we also administered a battery of tests that measure key component skills of secon…

Countability in world Englishes
In this study we explored variation in the countability of nouns in Outer Circle, Expanding Circle and lingua franca Englishes, a phenomenon which is frequently cited as a marker of Inner Circle norms in TESOL and of endonormative and emerging varieties in the Outer and Expanding Circles. We inspected a set of mass nouns likeinformationandequipmentin the VOICE corpus and websites from Outer and Expanding Circle country domains. We also evaluated …
