Comparing Generative AI-Supported Instruction and Strategic Dictionary Use in Upper Elementary Students’ Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Development
This study compares the effectiveness of Generative AI-supported instruction and strategic dictionary use on upper elementary students’ receptive and expressive vocabulary development. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was employed with 136 students aged 10–12, including monolingual and bilingual learners, who were assigned to three conditions: Generative AI-supported instruction, strategic dictionary use, and a control group. Receptiv…
Sentence Repetition as an Ecologically Valid Tool for Assessing Bilingual Children’s Language Abilities
This study examined the value of Sentence Repetition (SRep) tasks as an ecologically valid tool for assessing bilingual children’s morphosyntactic competence. Seventy Greek–Turkish bilinguals and Greek monolinguals (aged 8–12) completed tasks assessing expressive vocabulary, morphological awareness, and SRep. Monolinguals significantly outperformed bilinguals across all tasks, with near-ceiling scores in grammaticality in SRep tasks reflecting ea…
Investigating Grammatical Aspect Choices in Oral Narratives of Greek Heritage Speakers
This study investigates grammatical aspect in Greek and English oral narratives produced by Greek heritage speakers in the United States, examining aspectual marking across the bilingual repertoire, patterns of cross-linguistic alignment, and morphological restructuring. Using 31 narratives from the Greek Heritage Language Corpus, the analysis addressed (a) the role of background variables, (b) default aspectual preferences, (c) cross-linguistic …
Behind the stalls of farmers’ markets
Migrant workers often find themselves in unstable, low-wage jobs that lack safety and security, leading to their classification as “the working poor”. These roles, while undesirable, are still essential for the economy. Workers in precarious positions endure low pay, face social stigma, and suffer from exploitative working conditions that significantly diminish their quality of life. Research shows that low-wage earners have a higher likelihood o…
CLIL on the spot
Introduction This study aims to explore the instructional strategies employed by Greek teachers in primary and secondary school classes attended by large numbers of refugee and migrant students. As there is not a clear methodological ‘blueprint’ for CLIL that teachers are required to follow, our study will investigate which of the principles framed for the CLIL approach are in fact applied by educators. Methods To this aim, we adopted a survey-ba…
How Morphology, Context, Vocabulary and Reading Shape Lexical Inference in Typical and Dyslexic Readers
Children’s ability to infer meanings of unfamiliar words during reading is thought to rely on the interplay between decoding, morphological awareness, contextual support, and vocabulary knowledge, but it remains unclear how these sources operate in typically developing (TD) readers compared to those with developmental dyslexia (DD). This study examined whether morphological cues (suffixes) or/and contextual information facilitate meaning inferenc…
How do teachers view multilingualism in education? Evidence from Greece, Italy and The Netherlands
As an increasing number of multilingual children are enrolled in European schools, it is important to gain more insight into teachers’ attitudes towards multilingual approaches in education. The goal of this study is to investigate the attitudes of primary school teachers in Greece, Italy and the Netherlands, three countries that have a highly multilingual student population but differ with respect to the migration context and language policies. …
Do multilingual children outperform bilinguals in vocabulary knowledge? The role of proficiency
L2 French learning by Eritrean refugee speakers of Tigrinya
This study reports data on 47 Tigrinya speaking Eritrean refugees learning French. L2 French proficiency is assessed through the placement test Ev@lang, a standardized grammar test, and fine corpus analyses. Analysis of individual factors shows that, whereas school education, number of years in Switzerland, and French classes attended play no role in proficiency, age penalizes learning and, critically, multilingualism facilitates it. Corpus analy…
The role of educational setting in the development of verbal aspect and executive functions
The present study aims at exploring: (a) the role of the educational setting in the acquisition of aspect and executive functions (i.e. updating) skills, (b) the acquisition of the aspectual features in Greek-German bilingual children and (c) the impact of updating on the acquisition of aspect. Imperfective aspect has been found to be acquired later than perfective in previous studies. Moreover, a bilingual educational setting seems to enhance no…
