    Presented at the Second Language Research Forum, Michigan State University, USA; 30 October 2009 Recent years have brought increasing attention to studies of language acquisition in a country where the language is spoken, as opposed to formal language study in classrooms.

  • Savings in the Relearning of Second Language Vocabulary

    Open AccessLynne Hansen, Yukako Umeda et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2002Cited by: 4

    This article extends the line of research that has recently applied the savings paradigm from cognitive psychology to vocabulary relearning.

The extent of the savings advantage appears to decline over time (with age a confounding factor) and relates significantly to current vocabulary …

While the native speakers tend to pay attention to case markers in interpreting sentences, the Engli…

    Lynne HansenARTICLETESOL Quarterly1984Cited by: 5

    This study analyzes the relationship between field sensitivity and cloze test performance for 286 subjects between the ages of 15 and 19 in six Pacific island cultures. Hawaiian students were found to be significantly more field independent than Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Indian-Fijian, and Tahitian students. In the South Pacific samples, males were significantly more field independent than females, whereas in Hawaii there was no statistically signi…
