From Articulation to Validation
This article details the challenges and best practices of evaluating second language learners for placement into postsecondary Spanish language courses. The literature on testing for placement purposes in second language acquisition and language testing provides a great deal of insight, but language programs must make many decisions as well that draw from their specific student base and program characteristics to develop appropriate instruments t…
Self‐study in language learning
While much second language acquisition research has focused on characteristics of in‐class language study, little is known about the characteristics and effectiveness of out‐of‐class language study. This exploratory study addresses this gap by analyzing questionnaire data from 707 adult students enrolled in intensive (6–16 months) language study regarding preferred out‐of‐class activities and time spent on these activities in relation to language…
From number agreement to the subjunctive
This article contributes to typological plausibility of Processability Theory (PT) (Pienemann, 1998, 2005) by providing empirical data that show that the stages predicted by PT are followed in the second language (L2) acquisition of Spanish syntax and morphology. In the present article, the PT stages for L2 Spanish morphology and syntax are first hypothesized after a brief description of PT theory. The results of a corpus of conversational data b…
Tense or Aspect
This essay contributes to the research on the emergence of tense/aspect morphology by reviewing the results and task conditions of studies supporting either the Aspect Hypothesis (AH) or the Default Past Tense Hypothesis (DPTH) for second language (L2) learners of Spanish. The AH has found that past marking emerges based on inherent aspectual categories (Andersen 1991; Andersen and Shirai 1994), and the DPTH proposes (Salaberry 1999, 2002, 2003, …
The Conversational Historical Present in Oral Spanish Narratives
This article contributes to the literature on the use of the present tense to refer to past events in oral narratives, otherwise known as the Conversational Historical Present (CHP) (). Previous research has found that the CHP switches with the past () frequently with verbs of saying and achievement verbs (; ). The present study provides new insights on the CHP in Spanish in conversational narratives and story-retell narratives. Specifically, the…
