It takes two to make a thing go write
The current study examined self-reported first language (Spanish) language reading and writing ability and behavior and relationships with digit span and stroop task performance. A battery of assessments and questionnaires was administered to 81 sequential Spanish-English bilingual university students in the U.S., for whom the sole language of education is English. Hierarchical regression models revealed self-reported amount of Spanish used for a…
Unifying the current self, ideal self, attributions, self-authenticity, and intended effort
‘Mental Workouts for Couch Potatoes’
Research has yet to reach a definitive consensus on whether or how bilingualism confers benefits on Executive Function (EF): numerous studies show an EF advantage for bilinguals over monolinguals, while others indicate no significant differences. These inconsistencies demonstrate that the mechanisms behind a potential bilingualism-to-EF relationship remain unclear. Multiple factors likely impact EF outcomes among bilinguals, including proficiency…
Exploring variation in reading comprehension among young adult Spanish–English bilinguals
Aims: The goal of this study was to investigate diversity among Spanish–English bilingual university-level students’ reading outcomes and the impact of reading attitudes, motivation, and variation in language environment. Design: The current study included 50 Spanish–English bilingual undergraduate students, mean age 21.8 years, from a university in the western United States. Participants were administered a battery of standardized assessments in…
A systematic review of language learner strategy research in the face of self-regulation
Out-of-class language contact and vocabulary gain in a study abroad context
A context‐specific research tool to probe the out‐of‐class vocabulary‐related strategies of study‐abroad learners
This mixed‐methods study reports the development and employment of an innovative research tool designed to capture in fine detail the vocabulary‐related strategies used by adult learners of English on a study‐abroad experience when exposed to unfamiliar vocabulary outside the classroom. A questionnaire determined the five most identified with out‐of‐class L2 contact scenarios, and subsequently computer‐based simulations of those scenarios were us…
