Assessing the relationship between extramural English and L2 writing
This study examines the relationship between engagement in extramural English (EE) activities and second language (L2) writing among 96 high school learners of English. Participants completed an EE questionnaire and a writing task. Their texts were analyzed using measures of syntactic and lexical complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Watching audiovisual content with English captions or without subtitles showed the strongest positive correlations wi…
Exploring teachers’ perspectives on extramural English
This study explores how secondary school English teachers in Portugal and Spain perceive extramural English (EE) and integrate it into English Language Teaching (ELT). EE involves any exposure to English outside the classroom, through watching videos, listening to music, or playing games – these being the activities identified by teachers in both countries as the most common among their students. The study analyzes teachers’ perspectives on the f…
Crosslinguistic Influence in Multilingualism
This entry focuses on Crosslinguistic Influence in Multilingualism. The definition of the term is provided, as well as the comparison with the term “interference,” which only covers the effects of negative transfer. The different directions Crosslinguistic Influence (CLI) can take, for example, from the L1 to the L2, from the L2 to the L1 (reverse transfer), in both directions (bidirectionality), and from the L3 to the Ln (lateral transfer), are …
Adolescents’ informal exposure to English as a second language in the context of Galicia
This study examines the effects of informal English exposure on vocabulary, grammar, and writing. A total of 178 Galician adolescent learners of English completed a placement test, a language background and an out-of-school English activities questionnaire, and three language tasks: a grammaticality judgement test, a vocabulary test, and a writing task. Findings revealed that the most common out-of-school activities were listening to music, watch…
Boundary-crossing events in audio descriptions across English and Spanish
Boundary-crossing events have been analyzed from the perspective of the thinking-for-speaking hypothesis (Slobin, 1996) both in first and second language acquisition. Moreover, this framework has also been applied to translation, leading to the thinking-for-translating hypothesis. Audio description (AD) is a type of intersemiotic translation (Jakobson, 1959) that involves translation across sign systems. In this field of research, no studies have…

Out-of-school contact with L2 English across four educational levels
This paper aims at analyzing learners’ perspectives on the improvement of the four skills, vocabulary and grammar with out-of-school contact with L2 English, their interest in including out-of-school activities in the classroom, the type of activities they report doing out of-school and their perception of the advantages and disadvantages of using out-of-school activities in the classroom. Four groups of participants took part in the study (secon…
Thinking-for-translating in comics
This study contributes to the analysis of thinking-for-translating in comics. It explores the translation of motion events in five albums of the French comic Asterix and its corresponding translations into Galician and into English. It aims at analysing any differences in the number and the type of motion verbs used across the three languages and the strategies used to translate Manner and Path of motion verbs. With this purpose in mind, the stud…
Crosslinguistic Influence in Second Language Acquisition
Crosslinguistic influence refers to the effect of a language on another. This entry outlines the different primary and secondary terms that have been used to refer to this issue and the different directions transfer can take, such as from L1 to L2, from L2 to L1, among others, and how it can affect both perception and production. Manifestations of transfer such as errors or hypercorrections are also mentioned. As it is a controversial topic, diff…
Speaking in a Second Language
For millions of individuals all over the world, speaking in a second language is a daily activity. It is therefore important that research in applied linguistics should contribute empirically to the study of second language spoken interaction. The aim of this volume is to make such a contribution by providing research-based insights into current approaches to the teaching and learning of this skill. Two key dimensions define the papers included h…
Translating motion events into typologically distinct languages
Translation studies on the expression of Manner-of-motion in typological different languages have raised the interest of translators since the early work of thinking-for-speaking studies. Semantic typology has greatly influenced research on motion events and lies at the basis of the thinking for speaking hypothesis, a more cautious and dynamic version of linguistic relativity, which was applied to translation and termed thinking for translating. …
The translation of motion events from Spanish into English
This study is based on the theoretical framework of conceptual transfer established by Jarvis (1998, 2007) and on the typology of satellite-framed and verb-framed languages developed by Talmy (1985, 2000). The relationship between conceptual transfer and the thinking for speaking hypothesis (Slobin, 1996b) is also considered. We show that conceptual transfer applies in the translation of lexicalization patterns in motion events from Spanish into …
