EFL learners’ short-term and long-term memory
Learning a language is one typical and common cognitive phenomenon among human beings. What matters even most, is the additional language learning and advantages it may confer; an issue which cannot be simply overlooked in cognitive studies. The developmental effect of learning an additional language on memory is something that is confirmed in bilinguals. However, can this effect be observed in learning more languages? To this end, the current st…
Concordancing in writing pedagogy and CAF measures of writing
Since the early twenty-first century, data-driven learning (DDL) approach that is a pedagogical application of corpus linguistics in classroom, has introduced a paradigm shift in EFL instruction. Research output, however, concerning this inductive, discovery-oriented learning is equivocal. This study, thus, explored the application of both native-speaker and local learner corpora, attesting the effect of direct vs. indirect DDL activities on 39 E…
Processing instruction
Aimed to change the way input is perceived and processed, processing instruction (PI) tends to help learners focus on particular grammatical forms and alter their inappropriate processing problems so that they make a better form-meaning connection. As an attempt to extend the existing research on the use of PI, the present study was carried out to examine 40 elementary EFL learners’ grammatical achievement having been exposed to PI-based structur…
Examining Acculturation Model in an EFL Context
According to Schumann’s (1986) Acculturation Model, accent acts as a means of the learner’s identification with either his/her mother tongue culture or the target language culture and affects his/her effort to learn English as a target Language. Taking up a critical stance, the present study, thus, aimed at investigating the role that learner attitudes and beliefs play in the language that learners adopt in their mother tongue (MT) or the target …
Attitudes Toward Bilingualism
In multilingual settings where several heritage languages co-exist, the gradual process of assimilation may lead to loss of minority languages. In other words, in such settings, with no provision made for the individuals of the specific heritage languages to learn to read and write their first language (L1), language shift is accelerated and is almost sure to take place. It is therefore urgent to scrutinize the problem from different perspectives…
The Reading Achievement of Third Language versus Second Language Learners of English in Relation to the Interdependence Hypothesis
The present study examines the possible effects of bilinguality on third language learning among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners with a focus on reading comprehension proficiency achievement. This study is a longitudinal survey of EFL learners in Urmia University in Azerbaijan, Iran, during 2002–2004. It compared 56 Turkish–Persian bilinguals with their 42 Persian monolingual peers in terms of their performance on the First Certifica…
