  • Mediating digital screens with very young emerging bilinguals

    Carla Meskill, Gulnara Sadykova et al.ARTICLEBilingual Research Journal2020References: 5

    There is vast potential for digital screens to support early bilingualism. For the most part, however, young children require human mediation with what is generated by screens in order for language and pre-literacy learning to occur. What does that mediation look like when multimodal elements are designed to support children’s language and culture learning? This study examines instructional interactions around Digital Fairytales, multimedia langu…

  • Plays Well With Others: A Study of EFL Learner Reciprocity in Action

    Open AccessCagri Ozkose‐Biyik, Carla MeskillARTICLETESOL Quarterly2015Cited by: 1References: 10

    Classroom observation studies suggest that the teacher‐calculus is complex and sensitive to learner behaviors. In language education, this becomes particularly important due to strong emphasis on productive interpersonal interaction. This study set out to understand what constitutes positive learning behaviors in an EFL context. The construct of learner reciprocity (Feuerstein, Feuerstein, Falik, & Rand, 2002; Lidz, 1991; Poehner, 2008; van der A…

  • Computer Mediated Communication: Tools for Instructing Russian Heritage Language Learners

    Carla Meskill, Natasha AnthonyARTICLEHeritage Language Journal2008

    The unique needs, goals, and constraints of heritage language learners in U.S. higher education and the multiple ways that they differ from those of second and foreign language (L2) learners have been well documented (Brisk, 2000; Chevalier, 2004; Grosjean, 1982; Kagan & Dillon, 2003). Each population uses its two languages in diverse ways, for differing purposes and with vastly dissimilar levels of proficiency. Shaping these distinctions are the…

    There is little question that popular television shows influence the shaping of social norms, identities, and the ways we navigate daily life. High profile shows are also a common magnet for critical attention. No primetime television show has provoked as wide a range of reactions as Fox's The Simpsons. From shock radio to public broadcasting pundits pour condemnations, accolades, and adulations for this unique cartoon sitcom. From the masses to …

  • Bilingualism, Cognitive Flexibility, and Electronic Literacy

    Carla Meskill, Jonathan Mossop et al.ARTICLEBilingual Research Journal1999References: 3

    Electronic text (e-text) is any information displayed via a computer screen including audio, video, graphics, and the written word. As the amount of our reading and writing with electronic texts increases, so do the number of questions concerning the literacy implications of that activity. English Language Learners (ELLs) represent a rich window through which we can begin to glimpse the ways electronic texts are shaping the language and literacy …
