Abstract:

This thesis opens with the story of Matthew and his electric motor to illustrate the exemplary science learning that occurs when careful attention is paid to the cultural, social, and emotional dimensions of the learning environment. Matthew’s story and the other narratives of exemplary learning documented in this thesis evidence the exceptional intellectual skills and academic potential of inner city urban youth. It is however unfortunate to note that while these displays of scientific fluency are indicative of their inherent possibilities, the stark reality is that most students in this larg

Abstract:

This thesis advocates the importance of representational fluency in physics education. Multiple representations in science (e.g. graphs, words, equations, and diagrams) has been an area of much interest in physics education research in recent years. Representational fluency, however, is a somewhat novel idea. The thesis argues that this little-used term, representational fluency, is a way to draw together various ideas on how and why the use of multiple representations is important for physics students, educators, and education researchers alike. Representational fluency is investigated by co

This study explores the development of second language (L2) fluency during a semester abroad and its relationship to the development of grammar, vocabulary, and language processing speed. It also considers the influence of individual participants' first language (L1) and pre-study abroad (SA) L2 fluency on the development of fluency during study abroad. Additionally, the study examines issues in the measurement of fluency, focusing on questions related to measuring pauses in L2 speech.

This study presents a multicase study that looked at the fluency development of three fourth grade readers of varying reading abilities. The participants were chosen based on two scores, their words correct per minute (WCPM) score and their Multidimensional Fluency Scale score (MFS). The three students participated in an eight-week intervention in which readers theaters were used for fluency instruction and practice. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used as the researcher observed the students during the literacy block of the day; interviewed the three participants three times; o

Abstract:

The thesis explored disfluencies in stuttering through linguistic contrasts between English and German. Part one focused on the analysis of speech samples of German speaking adults and children who stutter. Part two analysed bilingual German-English language development aiming to examine whether increased cognitive load of two languages is related to language errors. Since people who stutter do not speak disfluently all the time, but have stretches where speech is fluent, research has investigated whether there is a consistent pattern predicting fluency breakdown (Brown, 1937, 1938a, 1938b, 19

Abstract:

When they have the opportunity to repeat a pedagogic task, learners speak with a higher degree of fluency during the second or subsequent performance. The impact of repetition on learners’ fluency on entirely new tasks, however, is less clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two inherently repetitive pedagogic task sequences on short-term fluency and also the extent to which any increased fluency in the short-term was maintained on a new task (i.e. a ‘transfer effect’). One of these task sequences involved repetition of the same task (TR) and the other engaged learners

Developing reading fluency in a first language (L1) is a topic that has received a considerable amount of attention. Developing reading fluency in a second language (L2), however, has received relatively little attention (Grabe, 2009). Anderson (2008) defines reading fluency as "reading at an appropriate rate with adequate comprehension." For adult ESL learners, Anderson suggests a minimum rate of 200 wpm with at least 70% comprehension. Previous studies that have been conducted on L2 reading fluency focus primarily on reading rate development. This study seeks to combine rate development and

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the role of formulaic language in second language (L2) speech fluency development, within a cognitive and information processing framework. Fluency has been studied and defined in terms of temporal variables of speech such as rate of speech, pause frequency and distribution, and the length of fluent runs between pauses. It has been suggested by several researchers that the key to fluency in spontaneous speech is mastery of a repertoire of formulaic language sequences, multiword strings processed mentally as single words (Schmidt, 1991; Towell, Hawkins, and Ba
