Abstract:

The present investigation analyzed early second language (L2) learning in adults. A common finding regarding L2 acquisition is that early learning appears to be necessary in order to perform on the same level as a native speaker. Surprisingly, many current theoretical models posit that the human ability to learn novel speech sounds remains active throughout the lifespan. In light of this fact, this project examines L2 acquisition in late learners with a special focus on L1/L2 use, input, and context of learning. Research regarding L1/L2 use has tended to be observational, and throughout the pr

Abstract:

The present study examined a hypothesized relationship between the following variables: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as described by Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), integrative and instrumental orientation (Gardner & Lambert, 1972), attitudes toward pronunciation, and accent in English-speaking late learners of Japanese. Data collection occurred in two steps: First, English-speaking participants completed three questionnaires designed to measure their motivation and attitudes toward pronunciation; they then provided speech samples in Japanese. Native speakers of Japanese t

Abstract:

The role of age of acquisition in determining level of ultimate second language (L2) attainment is one of the most longstanding and controversial issues in the field of L2 acquisition. In particular, it is unclear whether there are limits to the brain's ability to process a L2 learned after puberty. The research for this dissertation used event related brain potentials (ERPs) to examine the neuro-cognitive processes that late (i.e., post-puberty) L2 learners use when processing L2 morpho-syntax and phonology. It investigated: (1) how the neuro-cognitive bases of L2 processing change as late le

Abstract:

In this thesis I explore the phonological nature of newly acquired perceptual representations by highly proficient late-learners of English whose L1 is Spanish, specifically in the case where two different L2 sounds are being initially mapped onto the same L1 category. I claim that these perceptual representations are not phonemic; rather, what these learners acquire are phonetic representations that can be discriminable under certain conditions in a manner similar to that of native speakers, but that are nevertheless identified as tokens of the same L1 category. Since speech perception is a c

Abstract:

Many researchers have attempted to identify best practices, habits, and conditions of English Language Learners (ELs, ELLs) pertaining to school success. It is clear EL students pose unique and significant challenges, yet unclear what strategies and program models educators can implement to motivate learning, improve educational experiences, and appropriately acknowledge and reward these learners’ accomplishments. Few studies have attempted to determine the difficulties and challenges associated with academic success and probability of graduation for Late-entry English Learners (LEELs), define

Do adult L2 English bilingual speakers have difficulty with cognate words whose meanings are distinct across their two languages? This study explored the extent to which variations in meaning in cross-language cognates affect translation performance in a translation task by L2 English (L1 Spanish) speakers who learned English as adults. A prep-phase experiment was conducted to test native English-speakers’ predicted completions of the study’s stimuli sentences, in order to choose the optimal stimuli for the primary experiment. The method for the primary experiment of this study consisted of a

Abstract:

People usually commence an argument in hope for persuading the other party. These arguments can be a part of their job or personal life, which may influence the life of people around them or sometimes in case of a political debate, can affect lives of millions of people. The situation can get more challenging if the argument is produced in a language other than someone's mother tongue and in this respect, language proficiency can be of great value to them.

Abstract:

This empirical inquiry explored the views of older adult learners with regards to the factors contributing to ‘quality’ in informal, class-based later-life learning. Growing evidence from research in fields such as health, psychology and neuroscience, have identified learning as contributing to the wellbeing of those in later life as well as offering protection from cognitive decline (Field, 2009; Frith, 2011). However, there has been little research focusing on the qualities of informal later-life learning that are valued by older learners. Using a critical geragogical lens, whereby the perce

This research study explores how older people are supported in their pursuit of informal learning within the context of Northern Ireland. It will particularly explore how middle-class retirees interpret and make sense of their involvement in later life learning and the extent to which this contributes to active ageing. Due to the increasing emphasis on informal learning, the responsiveness of Government policy and the role in educational provision by the voluntary and community sector is a particular focus.

Abstract:

As one of the major institutional platforms for the activist intellectuals to inaugurate political and cultural modernity, study societies had been proliferating throughout late Qing China (ca. 1894-1911). While existing studies have subsumed this distinctive sociological phenomenon under the political programmes of the broader reform and revolutionary movements, or conceived it as an instance of prototypical formation of civil society in the sociopolitical context of late Qing, they fail to problematize the meanings and functions of 'civilization' and 'civility' as the constitutive (albeit hi

Abstract:

In practice, the learner with low self worth struggles to achieve certain goals and does not experience success in the classroom. Teachers involved in the lives of these learners do not always have the skills to motivate and handle them in the classroom. The general aim and focus of the research study therefore is to identify the needs of educators in a primary school setting in order to accommodate the learner with low self worth in the classroom. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the Gestalt theory, focussing on the phenomenological method of awareness. The researcher made

Abstract:

This study was initiated when the researcher became aware of the problem that learners from low socio-economic environments tend to experience barriers to learning in numeracy and literacy. These barriers were identified in a class of Grade 1 learners through extensive literature study, after which the development, teaching and learning of numeracy and literacy in grade 1 were investigated. The researcher then developed intervention programmes for literacy and numeracy, each running for a period of six weeks, in order to overcome learners’ difficulties in these learning areas.
