Abstract:

A foreign language is almost the only subject, the study of which cannot be imagined without the use of dictionaries. Widespread involvement of dictionaries, in which the greatest concentration of information about the word is concentrated, is one of the conditions for actualization of cognitive and communicative needs of students. Foreign language has an extraordinary integration with other branches of knowledge, and dictionaries are a necessary means of learning that supports the trend of rapid updating and dissemination of information. The results of the analysis of programs, textbooks, met

Abstract:

Evidence has accumulated that learningChinese as a Foreign/Second Language (CFL/CSL) andas a Heritage Language (CHL) are not the same–it has been proposed, therefore, that different learning strategies and different pedagogy are needed for these two groups of learners. However, knowledge of CHL-specific learning strategies is incomplete, andTCHL-specific pedagogy is under development (Lynch, 2003a). The current comparative study investigates heritage and non-heritage Chinese students’ perceptions of language learning strategy use. It also explores correlations among learners’ individual variab

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of service-learning on native and non-native English speaking college composition students. The general research question is: In what ways does participation in service-learning impact student learning? Specific research questions pertaining to the general categories of student writing performance, motivation, and social orientation, are as follows: (1) Does service-learning impact students' perception of self, school, community, and society? If so, how? (2) Do native and non-native English speaking students respond to service-learning similarly? Why or why not?

Abstract:

Minority children have consistently received less than an equitable education compared to children of non-minority backgrounds. Inequitable treatment has been evidenced by the disproportionate number of minority children in special education programs. The overrepresentation of minorities has been documented primarily in mentally retarded and learning disabilities (LD) programs. Hispanics (Spanish speakers), in particular, have been among these minorities. The projected increase of Hispanics in the population over the next ten years compounds the problem of overrepresentation. Contributing fact

Abstract:

This study explores issues related to native and non-native English speaking teachers in the context of Japanese English education, specifically in public junior high school settings in relatively rural areas of Japan.

These stakeholders seem to have preconceived assumptions about the roles of native and non-native teachers. These include native teac

This study compares how L2 learners react to particular translation tasks and to monolingual tasks and specifically investigates the outcomes of using translation tasks to (1) engender language-related discussions in class and (2) foster improvement in

Ability tests play an important role in the assessment programs of many schools. However, the inferences about ability made from such tests presume that students understand the tasks they are attempting. Task familiarity can vary by student as well as by format. By design, nonverbal reasoning tests use formats that are intended to be novel. The popularity of nonverbal reasoning tests has increased substantially in recent years because of the increasing number of English-language learner (ELL) students in many U.S. school districts.

Abstract:

Spanish<br>Ph.D.<br>This study is based on an investigation of the effect of contextual and non-contextual vocabulary strategies carried out among three different sections of middle school students in the researcher's own beginning level Spanish classroom. Although all students participated in the same textbook related classroom activities, students in Group 1 received explicit instruction on contextual (wrote novel sentences, used a bilingual dictionary and morphological analysis) and non-contextually based vocabulary strategies (cognitive and semantic processing); students in Group 2 used bi

Abstract:

This is a case study of a multilingual Standard Nine class in a non-racial Cape Town college, studying English as a first language. It assesses the social and academic effects of the multilingual composition of the class. The study locates the class in the broader South African social and educational context and provides a rationale for emancipatory and reciprocal research. The theoretical foundation for the research methodology, i.e. participant observation, with the teacher as primary observer, is then presented. Theories of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) are discussed in relation to the

Abstract:

Electropalatography (EPG) is a computer-based tracking system designed to provide real-time visual biofeedback of articulatory contacts occurring during speech production. Historically, EPG technology has proven functional within the treatment and assessment of speech disorders however, application of EPG technology to assist in second language learning has remained limited. The present thesis is part of a larger study examining the effectiveness of using EPG as an advanced instructional tool for assisting second language (L2) learners of German.
