Abstract
ABSTRACT The phonological loop of the working memory system plays a key role in language learning. This study examined the trajectories between two dual-language learner groups (English Learners [ELs] and Spanish Learners [SLs]) on phonological loop measures in L1 and L2. At Grade 1, children completed a battery of vocabulary and cognitive measures and were retested in Grade 3. A series of random effects ANOVAs showed that SLs outperformed ELs on English loop measures, with strong growth in the English loop, but not in Spanish. No significant difference in Spanish loop performance occurred at Grade 3. Considerations for future research and practical implications are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Bilingual Research Journal is the National Association for Bilingual Education’s premier scholarly, peer-reviewed research publication. Bilingual Research Journal delivers in-depth coverage of education theory and practice, dealing with bilingual education, bilingualism, and language policies in education. Topics include: -Assessment- Biliteracy- Indigenous languages- Language planning- Language politics- Multilingualism- Pedagogical approaches- Policy analysis- Instructional research- Language planning- Second language acquisition. The journal has a strong interest in matters related to the education of language minority children and youth in the United States, grades PreK-12, but articles focusing on other countries are often included if they have implications for bilingual education in the U.S.
