Instructed second language (L2) research has frequently addressed the effects of spacing, or, alternatively, the distribution of practice effects. The present study addresses Rogers and Cheung’s (2021) concerns about the ecological validity of such work via a natural experiment (Craig et al., 2017). Learners’ self-determined exposure and in-app behavior were examined in relation to language gains over time. Duolingo learners of Spanish or French (N = 287) completed a background questionnaire, scales measuring L2 motivation and grit, and two tests of L2 proficiency before and after a six-month period of user-controlled app usage. Total minutes of app exposure exhibited a correlation with written but not oral proficiency gains. More dependable correlates of gains were frequency- and curriculum-oriented measures. Additionally, L2 grit and motivation were weakly to moderately correlated with several in-app behaviors. We conclude with implications for how apps can best be leveraged to produce L2 gains.
指导性第二语言(L2)研究经常涉及间距的影响,或者说,实践效果的分布。本研究通过自然实验解决了Rogers和Cheung(2021)对此类工作的生态有效性的担忧(Craig et al.,2017)。随着时间的推移,研究了学习者的自主暴露和应用内行为与语言习得的关系。双语西班牙语或法语学习者(N = 287)完成了一份背景问卷、测量二语动机和毅力的量表,以及在用户控制的应用程序使用六个月前后的两次二语熟练度测试。应用程序暴露的总分钟数与书面能力的提高相关,但与口语能力的提高无关。更可靠的收益相关性是以频率和课程为导向的衡量标准。此外,第二语言的毅力和动机与一些应用内行为呈弱到中度相关。最后,我们对如何最好地利用应用程序来产生L2收益提出了建议。

We present three studies that investigate the effect of group-level language ability expectations on language ability judgements. Study 1 identifies expected English-language ability levels that native English speakers’ have for a number of non-native English-speaker groups. Based on the results, two text-based written-guise studies were conducted investigating the level of detriment that grammatical and lexical/typographical errors created on English-language ability ratings for different author guises (Swedish, Chinese, English) in formal (Study 2) and informal contexts (Study 3). In both contexts, grammatical errors produced by the guise representing the lower-ability non-L1 group were overlooked, while the same errors produced by the other guises significantly lowered the ability ratings. Our results coincide with the idea of the ‘sympathetic native speaker’ and expand it, suggesting that expected language level based on linguistic group membership inversely affects the level of sympathy/tolerance demonstrated. We link this to possible pedagogical implications.
本文提出了三个研究,探讨群体水平语言能力期望对语言能力判断的影响。研究1确定了以英语为母语的人对一些非英语为母语的群体的预期英语能力水平。在此基础上,我们进行了两项基于文本的书面伪装研究,调查了语法和词汇/排版错误对正式(研究2)和非正式(研究3)中不同作者伪装(瑞典语、汉语、英语)的英语能力评级造成的损害程度。在这两种情况下,由伪装产生的语法错误都被忽略了,这些伪装代表了能力较低的非l1群体。而同样的错误由其他伪装产生显著降低能力评级。我们的研究结果与“富有同情心的母语人士”的观点一致,并将其扩展,表明基于语言群体成员的预期语言水平与所表现出的同情/宽容水平成反比。我们将此与可能的教学意义联系起来。

This study examined the relationships between individual differences in the executive component of working memory, and language analytical ability and the effectiveness of recasts, explicit correction and, metalinguistic prompts on the second-language (L2) development of the English past progressive. Participants were 155 Japanese learners of English, who were divided into recast, explicit correction, metalinguistic prompt, and task-only groups. The treatment groups completed tasks that required past progressive usage and received feedback. The executive component of working memory and language analytical ability were measured by the reading span test and LLAMA F. The outcome measures were an untimed grammaticality judgment test (UGJT) and elicited imitation test (EIT), which measured the participants’ declarative and procedural knowledge, respectively. The participants performed the pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest. Multiple regression analyses showed that the executive component of working memory was significantly associated with the gain scores of the UGJT for the recast group and with the gain scores of the EIT for the metalinguistic prompt group. Language analytical ability was not associated with gain scores regardless of the test type for all groups.
本研究考察了工作记忆执行成分、语言分析能力的个体差异与重铸、外显纠正和元语言提示对英语过去进行语第二语言(L2)发展的有效性之间的关系。参与者是155名日本英语学习者,他们被分为重铸组、外显纠正组、元语言提示组和仅任务组。治疗组完成了需要过去逐步使用的任务,并收到了反馈。通过阅读广度测试和LLAMA F.测量工作记忆的执行成分和语言分析能力。结果测量是无计时语法判断测试(UGJT)和引发模仿测试(EIT),分别测量参与者的陈述性和程序性知识。参与者进行了前测、即时后测和延迟后测。多元回归分析表明,工作记忆的执行成分与重铸组的UGJT增益得分和元语言提示组的EIT增益得分显著相关。无论测试类型如何,所有组的语言分析能力都与得分无关。

An important dimension that characterizes the contextual differences in second language acquisition (SLA) is the degree to which instruction is implicit or explicit. However, whether these differences in context play a role in determining the neural activity to process L2 grammar has not been well characterized. The present study investigated this issue by comparing the neural regions activated in response to novel L2 syntactic rules acquired under conditions of implicit and explicit instruction. In addition, participants’ declarative and procedural memories were measured to better understand the mediating effect of memory during learning under different conditions. Explicitly and implicitly instructed learners showed statistically indistinguishable behavioral performance. Region of interest (ROI) analysis also revealed that the task activated both declarative and procedural memory structures suggesting that instructional context did not affect the recruitment of memory systems when processing L2 syntax.
表征二语习得语境差异的一个重要维度是教学的内隐或外显程度。然而,这些语境差异是否在决定二语语法加工的神经活动中起作用尚未得到很好的表征。本研究通过比较内隐和外显条件下习得的新二语句法规则所激活的神经区域来探讨这一问题。此外,为了更好地了解不同条件下记忆在学习过程中的中介作用,我们还测量了被试的陈述性记忆和程序性记忆。显性和隐性指导学习者的行为表现在统计上没有区别。感兴趣区域(ROI)分析还显示,该任务同时激活了陈述性和程序性记忆结构,这表明在处理第二语言语法时,教学背景并不影响记忆系统的补充。

Corpus linguistic methods can now be easily employed in a wide range of studies within sub-disciplines of linguistics and well beyond. In a two-part paper, Gries (2022a, 2022b) challenges some of the most widely used ‘association measures’ of what many might feel to be powerful aspects of text patterning: collocation and key words. While the additional association measure offers some new possibilities, this paper highlights the strong influence of another frequency parameter on odds ratio and Gries’s suggested association measure, and questions the applicability of his cautions for many different kinds of corpus research. Nevertheless, having been inspired to look at different aspects of association and dispersion more carefully, the author presents some new visualizations which were designed to communicate some of the important lessons to be learned from Gries’s papers, especially for learners and teachers using corpus tools in Second Language classrooms.
语料库语言学方法现在可以很容易地应用于语言学子学科以及其他学科的广泛研究中。在一篇由两部分组成的论文中,Gries(2022a2022b)挑战了一些最广泛使用的“关联测量”,即许多人可能认为文本模式强大的方面:搭配和关键词。虽然额外的关联测度提供了一些新的可能性,但本文强调了另一个频率参数对比值比和Gries建议的关联测度的强烈影响,并质疑他的注意事项在许多不同类型的语料库研究中的适用性。尽管如此,作者还是受到启发,更仔细地研究了关联和分散的不同方面,提出了一些新的可视化方法,旨在传达从Gries的论文中可以学到的一些重要教训,特别是对于在第二语言课堂上使用语料库工具的学习者和教师来说。

Developing and evaluating a contextualized interactional competence rating scale based on a metaphorical conceptualization 基于隐喻概念化的情境化互动能力评定量表的开发与评价

Rating scales developed to measure interactional competence (IC) are mainly data-driven which can incur unaffordable costs for assessment practitioners with limited resources, such as universities using this test for placement purposes. A cheaper alternative is to use models proposed in the literature to develop such rating scales. This mixed-methods study evaluates a contextualized analytic IC rating scale developed based on Galaczi and Taylor’s (2018) metaphorical conceptualization of IC. A many-facet Rasch analysis indicated this rating scale could separate examinees into three levels of ability, which was lower than the expected four levels. To explore this finding, raters were interviewed about their experiences of using this rating scale. The findings show the potential and limitations of developing contextualized IC ratings scales based on literature and possible avenues for future research. They also suggest a direct interaction between assessment and instructional practices of IC with implications for language teaching.

Speech competence and speech performance 言语能力与言语表现

This study examined Chinese-as-a-second-language (L2 Chinese) learners’ speech production ability from a dual perspective: speech competence and speech performance. A total of 118 valid L2 Chinese learners finished two developed tests in this study, namely, the Chinese speech competence test and the Chinese speech performance test. The results suggested that L2 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance, as a twofold rendering of their L2 speech production ability, not only showed a significant positive correlation with a large effect size (Pearson’s r = .598) but also significantly predicted each other with a large effect size (Cohen f2  = .555). However, such large effect sizes of the correlation and the prediction between speech competence and speech performance were not supported among the upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners. This suggested that the development between speech competence and speech performance may be more unbalanced among the upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners compared with their advanced counterparts. The study adds evidence to the call for a multidimensional evaluation of L2 speech production ability. It is hoped that the dual approach (i.e., speech competence and speech performance) proposed in the present study may contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of learners’ L2 Chinese speech production ability. Consequently, classroom-based teaching can be tailored to facilitate a more balanced development of L2 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance.
本研究从言语能力和言语表现两方面考察了汉语作为第二语言学习者的言语产生能力。118名有效的二语汉语学习者完成了本研究开发的两项测试,即汉语言语能力测试和汉语言语表现测试。结果表明,汉语二语学习者的言语能力和言语表现作为其二语言语产生能力的双重呈现,不仅与大效应量呈显著正相关(Pearson’s r = .598),而且在大效应量下相互显著预测(Cohen’s f2 = .555)。然而,在中上二汉语学习者中,言语能力与言语表现之间的相关性和预测并不支持如此大的效应量。这表明中高水平汉语二语学习者的言语能力和言语表现的发展可能比中高水平汉语二语学习者更不平衡。该研究为对第二语言产生能力进行多维评估的呼吁提供了证据。希望本研究提出的言语能力和言语表现的双重评价方法能够更全面地评价学习者的二语汉语言语产生能力。因此,课堂教学可以量身定制,以促进第二语言汉语学习者的语言能力和语言表现的更平衡的发展。

Semantic embedding approaches commonly used in natural language processing such as transformer models have rarely been used to examine L2 lexical knowledge. Importantly, their performance has not been contrasted with more traditional annotation approaches to lexical knowledge. This study used NLP techniques related to lexical annotations and semantic embedding approaches to model the receptive vocabulary of L2 learners based on their lexical production during a writing task. The goal of the study is to examine the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches in understanding L2 lexical knowledge. Findings indicate that transformer approaches based on semantic embeddings outperform linguistic annotations and Word2vec models in predicting L2 learners’ vocabulary scores. The findings help to support the strength and accuracy of semantic-embedding approaches as well as their generalizability across tasks when compared to linguistic feature models. Limitations to semantic-embedding approaches, especially interpretability, are discussed.
语义嵌入方法通常用于自然语言处理,如变压器模型,很少用于检查二语词汇知识。重要的是,它们的表现没有与更传统的词汇知识注释方法进行对比。本研究使用与词汇注释和语义嵌入相关的自然语言处理技术,基于二语学习者在写作任务中的词汇生成,对其接受性词汇进行建模。本研究的目的是考察这两种方法在理解二语词汇知识方面的优缺点。研究结果表明,基于语义嵌入的转换方法在预测二语学习者词汇成绩方面优于语言注释和Word2vec模型。与语言特征模型相比,这些发现有助于支持语义嵌入方法的强度和准确性,以及它们在任务间的泛化性。讨论了语义嵌入方法的局限性,特别是可解释性。

Grounded in the sociocultural theoretical framework, this study compared peer interaction among same-grade (similar proficiency) and different grade (different proficiency) pairs in terms of patterns of interaction established and learning opportunities that such interactions afford. The same learners (N = 24) aged between 10 and 12 interacted with the same and different grade partners during common classroom lessons in two EFL classrooms. Findings reveal that grade matched pairs tended to establish patterns of interaction conducive to learning while different grade pairs tended not to. However, the relationship between patterns of interaction and learning opportunities is not clear-cut.
本研究以社会文化理论框架为基础,比较了同年级(水平相近)和不同年级(水平不同)的同伴互动模式,以及这种互动提供的学习机会。同样的10 - 12岁的学习者(N = 24)在两个英语教室的普通课堂上与相同和不同年级的伙伴进行互动。结果表明,年级配对倾向于建立有利于学习的互动模式,而不同年级配对则不倾向于建立有利于学习的互动模式。然而,互动模式和学习机会之间的关系并不明确。
