The aim of the research is to investigate the interdependence between dyslexia, self-efficacy, and foreign language instruction. The author of the study applied a mixed-method: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative data were collected through self-efficacy questionnaires filled out by dyslexic and non-dyslexic students, and the qualitative data were collected during a case study conducted with a dyslexic student. The research findings in the first quantitative part of the study reveal that self-efficacy in dyslexic students is substantially lower than in non-dyslexic students. According to the results of the second mixed, quantitative - qualitative part of the study encompassing a case study, foreign language instruction has an impact on dyslexic students’ self-efficacy and appropriate language instruction rises self-efficacy in students with dyslexia.
本研究旨在探讨阅读障碍、自我效能感与外语教学之间的相互依存关系。该研究的作者采用了一种混合方法:定量和定性。定量数据是通过阅读障碍和非阅读障碍学生填写的自我效能问卷收集的,定性数据是在对一名阅读障碍学生进行的案例研究中收集的。研究第一个定量部分的研究结果表明,阅读障碍学生的自我效能感明显低于非阅读障碍学生。根据包含案例研究的第二个定量-定性混合部分的研究结果,外语教学对阅读障碍学生的自我效能感有影响,适当的语言教学提高了阅读障碍学生自我效能感。

This study aims to explore the missing link between English textbooks used in high schools (9th-12th grades) and English university entrance exams (2010-2019) in Turkey on lexical and syntactic complexity levels by using corpus linguistics tools: AntWordProfiler, TAALED, and the L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA). Official textbooks and complementary materials obtained from the Ministry of National Education have been compared against the official university entrance exams from the past decade. The results show that: (i) differences in lexical sophistication level can be observed between the two corpora, the lexical sophistication level of the exam corpus was higher than that of the textbook corpus, (ii) there is a statistically significant difference between the two corpora in terms of lexical diversity, the exam corpus has a significantly higher level of lexical diversity than the textbook corpus, (iii) statistically significant differences also existed between the two corpora regarding the syntactic complexity indices. The syntactic complexity level of the exam corpus was higher than that of the textbook corpus. The findings suggest that Turkish high school students who have to learn English with the official textbooks throughout their high school years will have to tackle low-frequency and more sophisticated words at a higher level of  syntactic complexity at the time of taking the nationwide exam. This, in return, creates a negative backwash effect, distorts their approach to L2, and raises other concerns about the misalignment between the official language education materials and nationwide exams.
本研究旨在通过使用语料库语言学工具:AntWordProfiler、TAALED和L2句法复杂性分析器(L2SCA),探索土耳其高中英语教科书(9 -12年级)和英语大学入学考试(2010-2019)在词汇和句法复杂性水平上缺失的联系。从国家教育部获得的官方教科书和补充材料与过去十年的官方大学入学考试进行了比较。结果表明:(1)两种语料库在词汇复杂程度上存在差异,考试语料库的词汇复杂程度高于教科书语料库;(2)两种语料库在词汇多样性方面存在统计学差异,考试语料库的词汇多样性水平显著高于教科书语料库;(3)两种语料库在句法复杂度指标上也存在显著差异。考试语料库的句法复杂程度高于教科书语料库。研究结果表明,在整个高中阶段都必须用官方教科书学习英语的土耳其高中生,在参加全国考试时,将不得不以更高的句法复杂性来解决低频和更复杂的单词。反过来,这会产生负面的反作用,扭曲他们学习第二语言的方法,并引起人们对官方语言教材和全国性考试之间不一致的其他担忧。

The growing number of EMI courses offered across Europe is increasing the opportunities for student exchanges. This study follows the progress of three students from Universitat de Lleida after their Erasmus experience at three different European universities, two in Milano and one in Macerata. The students took a monological English oral test before and after their stay abroad, and fluency and accuracy measures have been calculated from it. The students were also interviewed and participated in FG discussions. The measures from the two students who went to Milano show an improvement in their English level, whereas the student who went to Macerata performs even worse on his return. However, the experience from the two students in Milano was substantially different from the one who went to Macerata. Using the ethnographic information and the qualitative data available, we bring forward arguments that can help to account for these different outcomes.
欧洲各地提供的EMI课程数量不断增加,增加了学生交流的机会。这项研究跟踪了莱里达大学的三名学生在三所不同的欧洲大学(两所在米兰,一所在马切拉塔)的伊拉斯谟经历后的进展。学生们在出国前和出国后进行了单科英语口语测试,并据此计算了流利度和准确性。学生们还接受了采访并参加了FG讨论。两名去米兰的学生的测量结果显示,他们的英语水平有所提高,而去马切拉塔的学生在回来后表现更差。然而,这两名学生在米兰的经历与去马切拉塔的经历有很大不同。利用人种学信息和现有的定性数据,我们提出了有助于解释这些不同结果的论点。

The Relationship between Attention and Extraneous Load 注意与无关负荷的关系
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.9986
Christopher Hughes, J. Costley, C. Lange
There has been a call in recent years for an integration of cognitive load theory into instructed second language acquisition practices to assist language learners by taking advantage of theories on human cognitive architecture. This paper seeks to move the conversation on how this integration might be achieved by presenting findings from survey data conducted with learners enrolled online courses at a cyber-university in South Korea (n = 68). Findings show a statistically significant positive relationship between distraction and extraneous load. These results are used to postulate a model for explaining the how the effects of extraneous load on attention can be integrated into second language learning theory. Pedagogic implications of this are the value of explicitly signaling key vocabulary and grammar, ensure spatial and temporal considerations are made when using multimodal instruction, and placing learners at the center of decisions on the blend of media they experience in instruction.   
近年来,有人呼吁将认知负荷理论纳入指导性的第二语言习得实践,以利用人类认知结构理论来帮助语言学习者。本文试图通过介绍对在韩国一所网络大学(n=68)注册在线课程的学习者进行的调查数据,推动关于如何实现这种融合的对话。研究结果显示,分心和外来负荷之间存在统计学上显著的正相关关系。这些结果被用来假设一个模型来解释外部负荷对注意力的影响如何被整合到第二语言学习理论中。这一点的教育意义在于明确传达关键词汇和语法的价值,确保在使用多模式教学时考虑空间和时间因素,并将学习者置于他们在教学中体验到的媒体融合决策的中心。

Gender-based Differences in EFL Learners' Language Learning Strategies and Productive Vocabulary 英语学习者语言学习策略与生成性词汇的性别差异
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.8594
Alejandra Montero-SaizAja
Gender is a key factor in the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), where its impact on language learning strategies (Aslan, 2009; Oxford & Nyikos, 1989; Sumarni & Rachmawaty, 2019) and productive vocabulary (Canga Alonso & Arribas García, 2014; Fleckenstein, 2018; Jiménez Catalán & Moreno Espinosa, 2004) has been investigated. However, to our knowledge, there is a lack of research of gender on language learning strategies in relation to productive vocabulary in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The present study aimed to pursue three objectives. The first one was to ascertain whether males or females employed more language learning strategies. The second objective was to determine whether males or females had more productive vocabulary. Finally, the third objective was to investigate whether there was a statistically significant relationship between language learning strategies and productive vocabulary. The sample consisted of 51 EFL learners (20 males and 31 females) at the second year of Spanish non-compulsory Secondary Education (equivalent to 12th grade). The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire (Oxford, 1990) and the Productive Vocabulary Levels Test (PVLT) (Laufer & Nation, 1995, 1999) were the instruments employed in order to measure informants’ language learning strategies and productive vocabulary respectively. Afterwards, students’ answers were processed electronically and analyzed quantitatively. Results revealed that females use language learning strategies significantly more than males, but there were not statistically significant differences between them regarding productive vocabulary. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between language learning strategies and productive vocabulary.  
性别是第二语言习得(SLA)领域的一个关键因素,它影响着语言学习策略(Aslan, 2009;Oxford & Nyikos, 1989;Sumarni & Rachmawaty, 2019)和生产性词汇(cana Alonso & Arribas García, 2014;, 2018;jimsamnez Catalán & Moreno Espinosa, 2004)已被调查。然而,据我们所知,关于外语学习中产生性词汇的语言学习策略的性别研究还很缺乏。本研究旨在实现三个目标。第一个是确定男性和女性是否使用更多的语言学习策略。第二个目标是确定男性还是女性的词汇量更丰富。最后,第三个目标是调查语言学习策略和生产性词汇之间是否存在统计学上显著的关系。样本包括51名西班牙非义务中学教育(相当于12年级)第二年的英语学习者(20名男性和31名女性)。语言学习策略量表(SILL)问卷(Oxford, 1990)和生产性词汇水平测试(PVLT) (Laufer & Nation, 1995,1999)分别被用来测量被调查者的语言学习策略和生产性词汇。之后,学生们的答案被电子处理并进行定量分析。结果显示,女性使用语言学习策略的频率明显高于男性,但在生产性词汇方面,男女差异无统计学意义。此外,语言学习策略与生产性词汇之间存在正相关关系。

Praise in the EFL Classroom 英语课堂中的赞美
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.9098
Adrian Leis
This study investigates how praising students’ success in tasks affects the performance of other students who were not successful. Possible and impossible crossword puzzles were used as an experiment to engender fixed mindsets in half of the sample. The average time to complete a crossword puzzle at the pretest was compared to the average time to complete the same puzzle at the posttest. The results showed that students given possible crossword puzzles were able to make significant improvements in the speed with which they could complete the puzzle at the posttest stage. However, such improvements in performance were not seen among the students who had been temporarily primed into a fixed mindset during the experiment through the use of the impossible crossword puzzles. Reasons behind these results as well as pedagogical implications related to effective ways of giving praise and other feedback will be discussed.
本研究调查了表扬学生在任务中的成功如何影响其他不成功学生的表现。可能和不可能的填字游戏被用作实验,在一半的样本中产生固定的心态。将在前测中完成填字游戏的平均时间与在后测中完成相同谜题的平均时间进行比较。研究结果表明,学生们在完成填字游戏后的测试阶段,能够显著提高他们完成该游戏的速度。然而,在实验期间,通过使用不可能的填字游戏,学生们暂时进入了固定的心态,但他们的表现并没有得到这样的改善。将讨论这些结果背后的原因,以及与给予表扬和其他反馈的有效方式相关的教学意义。

Using Character Strengths to Address English Writing Anxiety 运用性格优势解决英语写作焦虑
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.8431
T. Gregersen, P. MacIntyre, R. Buck
Positive psychology has been introduced to the applied linguistics literature with the broad goal of improving the experience of language learners and teachers through a variety of interventions (MacIntyre & Mercer, 2014; Gabryś-Barker & Gałajda, 2016). “The aim of positive psychology is to catalyze a change in psychology from preoccupation only with repairing the worst things in life to also building the best qualities in life” (Seligman &Csikszentmihalyi, 2000, p. 5). One significant contribution of this young field has been a series of empirically-tested positive psychology interventions (PPIs) that have been shown to increase positive emotion, reduce distress, and/or improve well-being (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005; Sin & Lyubormirsky, 2009). In the present research, we examine one application of a PPI involving a focus on using character strengths as a way to address language anxiety. Through a case study analysis, we demonstrate the ways that this intervention was beneficial for the student.             
积极心理学已被引入应用语言学文献,其广泛目标是通过各种干预措施改善语言学习者和教师的体验(MacIntyre&Mercer,2014;Gabryś-Barker&Gałajda,2016)。“积极心理学的目的是促进心理学的转变,从专注于修复生活中最糟糕的事情,到同时培养生活中最好的品质”(Seligman&Csikszentmihalyi,2000,第5页)。这一年轻领域的一个重要贡献是一系列经过实证检验的积极心理干预措施(PPI),这些干预措施已被证明可以增加积极情绪、减少痛苦和/或改善幸福感(Seligman,Steen,Park,&Peterson,2005;Sin和Lyubormirsky,2009年)。在目前的研究中,我们考察了PPI的一个应用,涉及到使用性格优势作为解决语言焦虑的一种方法。通过案例分析,我们展示了这种干预对学生有益的方式。

Learning Japanese Onomatopoeia through a Narrative-Evaluation E-Learning System 通过叙事评价电子学习系统学习日语拟声词
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-09 DOI: 10.31261/TAPSLA.8514
Xiao-yang Li
In Japanese, onomatopoeia are an important element in expressing feelings and experiences. They are difficult for students of Japanese to acquire, especially the nuances. Herein, we propose an e-learning system to improve the efficiency of teaching the nuances – both explicit and tacit – to non-native speakers of Japanese in three steps. We synthesized a new learning strategy available to students leaning Japanese onomatopoeia using narrative strategies to mimic the learning methods used by native speakers. This was achieved by firstly teaching the formal rules representing the explicit nuances. Secondly, the students created new onomatopoeic words by utilizing those formal rules. Finally, feedback was provided by evaluating the onomatopoeias created through the support system of narrative strategies to provide implicit teaching. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and the learning system, we conducted an experiment involving two groups of subjects. While Group A got feedback about the appropriateness of their onomatopoeic constructions from the native speakers’ narrative interpretations, Group B just reviewed the database material like in a traditional classroom. Results indicate our e-learning system has a significant effect on the acquisition of a working understanding of onomatopoeia.
在日语中,拟声词是表达情感和经历的重要元素。日语学生很难掌握它们,尤其是其中的细微差别。在此,我们提出了一个电子学习系统,以通过三个步骤提高向非母语为日语的人教授细微差别(包括显性和隐性)的效率。我们合成了一种新的学习策略,可用于学习日语拟声词的学生,使用叙事策略来模仿母语人士使用的学习方法。这是通过首先教授代表明确细微差别的形式规则来实现的。其次,学生利用这些形式规则创造新的拟声词。最后,通过评价通过叙事策略支持系统创造的拟声词来提供反馈,以提供内隐教学。为了验证所提出的方法和学习系统的有效性,我们进行了一个涉及两组受试者的实验。虽然A组从母语人士的叙事解释中获得了关于拟声结构适当性的反馈,但B组只是像在传统课堂上一样审查了数据库材料。结果表明,我们的电子学习系统对获得拟声词的工作理解有显著影响。

Results indicate our e-learning system has a significant effect on the acquisition of a working understanding of onomatopoeia.","PeriodicalId":37040,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Practice of Second Language Acquisition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43047700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conceptual and Linguistic Transfer from L2 (Catalan) to L1 (Amazigh) within the Context of Migration 移民背景下从第二语言(加泰罗尼亚语)到第一语言(阿马齐格语)的概念和语言迁移

This paper focuses on the analysis of the lexical and semantic influences of L2 (Catalan) on the L1 (Amazigh) in a basic semantic field: parts of the body. Based on the observation that our participants show differences in their L1 usage related to the amount of time they have been in contact with Catalan, our goal is to analyze and describe these differences to see if they are the consequence of a transfer from the L2 conceptual system. This paper is a qualitative study with a sample size of 14 participants whose L1 is Amazigh and who live in Catalonia. The results show that there are cases of semantic and conceptual influence, although to a lesser degree than in other studies that do not analyze data from basic semantic fields. We will also show that there are extralinguistic factors that influence these transfers (the status of the languages involved and certain characteristics of the speakers).
本文着重分析了二语(加泰罗尼亚语)对一语(阿马齐格语)的词法和语义影响,其基本语义场为身体部位。根据我们的观察,我们的参与者表现出与他们接触加泰罗尼亚语的时间有关的母语使用差异,我们的目标是分析和描述这些差异,看看它们是否是从第二语言概念系统迁移的结果。本文是一项定性研究,样本量为14名母语为Amazigh,居住在加泰罗尼亚的参与者。结果表明,存在语义和概念影响的情况,尽管其程度低于其他不分析基本语义领域数据的研究。我们还将展示影响这些迁移的语言外因素(所涉及语言的地位和说话者的某些特征)。
