Biases in Self‐Ratings of Second Language Proficiency: The Role of Language Anxiety
Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 265-287 - 1997
Peter D. MacIntyre, Kimberly A. Noels, Richard Clément
Previous studies have shown a strong link between participants' apprehension about communicating and their perception of communicative competence in both native (L1) and second (L2) languages. This apprehension may intensify when participants communicate in the L2, especially if they believe their level of L2 competence to be very low. This study examines perceived competence in an L2 as a...... hiện toàn bộ

Size and Depth of Vocabulary Knowledge: What the Research Shows
Tập 64 Số 4 - Trang 913-951 - 2014
Norbert Schmitt
When discussing vocabulary, a distinction is often made between size of vocabulary (number of known words) and depth of knowledge (how well those words are known). However, the relationship between the two constructs is still unclear. Some scholars argue that there is little real difference between the two, while regression analyses show that depth typically adds unique explanatory power c...... hiện toàn bộ
L2 Reading Comprehension and Its Correlates: A Meta‐Analysis

The present meta‐analysis examined the overall average correlation (weighted for sample size and corrected for measurement error) between passage‐level second language (L2) reading comprehension and 10 key reading component variables investigated in the research domain. Four high‐evidence correlates (with 18 or more accumulated effect sizes: L2 decoding, L2 vocabulary knowledge, L2 grammar...... hiện toàn bộ

The Effects of Simplified and Elaborated Texts on Foreign Language Reading Comprehension
Tập 44 Số 2 - Trang 189-219 - 1994
Yasukata Yano, Michael H. Long, Steven J. Ross
Linguistic simplification of written texts can increase their comprehensibility for nonnative speakers but reduce their utility for language learning in other ways, for example, through the removal of linguistic items that learners do not know but need to learn. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that elaborative modification observed in oral foreigner talk discourse, where re...... hiện toàn bộ
