This study tested the effects of hand-clapping to the rhythm of newly learned French words on the pronunciation of these words by 7- to 8-year-old Catalan children. In a short training experiment with a pre- and posttest design, 28 children either repeated cognate words in French (e.g. French "aspirateur," Catalan "aspirador"…

Although chatbots like BlenderBot-3 work well in a conversational sense, and GPT-3 can assist experts in evaluating questions, they are quantifiably worse than real teachers in several pedagogical dimensions. We present the…

In this essay, I challenge unreflective linguistic indexation of Latino academia; specifically, the suppression of the inflexion "o" in generic nouns (as in Latinx) and appropriation of Nahuatl nouns.

Often tears, "coraje" (both courage and rage) and laughter accompany this process--a transformative…
