Shelley Staples; Anh Dang; Hui Wang – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2024
Learner corpora have been used extensively in corpus research to identify gaps and errors within learner writing but have rarely been directly used in corpus-informed instruction (CII). Importantly, scholars in CII have pointed out that "it is as important to see what learners can do as well as what they can't" when using learner corpora…

This study examined how L2 listeners' proficiency levels interacted with the two major process-based listening instruction methods of (1) strategy training and (2) interactive training (which involved training in strategies and bottom-up skills), to influence the listeners' development. In a mixed-methods design, the quantitative component of the…

Ardell, Lillian – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2022
To support emergent bilinguals in the content area classroom, applied linguists suggest teachers add metalinguistic conversations to their pedagogical repertoire. However, such language-centered pedagogies may become difficult to enact when a teacher sees language at the word level. This comparative teacher case study explores how teacher…

In addition to self-reported motivational variables, the study examined the intervention's impact on L2 production during teacher-student interactions. Two intact university-level classes were assigned to the experimental (n = 26) and control (n = 24)…

Morita-Mullaney, Trish; Renn, Jennifer; Chiu, Ming Ming – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2020
Dual language bilingual education (DLBE) is a unique form of bilingual education that has the potential to preserve and develop the heritage languages of emergent bilinguals, foster high levels of bilingualism, and address academic disparities, thereby changing emergent bilinguals' educational conditions and learning outcomes.

The critical importance of second language (L2) input, output, and interaction in TESOL notwithstanding, the decision between immersive (L2-English only) versus nonimmersive approaches is considered "the most fundamental question facing second language acquisition (SLA) researchers, language teachers, and policymakers" (Macaro, 2014, p.…
