Participants recounted their experiences with ableism in English education through interviews. Analyzing interviews resulted in the emergence of three key themes: a) lack of awareness of (dis)ability and ableism throughout their English education, b) the prevalence of overt and covert ableism viewing deafness as a marker of “otherness,” and c) the need for advocacy and more inclusive practices and environments for DHH learners acquiring L3.

Research has begun to explore how state reclassification policies, specifically the criteria needed to be considered FEP, may contribute to reclassification disparities. Given the complexities of measuring and understanding English language proficiency (ELP) growth for ELs with disabilities, there have been calls for states to incorporate teacher or team input as a criterion for reclassification. Research, however, has yet to examine how teachers make sense of ELP data for ELs with disabilities and ultimately make reclassification recommendations. This qualitative case study fills this gap, investigating the data interpretation and decision-making of teachers in one urban school district. It documents how teachers’ beliefs about standardized ELP assessment data coupled with a scarcity of resources and training contributed to reclassification decision-making driven not by data but by teachers’ values and instincts.","PeriodicalId":22008,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Second Language Acquisition","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144640051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One goal of such investigations is to reveal the interplay between learning conditions, processes, and outcomes where, for example, certain conditions can promote attention to the learning targets, which in turn facilitates learning. However, the statistical modeling approach taken often does not align with the conceptualization of the complex relationships between these variables. Thus, in this paper, we introduce mediation analysis to SLA research. We offer a step-by-step, contextualized tutorial on the practical application of mediation analysis in three different research scenarios, each addressing a different research design using either simulated or open-source datasets. Our overall goal is to promote the use of statistical techniques that are consistent with the theorization of language learning processes as mediators.","PeriodicalId":22008,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Second Language Acquisition","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-36"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144594461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, Frequentist methods often rely on corrections (e.g., Bonferroni or Tukey), which can reduce statistical power and inflate uncertainty by mechanically widening confidence intervals. This paper demonstrates how Bayesian hierarchical models provide a robust framework for parameter estimation in the context of multiple comparisons. By leveraging entire posterior distributions, these models produce estimates for all pairwise comparisons without requiring post hoc adjustments. The hierarchical structure, combined with the use of priors, naturally incorporates shrinkage, pulling extreme estimates toward the overall mean. This regularization improves the stability and reliability of estimates, particularly in the presence of sparse or noisy data, and leads to more conservative comparisons. Bayesian models also offer a flexible framework for addressing heteroscedasticity by directly modeling variance structures and incorporating them into the posterior distribution. The result is a coherent approach to exploring differences between levels of <jats:italic>F</jats:italic>, where parameter estimates reflect the full uncertainty of the data.","PeriodicalId":22008,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Second Language Acquisition","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilizing a state-of-the-art generative AI model (Llama 3.3) for error detection, Auto Error Analyzer analyzes L2 texts efficiently and cost-effectively, producing accuracy metrics (e.g., errors per 100 words).

Developed under open science principles to ensure transparency and replicability, the tool aims to support researchers and educators while emphasizing the complementary role of human expertise in language assessment.
