Learners’ self-determined exposure and in-app behavior were examined in relation to\u0000 language gains over time. Duolingo learners of Spanish or French (N = 287) completed a background questionnaire,\u0000 scales measuring L2 motivation and grit, and two tests of L2 proficiency before and after a six-month period of user-controlled\u0000 app usage. Total minutes of app exposure exhibited a correlation with written but not oral proficiency gains. More dependable\u0000 correlates of gains were frequency- and curriculum-oriented measures. Additionally, L2 grit and motivation were weakly to\u0000 moderately correlated with several in-app behaviors. We conclude with implications for how apps can best be leveraged to produce\u0000 L2 gains.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43957573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the results, two text-based written-guise studies were conducted investigating the\u0000 level of detriment that grammatical and lexical/typographical errors created on English-language ability ratings for different\u0000 author guises (Swedish, Chinese, English) in formal (Study 2) and informal contexts (Study 3). In both contexts, grammatical\u0000 errors produced by the guise representing the lower-ability non-L1 group were overlooked, while the same errors produced by the\u0000 other guises significantly lowered the ability ratings. Our results coincide with the idea of the ‘sympathetic native speaker’ and\u0000 expand it, suggesting that expected language level based on linguistic group membership inversely affects the level of\u0000 sympathy/tolerance demonstrated.

Participants were 155 Japanese learners of English, who were divided into recast, explicit correction, metalinguistic prompt, and task-only groups. The treatment groups completed tasks that required past progressive usage and received feedback. The executive component of working memory and language analytical ability were measured by the reading span test and LLAMA F. The outcome measures were an untimed grammaticality judgment test (UGJT) and elicited imitation test (EIT), which measured the participants’ declarative and procedural knowledge, respectively. The participants performed the pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest. Multiple regression analyses showed that the executive component of working memory was significantly associated with the gain scores of the UGJT for the recast group and with the gain scores of the EIT for the metalinguistic prompt group. Language analytical ability was not associated with gain scores regardless of the test type for all groups.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49079621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 118 valid L2 Chinese learners finished two developed tests in\u0000 this study, namely, the Chinese speech competence test and the Chinese speech performance test. The results suggested that L2\u0000 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance, as a twofold rendering of their L2 speech production ability, not only\u0000 showed a significant positive correlation with a large effect size (Pearson’s r = .598) but also significantly\u0000 predicted each other with a large effect size (Cohen f2\u0000  = .555). However, such large effect sizes of\u0000 the correlation and the prediction between speech competence and speech performance were not supported among the\u0000 upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners. This suggested that the development between speech competence and speech performance may\u0000 be more unbalanced among the upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners compared with their advanced counterparts. The study adds\u0000 evidence to the call for a multidimensional evaluation of L2 speech production ability. It is hoped that the dual approach (i.e.,\u0000 speech competence and speech performance) proposed in the present study may contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of\u0000 learners’ L2 Chinese speech production ability. Consequently, classroom-based teaching can be tailored to facilitate a more\u0000 balanced development of L2 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44881051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
