Fifty-three ESL advanced-mid students wrote essays on pandemic (esp. COVID-19) and non-pandemic prompts. A textual Sentiment Analysis was carried out to detect both positive and negative emotions expressed in the students’ writing. A set of six lexical complexity indices was calculated to examine further the rarity, fluency, sophistication, and diversity levels in writing. The results revealed that the prompt types affect the emotional and lexical complexity of L2 writing. These results also showed that emotionality and lexical complexity have intricate and significant interactions, providing evidence for an emotion-lexicon link in L2 writing. Our results indicated that emotion has a substantial role in L2 writing beyond the traditional cognition-centered perspective, echoing the call of an ‘affective turn’ in second language acquisition (SLA) research.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43810535","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}

Rather than a\u0000 psycholinguistic guessing game (Goodman, 1967), reading is dependent on rapid, accurate\u0000 recognition of written forms. In fluent first language (L1) readers, this is seen in the automatic activation of a word’s\u0000 phonological form, impacting lexical processing (Perfetti & Bell, 1991; Rayner, Sereno, Lesch & Pollatsek, 1995). Although the influence of phonological form\u0000 is well established, less clear is the extent to which readers are sensitive to the possible pronunciations of a\u0000 word (Lesch & Pollatsek, 1998), derived from the varying consistency of\u0000 grapheme-to-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) (e.g., although ‘great’ has only one pronunciation, [ɡɹeɪt], the grapheme \u0000 within it has multiple possible pronunciations: [i] in [plit] ‘pleat’, [ɛ] in [bɹɛθ] ‘breath’; Parkin, 1982). Further, little is known about non-native readers’ sensitivity to such characteristics. Non-native\u0000 readers process text differently from L1 readers (Koda & Zehler, 2008; McBride-Chang, Bialystok, Chong & Li, 2004), with implications for understanding L2\u0000 reading comprehension (Rayner, Chace, Slattery & Ashby, 2006). The goal of this\u0000 study was thus to determine whether native and non-native readers are sensitive to the consistency of a word’s component GPCs\u0000 during lexical processing and to compare this sensitivity among readers from different L1s.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45074372","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}

Data from 10 adult English learners of Mandarin were compared pre/post 10 months’ SA in China. Performance was measured in 4 tasks with different task loads (rehearsed vs. spontaneous speech, in monologic and dialogic mode). Significant differences between the rehearsed monologue and other tasks found pre-SA were generally not found after SA. Some differences remained between monologues and dialogues, suggesting that task load effects may override SA impact. Claims about the impact of SA on L2 oral development should take more account of different task demands, to help further illuminate our understanding of how SA may benefit L2 fluency.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42633514","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}

One\u0000 issue that may be crucial for the effectiveness of explicit instruction is the interaction between cognitive individual\u0000 differences (language aptitude and working memory) and types of instruction. In this experiment, 128 learners of Spanish were\u0000 randomly assigned to four experimental treatments and completed comprehension-based practice for interpreting object-verb and\u0000 ser/estar sentences in Spanish. Results revealed that the various combinations of rules and practice posed differential task\u0000 demands on the learners and consequently drew on language aptitude and working memory to a different extent. We argue that not\u0000 only are rules and practice both necessary, but that their suitable integration ameliorates task demands, reducing the burden on\u0000 the learner, and accordingly mitigates the role of participants’ individual differences, thus making a substantial difference for\u0000 the learning of second language grammar.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41798202","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}
