We develop and test a conceptual model of English language acquisition and the strength of the latter in predicting social and cultural assimilation. We present evidence that the path to English proficiency begins with exposure to English in the home country and on prior U.S. trips. English proficiency, then, has direc…

Courses in medical editing and medical English are relatively new and infrequent. We have now provided seven of them for Finnish doctors who wished to publish their work in English, to present papers in English to conferences, to work in English-speaking countries-or who wanted to improve their knowledge of the languag…

Little research has been done about patient educational materials (PEMs) written in Arabic. Readability of Arabic PEMs has not previously been assessed because, until recently, there was no validated Arabic readability assessment tool. A total of 207 PEMs in both Arabic and English were collected from the Medline Plus…

Background Typically, disease-related information is available in English on the internet, and the bulk of medical research journals are likewise published in English. Therefore, in non-English-speaking countries, many people find it challenging to put that knowledge into practice. This study compared Arabic-speaking s…

Psycholinguistic studies have shown that there are many variables implicated in language comprehension and production. At the lexical level, subjective age of acquisition (AoA), the estimate of the age at which a word is acquired, is key for stimuli selection in psycholinguistic studies. AoA databases in English are of…

For pupils without DLD, it is well-established that amount of informal exposure to English outside of the classroom, starting age of EFL instru…
