Our goal is to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire-20 Items (G20) to the English language by using data collected through a crowdsourcing platform. The G20 is a c…

The present study examines non-native (L2) and native (L1) listeners' access to figurative idiomatic meaning and literal constituent meaning in two cross-modal priming experiments. Proficient German learners of English (L2) and native speakers of American English (L1) responded to English target words preceded by Engli…

The article by Cheri Wilson, "Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality: The Case for Language Access", highlights the challenges of providing Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) to patients with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). As the US pursues high-value, high-performance healthcare, our ability…

This study investigated the role of morphological awareness weaknesses in the reading difficulties encountered by Spanish-speaking language minority learners and their native English-speaking peers in sixth grade. One hundred and thirty-eight students (82 language minority learners; 56 native English speakers) were ass…

INTRODUCTION: As the academic landscape of the 21st century has become increasingly competitive, emotion-related processes have attracted growing attention as potential influences on learners' engagement in foreign language study.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings has sparked debates about the potential replacement of human teachers. While AI tools can provide personalized instruction and immediate feedback, the emotional support dimension of teaching may represent a domain where human teachers maintain a di…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the efficiency of dialogic reading strategies (DRS) provided bilingually (Spanish and English) and solely in English on the acquisition of vocabulary by young school-aged dual-language learners (DLLs) with developmental language disorders (DLD). METHOD: Five pa…

Phonological awareness (PA) is of great significance to children's early language learning and cognitive development. However, there has been a clear lack of research on the role of PA in developing children's perception of connected speech in foreign languages. Thus, this study focused on the cross-linguistic associat…

INTRODUCTION: Patients with diabetes require healthcare and information that are accurate and extensive. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT herald the capacity to provide such exhaustive data. To determine (a) the comprehensiveness of ChatGPT's responses in Urdu to diabetes-related questions and (b) the accuracy…

Though bilinguals know many more words than monolinguals, within each language bilinguals exhibit some processing disadvantages, extending to sublexical processes specifying the sound structure of words (Gollan & Goldrick, Cognition, 125(3), 491-497, 2012). This study investigated the source of this bilingual disadvant…

To better characterize the relation of acculturation, based on language use, to smoking status among Mexican-Americans, a large study sample from an ongoing cohort of Mexican-American households in Texas was stratified into current smokers and non-smokers. Four language-use groups were created based on Low/High use of…

Languages function as independent and distinct conventional systems, and so each language uses different words to label the same objects. This study investigated whether 2-year-old children recognize that speakers of their native language and speakers of a foreign language do not share the same knowledge. Two groups of…

Qualitative descriptions of the consonant inventories of 12 children who have used cochlear implants for at least 5 years are provided, together with description of sound correspondences between children's systems and the ambient language (English). Productions of English words were elicited in a picture-naming task, a…

To examine the relation between the cortical substrates that support the comprehension of one's native language and those that support a second language, fMRI measures of cortical activation were taken as native Japanese participants, who had acquired moderate fluency in English, listened to auditory sentences in Japan…

BACKGROUND: In computer-mediated English-language text on health topics, spelling errors and unorthodox emphasis (e.g. 'shouting' capitalisation) implicitly result in linear and additive penalties to trustworthiness. AIMS: (1) To quantify the effects of misspelling, unorthodox emphasis (boldface text), and their combi…

How do subtitles shape where learners look, and what they learn, in bilingual instructional video? Subtitles are increasingly central to instructional video in multilingual education, where learners must integrate spoken input with written text. In the present paper, we recorded eye movements while university students…

Words' morphemic structure and their orthographic representations vary across languages. How do bilingual experiences with structurally distinct languages influence children's morphological processes for word reading? Focusing on English literacy in monolinguals and bilinguals (= 350, ages 5-9), we first revealed uniqu…
