PURPOSE: To investigate workflow, or the clinical and administrative tasks that need to be completed, during telerehabilitation visits and to identify factors that support or hinder telerehabilitation services for patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). MATERIALS AND METHOD: An exploratory investigationa qual…

Reading and writing English have greater significance in learning oral English and comprehensive skills. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is important in many aspects of our lives, including education, healthcare, business, and so on. AI has allowed for significant advancements in the educational system. It has quickly ris…

This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of Graded Chronic Pain Scale 2.0 (GCPS 2.0) and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JFLS-20) of the Malaysian English version of Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (M-English DC/TMD). GCPS 2.0 and JFLS-20 underwent psychometric analysis involving…

Previous studies in our laboratory showed that English-native listeners had greater masking release from the temporal variation in noise than Chinese-native listeners in speech perception tasks. The goal of this study was to examine whether the advantage of temporal dip listening for English-native listeners was also p…

One of the most crucial components of a student's language proficiency is basic language proficiency, which is also its fundamental component. The development of students' language skills is greatly aided by ELL (English Language and Literature). It can not only foster the growth of students' language thinking but also…

Traditional methods only consider topic information in English vocabulary information extraction, lose the statistical feature information of the keywords themselves, and easily ignore the semantic information of the words. In order to improve the extraction efficiency of English keyword information, based on the CAD m…

In the process of continuous reform and development of education and teaching, some traditional teaching modes are gradually eliminated, whereas new teaching modes are gradually recognized by teachers and students. These modes are widely used in education and teaching due to their overwhelming characteristics. Among th…

This study investigates the effect of a network of general trust on the willingness to communicate in English among Japanese people. Previous studies have shown that general trust positively affects the willingness to communicate in English for Japanese people. However, the network structure of general trust and its ef…

Recently, considerable attention has been given to the effect of the age of acquisition (AoA) on learning a second language (L2); however, the scarcity of L2 AoA ratings has limited advancements in this field. We presented the ratings of L2 AoA in late, unbalanced Chinese-English bilingual speakers and collected the fa…

Word associations have been used widely in psychology, but the validity of their application strongly depends on the number of cues included in the study and the extent to which they probe all associations known by an individual. In this work, we address both issues by introducing a new English word association dataset…

The present study investigates the patterns of word associations among Arab EFL learners and compares these patterns with those of native speakers of English. The study also examines the influence of increased language exposure and word characteristics on the learners' association patterns. To this end, 45 native speak…

PURPOSE: This study compares goodness and accentedness ratings of speech tokens rated by listeners who are naive to and aware of speakers' native language backgrounds. Listener responses to open-ended questions regarding goodness and accentedness ratings are also examined. METHOD: Twenty-eight monolingual speakers of…

Salience influences grammatical structure during production in a language-dependent manner because different languages afford different options to satisfy preferences. During production, speakers may always try to satisfy all syntactic encoding preferences (e.g., salient entities to be mentioned early, themes to be ass…

Contemporary New Zealand English has distinctive pronunciations of three characteristic vowels. Did the evolution of these distinctive pronunciations occur in all words at the same time or were different words affected differently? We analyze the changing pronunciation of New Zealand English in a large set of recording…

Language non-selective lexical access in bilinguals has been established mainly using tasks requiring explicit language processing. Here, we show that bilinguals activate native language translations even when words presented in their second language are incidentally processed in a nonverbal, visual search task. Chines…

Recent streams of research support the Whorfian hypothesis according to which language affects one's perception of the world. However, studies of object categorization in different languages have heavily relied on behavioral measures that are fuzzy and inconsistent. Here, we provide the first electrophysiological evide…

Studies on cross-linguistic syntactic priming suggest that bilinguals can share syntactic representations across languages (e.g., Hartsuiker, Pickering, & Veltkamp, 2004). But how are these representations established in late learners of a second language? Specifically, are representations of syntactic structures in a…

English listeners categorize more of a [k-t] continuum as "t" after [character: see text] than [s] (Mann & Repp, 1981). This bias could be due to compensation for coarticulation (Mann & Repp, 1981) or auditory contrast between the fricatives and the stops (Lotto & Kluender, 1998). In Japanese, surface [[character: see…
