Researchers have looked into the role of individual differences in second language learning and found that differences between learners in areas such as language aptitude, language learning motivation and exposure to the language influence second language learning. Most of this research concerned adults. Far fewer studies have addressed the role of individual differences in second language learning of young learners. As second language learning programmes tend to start earlier than before and children are nowadays frequently exposed to a foreign language in social settings such as online games and social media, studying the role of individual differences in young learners can contribute both to SLA-theories and to evidence-based L2 education. This book discusses recent findings concerning the role of individual differences in language learning in young learners. The chapters in the book concern different topics linked to internal individual differences such as language aptitude, motivation, attitude and external individual differences such as exposure and type of instruction, the relative contribution of internal and external factors to language learning, and the interplay between the two types of individual differences.

This book explores the motivations of adult second language (L2) learners to learn Italian in continuing education settings in Australia. It focuses on their motivational drives, learning trajectories and related dynamics of identity development triggered by the learning process. Central to the study are adult L2 learners, who are still a largely under-researched and growing group of learners, and readers will gain a better understanding of the learning process of this specific group of learners and ideas for sustaining L2 adult learning motivation in continuing education settings. Furthermore, the book discusses the role played by the Italian migrant community in Australia in making Italian a sought-after language to learn. It explores how a migrant community may influence motivation, and highlights and expands on the notion of L2 learning contexts, showing the existence of sociocultural environments where second language learning trajectories are affected by the presence of migrant groups.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the processing of compound words in English and Turkish with monolingual and sequential bilingual adults with intermediate and advanced level proficiency. The present study includes two different but parallel experiments on compound word recognition, one in English and one in Turkish. By using a masked priming experiment, the processing of English and Turkish compounds by monolingual and sequential bilinguals is examined. The stimuli involve transparent-transparent compounds (e.g., headache; kuzeydoğu ‘northeast’, kuzey ‘north’, doğu ‘east’), partially-opaque compounds (e.g., grapefruit; büyükelçi ‘ambassador’, büyük ‘big’, elçi ‘delegate’), pseudocompounds (e.g., mandate; fesleğen ‘basil’, fes ‘fez’, leğen ‘bowl/pelvis’), and monomorphemic words (e.g., crocodile; kaplumbağa ‘turtle’). The results of the English study demonstrate that English monolinguals decomposed compound words. When semantic transparency of the compound is examined, the findings suggest that both constituents are activated in transparent-transparent compounds whereas only the second constituent is accessed in partially-opaque compounds, indicating the influence of semantic transparency on compound processing. No priming is observed for intermediate level sequential bilinguals, suggesting that they do not employ decomposition. Advanced level sequential bilinguals also employ decomposition for compounds, but semantic transparency plays a crucial role because constituent 1 is accessed in transparent-transparent compounds, yet no priming effect is obtained for partially-opaque compounds, implying dual-route access for English compounds. The Turkish study shows that monolingual Turkish participants recognize compound words on the basis of their constituents (i.e. via decomposition); however, the effect of semantic transparency is also observed in the group. Transparent-transparent compounds are accessed by recognizing the second constituent (i.e. the head of the compound) while both constituents are activated for partially-opaque compounds. In contrast, neither the advanced nor the intermediate-level sequential bilingual groups show native-like processing revealing whole-word access. Key Words: L1 morphological processing, L2 morphological processing, English and Turkish compounds, masked priming, psycholinguistics

Language skills foster, among other things, social inclusion, access to education and employment. Within this context, non-literate or low-literate migrants have specific educational needs. This reference guide is meant for language educators, curriculum designers and language policy makers in their endeavour to design, implement, evaluate and improve curricula tailored toward the specific needs of non- and low-literate adult migrants. This group of migrants faces the complex and demanding task of learning a language while either learning to read and write for the first time or developing their literacy skills. They rarely receive adequate instruction in terms of hours of tuition and targeted teaching approaches, whereas they are very often requested to take a compulsory written test. The reference guide contains: a definition of target users and learners; the rationale related to the development of the descriptors; principles for teaching literacy and second languages; scales and tables of descriptors; aspects of curriculum design at the macro, meso and micro levels and recommendations on assessment procedures and tools within the learning environment. The guide also contains descriptors that build on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the CEFR Companion volume up to the A1 level for adult migrants, with special attention given to literacy learners.

This book is a systematic attempt to address the issue of fossilization in relation to a fundamental question in second language acquisition research, which is: why are learners, adults in particular, unable to develop the level of competence they have aspired to in spite of continuous and sustained exposure to the target language, adequate motivation to learn, and sufficient opportunity to practice?

How do people learn nonnative languages? Is there one part or function of our brains solely dedicated to language processing, or do we apply our general information-processing abilities when learning a new language? In this book, an interdisciplinary collaboration of scholars and researchers presents an overview of the latter approach to adult second language acquisition and brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the latest research on this subject. Clearly organized into four distinct but integrated parts, Mind and Context in Adult Second Language Acquisition first provides an introduction to information-processing approaches and the tools for students to understand the data. The next sections explain factors that affect language learning, both internal (attention and awareness, individual differences, and the neural bases of language acquisition) and external (input, interaction, and pedagogical interventions). It concludes by looking at two pedagogical applications: processing instruction and content based instruction. This important and timely volume is a must-read for students of language learning, second language acquisition, and linguists who want to better understand the information-processing approaches to learning a non-primary language. This book will also be of immense interest to language scholars, program directors, teachers, and administrators in both second language acquisition and cognitive psychology.

This Open Access volume brings together contributions to the research on coherence in teacher education from a transnational perspective. Using theoretical-conceptional, empirical as well as instructional approaches, the contributions explore structural, curricular, conceptual and personnel dimensions of coherence. Within the EU Erasmus +-funded project ConnEcTEd (Coherence in European Teacher Education), an interdisciplinary and transnational consortium collaborated in the research and co-constructive development of coherent teaching and learning arrangements. The transnational team assessed links between different areas of professional knowledges as well as theory-practice approaches. The volume concludes with a final discussion by Esther T. Canrinus, one of the leading researchers on coherence in teacher education.

The science and practice of memory come to life with Bennett Schwartz' Memory, Second Edition. Integrated coverage of cognitive psychology and neuroscience throughout the text connect theory and research to the areas in the brain where memory processes occur, while unique applications of memory concepts to such areas as education, investigations, and courtrooms engage students in an exploration of how memory works in everyday life. Four themes create a framework for the text: the active nature of learning and remembering; memory's status as a biological process; the multiple components of memory systems; and how memory principles can improve our individual ability to learn and remember. Substantive changes in each chapter and 156 new references bring this new edition completely up to date and offer students an array of high-interest examples for augmenting their own memory abilities and appreciation of memory science.
