2022 Chapter 1. Introduction Understanding L2 Proficiency: Theoretical and meta-analytic investigations, Jeon, Eun Hee and Yo In'nami (eds.), pp. 1–4 | Chapter
2020 Proximate and ultimate explanations of individual differences in language use and language acquisition Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics 9:1/2, pp. 21–37 | Article
I evaluate three schools in linguistics (structuralism; generative linguistics; usage based linguistics) from the perspective of Karl Popper’s critical rationalism. Theories (providing proximate explanations) may be falsified at some point in time. In contrast, metatheories, such as Darwin’s… read more
2015 Explaining phenomena of first and second language acquisition with the constructs of implicit and explicit learning: The virtues and pitfalls of a two-system view Implicit and Explicit Learning of Languages, Rebuschat, Patrick (ed.), pp. 25–46 | Article
This chapter examines to what extent Krashen’s (1981) distinction between acquired (implicit) and learned (explicit) knowledge can be upheld from a usage-based view on first and second language learning and in the light of recent advancement in (neuro)cognitive research on artificial grammar… read more

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, Council of Europe, 2001) currently functions as an instrument for educational policy and practice. The view of language proficiency on which it is based and the six proficiency levels it defines lack empirical support from… read more
2014 The effects of age and level of education on the ability of adult native speakers of Dutch to segment speech into words Above and Beyond the Segments: Experimental linguistics and phonetics, Caspers, Johanneke, Yiya Chen, Willemijn Heeren, Jos Pacilly, Niels O. Schiller and Ellen van Zanten (eds.), pp. 152–164 | Article
This study tested Hulstijn’s (2011) hypothesis that adult native speakers share
the ability to process every-day speech, although older people do so more slowly
than younger people. In two segmentation tasks, segments of speech were
presented consisting of two to four highly common words. In the… read more
2012 Raadsels van tweedetaalverwerving Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics 1:1, pp. 150–159 | Article
This paper predicts that the study of second language acquisition, as a young discipline of scientific inquiry in its own right, faces a bright future, but only if its scholarly community critically re-examines some notions and assumptions that have too long been taken for granted. First, it is… read more

This study investigated how task complexity affected native and non-native speakers’ speaking performance in terms of a measure of communicative success (functional adequacy), three types of fluency (breakdown fluency, speed fluency, and repair fluency), and lexical diversity. Participants (208… read more
2011 Explanations of associations between L1 and L2 literacy skills Modeling Bilingualism: From Structure to Chaos, Schmid, Monika S. and Wander Lowie (eds.), pp. 85–112 | Article
This paper reviews the results of 13 empirical studies investigating associations between L1 and L2 reading or writing skills, that were published after the reviews of Alderson (1984) and Cummins (1991a).

The study of second language acquisition (SLA) forms a young academic discipline, emerging from fundamental paradigm shifts in SLA’s parent disciplines, linguistics and psychology. This paper gives a brief overview of how the study of SLA came into existence, formulates the fundamental questions… read more
1995 An Experimental Study on the Learning of Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Gender of Pseudo Dutch Nouns by Nonnative and Native Speakers of Dutch Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen 53, pp. 121–136 | Article
In this article we addres the question of whether, and to what exetent, noun gender attribution in languages such as French, German and Dutch can be formulated in terms of - semantic morphonological rules - competing semantic and morphonological cues - arbitrary idiosyncratic features In addressing… read more
1990 Individuele Verschillen in Het Leren Van Talen: Ontwikkelingen in Theorievorming en Onderzoek Leerderskenmerken: Individuele verschillen in het leren van talen., pp. 5–14 | Article
This contribution gives a global introduction into recent developments in theory and research on individual differences in language learning.

This research focused on the incidental learning of the meaning of new word forms occurring in a reading passage. In five experiments, a comparison was made of the retention effects of several ways to orient readers to the meaning of twelve new word forms ("targets"), occurring in a reading… read more

1979 Variabiliteit in Tussentaal Toegepaste aspekten van de taalpsychologie: 3 november 1979 te Nijmege, pp. 141–155 | Article
Starting-point for the two pilot studies reported here was the question whether systematicity in interlanguage is the same for different types of L2 behavior. We hypothesized that: 1. If L2 learners know the correct L2 rule they make more errors (deviations from that particular L2 rule) in an oral… read more
