2023 Chapter 4. Do task repetition and pretask focus on form instruction impact collaborative writing performance? Evidence from young learners L2 Collaborative Writing in Diverse Learning Contexts, Li, Mimi and Meixiu Zhang (eds.), pp. 80–108 | Chapter
This study examines the influence of task repetition (TR) and pretask focus on form instruction (FFI) on written collaborative production. Eighty-five low-proficiency EFL children carried out a dictogloss task twice: one targeting the 3rd person singular present “‑s”, and the other aiming at the… read more
2023 Does repeated pre-task planning have an impact on form-focused LREs? Evidence from EFL children Language Teaching for Young Learners 5:2, pp. 149–169 | Article
Pre-task planning has been shown to improve fluency and complexity in adult learners’ speech in monologic tasks. Previous work considered pre-task planning in interactive tasks with young children in an ESL setting and reported that, in general, it had an impact on the amount of talk. However,… read more
2021 Effects of proficiency and collaborative work on child EFL individual dictogloss writing Research on EFL learning by young children in Spain, García Mayo, María del Pilar (ed.), pp. 246–274 | Article
Collaborative writing has been traditionally studied in terms of language-related episodes (LREs), which have been shown to be influenced by learner proficiency. Yet, the impact of collaboration on the written product has received less attention, especially regarding child EFL learners. Our… read more

2020 Chapter 1. Child EFL grammar learning through a collaborative writing task Languaging in Language Learning and Teaching: A collection of empirical studies, Suzuki, Wataru and Neomy Storch (eds.), pp. 19–40 | Chapter
The present study analyzed the effects of completing a dictogloss task on the development of English grammar (3rd person singular -s and articles) in a foreign language primary school context. Fifty 11–12 year-old elementary EFL Spanish learners worked on a dictogloss task individually, and in… read more
2020 Child EFL learners’ attitudes towards a collaborative writing task: An exploratory study Language Teaching for Young Learners 2:1, pp. 52–72 | Article
The way learners engage with tasks can crucially impact on learning opportunities and, therefore, more attention is now being devoted to task affect. This study examines the attitudes of an underresearched population, child EFL learners, towards a collaborative dictogloss task. Thirty-two… read more
2020 Collaborative writing and feedback: An exploratory study of the potential of modelsin primary EFL students’ writing performance Language Teaching for Young Learners 2:1, pp. 73–100 | Article
Research on collaborative writing and models as a form of written corrective feedback has been conducted with adult participants but research with children is scarce despite the growth of early EFL learning in school settings in the past twenty years. The aim of the present exploratory study was… read more
2018 Chapter 8. Proficiency and transfer effects in the acquisition of gender agreement by L2 and L3 English learners Meaning and Structure in Second Language Acquisition: In honor of Roumyana Slabakova, Cho, Jacee, Michael Iverson, Tiffany Judy, Tania Leal and Elena Shimanskaya (eds.), pp. 203–227 | Chapter
The present study examines proficiency and transfer effects in the acquisition of gender agreement in third person singular possessives (his/her) by second (L2) and third language (L3) learners of English. Within current generative second language acquisition research, gender agreement has been… read more
2017 CLIL and SLA: Insights from an interactionist perspective Applied Linguistics Perspectives on CLIL, Llinares, Ana and Tom Morton (eds.), pp. 33–50 | Article
The Interaction Hypothesis is one of the explanations for second language acquisition (SLA) (Hatch 1978; Long 1983). Numerous studies have shown that interaction facilitates SLA because learners have the opportunity to negotiate language input, receive feedback and modify their output (Long 1996;… read more
2017 Chapter 7. Transfer effects in the acquisition of double object constructions in English as an L3 L3 Syntactic Transfer: Models, new developments and implications, Angelovska, Tanja and Angela Hahn (eds.), pp. 143–171 | Chapter
The present study examines the role of transfer in the processing of double object constructions (DOC) in English as a third language (L3). A group of Basque/Spanish bilinguals and a group of Spanish speakers divided into three proficiency levels completed a self-paced reading task. Findings did… read more
2017 Chapter 3. Testing the current models of third language acquisition L3 Syntactic Transfer: Models, new developments and implications, Angelovska, Tanja and Angela Hahn (eds.), pp. 63–84 | Chapter
In this chapter, we argue that another factor should be brought into the general picture of third and additional language acquisition: the comprehensible linguistic input. Predictions of current models have been predominantly based on the cognitive-psychological prominence of the three languages… read more
2016 9. EFL task-based interaction: Does task modality impact on language-related episodes? Peer Interaction and Second Language Learning: Pedagogical potential and research agenda, Sato, Masatoshi and Susan Ballinger (eds.), pp. 241–266 | Article
Research on L2 interaction has shown that task modality (written vs. oral) influences language learning opportunities. However, most research has been carried out in ESL settings and few studies have investigated task modality differences in EFL contexts, where both quantity and quality of exposure… read more
2013 2. Language-related episodes during collaborative tasks: A comparison of CLIL and EFL learners Second Language Interaction in Diverse Educational Contexts, McDonough, Kim and Alison Mackey (eds.), pp. 25–44 | Chapter
Recent research in different educational settings has provided support for the use of collaborative tasks in which learners consciously reflect on their own language (i.e., produce language-related episodes or LREs). However, little is known about whether learners in… read more
2013 Introduction Contemporary Approaches to Second Language Acquisition, García Mayo, María del Pilar, María Juncal Gutiérrez Mangado and María Martínez-Adrián (eds.), pp. 1–4 | Article
2013
This study investigates knowledge of the nominal agreement domain in L3 English by Basque/Spanish bilinguals.
