The impact of CLIL on the L2 French and L1 Dutch proficiency of Flemish secondary school pupils Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Since its official introduction in 2014, an increasing number of Flemish secondary schools provide a CLIL program next to their regular monolingual Dutch programs. This longitudinal study investigates the effect of teaching one or several content subjects in French on secondary school pupils’ L2 French listening comprehension (n = 545) and speaking proficiency (n = 273) as well as on their L1 Dutch reading comprehension (n = 579). To ensure ...
Academic language proficiency as a predictor of academic achievement. A validity argument of a low-stakes post-entry academic reading and vocabulary screening test for first-year university students. KU Leuven
The transition from secondary to tertiary education is often conceived as difficult, into a new culture with specific rules, conventions and language use (van Kalsbeek & Kuiken, 2014; Wingate, 2015).

Success rates of first-year students are low, at the KU Leuven in 2019-2020 for ...
Morphological complexity and rated writing proficiency. The case of verbal inflectional diversity in L2 Spanish KU Leuven
Linguistic complexity measures are used to describe second language (L2) performance and assess levels of proficiency and development. Although morphology is considered crucial in L2 acquisition, morphological complexity has been relatively neglected, hindering comprehensive views of grammatical complexity in L2. This article presents an application of a recently proposed metric of morphological diversity, the Morphological Complexity Index ...

International implementation of a PROficiency based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training (PROSPECT) in daily practice Ghent University
International implementation of a PROficiency based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training (PROSPECT) in daily practice Ghent University
Objective: A randomised controlled trial (RCT) showed superior real life endovascular performance of trainees after PROficiency based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training (PROSPECT) compared with traditional training. This study aimed to determine whether PROSPECT can be implemented routinely in surgical training (registry) and to identify the associated effects, facilitators, and barriers to implementation. Methods: This was a multicentre ...
