Difficulty and Complexity of Language Features and Second Language Instruction Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The question whether some second language (L2) features (forms, items,
structures, patterns, rules) and, if so, which types of features, are more affected
by instruction or are more effectively instructed than others has received
increasing attention in applied linguistics and SLA research since the mid-1990s
(VanPatten, 1994; Spada, 1997). For SLA researchers, knowing how the nature
of the input stimulus interacts with ...

How useful are native language tests for research with advanced second language users? Universiteit Gent
We investigated the extent to which language tests developed for native speakers (L1) can be used with advanced speakers of a second language (L2). We compared the performance of Dutch-English bilinguals with that of native English speakers on a series of English language tests, looking at vocabulary knowledge, crystallized intelligence, reading comprehension, and reading speed. It was found that advanced L2 speakers know fewer L2 words than ...
Complexity and difficulty of language features and second language instruction. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This chapter discusses how the effects, and effectiveness of various types of language instruction and teaching are mediated by the various forms of complexity and difficulty of the linguistic structures targeted by the instruction and teaching.
ERP Response Unveils Effect of Second Language Manipulation on First Language Processing KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Lexical access in bilinguals has been considered either selective or non-selective and evidence exists in favor of both hypotheses. We conducted a linguistic experiment to assess whether a bilingual's language mode influences the processing of first language information. We recorded event related potentials during a semantic priming paradigm with a covert manipulation of the second language (L2) using two types of stimulus presentations (short ...
