Despite the growing number of heritage language (HL) learners in courses, interaction between second (L2) and HL has not been fully explored research, thus, it still remains unclear whether mixed (L2-HL) or matched (L2-L2, HL-HL) dyads are more beneficial for learning. This study investigates three possible dyad types differ terms form-focused episodes (FFEs) that arose while worked together, a...

l2 learners’ multiple intelligences (mi) profile plays a central role in theirperformance on different aspects of language learning, one of which is the use oflanguage learning strategies (llss). gaining insights into the relationship betweenmi and llss makes l2 teachers better understand their learners’ strengths andweaknesses in the use of such strategies and lets them guide the learners bett...

In this note we review spectral properties of magnetic random Schrödinger operators Hω = H0 + Vω + Ul + Ur defined on L 2(R × [ −L2 , L2 ] , dxdy) with periodic boundary conditions along y. Ul and Ur are two confining potentials for x ≤ −L2 and x ≥ L2 respectively and vanish for −L2 ≤ x ≤ L2 . We describe the spectrum in two energy intervals and we classify it according to the quantum mechanica...

abstractsince heubner's (1985) pioneering study, there have been many studies on (mis) use/ non-use of articles by l2 learners from article-less and article languages the present study investigated how persian l2 learners of english produce and interpret english definite descriptions and demonstrative descriptions it was assumed that definite and demonstrative descriptions share the same centra...

Behavioral and neuroimaging studies have provided evidence that reading is strongly left lateralized, and the degree of this pattern of functional lateralization can be indicative of reading competence. However, it remains unclear whether functional lateralization differs between the first (L1) and second (L2) languages in bilingual L2 readers. This question is particularly important when the p...

Previous studies reported that negative stimuli induced less affect in bilinguals when stimuli were presented in bilinguals' second, weaker language (L2) than when they were presented in their native language (L1). This effect of L2 use was attributed to increased emotional distance as well as to increased levels of cognitive control during L2 use. Here we investigated how explicit (cognitive r...
