DECONSTRUCTING COMPREHENSIBILITY (2012, background): “Learners confi ned to the lowest comprehensibility level may not be able to retrieve lexical items effi ciently, which could impede their ability to produce fl uent stretches of speech and to convey a story in a short timeframe (Segalowitz, 2010 ).”
THE EFFECTS OF INPUT ENHANCEMENT ON GRAMMAR LEARNING AND COMPREHENSION (2013, background): “However, this last hypothesis—that there would be a trade-off effect—runs counter to many current learning theories that suggest that increased cognitive effort is effective for both comprehension and restructuring (DeKeyser & Juffs, 2005 ; Ellis, 2006 ; Segalowitz, 2010 ).”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “When L2 proficiency is low, L2 language production is more controlled and less automatic (see also Favreau & Segalowitz, 1983; Segalowitz, 2010; Segalowitz & Hulstijn, 2005), thus requiring inhibitory control (prefrontal function, in particular; see also Petrides, 1998).”
What makes speech sound fluent? The contributions of pauses, speed and repairs (2013, background): “…fluency – ‘the features of utterances that reflect the speaker’s cognitive fluency’ which can be acoustically measured; and perceived fluency – ‘the inferences listeners make about speakers’ cognitive fluency based on their perceptions of their utterance fluency’ (Segalowitz, 2010, p.165).”
Native speakers’ perceptions of fluency and accent in L2 speech (2014, background): “Segalowitz (2010) proposed calculating the residuals obtained when correlating L1 and L2 fluency measures with each other.”
Pleasure reading and reading rate gains (2014, background): “Increased processing rate is a central characteristic of fluency development and an important aspect of theories of fluency and automatization2 in cognitive psychology (e.g., Anderson & Lebiere, 1998; Logan, 1997) and in second language acquisition (e.g., DeKeyser, 2007; Segalowitz, 2010).”
LINGUISTIC DIMENSIONS OF COMPREHENSIBILITY AND PERCEIVED FLUENCY: AN INVESTIGATION OF COMPLEXITY, ACCURACY, AND FLUENCY IN SECOND LANGUAGE ARGUMENTATIVE SPEECH (2019, background): “Accuracy From the perspective of speech processing, lexical, morphological and syntactic encoding processes are interrelated, but are relatively independently executed (Kormos, 2006; Segalowitz, 2010).”
The Effectiveness of Drama as an Instructional Approach for the Development of Second Language Oral Fluency, Comprehensibility, and Accentedness (2017, background): “Segalowitz (2010) argues that underlying all such operationalizations of L2 fluency is a cognitive skill, the development of which requires restructuring of linguistic knowledge such that it becomes more readily accessible.”
Essentials of a Theory of Language Cognition (2019, background): “Frequency of experience is central in usage-based approaches to language acquisition (N. Ellis, 2011; N. Ellis & Wulff, 2015b) as it is in skilltheoretic approaches (DeKeyser, 2007; Segalowitz, 2010).”
Does a Speaking Task Affect Second Language Comprehensibility (2015, background): “…to elicit speech from L2 speakers (e.g., Trofimovich & Isaacs, 2012) despite evidence that linguistic resources needed for speakers to successfully complete a task depend on several variables, including task formality and complexity (Kormos, 2006; Robinson, 2005; Segalowitz, 2010; Skehan, 2009).”
PEER INTERACTION AND CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK FOR ACCURACY AND FLUENCY DEVELOPMENT (2012, background): “First, SR has been found to be strongly related to perceived fl uency (e.g., Cucchiarini et al., 2002 ), and, second, it can be a measurable performance phenomenon considered to manifest underlying cognitive processing (Segalowitz, 2010 ).”
Second language fluency: speaking style or proficiency? Correcting measures of second language fluency for first language behavior (2015, methodology): “Segalowitz (2010) proposes that to measure aspects of L2-speciﬁc ﬂuency, one should gather both L1 data and L2 data to take speakers’ L1 ﬂuency into account.”
