Cognitive correlates of vocabulary growth in English language learners (2011, background): “The only study that examined vocabulary growth in ELLs (Uchikoshi, 2006) modeled English vocabulary development of kindergarten children whose home language is Spanish from October to June.”
The construct of language proficiency in the study of bilingualism from a cognitive perspective* (2012, methodology): “Many studies using child participants administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) to assess productive vocabulary (Dressler, Carlo, Snow, August & White, 2011; Goetz, 2003; Nicoladis, 2006; Reyes & Hernández, 2006; Uchikoshi, 2006; Yan & Nicoladis, 2009).”
The relationship between bilingual exposure and vocabulary development (2011, background): “…in that they typically speak a minority-status language at home – in most studies, the home language is Spanish and the children then go on to attend school in English (Gathercole, 2007; Hammer et al., 2008; Oller et al., 2007; Patterson, 2002; Pearson, 2007; Ucelli & Páez, 2007; Uchikoshi, 2006).”
The Relation between Teacher Input and Lexical Growth of Preschoolers. (2011, background): “other school-related variables, such as the overall quality of the curriculum and classroom size (Gutierrez-Clellen & Kreiter, 2003; Oller & Eilers, 2002; Pianta, La Paro, Payne, Cox, & Bradley, 2002) as well as family-related variables, such as the frequency of book reading at home (e.g., De Houwer”
The Effects of Multimedia-Enhanced Instruction on the Vocabulary of English-Language Learners and Non-English-Language Learners in Pre-Kindergarten Through Second Grade (2009, background): “However, it is important to note that in previous research on the effects of multimedia, there was no effect on vocabulary when there was no additional instructional support (Linebarger, 2004; Uchikoshi, 2006).”
Parent–child reading in English as a second language: Effects on language and literacy development of Chinese kindergarteners (2009, background): “A few studies have examined the links between home literacy environment, including children’s exposure to books at home, and children’s second-language abilities, with mixed results (e.g. Hammer, Miccio & Wagstaff, 2003; Uchikoshi, 2006).”
Finding le mot juste: Differences between bilingual and monolingual children's lexical access in comprehension and production* (2009, background): “Some studies have shown that bilingual children score below the norm in both languages (e.g., Uchikoshi, 2006).”
Home and community factors influencing bilingual children’s ethnic language vocabulary development (2012, background): “Existing bilingual literature focuses heavily on children’s proficiency in the societal language, especially English (Dixon, 2011; Dever & Burts, 2002; Hammer, Miccio, & Wagstaff, 2003; Uchikoshi, 2006).”
