Citations in the corpus
- THE ROLES OF PHONOLOGICAL SHORT-TERM MEMORY AND WORKING MEMORY IN L2 GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY LEARNING (2012, background): “Leeser (2007) found that participants with higher WM capacities were better able to comprehend passages in a foreign language (although only when the participants were familiar with the passage topic).”
- Working Memory and the Observed Effectiveness of Recasts on Different L2 Outcome Measures. (2012, background): “In particular, there is considerable evidence suggesting that complex working memory capacity is involved in L2 morphosyntactic processing (Juffs, 2004; Miyake & Friedman, 1998; Sagarra, 2007b), comprehension (Harrington & Sawyer, 1992; Kormos & Sáfár, 2008; Leeser, 2007; Walter, 2004), production (”
- The role of L1 and L2 working memory in literal and inferential comprehension in L2 reading (2010, background): “WM capacity is shown to correlate significantly with L2 reading comprehension (Harrington & Sawyer, 1992; Leeser, 2007; Walter, 2004).”
- Content familiarity, task repetition and Chinese EFL learners’ engagement in second language use (2017, background): “The facilitative role of content familiarity in L2 learners’ reading and listening comprehension is well documented (Leeser, 2007; Schmidt-Rinehart, 1994), but its positive effects on developing speaking performance have not been explored until recently.”
- Aspects of working memory in L2 learning (2011, background): “Researchers have examined the role of WM in various L2 language processes, including reading (Walter 2006, Leeser 2007), writing (Adams & Guillot 2008), sentence processing (Juffs 2004; Felser & Roberts 2007), speaking (Fortkamp 1999; O’Brien et al. 2006), vocabulary development (Papagno & Vallar…”
