• Presenting figurative idioms with a touch of etymology: more than mere mnemonics? (2007, methodology): “We have started calling this mnemonic technique etymological elaboration (Boers et al., 2004a), as a subtype of semantic elaboration, i.e. the learner’s active and rich processing of an item with regard to its meaning (Cohen et al., 1986).”
• Form-focused Instruction in Second Language Vocabulary Learning: A Case for Contrastive Analysis and Translation (2008, background): “For additional examples of studies that include at least one FonFs condition, see Prince (1996), Qian (1996), Paribakht and Wesche (1997), Zimmerman (1997), Groot (2000), Kitajima (2001), Boers et al. (2004), Mondria and Wiersma, (2004), and Webb (2005, 2007).”
