Fluency in Second Language Testing: Insights From Different Disciplines (2018, methodology): “In the O’Brien et al. (2007) and Segalowitz and Freed (2004) studies, the actual ACTFL unscripted OPI was used, and Riggenbach (1991) also used an unscripted dialogue.”
Aptitude, phonological memory, and second language proficiency in nonnovice adult learners (2009, methodology): “, 2006), and to L2 oral fluency gains in adults (O’Brien et al., 2007).”
Phonological memory and children's second language grammar learning (2008, background): “It is closely linked to actual L2 learning gains in the classroom, even after removing effects of general intelligence, school motivation, and prior L2 skill (French, 2006), and underlies the development of L2 vocabulary (Atkins & Baddeley, 1998; Cheung, 1996; French, 2006; Gupta, 2003; Masoura & Ga”
Praat script to detect syllable nuclei and measure speech rate automatically (2009, methodology): “Speech rate is used as a measure of fluency in second language acquisition and bilingualism research (e.g., O’Brien, Segalowitz, Freed, & Collentine, 2007; Riggen-bach, 1991; Towell, Hawkins, & Bazergui, 1996); in research diagnosing speech and language disorders (e.g., Feyereisen, Pillon, & de…”
Phonological memory and lexical, narrative, and grammatical skills in second language oral production by adult learners (2006, background): “First, unlike serial nonword recall and nonword repetition (the two most frequently used measures of PM), serial nonword recognition is less susceptible to long-term memory effects, such as lexicality (Gathercole et al., 2001; Hulme, Maughan, & Brown, 1991), language of testing (Thorn, Gathercole, &”
The many faces of study abroad: an update on the research on L2 gains emerged during a study abroad experience (2011, background): “( 2007 ) analysed the effects of PM on L2 fluency gains in learners of Spanish in two learning contexts: AH and SA.”
