Abstract:
The rapid development of new technologies and how these are affecting school age children is in this day and age an area of growing importance. In the context of second language (L2) acquisition, it has been noted that spare time activities of a digital nature impact those pupils who spend more time on activities such as online gaming in the target language than average (Sundqvist 2019, 95-103). The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible effect three different digital spare time activities (computer and video games, movies and music) have on listening comprehension.

A newly emerging, developing country has many high priority areas. Many of these high priority areas are related to the educational system. Education is viewed by many political leaders (and also by citizens rich and poor) as a 'Golden Key' which will unlock doors labelled with words such as 'Development', 'Progress', 'Success', and 'the English Language'. The English Language, a modern technical, trade and diplomatic language, is one of the avenues of communication which may enhance development within Vietnam.

Abstract:
Little research has explored listening comprehension in children whereas reading comprehension has been extensively investigated. One of the reasons for this is that listening comprehension and reading comprehension are highly correlated and it is generally assumed that they draw on the same cognitive-linguistic processes. This assumption has been formalised in the “Simple View of Reading” (Gough & Tunmer, 1986) which states that, once printed text has been decoded, it is understood in exactly the same way as its spoken equivalent.

Abstract:
This dissertation research investigates the cognitive mechanisms underlying second language (L2) listening comprehension. I use three types of sentential contexts, congruent, neutral and incongruent, to look at how L2 learners construct meaning in spoken sentence comprehension. The three types of contexts differ in their context predictability. The last word in a congruent context is highly predictable (e.g., Children are more affected by the disease than adults), the last word in a neutral context is likely but not highly predictable (e.g., Children are more affected by the disease than nurse

本研究通過對深圳大學初級漢語水平留學生的晤談以及測試,發現初級水平階段的漢語學生在聆聽過程中常出現以下困難: 1. 未能準確辨識出語音。 2. 雖然能夠識別單個辭彙或者短語,但是無法獲取整個句子的含義。 3. 未能及時進入聆聽狀態,以至於錯過了錄音的開始部分。 4. 遇到障礙往往會卡在困難之處,導致錯過了後續的錄音內容。 5. 無法概括出語段大意。 由於語言知識的不足,留學生在聆聽過程中往往受挫。從認知負荷理論的角度看,無論是語音、辭彙、語法結構,乃至於句子的深層含義和文本大意,不同的層面都對工作記憶施加了負荷。降低認知負荷的有效方法便是激活學生的圖式,對所聽材料進行預測、補充以及選擇性加工,使工作記憶留存更多資源處理不熟悉的任務。適當的聆聽策略可以幫助學生激活長時記憶中的圖式,跳躍障礙,提升理解。 基於此,本研究以深圳大學初級漢語班的外國學生為研究對象,以其中一班(共13 名學生)為實驗組,另一個班(共11 名學生)為控制組,進行准實驗研究。考慮到學生已初步具備預估、猜想的意識,且大部分聆聽困難可透過此方法得以解決,所以在實驗過程中,實驗組學生將接受“猜一猜”的聽力策略教學法。此聽力策略的實施階段包括聆聽以前和聆聽過程。控制組學生接受教師原有的教學方法,即聆聽前教師講解生詞,學生流覽問題,而後聽錄音做練習。 准實驗研究結果顯示,實驗組學生“詞義推斷”一項成效明顯

One of the major questions in second language (L2) phonological learning is whether perception precedes (and therefore guides) production. This question is important for knowing what types of training most benefit L2 learners. While most theories assume that perception always precedes production (e.g., Best, 1995; Flege, 1995), several recent studies have found that production may precede perception (e.g., Baker & Trofimovich, 2006; Beach, Brunham, & Kitamura, 2001; Goto, 1971; Sheldon & Strange, 1982; Underbakke, 1993), demonstrating that this complex relationship may differ depending on how
