Distinct neural systems recruited when speech production is modulated by different masking sounds
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-07)
When talkers speak in masking sounds, their speech undergoes a variety of acoustic and phonetic changes. These changes are known collectively as the Lombard effect. Most behavioural research and neuroimaging research in ...
Neurolinguistic measure of typological effects in multilingual transfer: introducing an ERP methodology
(Frontiers Media, 2015-08-07)
This article has two main objectives. First, we offer an introduction to the subfield of generative third language (L3) acquisition. Concerned primarily with modeling initial stages transfer of morphosyntax, one goal of ...
Dealing with the Effects of Sensor Displacement in Wearable Activity Recognition
(MDPI, 2014-06)
Most wearable activity recognition systems assume a predefined sensor deployment that remains unchanged during runtime. However, this assumption does not reflect real-life conditions. During the normal use of such systems, ...
Should EFL Teachers Present Vocabulary in Semantically Related Sets?
(2015-01)
[EN] Teaching vocabulary in semantically related sets is common practice among EFL teachers. The present study tests the effectiveness of this method by comparing it to the alternative technique: presenting vocabulary in ...
Internationalisation, multilingualism and English-medium instruction: the teacher's perspective
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2011)
[EN]In the newEuropean higher education space, Universities in Europe are exhorted to cultivate and develop multilingualism. The European Commission’s 2004–2006 action plan for promoting language learning and diversity ...
CLIL at the linguistic interfaces
(John Benjamins, 2018-01-26)
!is study explores the e"ect of CLIL on the acquisition of nominal
morphology (syntax-morphology interface) and article use (syntax-semanticsdiscourse-
interface), linguistic areas that have been scarcely investigated ...
Target language proficiency and reported use of compensatory strategies by young CLIL learners
(Wiley, 2019-03-21)
Studies investigating compensatory strategies (CSs) by
means of questionnaires in English‐as‐a‐Foreign‐Language
(EFL) contexts with young learners are lacking, particularly
in Content‐and‐Language‐Integrated‐Learning ...
¿Los juntamos? A study of L1 use in interactional strategies in CLIL vs. NON-CLIL primary school learners
(De Gruyter, 2018-03-22)
Research on the use of the first language (L1) in interactional strategies
by young Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is still in its infancy.
Here we compare CLIL and NON-CLIL primary school children in ...
On self-reported use of communication strategies by CLIL learners in primary education
(Sage, 2017-08-16)
The use of communication strategies (CSs) in oral and written second language (L2) production has
been widely investigated (e.g. Muñoz, 2007). As for content and language integrated learning (CLIL)
settings, learners ...
Combining spectral and temporal modification techniques for speech intelligibility enhancement
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)
Modifying clean speech prior to output in noisy conditions can lead to substantial intelligibility gains. Most algorithms operate by redistributing energy across the signal, leaving the timing of the underlying speech ...
