Children at risk for dyslexia show deficient left-hemispheric memory representations for new spoken word forms
2021
Developmental dyslexia is a specific learning disorder with impairments in reading and spelling acquisition. Apart from literacy problems, dyslexics show inefficient speech encoding and deficient novel word learning, with underlying problems in phonological processing and learning. These problems have been suggested to be related to deficient specialization of the left hemisphere for language processing. To examine this possibility, we tracked with magnetoencephalography (MEG) the activation of the bilateral temporal cortices during formation of neural memory traces for new spoken word forms in 7–8-year-old children with high familial dyslexia risk and in controls. The at-risk children impr…
Bilinguisme familial et acquisitions scolaires. Le cas des départements d'outremer français (DOM)
2007
07075 - Actes en ligne à l'adresse : http://www.congresintaref.org/index.php?cont_id=8&lang=fr; International audience; L'objectif de l'étude présentée ici est d'étudier quel peut être l'effet d'un bilinguisme familial sur le développement des acquisitions scolaires. Si certains travaux en psycholinguistique tendent à en révéler le rôle plutôt positif, la représentation commune qui prévaut dans le contexte particuliers des DOM français est plutôt défavorable. Un suivi longitudinal d'un échantillon d'élèves martiniquais de la GSM au CP a permis successivement d'évaluer les compétences langagières des élèves dans leurs deux langues et d'en déterminer l'effet sur leurs compétences en lecture. …
Les déterminants de l'acquisition des compétences dans les collèges français selon leur appartenance ou non au dispositif de l'éducation prioritaire …
2015
International audience; CEDRE (Cycle d'Evaluations Disciplinaires Réalisées sur Echantillons) a été construit par la DEPP (Direction de l'Evaluation, de la Prospective et de la Performance) pour mesurer l'évolution des compétences des élèves de troisième en France. Le premier cycle (2003-2009) mesure les compétences "générales" des élèves. Le rapport du Haut Conseil de l'Education, 2011, souligne la rigueur de ces enquêtes et le fait qu'elles sont peu exploitées. Ce travail va permettre d'utiliser les données CEDRE pour analyser et comparer les déterminants de l'acquisition des compétences des élèves de troisième des collèges publics français de l'éducation prioritaire et hors éducation pri…
"I trust the printed ones more" : Finnish upper secondary school students’ use of print and electronic dictionaries
2017
Digitalisoituvassa maailmassa myös sanakirjat siirtyvät painetusta formaatista sähköiseen. Sähköisten sanakirjojen suureen suosioon vaikuttaa varsinkin niiden käyttömukavuus ja nopeus sekä niiden painettua sanakirjaa parempi saavutettavuus myös kodin ja koulun ulkopuolella esimerkiksi älypuhelimien sanakirjasovellusten avulla. Sähköisten sanakirjojen kirjo on kuitenkin suuri, eivätkä kaikki oppijoiden käyttämät sanakirjat ole käyneet läpi minkäänlaista asiantuntija-arviointia. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää suomalaisten lukiolaisten painettujen ja sähköisten englannin sanakirjojen käyttöä. Tutkielman aineisto kerättiin kyselylomakkeella, jossa kysyttiin, kuinka usein ja millais…
Pronunciation Learning Environment: EFL Students' Cognitions of In-class and Out-of-class Factors Affecting Pronunciation Acquisition
2018
The way a foreign language (L2) learner perceives his or her educational environment may affect their processes of L2 acquisition. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to explore English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ perceptions of their teachers’ pronunciation, in-class and outside-class factors regarding pronunciation acquisition, such as pronunciation activities, recordings, focus on form, peer pronunciation, listening to music, to mention a few. A group of 89 participants responded to a survey, via which the data necessary to respond to the following three research questions was collected. How do EFL learners perceive their teachers’ pronunciation? What is the relatio…
The lexicon of community acquis: how to negotiate the non-negotiable
2009
In the context of the activities aimed to improve and develop the integration and cooperation of new Member States together with the states already belonging to the European Community, EU institutions have carried out a number of measures to increase the coherence of the body of common rights and obligations, binding all the Member States of the European Union (community acquis), for a long time. For this reason, the Commission of the European Community began in 2001 a process of consultation and discussion about the way in which problems resulting from the lack of a correspondence between national contract laws (and related terms) belonging to different legal systems should be dealt with a…
The Early Bird gets the Word
2019
Success in an increasingly globalized world sets requirements for versatile communication skills and understanding about other cultures. One of the keys to success is versatile language skills, on which the European Commission spoke out as early as in 1995, recommending that every European citizen should learn two foreign languages in addition to their mother tongue. Now, more than twenty years later, the launch of early A1 language teaching that is to begin in the first grade in Finland, in January 2020, is a significant step towards this goal. Studies show that early foreign language learning needs to be carefully carried out in order to achieve positive effects and the effects that have …
The effects of training on the grammar of preschool children
1974
The acquisition of morphological and syntactic rules of language during early childhood has been the object of intensive study in many languages during the last few years. As regards English, some surveys have already been published on the results (McNeill, 1970; Slobin, 1971). Research on the acquisition of morphological and syntactic patterns has been influenced on the one hand by psycholinguistics, on the other by the psychology of learning. This duality of starting points manifests itself also in the way of presenting problems and in the interpretation of results. One of the methodological difficulties when studying the acquisition of grammar was for a long time how to separate those la…
Accelerating early language development with multi-sensory training
2012
This paper reports the outcome of a multi-sensory intervention on infant language skills. A programme titled ‘Rhyming Game and Exercise Club’, which included kinaesthetic–tactile mother–child rhyming games performed in natural joint attention situations, was intended to accelerate Finnish six- to eight-month-old infants’ language development. The participants were 20 infants (10 training group children and 10 control children). Their cognitive skills and both receptive and expressive language skills (Bayley Scales III) were tested three times (pre-, post- and follow-up assessments). The groups differed significantly in receptive language skills at the baseline, in favour of the controls. Th…
Trajectories of reading development: A follow-up from birth to school age of children with and without risk for dyslexia
2006
In order to understand why some children are vulnerable to difficulties in their language development and their acquisition of reading skill, the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Dyslexia followed 200 Finnish children from birth to school age. Half of these children had a family history of reading problems and were considered at risk for dyslexia; the other half were not at risk. A novel analysis, mixture modeling, revealed four subgroups with differential developmental trajectories to early reading. The subgroups who showed either a “dysfluent trajectory” (n = 12; 11 at risk vs. 1 control) or a “declining trajectory” (n = 35; 24 vs. 11) contained more children with familial risk for dyslexi…
