Recent research suggests that gestures can enhance this process, which may be especially useful for children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), who have impaired structural language. This study investigates how children with DLD use prosodic and gestural cues to interpret phrasal ambiguities. Catalan-speaking children with and without DLD […]

Learners’ affective responses to pedagogic tasks and the effort that they invest in completing them are critical to the learning that takes place through tasks in task-based language teaching (TBLT) (Lambert, Aubrey, & Bui, 2023). Fluctuations in learners’ willingness to communicate (WTC) during pedagogic tasks-or task-specific WTC(Aubrey & Yashima, 2023)-are a locus for affective and […]

Researchers are increasingly using language measures to study emotion, yet less is known about whether language relates to other measures often used to study emotion. Building on previous work which focuses on associations between language and self-report, we test associations between language and a broader range of measures (self-report, observer report, facial cues, vocal cues). […]
