Derwing, Ron I. Thomson, Jennifer A. Foote and Murray J. Munro This study is intended to help ESL (English as a second language) instructors make evidence-based decisions based on second language (L2) listening-development findings when selecting features for pronunciation instruction. In a longitudinal study of listening perception, we examined five common problems to determine which were most likely to improve in the absence of explicit instruction and which ones did not improve over time.... DOI: 10.3138/cmlr.1215 Vocabulary Learning through Assisted and Unassisted Repeated Reading Stuart Webb and Anna C-S Chang Previous research investigating the effects of unassisted and assisted repeated reading has primarily focused on how each approach may contribute to improvement in reading comprehension and fluency.

DOI: 10.3138/cmlr.1204.1 L'utilisation d'une mesure de la mémoire phonologique auprès d'une population d'enfants linguistiquement hétérogène Véronique Fortier, Daphnée Simard and Leif French Cette étude avait comme objectif de mettre à l'essai une tâche de répétition de non-mots destinée à une population francophone auprès d'une population dont la langue d'origine n'est pas le français. Un groupe de locuteurs de langues d'origine (n = 27) a été apparié à un groupe de locuteurs natifs du français (n = 27) possédant des connaissances lexicales réceptives comparables. Nous avons comparé les résultats des deux groupes à une tâche de répétition de non-mots. ...

Drawing on a corpus of 1.6 million words from messages posted on a UK-hosted adolescent health Web site, analysis began by identifying a range of keywords relating to self-harm. The subsequent contextual examination of these keywords afforded a close description of the contributors' experiences of self-harm and the factors that resulted in their self-injurious behaviours....
