Publicación Incidental learning of collocations through reading an academic text(El Gruyter, 2024-07-15) Viña, Inés de la; Kim, Christina S; Chamorro Galán, María Gloria; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0537-8347This study investigated the incidental learning of collocations in two reading modes (reading-only (RO), reading-while-listening (RWL)), taking into account additional learner- and collocation-related predictors of learning (e.g., congruency). An academic text was used, as this could be a useful source for vocabulary learning for university-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Sixty-eight advanced Spanish EFL learners read a text containing 14 target collocations, in the RO or the RWL condition. Learning gains were measured in terms of form recall and form recognition. Results showed that collocations can be learnt incidentally from reading. While reading mode did not influence learning, congruency and prior vocabulary knowledge improved form recall, emphasising the importance of features specific to individual learners and collocations for vocabulary learning.Publicación The effects of L2 exposure at school on the cognitive development of children from monolingual backgrounds: A longitudinal study(Cambridge University Press, 2025-09-03) Chamorro Galán, María Gloria; Viña, Inés de la; Janke, VikkiThis longitudinal study examined the cognitive development of Spanish children from monolingual backgrounds attending schools with varying levels of English exposure (13%–83%) to assess whether higher L2 exposure results in advantages over time. 229 children (ages 6–7) completed background (nonverbal reasoning (NVR), working memory (WM), L1 vocabulary, L2 vocabulary) and experimental tests measuring attentional/executive functions (selective attention, divided attention, switching, inhibition) at the beginning and end of year 1 of primary education. Generalized linear mixed-effects models, accounting for factors such as family educational level, onset of L2 exposure and language exposure outside of school, indicated that children’s cognitive skills benefit from (high) L2 exposure at school, with greater L2 exposure being linked to more enhanced attentional/executive skills as well as to a larger L2 vocabulary. These findings support the positive effects of immersion programs, suggesting that L2 exposure in school settings alone can contribute to more developed attentional/executive skills.
