Abstract In an increasingly ageing, multilingual, and digitalised society, there is still a lack of research on older adults’ adoption use mobile technology for supporting their self-directed second language learning. the present study, we investigated extent to which seniors residing in Germany (aged 60+) engage mobile-assisted learning (MALL) factors encouraging or discouraging them from using apps by conducting web-based survey ( n = 208) series in-depth individual interviews 22). Our...
Background: Older adults constitute a large and fast-growing segment of the population for whom language learning may be especially beneficial.However, current mobile applications (apps) overlook older users' needs capabilities, resulting in low app uptake among them eventually hindering their continued access to opportunities an increasingly digitalized world.Objective: We explored adults' needs, behaviors, goals develop innovative prototype specifically designed facilitate them.Method:...
Previous studies on non-native (L2) anaphor resolution suggest that L2 comprehenders are guided more strongly by discourse-level cues compared to native (L1) comprehenders. Here we examine whether and how a grammatically inappropriate antecedent's discourse status affects the likelihood of it being considered during L1 pronoun resolution. We used an interference paradigm extrasentential impacts German object pronouns. In eye-tracking-during-reading experiment examined elaborated local...

Abstract Personal pronouns can potentially be resolved in logical syntax by means of variable binding (VB) or at the discourse-representational level through coreference assignment (CR). Previous research suggests that real-time reference resolution is guided more strongly discourse-level cues a non-native language (L2) than native (L1). Here we use VB/CR distinction to further test this hypothesis. Using eye-movement monitoring during reading and complementary questionnaire task, compared...
