iPads and ICALL: L2 Lexical Development at the Advanced Learning Level

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Advanced L2 learners are often expected to learn less frequent, academic words on their own. This study examines lexical development for advanced Spanish L2 learners (N= 25) who had unlimited access to an intelligent lexical tutor, Langbot, both in and out of the classroom via their iPads. Little research has targeted advanced vocabulary development and the benefit of ICALL at this level. This presentation highlights students’ lexical needs based on transcriptions that tracked every interaction with Langbot. Furthermore, survey data reveals advanced learner preferences and attitudes towards language learning with Langbot and iPads.
