Input spacing in second language learning
The Center for International Foreign Language Teacher Education (CIFLTE) is hosting a public talk with Professor John Rogers on the topic Input spacing in second language learning.
Abstract
Input spacing, broadly defined, refers to how varying the amount of time between learning events influences learning outcomes. In this talk, I begin by outlining theoretical frameworks and key methodological considerations for input spacing researchers. I then highlight empirical studies demonstrating the impact of input spacing on L2 development and conclude with recommendations for research and practice.
