q1 i? The authors interpret their data as showing that successful versus unsuccessful performance tends to be predominantly associated with strategic behaviour while listening rather than with whether learners are HLLs or NHLLs. → Denise Santos & Gláucia Silva 2015

Authors' interpretation in the Discussion, drawing on their combined quantitative and qualitative findings and on prior characterisations of successful and unsuccessful listeners (O'Malley et al., 1989; Macaro et al., 2007). This is an author interpretation, not a tested result.

"successful or unsuccessful performance in listening in our data tends to be predominantly associated with learners' strategic behaviour while listening rather than with whether those students are HLLs or NHLLs, although at times the former may display a more efficient behaviour."

Related Claims¶

• Heritage learners scored only slightly higher than non-heritage learners on listening tasks, with no statistically significant group difference — related
• Heritage learners showed broader attention to the passage and selective second-listening attention, while non-heritage learners focused on local information — related
• Heritage learners of Portuguese perceive listening as the easiest of the four skills, while non-heritage learners find it as challenging as other skills — related
• Both learner groups were more successful on listening tasks requiring local understanding than on tasks requiring integration of information or inference — related
• All participants believed heritage learners perform better in classroom listening, but dialectal differences posed difficulties for HLLs that NHLLs did not notice — related
• Successful discoverers regulate learning more systematically, planning experiments and monitoring progress, while unsuccessful learners work unsystematically — related
