"Studies investigating foreign language learning in adolescents and adults are
consistent with the above studies. RWL proved more helpful than RO for vocabulary

comprehension and reading rate (e.g., Chang & Millett, 2015). As in the previously reported
studies in native language, students preferred RWL to the other reading conditions." - page 6]]> 2021-06-18 00:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1613284980 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1613562216 From this page you can sign in as an Educator to access student data.]]> 2021-06-18 02:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1613562216 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614380510 2021-06-18 14:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614380510 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614382432 2021-06-18 14:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614382432 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614383623 At just under 19 minutes long this one is more lunch size than snack.]]> 2021-06-18 14:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614383623 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614384699 2021-06-18 14:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614384699 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614386009 2021-06-18 14:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614386009 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614387351 2021-06-18 14:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614387351 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614388504 2021-06-18 14:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614388504 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614389673 2021-06-18 14:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614389673 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614390497 2021-06-18 14:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614390497 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614428018 2021-06-18 14:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1614428018 wmacklin1 https://padlet.com/wmacklin1/ulzhpomp9ps8p15k/wish/1814740654 If you don't need to translate, but want audio-support to read Non-English text, simply change the primary voice to the language of the text to be read.
