“…However, the finding of this study revealed that non-interactive Extramural English was essential. Although not every participant was exposed to interactive language, all of them reported regularly watching, reading, and using English language settings on their devices, which was supported by their positive parental attitude towards language learning and their educational or economic background (Altinkamis & Simon, 2020;Cantone, 2022;Cohen et al, 2021;De Houwer, 2017). The participants in the present study made fewer errors in clarity, punctual and grammar (1%-29%) compared to a previous study by Mustafa et al (2017).…”

“…It has been found that mothers with greater levels of education and parents from higher socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to encourage their children to acquire a second language (Brown, 2021). Parents might assume the role of agents when they teach their children to speak English at home (Cohen et al, 2021) or provide learning facilities to their children, for example, by reading books or accessing videos that support language acquisition (Azzolini et al, 2020).…”

“…It was found that the school factors must fully compensate for disparities in English language competency. Parental attitude toward language learning (Cohen et al, 2021;De Houwer, 2017), parent's education, and socioeconomic status are strongly associated with students' English language competency (Altinkamis & Simon, 2020;Azzolini et al, 2020;Lindgren & Muñoz, 2013). The parents provide home facilities, such as books, which have been evident to increase phonological awareness and reading comprehension that support language acquisition (Pace et al, 2017), increasing the quality and quantity of language exposure the students receive, recognised as Extramural English.…”

Studying in an international school setting offers an excellent opportunity for students to acquire the target language, English, through abundant language exposure. As observed during classroom observations, several students outperformed their peers in targeted language production despite the same school language exposure. Extramural English is assumed to play a substantial influence. This case study explored the Extramural English exposure of 15 ninth-grade students, the duration of such exposure, and the language accuracy of their academic writing captured after receiving it. A qualitative design was utilised to examine the data acquired from students’ linguistics background survey, daily online logs, interview transcription, and their writing products. The findings reveal that parents are the central agency facilitating language learning. During the eight-week research period, 80% of the students received interactive Extramural English, while 100% were exposed to non-interactive Extramural English. The frequency of receiving Extramural English exposure is more significant than the onset of exposure. A minimal linguistic error was recognised for 29% of average conciseness and 23% of inappropriate punctuation, while other errors were between 1% and 5%. This research highlights the importance of Extramural English exposure to written language accuracy among secondary EFL students.

“…Practice encompasses both the strategies employed and language use. It is indicated to influence bilingual language outcomes (Cohen et al 2021). However, parents may be oblivious to strategies that they employ (De Houwer and Nakamura 2022).…”

Family language policy (FLP) provides a critical framework to explain the planning of language use in the home. It constitutes a dynamic construct that sheds light on variations in the language acquisition of bilingual children, potentially explaining the shifts that may occur in language dominance and preference. The environment and life experiences are thought to shape FLP, yet little is known about the function of age. This study examines the association of FLP with children’s chronological age and the age they become bilingual. Data were collected via questionnaires from parents and their bilingual children (n = 82) aged 5.08–14.08 (M = 8.98, SD = 3.27) speaking English (heritage language) and Hebrew (societal language). Correlations and logistic regressions indicate a relationship between FLP and dimensions of age. Findings reveal that age may have repercussions for parent language beliefs, patterns of language use within the home, and the adoption of language promotion strategies. Younger children and children with a later age of onset of bilingualism are associated with families who lean towards a pro-heritage language FLP. Considering dimensions of age enhances our understanding of FLP and may offer a greater insight into how languages are supported in the bilingual home.

“…On ve continents, 200 million people speak French. French is a major language used for international communication and is one of the most studied foreign languages after English, ranking ninth among the most spoken languages in the world [5,6]. Mastering French allows one to communicate with French speakers from all continents while expressing another perspective on the world, and to bene t from wellinformed international media in French (e.g., TV5, France 24, and Radio France International) [7,8].…”

Due to the large French vocabulary, how quickly retrieve and accurately identify the required vocabulary is still a big challenge in French learning. In view of the above problems, we introduce a deep learning algorithm in this study to upgrade and optimize the retrieval system of French words and optimize the acquisition speed of speech words data and the recognition accuracy of speech words, so as to meet the needs of users for word retrieval. The results show that the two training methods of SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters for fast retrieval and extraction of French speech vocabulary reduce from a maximum of 11.65% to 4.25% in the WER criterion, with a maximum reduction of 7.4%; the two training methods of SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters for fast retrieval and extraction of French speech vocabulary reduce from a maximum of 13.52% to 4.4% in the SER criterion. The training methods of fast retrieval and extraction of the SGD synchronous update network and alternate update network parameters in French speech vocabulary reduced from the highest 582 ms to 351 ms in the response time criterion, with a maximum reduction of 8.84%; the maximum reduction of 39.7%. In French speech vocabulary, SGD synchronous updating network and alternating updating network parameter algorithm are used to quickly retrieve and extract French words. When the number of iterations reaches 120, the model fitting accuracy of the training set reaches 90.05%, while the model can reach 94.5% in the test set. The system has a stronger generalization ability and a higher speech vocabulary recognition rate to meet the practical requirements.
