Introduction: the paper investigates cross-linguistic influences between the two previously learnt languages and their effects on classroom L3 acquisition. The study checks the predictions of the existing theories of mechanisms of transfer into the L3 attested for naturalistic learners. The main predictions get confirmed with the population of clas...

... The existing literature on language acquisition is abundant, and while differing theories on learning abound, there is some consensus on the relative ease of language acquisition by learners who already possess proficiency in multiple languages Frontiers in Psychology 04 frontiersin.org (Sokolova and Plisov, 2019;Hoppe et al., 2020). There is also evidence to support the relationship between the relative complexity of language acquisition of languages within the same linguistic family (Stein-Smith, 2018;Melo-Pfeifer, 2021), and the important role of teaching and pedagogical styles has been well documented (Zhang and Sun, 2022). ...
Within the context of China, this study seeks to examine the relationship between English language proficiency, the native dialect of the learner, and the learner’s reason, or motivation for learning English. English language proficiency can be an important vehicle for accessing high quality higher education, for interacting with non-Chinese, and for enhancing employment and career opportunities Data was gathered through an online survey with 985 usable responses recorded. Respondents included a distribution of speakers from five of the major distinct dialects of China. The analysis provides empirical evidence of a diversity of propensities and motivations for English language acquisition among learners from different regions and native dialects. Access to international higher education as a type of motivation is found to have a moderating effect on English proficiency. Other findings suggest that learners in regions with more historic exposure to foreign interaction are more likely to be motivated for social reasons, those from regions with export focused commerce will be motivated for business related reasons. The results of this study may be of interest to policy makers, linguists, educators, and those with an interest in socioeconomic sustainability through language acquisition and education as a method of socioeconomic mobility.

... The correct interpretation of phraseological units is vital to understand cultural, historical, social and linguistic specificity of a foreign language (Sulima, 2019;Tsvetkova & Mineeva, 2019). We can state that the study of phraseological units can contribute to a higher level of cross-cultural awareness (Sokolova & Plisov, 2019); without them effective communication (Kirillova et al., 2019) between people of different communities and cultures is impossible (Dzyuba et al, 2020). ...
... The teacher in different ways and volumes carries out the above values at various stages of his professional pedagogical activity: 1) at the stage of entering the profession; 2) at the stage of mature pedagogical activity; 3) at the stage of pedagogical creativity (Sokolova & Plisov, 2019). ...
... In the 5th grade, children with cerebral palsy with preserved intellectual abilities begin to actively study new vocabulary and create full-fledged statements, since by this time they begin to correctly compose phrases and sentences in a foreign language. Different tasks can be used to enhance memorizing new lexical units, which are needed to create a statement: for example, insert a missing word or a few words in a sentence (the task sounds like: fill in the word), find new words in the word snake, or the game 'snowball' can be used to revise new lexical units written on the card in addition to the words listed by classmates in the correct order, repeat the words after the teacher, arrange the English letters mixed together in the correct order to get the word (the task sounds like: unscramble the word) (Birkett, 2004;Sokolova & Plisov, 2019). The multiple repetition of the material leads to successful mastering of new lexical units. ...
... Monologic speech requires not only the formation of special motives and the need for monologic statements, but also the assimilation of syntactic means for building an expanded message, as well as the formation of various types of control and self-control. The need to comply with all the above conditions is noted in numerous works (Ilyashenko et al., 2019;Levina, 2013;Sokolova & Plisov, 2019;Ushakova, 2013). Preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment significantly lag behind their normally developing peers in mastering the skills of connected speech. ...
... Prior knowledge about the subject of the text comes into play to help figure out unfamiliar words and concepts in a new discourse. Similar results were obtained by other researchers (Guseva & Shamov, 2018;Kruchinina et al., 2018;Mieszkowska & Otwinowska-Kasztelanic, 2015;Smidfelt, 2018;Smidfelt & Weijer, 2019;Sokolova & Plisov, 2019). ...
... The term culture is described by scientists in a variety of definitions and explanations: as a form rule of social systems, memory and control device of society [1], an ongoing argument about rightness of choice [2], the development of all aspects of human life that are not biologically determined and a whole way of life and the beliefs, values and attitudes associated with it [3], a theory about the world and the people, the ways distributing goods among them [4]. Culture being inseparable from languages, language proficiency may fail in a natural environment if the cultural awareness is minimal or non-existent [5,6]. Awareness of a foreign language culture is a significant component of learning and teaching. ...

... This poses certain tasks for both teachers and students. When applying RWCT, it is necessary to focus on the development of students' intellectual abilities (Sokolova & Plisov, 2019), the formation of universal educational actions (Ryabova & Terletskaya, 2018), self-control and self-testing skills that allow students to learn independently, without monitoring from the teacher (Ariyan & Shamov, 2017). ...
