At the start and end of treatment, children were videotaped to obtain speech and language samples.
The reason for this is that a migrant who arrives older to the home country would have difficulties obtaining the language and, thus, would not obtain a good education.
Making several basic assumptions, we show that as the proportion of L2 learners increases, greatest language fitness is obtained for languages that minimize grammatical distinctions while decreasing redundancy (Text S10); as the proportion of L1 increases, language structure is increasingly determined by redundancy increasing the likelihood of languages with more complex morphological systems.
I obtained every language Rosetta Stone offers and took a couple refresher courses in Spanish and German (languages I haven't spoken in years).
However, although the mean score obtained by language learners in the 'focus on forms' group was slightly higher than the mean score obtained by language learners in the 'focus on form' group immediately following the intervention, the pattern was reversed within a period of ten weeks following the intervention.

Using only prosodic features to automatically classify syntactic or dialogue act boundaries results in a some 5% points lower classification performance compared to a classification based on syntactic or dialogue act information (e.g., information obtained from language models) [29].
The uniqueness of Zsyntax consists, however, in the ability to put together empirical information (in the EVFs) and formal rules (in the LVFs), in order to obtain a language that allows the representation of molecular biology reactions as theorems.
Data obtained guided language considerations and awareness of specific cultural requirements, as well as helping to define the social structure of each community [ 15].
