Simão, Carla; Glória, Joana; Torres Oliveira, Sara; Deuchande, Sofia; Abranches, Margarida; Correia, Susana; Nunes, Paula; Teodoro, FilomenaIntroduction: Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) at any age. Its prevalence in children is estimated at 3-5%. The knowledge of its prevalence allows for the adequacy of control, treatment and prevention measures, to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with CVD. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of hypertension in school-age children and adolescents and...

From meaning to sound
Tavares, Gabriela; Ge, Yuxin; Correia, Susana; Rebuschat, PatrickIntroduction: Adult learners often struggle to perceive and acquire unfamiliar speech sounds in a second language, especially at the initial stages of learning. Traditional perceptual training methods, such as discrimination tasks, tend to be less effective with beginners, as they rely on low-level acoustic judgments and lack meaningful context. This study investigates whether training with cross-situational wo...
Effects of phonetic training and cognitive aptitude on the perception and produ...
Correia, Susana; Rato, Anabela; Ge, Yuxin; Dinis Fernandes, João; Kachlicka, Magdalena; Saito, Kazuya; Rebuschat, PatrickResearch on second language (L2) speech learning suggests that incidental perception training can lead to the establishment of non-native phonological categories. The present study contributes to this line of enquiry by investigating how this training is mediated by individual differences in working memory capacity and domain-general auditory processing abilities. In our study, 130 native British English speake...
Níveis e descritores de complexidade textual para adultos de baixa literacia
Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, Raquel; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, Sílvia; Reis, Maria LeonorEste trabalho pretende descrever o processo de desenvolvimento de um referencial de complexidade textual inserida no âmbito do projeto iRead4Skills. O nosso objetivo é fazer uma descrição e análise dos traços linguísticos que conferem complexidade aos textos, em particular àqueles que se destinam a adultos de baixa literacia. Apesar da existência de orientações sobre a proficiência em leitura (QECR, PISA, etc.)...
Framework of Textual Complexity for Low-Literacy Adults
Amaro, Raquel; Correia, Susana; Monteiro, Ricardo; Pintard, Alice; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, SílviaThis paper presents the iRead4Skills framework of textual complexity, a novel approach to text difficulty tailored to low-literacy adult native speakers. Recognizing the pivotal role of literacy in personal and professional development, this framework addresses the challenges of identifying and adapting texts for this demographic. Integrating lexical, syntactic, and cohesion features, the framework delineates t...
Levels and descriptors of textual complexity for adults with low literacy: a be...
Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, Raquel; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, Sílvia; Reis, Maria LeonorThis paper presents the iRead4Skills benchmark of textual complexity, a novel approach to text complexity difficulty tailored to low-literacy adult native speakers. Despite the existence of various instruments and guidelines related to reading proficiency (CEFR, PISA, etc.), little attention is given to adult reading difficulties and how these manifest linguistically in texts. Recognizing the pivotal role of li...
Predicting Discrimination in L3 Portuguese by Hungarian Speakers
Tavares, Gabriela; Deme, Andrea; Correia, SusanaPerceptual overlap has been attested as significantly contributing to difficulties in L2 speech perception. The current study aims at investigating whether this effect is also observable in the context of L3, specifically in the perception of European Portuguese oral vowels by Hungarian listeners. We crossed the results of two experiments—a categorization task and a discrimination task—and found that perceptual...
Intelligent Support for Low Literacy Adults
Reis, Maria Leonor; Barbosa, Sílvia; Moutinho, Michell; Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, RaquelThis paper presents the Portuguese dataset of the iRead4Skills project (Dataset 1: corpora by complexity level for FR, PT, and SP – v.2.0), a representative sample of written European Portuguese for automatic complexity assessment that addresses a gap in existing resources for Portuguese. The corpus was created within the framework of the iRead4Skills project, which encompasses Portuguese, French, and Spanish. ...
