Studies which support the effect of cognateness: I shall present three studies in which their findings are incompatible with Milton and Daller’s (2007) findings, which disputed the impact of cognateness on L2 word learning. The first study was carried out by Willis & Ohashi (2012) to investigate the factors that affect the learning process of L2 words. The participants were 69 Japanese ESL learners studying in different departments of Tokyo University for females: Linguistics, Communication, Science
OLS regression estimates that the return to schooling is 9.06% for men and 10.62% for women. The first stage results, reported in the second column of Table1, indicate that the RoSLA to 16 in the UK increased the average number of years of education by 0.12 for men and 0.74 for women. Our second stage IV shows that an additional year of education increases returns to the log of wages of 13.21% and 22.39% for men and women respectively. Once again, our IV estimates are higher than OLS which could
