How endorser attributes influence conservation communication
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation communication often uses the celebrity endorsement strategy. However, robust evidence regarding its effectiveness is still limited. More importantly, practitioners do not have guidelines for selecting an ideal endorser because there is no clear consensus on what endorser attributes are most critical.

The Development and Validation of the Chinese Vocabulary Levels Test
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In response to the increasing need for effective Chinese vocabulary assessments, this study developed the Chinese Vocabulary Levels Test (CVLT), a test designed for intermediate‐level Chinese as a second or foreign language (CSL/FL) learners, based on the vocabulary lists (levels 4–6) from the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Collaborative writing has attracted increasing attention in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction due to its potential to enhance learners’ writing competence. However, few studies have examined the comparative effects of collaborative versus independent writing on EFL learners’ individual performance, especially in higher‐order ...

Vocabulary Strategy Instruction in the Argentine EFL Context: Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on vocabulary strategy instruction (VSI), little has been known about teachers’ perspectives on how it is understood and implemented in practice. This study investigated Argentinian EFL teachers’ priorities in vocabulary instruction, their perceived knowledge of learner strategies for spoken vocabulary, and factors ...

Finetuning Pre‐Trained Language Models for Automatic Assessment of English‐Chinese Interpreting
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent years have seen growing interest in leveraging pre‐trained language models (PLMs) for automatic assessment of spoken‐language performance. Contributing to this emerging line of work, the present study offers the first attempt to finetune two PLMs, GTE‐multilingual and mmBERT, for assessing English‐Chinese interpreting, using over 1700 ...

Making Policy Evidence Traceable: A Modular Preregistration Framework for Policy Evaluation
Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT Preregistration is increasingly used in policy research, but its value depends on whether preregistered commitments can be clearly linked to reported analyses. Policy studies often involve multiple outcomes, evolving administrative data, consequential design and analytic choices, and adaptive implementation, making it difficult to distinguish ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Zinc‐based biodegradable metals are promising implant materials, and additive manufacturing offers a powerful route for their patient‐specific fabrication. However, process‐induced surface defects can accelerate degradation and compromise biocompatibility, rendering post‐processing essential.
