Identity, Politics and Power: Stories of Teaching Language in Quebec

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language teaching is an inherently political act, and in Québec it is inextricably tied to questions of cultural belonging and national identity. This study explores the experiences of English as a second language (ESL) teachers in French‐medium schools in Québec. Drawing on critical applied linguistics and identity theory, it examines how pre‐

Transitioning From L1 Medium of Instruction to L2 English Medium Instruction: The Role of Translanguaging in Contributing to EFL Students’ Language Learning Motivation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on English‐Medium‐Instruction (EMI) highlights inadequate support for students transitioning from L1‐medium‐instruction to EMI. To date, little research has focused on how L2 students’ adaptation to an EMI environment influences their L2 learning motivation (LLM).

Examining Regulatory Fit Effects on L2 Writing Motivation: Individual Regulatory Focus and Teacher Feedback

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on the learner's agency in feedback practices, this study investigates how learners’ regulatory focus (i.e., promotion‐ vs. prevention‐oriented) and teacher feedback interact to affect second language (L2) writing motivation. It examines the effects of regulatory fit on L2 learners’ writing motivation and self‐evaluation of writing ...

Accent Change in the Wake of the Industrial Revolution: Tracing Derhoticisation Across Historic North Lancashire

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article applies a social model of historical dialect evolution in 19th‐century Britain to the analysis of sociophonetic data. Our aim is to assess where new dialect formation is likely to occur, and where it is not. Using recordings from 27 speakers, we first analyse coda rhoticity in north Lancashire, UK. The speakers were born 1890–1917

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

Sleep and cardiac autonomic modulation in older adults: Insights from an at‐home study with auditory deep sleep stimulation

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The autonomic nervous system regulates cardiovascular activity during sleep, likely impacting cardiovascular health. Aging, a primary cardiovascular risk factor, is associated with cardiac autonomic disbalance and diminished sleep slow waves. Therefore, slow waves may be linked to aging, autonomic activity and cardiovascular health. However, it
