Communicative Drills: The Impact of Communicative Intent on Oral Proficiency

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This exploratory study investigated the role of communicative intent in second language (L2) oral practice by comparing communicative and meaningful drills. English language learners played a game designed to elicit repeated use of the second conditional.

Incidental Acquisition of Multiword Expressions Through Repeated Viewing: Sequential Use of L1 and L2 Captions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated viewing is reportedly a common learning and pedagogical strategy among autonomous second language (L2) learners and language teachers. This experimental study examined the extent to which sequential captioning use facilitates the acquisition of multiword expressions (MWEs) through repeated viewing under incidental learning conditions.

Climate‐Modulated Particle Toxicity: Acute Exposure to an Environmentally Informed Microplastic Mixture Induces Sex‐Dependent Systemic Reorganization in Swiss Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Speech Recognition Deficits in Presbyacusis: Links to Cortical Structural and Functional Alterations

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize speech recognition in presbyacusis and its associated neurophysiological and cortical structural features, and to explore structure‐function‐behavior relationships within the presbyacusis phenotype. Methods Thirty elderly patients with presbyacusis(HI) and thirty‐three healthy young controls(NH) completed a behavioral

Effects of Lymphatic and Venous Invasion Status on Postoperative Prognosis and Metastasis Pattern in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a recognized predictor of poor postoperative outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, only a few studies have evaluated lymphatic invasion (LI) and venous invasion (VI) separately across contemporary perioperative strategies.
