The interplay of grit, enjoyment, and self-efficacy among Indonesian pre-service EFL teachers: an SEM analysis

Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education
Pre-service EFL (henceforth, L2) teacher training often involves significant emotional and motivational challenges. The present study investigates the relationship between pre-service EFL teachers’ (1) grit to become L2 teachers (PET-Grit), (2) L2 ...

The impact of task-based instruction on learners’ reading comprehension, L2 grit, anxiety, and motivation for L2 reading

Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2023
AbstractTask-based instruction (TBI) is a pedagogical approach that centers on engaging learners in meaningful and communicative tasks to promote language acquisition, active participation, and practical language use. The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the influence of TBI on reading comprehension, motivation for L2 reading ...

Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...

Demystifying the Relationship Between Students’ L2 Grit and L2 Hope

Journal of Psychological Perspective
Given the affective turn in the second-language (L2) research and the vital roles of L2 grit and L2 hope in learners’ academic achievement, this quantitative study aimed to explore Chinese senior high students’ L2 grit and L2 hope and examine whether there were possible correlations among the two variables and their components.

Cation‐π Interaction‐Based Biointerface for Low‐Cost PD‐1 Detection Toward NSCLC Immunotherapy Monitoring

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A cation‐π interaction‐based biointerface is engineered on a CNT‐FET for label‐free detection of PD‐1. PD‐1 monoclonal antibodies are orientedly immobilized via cation‐π interactions between PCz‐wrapped semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes and the Fc region of the monoclonal antibody.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Grit and L2 grit research in SLA (2013–2025)

Studies in Second Language Acquisition
AbstractThis scoping review aims to offer a panoptic overview of the research on grit and L2 grit in second and foreign language learning. To this end, a “hybrid search strategy” (Wohlin et al., 2022) was implemented. Out of 1,111 records identified across 15 databases and 78 found applying the backward/forward snowballing technique, 233 empirical ...

Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...
