Cumulative Testing for Learning Spoken Vocabulary
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Cumulative testing is known to improve vocabulary learning by integrating both new and previously introduced words in weekly quizzes. While evidence for its benefits is promising, prior research has primarily focused on the written mode of vocabulary, with target words studied, practiced, and tested in the visual mode only.

Comprehension of implied meaning in Chinese second language listening
Foreign Language Annals, EarlyView.Abstract Listening comprehension is crucial for second language (L2) communication and acquisition. However, it has received less attention than reading, given the transient nature of speech signals and the intangible cognitive processes involved in it.

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐regulated learning (SRL) as a key predictor of language learning has been widely studied, but few studies have examined it from a cross‐linguistic perspective. The present study investigated whether first language (L1) SRL strategy use transfers to second language (L2) SRL strategy use and the conditions under which this transfer occurs ...

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.
