A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.

Optimizing the Effectiveness of Captioned Viewing for Incidental Second Language Vocabulary Learning: The Effects of Repeated Viewing and Reading Fluency

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the effects of repeated viewing and reading fluency on incidental second language vocabulary acquisition through captioned video exposure. A total of 149 Japanese EFL learners watched a short animation with or without captions, varying in the number of repetitions (once, twice, or three times).

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.

Metalinguistic Awareness in the EFL Classroom and Beyond: Exploring the Potential of Translation Tasks

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Current trends encouraging a move away from monolingual teaching have sparked a renewed interest in the role of translation in language instruction. Yet, there are few theoretically and empirically grounded proposals regarding specific uses of translation in the language classroom.

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.
