The Cross‐Linguistic Transfer of Self‐Regulated Learning Strategy Use From L1 to L2: The Moderating Role of L2 Learning Motivation and Exposure

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1282-1292, May 2026.
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.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1807-1820, May 2026.
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.
