Promoting Task‐Based Pragmatics Instruction in EFL Classroom Contexts: The Role of Task Complexity
, 2015 Robinson's (2001) Cognition Hypothesis claims that more complex tasks promote interaction and language development. This study examined the effect of task complexity in the learning of request‐making expressions.

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as an alternative to human interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in a second language (L2). Thirty L2 English speakers completed a 6‐item roleplay task designed to elicit refusals of requests, invitations, and offers, interacting with both a ...

Effects of Learning Context and Program Length on L2 Skill Development
The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of learning context (study abroad versus at home) and program length (summer versus semester) on the development of four language skills among learners of Chinese as a second language (L2). A total of 725 L2 Chinese learners completed standardized proficiency tests before and after participating in their ...

A hierarchical Bayesian approach to robust parameter design. [PDF]
The goal of robust parameter design experiments is to identify significant location and dispersion factors that can be used to set the mean response at the target level and to decrease the sensitivity of the response to uncontrolled noise factors.
