International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on English‐Medium‐Instruction (EMI) highlights inadequate support for students transitioning from L1‐medium‐instruction to EMI. To date, little research has focused on how L2 students’ adaptation to an EMI environment influences their L2 learning motivation (LLM).

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.

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In English medium instruction (EMI), students face cognitive and emotional demands in second language (L2) communication, which may hamper their motivation and willingness to communicate (WTC). Adopting a mixed‐methods design, this study explores how growth mindsets affected student motivation (e.g., ideal L2 self and ideal disciplinary self ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the robustness of the motivation–grit–achievement relationship in second language (L2) reading and listening, extending previous research conducted on writing and speaking. To address increasing concerns regarding the validity of the binary‐type ideal self scale, the motivation variable is redefined using a better‐validated

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 ...
