• Motivation, strategy, and English as a foreign language vocabulary learning: A structural equation modelling study (2016) · doi

  BACKGROUND: In spite of considerable advancements in our understanding of the different factors involved in achieving vocabulary-learning success, the overall pattern and interrelationships of critical factors involved in L2 vocabulary learning - particularly, the mechanisms through which learners regulate their motivation and learning strategies - remain unclear.

• Revisiting the Cognition Hypothesis: the impact of task complexity on L2 learner engagement in task performance in computer-mediated and face-to-face communication (2022) · doi

  While increasing task complexity and developing tasks according to the features of face-to-face and computer-mediated communication modes can optimise L2 production, few studies attend to how the two factors affect learner engagement in task performance–a crucial but under-explored concept contributing to academic achievement.

• Vocabulary learning strategies in extramural English gaming and their relationship with vocabulary knowledge (2024) · doi

  However, little is known about whether certain extramural activities have stronger links with vocabulary acquisition than others, and more crucially, the extent to which the vocabulary learning strategies that learners employ during extramural English encounters affect vocabulary learning outcomes.

• The Impact of Collocation Interventions on the Lexical Accuracy of Students’ Timed Writings (2023) · doi

  A collocation-driven approach to language acquisition has proved to be effective in enhancing students' understanding of target vocabulary, but recent research suggests that there is a gap in the literature on the impact of productive vocabulary interventions and student writing performance.
