Taking notes with different writing devices influences learning processes but not performance
Notetaking with digital devices during asynchronous online learning remains controversial. This study investigated how three writing devices—ink pens, digital pens, and laptops—interact with active (verbatim) vs. constructive (question) notetaking strategies during video lectures. During a within-design laboratory experiment, EEG data was recorded while 33 undergraduate students took notes for learning sessions using different notetaking devices …
A quantitative characterisation of English in K-Pop through the Korean Wave 2000–2020
This paper provides an, empirical account of changes in the prevalence of English in K-Pop lyrics from 2000 to 2020. It contrasts with earlier, smaller-scale investigations by leveraging computational techniques and a bespoke corpus of over 2000 songs. We find the prevalence of English, i.e, raw number of English tokens, proportion of English tokens relative to Korean tokens, and proportion of songs including English tokens, has risen over the su…
Fandom Language Learning
By bringing together research on fandom and language learning, with a special focus on the Korean Wave, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of fandom culture and digital learning on language learning, while also examining how positive emotions such as joy can support language learning.The proliferation of Korean popular culture since the start of the new millennium has sparked huge interest in Korean language learning, parti…
The role of informal digital learning of Korean in KFL students’ willingness to communicate
This mixed-methods study examines how Informal Digital Learning of Korean (IDL-K) affects willingness to communicate in a second language (L2 WTC). Data were collected from 221 Korean as a Foreign Language (KFL) students (21 nationalities; mean age = 21.8 years). The quantitative analysis revealed that students who engaged in more receptive IDL-K than others reported greater L2 WTC in class, which yielded greater L2 WTC outside of class. However,…
Translingual English words of Korean origin and beyond
This study offers an overview of contemporary translingual English words derived from Korean and examines their unique characteristics. Previous research has highlighted that translingual words transcend borders (Kiaer, 2019), can emerge accidentally and swiftly propagate through online platforms, and exhibit various spelling variations (Ahn, 2021). By analyzing data from online databases like the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and Google Trends…
Does the attractiveness of K‐culture shape the enjoyment of foreign language learners of Korean
Attraction to the target culture can be a reason to study the language, especially in the case of languages other than English (LOTEs). Recently, the number of Korean language learners has surged alongside the growing popularity of Korean pop culture (K‐pop). However, it is unknown whether the initial attraction to the culture and the first steps in that direction shape foreign language (FL) emotions in the longer term. To fill this gap, this mix…
Translingual journey of English words and methodological suggestions
The English language freely borrows words from many languages; this is a process which has been well documented by several studies, particularly in the field of contact linguistics. However, an investigation into the massive influence that the widespread, popular, and global use of the Internet has had on the development of language calls for consistent and frequent empirical enquiry. The rapid growth in the number and diversity of Internet users…
The Language of Hallyu
The Language of Hallyu will re-examine the language of the Korean Wave by looking at popular K-content. In doing so, it will expose the meanings that get lost in translation, hidden under subtitles. Over the past decade, hallyu (the Korean wave) has exploded in popularity around the globe. K-films, K-drama, and K-pop were once small subcultures, known mostly by Korea’s East and Southeast Asian neighbours and Korean diaspora. Now, K-content has en…
Tomorrow? Jayaji ! (자야지)
Translanguaging refers to the dynamic meaning-making process whereby multilingual language users make full use of their communicative repertoires by crossing the boundaries between named languages and other semiotic and modal resources ( García and Li 2014 ). Director Bong Joon-ho is well-known for utilising such border-crossing practices in his films, specifically, for his strategic and creative use of multiple languages and translation. He also…
The role of prosodic and visual information in disambiguating wh-indeterminates
In Korean language, questions containing ambiguous wh-words may be interpreted as either wh-questions or yes-no questions. This study investigated 43 Korean three-year-olds’ ability to disambiguate eight indeterminate questions using prosodic and visual cues. The intonation of each question provided a cue as to whether it should be interpreted as a wh-question or a yes-no question. The questions were presented alongside picture stimuli, which act…
Ideologies in Second Language Learning
This paper explores how textbooks for second language learners make ideologically motivated decisions regarding which forms of the target language are included in the curriculum. We explore this question via an analysis of Korean language textbooks, at a time when Korean society is becoming increasingly globalized and multicultural. The focus is on the representation of the highly developed system of address terms in Korean. Although address term…

‘Social media is their space’
Social media is seen as a powerful driver of change for language teaching and learning. Many studies have looked at the use and adoption rates of social media in language education, but studies that take a more fine-grained understanding of the differences between individual features of social media and how they are perceived by learners and teachers are rare. We present an analysis of the results of two workshops in a UK university that illustra…
Chinese, Japanese and Korean-inspired Culinary Words in the English Language
This paper discusses how Chinese and Japanese-inspired culinary terms have become part of the English language of food. It investigates the path of culinary terms into popular usage using Google Ngram, and Google Trends. It also takes an in-depth look at social media to discover the impact such technology has on the adoption of Asian culinary terms and further investigates this phenomenon by conducting a survey of 297 L1 and L2 English speakers, …
Pop culture words
The English language is a global lingua franca that has itself been experiencing rapid change. This change can be attributed mainly to easy access to the internet worldwide and the popular use of social media. Frequent and common online communication amongst multilingual speakers mediated in English has naturally generated a diverse semiotic repertoire. As a result, new words are constantly and rapidly evolving on online platforms across language…
Multilingual “Native” Speakers of the English Language
This study investigates what characteristics are considered important for a hypothetical multilingual person to be perceived as a “native” speaker of English. The data was collected from 521 participants from the United Kingdom, Singapore and South Korea, responding to a survey comprised of 30 questions with opportunities for qualitative comments. Several empirical statistical methods of analysis were employed to compare the data of three groups.…

Growing East Asian words in English
With the change of linguistic, cultural and ethnic landscapes, multilingual, multicultural and multi-ethnic realities are increasing globally. In the case of the UK, the 2011 Census showed that the Asian or Asian British ethnic group category had one of the largest increases since 2001, with a third of the foreign-born population of the UK (2.4 million) now identifying as Asian British (Office for National Statistics, 2013). It is not surprising …
Delicious Words
As societies across the globe are becoming increasingly interwoven at an unprecedented speed and across an impressive scope, so too is the world of food, allowing the English language to develop an ever-widening culinary vocabulary. This book examines the lives of such words in today's discourse on eating and drinking, focusing on foreign - particularly East Asian - influences on culinary terms in English, and how words are born and evolve in a m…
Mothers' Educational Beliefs and Preschoolers' English Learning Attitudes
This article analyzes the relationship between Korean mothers' beliefs about early childhood English education and preschoolers' attitudes toward English learning. English experiences in the home were also projected to be significantly related to the aforementioned factors. Participants consisted of 159 mother-child pairs in South Korea. This study yielded three main results. First, correlations were found between the mothers' education level and…

Hybrid English words in Korean and Japanese
This article discusses English-origin words used in Japan and Korea, which are either imported from English or coined in Japanese/Korean. Many imported English words develop different meanings in Korean/Japanese, while coined words have unique meanings within those languages. Although English-origin words are called loanwords, the diversity of genesis requires a new terminology to better describe their nature: (i) first-generation English words; …
Multiple long-distance scrambling
This paper argues that, with syntax defined as progressive projection of semantic representations along the left-to-right dimension provided by the sequence of words (Cann, Kempson & Marten 2005), explanations for local and (multiple) nonlocal scrambling of NPs in Japanese and Korean follow from general principles of tree growth, allowing differences between the languages while nevertheless retaining an integrated account of scrambling itself. Th…
Topic and focus at the peripheries
In this paper topic and focus effects at both left and right periphery are argued to be epiphenomena of general properties of tree growth. We incorporate Korean into this account as a prototypical verb-final language, and show how long- and short-distance scrambling form part of this general picture. Multiple long-distance scrambling effects emerge as a consequence of the feeding relationship between different forms of structural under-specificat…
