Chinese English and Chinglish as a shared translanguaging space
Chinese English is recognised as, potentially, one of the most important developing varieties of English. This paper investigates the attitudes of 18 to 30+ years old English-speaking Chinese nationals towards Chinese English and Chinglish, and analysed a total of 277 questionnaires. Just under half of the respondents (45%) asserted that there are differences between Chinese English and Chinglish, with Chinese English associated with Chinese cult…
Language anxiety in EFL and ESL academic environments
Although past research has shown significant associations between language anxiety and different linguistic factors (i.e. language proficiency, self-perceived language competence, and frequency of language usage), so far, few studies have directly compared their interaction in foreign language vs second language speaking environments. This comparison is vital to understanding how local language experience, environment, and competence shape langua…
Factors associated with children’s understanding of mathematical equivalence
Many primary school students have difficulties understanding mathematical equivalence with \nconsiderably poorer performance in some countries than in others. However, students’ formal \nunderstanding of equivalence has significant and long-lasting effects as it predicts arithmetic and \nalgebra achievement throughout school years. Currently, little is known about the factors influencing\nstudents’ understanding of mathematical equivalence partic…

Morphosyntactic Processing in Late Second-Language Learners
The goal of the present study was to investigate the electrophysiological correlates of second-language (L2) morphosyntactic processing in highly proficient late learners of an L2 with long exposure to the L2 environment. ERPs were collected from 22 English–Spanish late learners while they read sentences in which morphosyntactic features of the L2 present or not present in the first language (number and gender agreement, respectively) were manipu…
