Students’ Perspectives and Attitudes Toward EMI and Translanguaging: A Cross‐Country Comparative Study of China and Spain
English‐medium instruction (EMI) is expanding worldwide, with China and Spain playing an increasingly active role in its implementation. While EMI promotes internationalization and academic development, few studies compare contexts across countries. Drawing on interview data, this qualitative study examines students’ attitudes toward EMI and translanguaging in China and Spain. Findings reveal generally positive views of EMI, though Chinese studen…
Individual differences in English-medium education: Comparing multilingual identity, beliefs, motivations and perspectives in EME in Spanish and Chinese undergraduates
The rise of English as an international language has led to the widespread implementation of English-medium education (EME) programs in higher education institutions around the world. Due to the relationship between EME and access to opportunities, knowledge and valuable capital it is unclear if the practice enables or hinders diversity, inclusion and equity. This study examines the beliefs, motivations and perceptions of 107 Spanish and Chinese …
Resilience mediates the prediction of alienation towards parents on subjective well-being in rural left-behind children: A 12-month longitudinal study
This study is among the first to reveal that alienation towards parents predicts the developmental trajectory of later LBC's subjective well-being, with resilience as a mediator. These findings warrant the necessity of paying attention to alienation toward parents to ensure the mental health of LBC, giving valuable guidance to parents, schools and governments

Life-Events Mediate the Prediction of Parental Alienation on Depression in Rural Left-Behind Children: A Longitudinal Study
This study is among the first to reveal that alienation toward parents predicts the developmental trajectory of later depression in LBC. The findings that life-events mediate the prediction of alienation on later depression further suggest the importance of family and social factors in the occurrence of depression in LBC. The findings warrant the necessity to consider the family and social factors when evaluating and reducing risks for mental hea…
Discipline-specific language learning outcomes in EMI programs in the People’s Republic of China
English-Medium Instruction (EMI) practices in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are still emerging and in need of further empirical investigation, in comparison to European countries. Existing research in the Asian context is mainly based on students’ and teachers’ perceptions and policy-related concerns. There is a remarkable lack of studies assessing students’ language and content learning outcomes through objective tests. This study specifi…
Negative Emotions in Chinese Frontline Medical Staff During the Early Stage of the Covid-19 Epidemic: Status, Trend, and Influential Pathways Based on a National Investigation
Objective: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared as a major public health emergency, has had profound effects on public mental health especially emotional status. Due to professional requirements, medical staff are at a higher risk of infection, which might induce stronger negative emotions. This study aims to reveal the emotional status of Chinese frontline medical staff in the early epidemic period to better maintain the…
Biodiversity and Spatial-Temporal Dynamics of Margalefidinium Species in Jiaozhou Bay, China
Many Margalefidinium species are cosmopolitan harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that have caused huge economic and ecological damage. Despite extensive research on Margalefidinium species, the biodiversity and spatial-temporal dynamics of these species remain obscure. Jiaozhou Bay is an ideal area for HAB research, being one of the earliest marine survey areas in China. In this study, we carried out the first metabarcoding study on the temporal a…
Students’ attitudes and perceptions towards three EMI courses in mainland China
HEIs (Higher education institutions) in mainland China are making enormous efforts to implement internationalization. As a result, EMI (English-medium instruction) courses are growing rapidly in number and popularity while relevant research is still insufficient in comparison to European countries. Besides, although much existing research has explored students’ beliefs and attitudes towards EMI, little is known on whether their beliefs and attitu…
