Task repetition and orientation in L2 oral narratives
This study examined how task repetition (performing the same task across multiple occasions) and task orientation (directed attention to linguistic form vs. message content) shape L2 learners’ oral narrative performance. Learners’ output was evaluated using the communication, content, and function (CCF) framework, which captures how speakers structure information, express meanings, and organize discourse. Chinese undergraduate learners were rando…
Job satisfaction and organisational determinants among medical nursing assistants under hospital-based care reforms
Aim Population ageing and increasing care demands have led to a growing reliance on nursing support personnel in hospital care systems. This study aimed to examine the working conditions, sources of stress, and job satisfaction of medical nursing assistants (MNAs), defined as non-registered nursing support personnel providing basic care and daily living assistance under the supervision of registered nurses, in China, and to identify organisationa…
Overexplicit Second Language Reference
In research on referring expressions (REs), multiple explanations have been proposed for second language (L2) overexplicitness—the phenomenon of intermediate‐to‐advanced learners producing fuller REs than pragmatically required. However, these explanations have rarely been empirically tested. This study examined the cognitive load hypothesis and its interaction with the error avoidance and clarity hypotheses using a mixed‐model quasi‐experimental…
Introducing/Testing New SFL-Inspired Communication/Content/Function-Focused Measures for Assessing L2 Narrative Task Performance
In response to calls for an assessment tool that provides a separate performance dimension from the linguistic quality-oriented measures of complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) and guided by systemic functional linguistic (SFL) theories, this study introduces a set of fine-grained objective measures of communication/content/function (CCF)-related performance in second language (L2) narratives and empirically tests the validity of these measure…
Associations of infectious disease-specific, electronic, and general health literacy among high school students with prevalent health challenges
The interplay of infection-specific (IDSHL), electronic (eHL), and general health literacy (HL) in shaping adolescent health disparities during recurrent infections remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study mainly evaluated the levels and associations of IDSHL, eHL and HL among 10th–11th graders ( n = 272) using validated instruments (IDSHLS, eHEALS, HLS-SF12) via anonymous questionnaires. Results revealed that 89.7% of participants repor…
Urban Land Subsidence Analyzed Through Time-Series InSAR Coupled with Refined Risk Modeling
Due to extensive soft soil and high human activities, Wuhan is a hotspot for land subsidence. This study used the time-series InSAR to calculate the spatial and temporal distribution map of subsidence in Wuhan and analyze the causes of subsidence. An improved fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (GD-FAHP) was proposed and integrated with the Entropy Weight Method (EWM) to assess the hazard and vulnerability of land subsidence using multiple evaluatio…
Creativity, Structure, and Expression in Creative Writing
This study investigates how disciplinary training in music and sports influences creative writing skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The study draws on three frameworks, the Theory of Creative Cognition, Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory, and Amabile’s Componential Model of Creativity. Together, these highlight the roles of divergent thinking, goal-oriented problem solving, and domain-specific intelligences in shapin…

A quasi‐experiment was conducted involving three intact classes with a total of 133 second‐year college students randomly assigned to one of the three instructional treatments. Learners’ learning of verb‐noun collocations was asse…
Creativity, Topic Familiarity, and L2 Performance in Story Continuation Writing Tasks
An increasing number of studies have integrated creativity into second language (L2) speech/writing and task‐based language teaching frameworks, investigating its associations with L2 task performance and, in some cases, the moderating influence of task characteristics. Against this backdrop, the present study examines the role of creativity in L2 performance of story continuation writing tasks (SCWTs) that differ in topic familiarity while contr…
Relationship between learner creativity, task planning, and speaking performance in L2 narrative tasks
This study examined the relationship between learners’ creativity viewed as a divergent thinking cognitive trait and the language/content dimensions of their L2 speaking performance under two task planning conditions, while controlling for the effects of L2 proficiency. Sixty-one Chinese learners of English took an Elicited Imitation Task, a verbal and a figural creativity test, and performed two picture-prompted narrative tasks. Results showed t…
The effectiveness of cognitive linguistics‐inspired language pedagogies
This systematic review synthesizes the literature (involving 62 empirical studies) regarding the effectiveness of cognitive linguistics‐inspired language pedagogies (CL‐ILPs) on second language (L2) learning. It begins with an overview of the main theoretical tenets of cognitive linguistics followed by a description of the data selection, coding, and analysis. Then, besides noting a sharp increase of research on CL‐ILPs in the past 20 years, the …
Cognitive linguistics-inspired language instruction
Second language acquisition (SLA) or second/foreign language teaching has been influenced to various degrees by key linguistic theories, including structural linguistics (Bloomfield, 1933; Saussure, 1959), generative linguistics (Chomsky, 1957, 1965), systemic functional linguistics (Halliday, 1973), and, more recently, contemporary Cognitive Linguistics (CL; Goldberg, 1995; Lakoff, 1987, 1993; Langacker, 1987, 1991; Talmy, 1988, 2000), a theory …
Neither Eastern nor Western
The Chinese Christian church was accused of colluding with Western imperialism, and this led to the anti-Christian movement. The Chinese church responded by accelerating a movement of church independence. Discussions of this movement have often been incorporated into a discourse of aggression and resistance between East and West. Such discussions obscure the differences between individuals and the plurality of thought in the Chinese church. Based…
When concept-based language instruction meets cognitive linguistics
The study investigates the efficacy of instructional practices informed by an integration of cognitive linguistics (CL) and concept-based language instruction (C-BLI) on EFL learners’ learning of polysemous English phrasal verbs. Such efficacy is also compared with that of a traditional instruction in which meanings of phrasal verbs are considered as unanalyzable and arbitrary and acquired through rote-learning. In an 8-week quasi-experiment with…
