  • Learner agency and assessment co-adaptation from a Complex Dynamic Systems Theory perspective

    Open Access•Qiaona Yu•ARTICLE•Language Teaching Research•2026

    Complex Dynamic Systems Theory has redefined second language development as co-adaptation between language users and context, but few studies have proactively manipulated the context to model and optimize such co-adaptation. The applied nature of the field calls for research to move beyond observation toward intentional, Complex Dynamic Systems Theory-informed intervention and the development of corresponding methodological frameworks. This study…

  • Language Proficiency, Second Language Educational Experience, and Psychological Well-being Among International Students at U.S. Universities

    Open Access•Qiaona Yu, Nelson C Brunsting et al.•ARTICLE•Research in Higher Education•2025

    Study abroad comes with challenges, yet it is not clear how language proficiency may longitudinally predict students’ social engagement and well-being. Recent changes in international student demographics, including age decreases and increased international school backgrounds, may also affect students’ well-being. This study views language as a culturally specific symbolic tool that serves cognitive, social, and emotional interactions, both inter…

  • An Organic Syntactic Complexity Measure for the Chinese Language: The TC-Unit

    Open Access•Qiaona Yu•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics•2021

    Language complexity reveals the ability to use a wide and varied range of sophisticated structures and vocabulary. Although different languages compose complexity differently, complexity measures such as the T-unit have typically been based on clause subordination, which may underrepresent complexity and threaten the validity of studies. This study argues that an organic complexity measure should avoid the assumption of clause subordination and i…
