A computational model of TE-dominant noticing, repetition, prior knowledge and grammatical knowledge acquisition (2022)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Qi, X., Liu, R., Wang, L., & Sun, B. (2022). A computational model of TE-dominant noticing, repetition, prior knowledge and grammatical knowledge acquisition. Reading and Writing, 35(8), 1953-1974. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11145-022-10275-5

Computer-assisted textual enhancement (CATE) technology has been widely used to improve English as foreign language (EFL) learners’ syntactical and grammatical learning. Visual attention, repetition, and prior knowledge are known as the vital factors...

A reading model of young EFL learners regarding attention, cognitive-load and auditory-assistance (2022)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Qi, X., Wang, L., Sun, B., & Zheng, M. (2022). A reading model of young EFL learners regarding attention, cognitive-load and auditory-assistance. The Journal of Educational Research, 115(1), 51-63. https://doi.org/10.1080/00220671.2022.2027327

Audio-assisted reading (reading-while-listening) was commonly used as a pedagogical method in English (L2) learning. Numerous studies had reported its efficacy in English (L2) reading. Its efficacy in reading comprehension has been inconclusive due t... Read More about A reading model of young EFL learners regarding attention, cognitive-load and auditory-assistance.

Exploring early childhood in China: background, development and current issues (2019)
Journal Article
Qi, X. (2019). Exploring early childhood in China: background, development and current issues

China has put great efforts into developing early childhood education and care services. Since 2010 the policy priority has been to develop early childhood education services for 3–6-year-old children before school entry. Evidence of the rapid develo...

Using an ANN-based computational model to simulate and evaluate Chinese students’ individualized cognitive abilities important in their English acquisition (2019)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Thomas, M., Qi, X., & Liu, X. (2019). Using an ANN-based computational model to simulate and evaluate Chinese students’ individualized cognitive abilities important in their English acquisition. Computer Assisted Language Learning, 32(4), 366-397. https://doi.org/10.1080/09588221.2018.1517125

From a psycholinguistic perspective of view, there are many cognitive differences that matter to individuals’ second language acquisition (SLA). Although many computer-assisted tools have been developed to capture and narrow the differences among lea...
