This study investigates whether morphological awareness—the ability to understand word structure—can improve literacy in both English and Chinese among bilingual children. Through an eight-week training program, Chinese-English bilingual children learn word-building patterns. The research explores whether morphological awareness can serve as a bridge connecting literacy development across both languages.

This research examines how multilingual college students use AI writing tools and whether these tools support or hinder learning. The findings suggest that learning outcomes depend on how AI is used. When employed as a scaffold for feedback and reflection rather than a shortcut, AI can enhance writing development and critical thinking.

This research develops context-aware AI integrated with extended reality glasses, enabling systems to perceive and interact within real-world environments. Applications include language learning and memory support. Findings show such AI fosters more natural, collaborative interactions, enhancing human perception, memory, and decision-making beyond traditional screen-based interfaces.

This research examines sound symbolism—the idea that certain sounds inherently convey meaning. Through cross-linguistic analysis of animal names, it investigates how phonetic features relate to perceived traits like size or danger. Findings could improve language learning, branding, and understanding of how human language evolved beyond arbitrary sound-meaning relationships.

This research investigates how explicit morphology instruction improves literacy by helping readers infer word meanings. Through teacher professional learning and classroom interventions, the study shows gains in teacher confidence and student literacy, especially for learners with dyslexia, highlighting morphology as a powerful, equitable reading strategy.

Learning a new language, even later in life, can boost attention within a single week and support long-term cognitive resilience. Intensive language learners outperform peers in non-language courses, with benefits spanning ages 18–78. Practising five hours weekly maintains gains, offering a promising, accessible strategy for stroke recovery and dementia delay.
