Our favoriate quote from the paper: "Because shifting from written to spoken quizzes requires only a minimal change in testing format [...], this approach may represent a small change in teaching but nevertheless yield big results in learning."

New paper out in TESOL Quarterly! Should we provide vocabulary lists before communication tasks? YES, pre-task vocabulary support enhances lexical learning—BUT it may reduce positive emotions during tasks.

【スライド全129枚公開】 LET全国大会 基調講演 「ISLA研究が変える外国語教育：理論と実践の新たな架け橋」 「SLA研究は現場の役に立たない」…本当でしょうか？ この「研究と実践のギャップ」に切り込み、協働のための3つの視点を提案しました。 実は120分用に【129枚】スライドを用意したのですが……時間を30分ほど読み間違え、当日は中盤をカットしました… ただ、その分30分も質疑応答ができ、ライブならではの対話ができて結果良かったかもしれません。 とはいえ、せっかく作ったので完全版を公開します！ 日々の授業と研究の対話のきっかけにぜひ。 そして学会プログラム最後の基調講演まで残って、熱心に聞いてくださった皆様、本当にありがとうございました！ ▼ダウンロードはこちら yuichisuzuki.net/2025/11/23/…

Published! Super proud of this collaboration with @Hwang_HB Shawn Loewen and Fred Poole! As usual, if anybody wants a copy of my chapters (the Introduction and Ch. 1), I'm happy to share PDFs! benjamins.com/catalog/lllt.6…

When should students practice vocabulary for a communicative task? Before or after? Our new neuroimaging study found that practicing BEFORE a task facilitates vocabulary learning memory, but practicing AFTER enhances brain-to-brain synchrony, suggesting deeper collaboration.
