Hwang, Yoon-Suk; Dillon-Wallace, Julie; Campbell, Marilyn; Ashburner, Jill; Saggers, Beth; Carrington, Suzanne; Hand, Kirstine – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2018
Students with ASC are at heightened risk for bullying and their understanding of bullying is known to protect them from involvement in it (Humphrey and Hebron 2015).

Garcia de Blakeley, Marta; Ford, Ruth; Casey, Leanne – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2017
Research into second language anxiety (SLA) has largely focused on second language learners rather than immigrants. However, living in an environment where the target language (TL) is the language of everyday communication may constitute a significant source of anxiety that generalises beyond the language classroom [Pappamihiel, N. E. 2001.…

A common line of past learning environment research has involved associations between the learning environment and student outcomes (i.e. the effects of learning environment).
