Monnier, Catherine; Boiché, Julie; Armandon, Pauline; Baudoin, Sophie; Bellocchi, Stéphanie – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Due to their experience of managing two languages, it has been suggested that bilinguals could receive more practice in the domain of working memory (WM) leading to a WM bilingual advantage. Although some studies have shown that bilinguals can outperform monolinguals in WM tasks, the studies investigating WM capacity in bilinguals provide…

Xueqing Wu; Rui Li – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
While numerous studies of robot-assisted language learning (RALL) for English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learners' language skill development have been done, a comprehensive and theoretically-driven meta-analysis on its effects is still in paucity. To fill the gap, drawing on Activity Theory (AT), this study reported a meta-analysis from 47…
