Summary: This study qualitatively explores how studying abroad in an English as a lingua franca context promotes student-sojourners' intercultural awareness. The study found that the use of the common language contributed to the conceptualization of studying abroad as a community of practice, and the participants developed a supranational identity and maintained long-term intercultural awareness.

Summary: Using intergroup contact and stigma management communication theories, this study examines the impact of cultural teaching and learning in Spanish language classes on cultural stigma, social distance, and ethnocentrism. The results indicate that integrating culture in foreign language education is associated with increased cultural knowledge and indirectly reduces cultural stigma and social distance towards individuals from foreign cultures.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of distance-invoked difficulty, proficiency level, and cross-linguistic similarity on error occurrences in English compositions by Chinese and Japanese learners. The results show that low- and middle-level learners have higher error rates in long-distance dependency relations, but high-level learners can overcome the difficulty and make fewer errors. Chinese and Japanese learners make more errors in long-distance adverbial and relative clauses than in short-distance ones, while they make fewer errors in L1-similar long-distance subject-predicate dependency relations. Japanese learners, however, show no significant differences in error rates in long- and short-distance predicate-object dependency relations. The study reveals the complex interaction between learners' cognition, proficiency, and L1.

Summary: Research on lag effects in second language collocation learning is limited. This study examined the relationship between intersession intervals (ISIs) and retention intervals (RIs) in relation to incidental acquisition of collocations. The results showed that both a 3.5-day ISI and a 7-day ISI were equally effective for the incidental acquisition of collocations.

Summary: This paper introduces a new perspective for analyzing insincerity in courtrooms, specifically focusing on questions asked by lawyers in the Malawi criminal justice system. The study examines the linguistic tools used by lawyers to trace insincerity and investigates the varying degrees of insincerity exhibited by defence and prosecution lawyers, as well as their reasoning behind such choices. The findings suggest that there is a higher likelihood of insincerity in courtroom settings, which can be observed in the questions asked by lawyers. Furthermore, the study highlights the differences in language use between prosecutors and defence lawyers, with the latter displaying higher levels of insincerity. These findings have significant jurisprudential implications, particularly in Africa where research on language and law is understudied.

Summary: This study examines the representation of ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged families in research based on a survey of multilingual families during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results show that the large proportion of respondents from Bradford affected the representativeness of the sample and the patterns of responses. Families who were more engaged with their heritage language showed more positive attitudes towards multilingualism and had more marked changes in language practices during the lockdown. The study argues that the exceptional engagement of Bradford communities in research led to better representativity of family profiles in the national survey.

Summary: This study compares remote recordings taken via smartphone and web-based recording through Gorilla with traditional laboratory recordings. It finds that remote offline recording can accurately replicate studies of English vowel reduction, but researchers should be aware of specific distortions that may occur with each method.

Summary: This study compares the effectiveness of AI-generated definitions to those from the Macmillan English Dictionary (MED) in resolving vocabulary doubts. The results show that students provided with MED definitions performed better on the reading task. However, there was no significant difference between the performance of students with MED definitions or AI-definitions.

Summary: This paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing the politics of machine translation, emphasizing that the distinction between human and machine translation needs to be investigated empirically. The paper demonstrates the analytical fruitfulness of such an approach and the multidimensionality of the politics of machine translation through a series of examples.

Summary: This paper proposes a compositional semantic analysis for approximative kaada in Classical Arabic, which is a clause-level operator. The analysis is based on Penka's integrated semantics framework and incorporates the concept of semantic closeness to interpret the negativity component of kaada. Additionally, the paper explores a puzzle where negated kaada loses its negativity implication in certain contexts, and offers a solution based on a previous suggestion of embedded exhaustification.

Summary: The use of dictionaries is considered important in L2 learning, and learners should be encouraged to use them independently. This study investigates the relationship between L2 learning motivation, willingness to pay for dictionaries, reading dictionaries' usage guides, and willingness to use dictionaries. The results show that learning motivation has an impact on attitudes towards dictionary use.
