The goal of this project is to investigate whether meditation can improve language learning in university settings. The third year was very fruitful as two high-impact peer-reviewed articles were published. Educators are increasingly implementing holistic approaches into the foreign language classroom, with one popular method being mindfulness. Mindfulness has been associated with better grades and well-being in higher education. However, no study has yet explored the language-specific relationship between mindfulness SLA. Therefore one of my articles investigated the relationship between mindfulness and the ability to learn new vocabulary. The findings indicate that mindfulness not only improves general academic performance, but also has a direct relationship with SLA. My research suggests that mindfulness training for students may be a novel approach to facilitate vocabulary learning.

这个项目的目的是调查冥想是否可以改善大学环境中的语言学习。第三年非常富有成果，发表了两篇影响力很大的同行评审文章。教育工作者越来越多地在外语课堂上实施整体方法，其中一种流行的方法是正念。正念与高等教育中更好的成绩和幸福感有关。然而，目前还没有研究探讨正念与二语习得之间的语言特异性关系。因此，我的一篇文章调查了正念和学习新词汇能力之间的关系。研究结果表明，正念不仅提高了一般的学习成绩，而且与第二语言习得有直接的关系。我的研究表明，对学生进行正念训练可能是促进词汇学习的一种新方法。
