点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
