Prof. Barry Lee Reynolds实验室简介 https://alll.fed.um.edu.mo/
The Applied Linguistics, Language, and Literacy lab, ran under the supervision of Prof. Barry Lee Reynolds, is looking to recruit a PhD student to work on a research project requiring the collection of eye-tracking data. The student will work with the PI and other PhD and Master students to execute the project. The project has three main directions of inquiry: incidental vocabulary acquisition, contextual richness, and written corrective feedback. We will use experimental methods involving eye-tracking to analyze adult participants’ processing of targeted words and other AOI/ROI in connection with more traditional offline data collection methods to gain insights into the means leading to incidental vocabulary acquisition and second language writing improvements.
