In today's Tea for Teaching podcast, @stevencpan.bsky.social and Judith Schweppe join us to discuss their recent study that finds that AI-generated prequestions are as effective in increasing learning as are human-generated prequestions. teaforteaching.podbean.com/e/prequestio... @cyberthread

A nice graphic, courtesy of NUS News, on how guessing can improve second language vocabulary learning:

Pleased to share our new study on pretesting and language learning! Many language-learning apps ask learners to guess a word before revealing the answer. We tested the science behind this approach. Paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1... Overview: news.nus.edu.sg/study-confir...

NUS study confirms that guessing before learning improves memory in language learning

Learning a second language is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with millions of people turning to digital tools and mobile applications to pick up a new language at their own pace. But what ma...

What is an effective approach to practicing grammar in a second language? @stevencpan.bsky.social et al. (2025) found that alternating between tenses enhances verb conjugation, tense identification, and language recognition. Learn more about these benefits of interleaving 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.le...
