Brian Strong Receives Early Career Research Award

“The aim of my project is to determine how different feedback strategies affect second language (L2) vocabulary retention when learners make errors while guessing the meanings of unfamiliar words. Specifically, the project seeks to clarify whether certain types of feedback—particularly those that require learners to recall their incorrect guesses—can enhance memory and support more effective learning. By identifying which feedback conditions best promote long-term retention, the study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for vocabulary instruction and advance theoretical understanding in second language acquisition and cognitive psychology.”
