Hi! I’m Stella, or Xuehong He in Chinese. I’m a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at Swansea University, UK. My research interests include Instructed Second Language Acquisition, Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition, and Second Language Psycholinguistics. I mainly adopt cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches (e.g., eye-tracking) to investigate instructional issues and individual differences, with special attention to vocabulary learning and teaching.
