Yingzhao Chen
Yingzhao Chen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Second Language Studies program at Michigan State University. Her dissertation explores how hyperlinked glosses (i.e., short definitions of words) written in learners’ first or second languages influence vocabulary learning from reading. For her doctoral research, she tracks the amount of time learners spend on each gloss and measures learning gains in terms of learners’ speed and accuracy in recognizing and recalling the newly learned words.
