1 Participants for AI and Second Language Acquisition Research
My name is Zhuofei, and you can call me Sophie.
I’m a PhD student in psychology at Queen’s. My first study focuses on the impact of AI on Second Language Acquisition. I’m currently looking for international students who are Non-English Speaker from any countries.
As an international student, have you ever used AI in your language use?
My answer is: I have — and quite a lot, to be honest!
As non-native English speakers, it’s perfectly normal for us to experience a bit of language anxiety when using English in UK classrooms. Imagine that moment when you want to speak up, but your brain decides to play hide-and-seek with vocabulary. Yep, been there.
Now here are the big questions:
- Does using AI to help with language actually reduce that anxiety?
- Does it make you more motivated to learn? Or more confident to speak up in class? Or… does it sometimes make things worse?
That’s what I’d love to find out — with your help! Let’s explore together how AI is really shaping our language learning journeys as international students. Who knows — you might discover you’re not the only one secretly best friends with ChatGPT!
If you are interested in taking part, please scan the QR code in the poster😊
There will also be a Focus Group on the same topic later. if you wish to participate, please send me an email. Thank you very much and looking forward to having a chat with you in what promises to be a very interesting discussion 👍
2 《中国之桥》项目
贝尔法斯特女王大学、 北爱国家博物馆（NMNI）和我们华人福利会合作共同运营的「中国之桥」 项目已经开启。
项目背景：北爱尔兰国家博物馆（NMNI）现藏有70件中国文物，但相关历史资料匮乏，且公众接触机会有限。本合作项目由女王大学研究人员（历史学、博物馆人类学）、NMNI及华人福利协会共同发起，旨在重塑公众对这些文物的认知。在项目团队支持下，当地华人社群将参与研究、分享专业见解，并通过创意形式回应这些文物，最终生成新的文献记录和社区反馈，汇集成一份公开发表的数字成果。项目还将促进社区合作，进一步探索北爱尔兰与中国之间的历史联系。
这个项目非常有意义，请有意参加这个项目的朋友填写以下意向书。
谢谢大家的支持。
