Our favoriate quote from the paper:
"Because shifting from written to spoken quizzes requires only a minimal change in testing format [...], this approach may represent a small change in teaching but nevertheless yield big results in learning."
New paper out in TESOL Quarterly!
Should we provide vocabulary lists before communication tasks?
YES, pre-task vocabulary support enhances lexical learning—BUT it may reduce positive emotions during tasks.

When should students practice vocabulary for a communicative task? Before or after?
Our new neuroimaging study found that practicing BEFORE a task facilitates vocabulary learning memory, but practicing AFTER enhances brain-to-brain synchrony, suggesting deeper collaboration.
