Good News: Associate Professor Dong Li of the School of Foreign Languages Published an Article in a Top International Journal of Linguistics

Associate Professor Dong Li of the School of Foreign Languages has recently published a research article entitled “Intrinsic motivational regulation and writing performance in online second language learning classrooms: a time series analysis study” in Computer Assisted Language Learning, a top-tier international linguistics journal.

The study systematically investigates the developmental trajectories of students’ intrinsic motivational regulation and writing performance in online foreign language classrooms, as well as the dynamic relationship between them. The findings show that both constructs exhibit pronounced fluctuations over time. Vector autoregression (VAR) analyses reveal a long-term reciprocal relationship between intrinsic motivational regulation and writing performance, while impulse response analyses further indicate that this relationship tends to stabilize as it evolves dynamically. The results provide important theoretical references and practical implications for improving the quality of online foreign language teaching and writing pedagogy.
