Hi! My name is Yingzhao Chen. I am an applied linguist, teacher, and ... animal lover 😊

I received my PhD in Second Language Studies at Michigan State University in 2023. I am currently a Lecturer in the Center for English Language Communication at the National University of Singapore. 

My primary research interest is technology in second language (L2) teaching and learning. I have investigated the use of multimedia and interactive glosses in vocabulary learning. I am currently conducting projects on Generative AI, including how L2 learners perceive and use AI, and using AI to provide quality feedback on L2 writing. 

I am also interested in bilingual lexical processing and cross-linguistic influence.

My research combines my expertise in the above three areas. I base my research on theories from cognitive science and psycholinguistics, and use processing measures (e.g., reaction time and eye tracking) in assessing learning outcomes.
