Yuxin (Cindy) Ge, researcher specializing in second language (L2) phonology, obtained a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) for the development of the project “SPeLL2 – Synchronizing Perceptual and Lexical Abilities in Second Language Acquisition” under the supervision of Susana Correia.

The project aims to investigate the divergence between perceptual and lexical abilities in adults’ non-native speech learning. The findings will significantly contribute to discussions on how to effectively develop linguistic representations across the lifespan and will have practical implications for tailoring L2 teaching and learning based on learners’ cognitive abilities.
