Advancing Global Pedagogy: Fulbright Taiwan EMI Workshop at Arizona State University
From January 25 to February 7, 2026, Steve Ying-Chu Chen participated in the Fulbright Taiwan EMI Overseas Professional Training Workshop. Held at Arizona State University (ASU), this program provided an intensive look at English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) through the lens of translanguaging and educational equity. Steve explored how to effectively bridge complex scientific domains—such as exercise science and cognitive neuroscience—with bilingual instruction, fostering a classroom environment that is both academically rigorous and globally connected.

Acute effects of resistance exercise intensity and repetition at a predetermined volume on inhibitory control:a randomized controlled trial
This randomized controlled trial investigated the acute effects of resistance exercise (RE) intensity and repetition—under matched volume—on inhibitory control (IC). Seventy-eight young adults were assigned to moderate-intensity (60% 1RM, 3×10), low-intensity (30% 1RM, 3×20), or control (reading). Stroop Task performance revealed significantly better IC in both exercise groups (MI: p = .026; LI: p = .040) vs. control, with no difference between MI and LI. Blood lactate increased significantly post-exercise in both RE groups. Results indicate that RE enhances IC regardless of intensity when volume is controlled.
