Jing Lin serves as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), affiliated with the Network Institute. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics, cognitive development, and educational applications, with a focus on language acquisition in multilingual contexts. Her educational background includes a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Amsterdam (2015) for research on negative polarity items acquisition, and a Research Master in Linguistics from the same institution. She conducted postdoctoral research at Leiden University (2016-2019) focusing on semantics and first language acquisition. Lin's research centers on first and second language acquisition mechanisms, particularly developmental milestones, cognitive interactions in language learning, and multilingual education. She employs experimental and corpus methodologies with special emphasis on young children and newcomers to the Netherlands. Current work investigates how phonological working memory training affects Dutch language acquisition in 4-7 year old newcomers. Her publication trends reveal dual specialization: (1) Core linguistics focusing on syntactic-sematic interfaces in language acquisition, and (2) Applied social psychology examining economic inequality's impact on prosocial behavior in adolescent development. Both strands maintain strong methodological rigor with cross-linguistic and developmental perspectives. NWO Open Competitie XS Grant for cognitive foundation research in second language learning NT2 Teacher Certification (2021) As Principal Investigator of an active NWO-funded project, she leads research on phonological working memory interventions for young newcomers. Her teaching portfolio includes courses on First Language Acquisition, Psycholinguistics, and Foreign Language Teaching. She actively contributes to academic service through conference participation (e.g., Nordic Interdisciplinary Conference on Discourse and Interaction) and peer review for journals like Applied Psycholinguistics. Lin maintains strong community engagement through her NWO project, collaborating with NT2 schools and caregivers of newcomer children in the Netherlands.
