Bakirci, Derya; Özbay, Ali Sükrü – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2020
Gratitude strategies used by EFL speakers have always been the focus of interest by researchers who observed the presence of pragmatic transfer strategies by which speakers express their gratitude.

Karakoc, Aynur Ismayilli – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2019
Different theoretical and empirical taxonomies of reading and listening comprehension (RC, LC) are available in the literature.

However, these…

Çakmak, Zeynep; Yangin Ersanli, Ceylan – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021

Kusseling, Françoise; Lonsdale, Deryle – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2013
The French CEFR vocabulary profiles as presented in the "Référentiels"--while a valuable resource for a wide range of applications focused on lexical content--result from introspection, intuition-based judgements, and unquantifiable experience. The result is a specification of vocabulary that has been largely untested from a…

Bjorge, Anne Kari – Applied Linguistics, 2012
English spoken by those who do not share their first language is increasingly referred to as English lingua franca (ELF).

This is recognized by writers of business English textbooks, who provide…
