Bednorz, David; Kleine, Michael – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
The study examines language dimensions of mathematical word problems and the classification of mathematical word problems according to these dimensions with unsupervised machine learning (ML) techniques. Previous research suggests that the language dimensions are important for mathematical word problems because it has an influence on the…

Doolan, Stephen M. – Written Communication, 2023
Source-based writing is a complex and frequently occurring task type in postsecondary education. While a large body of research now exists investigating source-based student writing, few studies have used corpus-based methods to investigate L1 student performance on source-based writing tasks and to connect this performance to the holistic quality…

Asaad, Hani Qasem Mohammed; Shabdin, Ahmad Affendi – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2021
Studies have found that morphology awareness could assist writers to increase productive vocabulary (e.g. Green et al., 2003; McCutchen & Stull, 2015), reduce vocabulary errors (e.g. Karakas, 2012; Ririn, 2010), and produce complex sentence structures using various forms of words. Postgraduate students as second language users of English (L2)…

Alhojailan, Ahmad I. – English Language Teaching, 2019
Since students are increasingly expected to use academic vocabulary while at university, this study was conducted to determine whether a statistical correlation existed between the use of academic vocabulary in assignments and the marks obtained by graduate students, using a purposive sample of graduate students (n = 11). The students were asked…

Lesnov, Roman Olegovich – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2018
This article compares second language test-takers' performance on an academic listening test in an audio-only mode versus an audio-video mode. A new method of classifying video-based visuals was developed and piloted, which used L2 expert opinions to place the video on a continuum from being content-deficient (not helpful for answering…
