Although used frequently in both speech and writing, DMs are not often taught in L2 classrooms, despite incorrect usage causing potential misunderstandings (Polat, 2011). Additionally, L2 learners have been observed…

István Jánk – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Teachers' language attitudes play a key role in their decision-making, evaluation, and behaviour in the classroom.
