This paper reports on a qualitative study which investigated a group of student teachers' emotions in their second language (L2) learning experiences, with particular attention to the mediating role of language ideologies. The findings revealed that the participants reported both positive emotions (enjoyment and pride) and negative emotions…

This study aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' perceptions concerning both the benefits and limitations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of critical thinking. Utilizing a qualitative research design that focuses on case studies and employs semi-structured interviews, seven…

Decolonial theorists continue to argue for a de-linking from the uncontested onto-epistemic constructs of intercultural education pedagogy (IEP) in TESOL. In the Global South, intercultural education may remain largely amenable to Euro-Western culturalist/differentialist frameworks that often breed essentialism and ethnocentrism. This paper…

We propose a novel method for repurposing online course discussion posts to explore educators' language ideologies. Drawing on asynchronous discussion posts from a subset of 30 educators enrolled in an online, masters-level, sociolinguistics-for-educators course at a US Southwest university, we "smooth" posts into a dialogue resembling a…

This qualitative study explores how foreign non-native English speaking teachers (FNNESTs) perceive themselves as English educators and how they exert agency to be better perceived as professionals. Given the close relationship between teacher identity and its implications for educational outcomes, this study is based on Norton's (2008)…

Much has been written about teachers' beliefs, including their beliefs about reading. Due to its established impact on how it affects classroom practices, teachers' beliefs as a psychological construct is considered by some researchers as the most important in relation to teaching and teaching education. Thus, increasingly teachers of reading have…

Grounded in Vygotskian sociocultural theory, we propose a novel methodology for second language teacher cognition research called "dialogic restorying." We exemplify this methodological innovation by presenting a qualitative longitudinal project in which we prompted L2 teachers to revisit and restory what Veresov (2017) calls…

The increasing demands on faculty members and students to conduct research might result in domination in supervisor-student relations across cultural contexts. This study aimed to explore how students' research relationships with their supervisors are manifested within TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) postgraduate curriculum in Iran's…

Despite much research on how multilingual learners view the linguistic properties of language, how they perceive languages as cultural capital has been far less investigated. Drawing on the theories of social cognition, this study explores how multiple foreign language learners' impressions, as a lens to observe their multilingual awareness, are…

Research about the characteristics of effective teachers in general is abundantly available in the literature. However, there has been a dearth of linguistic studies conducted to examine the perception of students about the unique qualities of an effective English teacher in a foreign language context. This study examined the qualities of an…

Across the United States, school stakeholders are grappling with how best to serve the large and often marginalized student subgroup of emergent bilingual learners (EBLs), which includes preparing the wide array of teachers who work with EBLs. This mixed-method study probes one university's efforts to prepare teachers spanning settings from early…

Content analysis studies have become popular in Turkey. Different content analysis studies have been made on different aspects of English language teaching in Turkey, but they have not focused on the graduate research on English language assessment and evaluation in Turkey. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the graduate studies on…

To score an essay response, raters draw on previously trained skills and knowledge about the underlying rubric and score criterion. Cognitive processes such as remembering, forgetting, and skill decay likely influence rater performance. To investigate how forgetting influences scoring, we evaluated raters' scoring accuracy on TOEFL and GRE essays.…

Predicting student success in a data science degree program is a challenging task due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the diverse backgrounds of the students, and an incomplete understanding of the precise skills that are most critical to success. In this study, the applicant's future academic performance in a Master of Data Science…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of reading strategies being implemented in an urban school district in the Southeast. This study was framed on the SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) Model (Echevarria et al., 2017). SIOP is an instructional framework that has been used in K-12 schools since the 1980s. It is a…
