Prediger, Susanne; Neugebauer, Philipp – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
Supporting language in mathematics classrooms requires both curriculum material that follows language-responsive design principles and teaching practices that enact these principles with high instructional quality. This paper presents the analytic framework L-TRU, which was developed to assess language-responsive teaching practices quantitatively.…

Holschuh, Jodi Patrick – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2019
Over a century of research on postsecondary learning has documented that students often struggle with the academic literacy demands of college. Academic literacy tasks are the subset of all academic tasks that involve reading and writing and are rooted within larger cultural practices. These demands are challenging, complex, and varied, so…

Reynolds, Dan; Fisher, Whitney – Literacy, 2022
Adolescents face complex texts rich in academic language. Existing research has documented how teachers can design curriculum to scaffold students' comprehension of complex texts, but little work has documented the moments of adolescents' encounters with complex texts, and how teachers can scaffold these encounters on a moment-to-moment basis to…

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…

Benedict, Melisa Charles; Shabdin, Ahmad Affendi – PASAA: Journal of Language Teaching and Learning in Thailand, 2021
The central foundation of knowledge is through grasping what is being read. Therefore, it is significant to recognise the difficulty level of a reading text for better and comprehensive understanding. The present study is an attempt to identify the word frequency level and lexical coverage of the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) reading…

Yuliani, Tatin; Kurniawati, Nia; Siswayani, Predari – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2023
One crucial skill to master by university students related to academic writing activity is paraphrasing skill. However, in Indonesian context, the university students still find paraphrasing challenging. Therefore, this study is intended to explore the use of read, reread, list, compose (RRLC) strategy to enhace the students' paraphrasing skill in…

Hung Tan Ha; Duyen Thi Bich Nguyen; Tim Stoeckel – Language Testing, 2024
Word frequency has a long history of being considered the most important predictor of word difficulty and has served as a guideline for several aspects of second language vocabulary teaching, learning, and assessment. However, recent empirical research has challenged the supremacy of frequency as a predictor of word difficulty. Accordingly,…

Cook-Sather, Alison; Abbot, Sophia; Felten, Peter – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2019
In a classic 2010 article, Craig Nelson critiques his own previously held "dysfunctional illusions of rigor" that for years had constrained his teaching. He demonstrates that certain "rigorous" pedagogical practices disadvantage rather than support learners, and he argues for an expansion of what counts as legitimate…

Paola Uccelli – Written Communication, 2023
Analytical writing poses particularly challenging, yet often overlooked, language demands that need attention in educational research and practice. In this article, I discuss the Core Analytical Language Skills (CALS) construct and its relevance for school reading and writing. CALS refer to the set of learners' school-relevant language resources…

Aguilar-Pérez, Marta; Khan, Sarah – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
Purpose: Research on EMI (English-Medium Instruction) has addressed the extent to which content lecturers speaking in their L1 perform as well as when they lecture in English. In this study a lecturer who gave the same lecture in his L1 (Catalan) and English was observed to examine if and how transitioning from one language to another impacts his…

Shure, Victoria; Rösken-Winter, Bettina – Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
Teaching simulations such as scriptwriting tasks offer a novel way to support pre-service teachers in gaining diagnostic competencies and in guiding students to work through difficulties. We first report on the theory-driven development of a scriptwriting task, specifically the theoretically-founded language- and accompanying content-related…

Nodzynska, Malgorzata – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2019
In formal education, the teaching of natural sciences begins when children are about 12 years old. Teachers justify this with the difficulty and abstraction of concepts in these sciences, and they refer to the theory of child development by Piaget. However, numerous examples from everyday life, from non-formal education, analysis of the…
