While the use of collaborative peer editing is widespread in some online learning contexts, little is known about how constituent editing behaviours impact student writing quality when using shared online documents as the mediating tool. Therefore, the present study (n = 176) examines the effects of English language learners' peer editing…

This exploratory qualitative study aims to explore the ChatGPT use of Van-Lang-University graduate students in a research writing course and the cognitive levels of their reactions to its responses. The data was collected from observations and interviews with twelve Vietnamese graduate students studying in a research writing class at this…

Purpose: Developing graduate students' academic writing has been a major concern for many scholars over the past few years. Existing literature on the challenges of thesis writing has not focused on master's students in English language teaching (ELT). Data on the challenges have been mainly gathered from the theses and focused on the structure…

There is a propensity for language teachers to handicap graduate students as independent, competent, and strategic academic writers. Therefore, it is easier to discover graduate students struggling intensely to produce and publish qualified academic writing products to targeted journal articles. Due to this ubiquitous fact, self-regulated learning…

While doctoral student writing has received attention in the research literature, little research has focused on master's student writing. Master's students need to be skilled writers in their professional lives, and have the same if not greater need for writing instruction as other…

This study examines the support for developing graduate students' language awareness in academic writing drafts through the provision of grammar lessons and feedback -- indirect and metalinguistic. The study was conducted in a basic academic writing module, offered to both masters' and PhD students (n=48) at a university in Singapore. To gauge…

Language, procedure, and identity are L2 teaching/learning essentials that may promote agency and stimulate synergies among knowledge, practice, and reflection (Diaz Maggioli, 2014; Duff, 2012). This meta-report presents three studies that collectively advance agency and endorse linguistic foundations as enrichment, differentiated instruction as…

Lexical bundles, recurrent multiword combinations in a register, are extremely common and important discourse building blocks in academic writing. An increasing number of studies have investigated lexical bundles in academic writing in recent years, but few studies have explored L2 learners' interpretations of their own bundle production,…
