The inspection of mistakes can play a powerful role in an individual's learning process (Boaler 2015). The purpose of this article is to support the reader in selecting mistakes that can be leveraged to benefit the learning of all students.

Much remains under-researched in how learners make use of domain-specific feedback. In this paper, we report on how learners' can be supported to overcome logical circularity during their proof construction processes, and how feedback supports the processes. We present an analysis of three selected episodes from five learners who were using a…

This article describes the results of a study that examined middle school students' written revisions as well as attitudes and perceptions regarding revision when paired with transmediation.

Team-teaching creates an opportunity for teacher collaborative learning. Teachers of English as Foreign Language (EFL) working in individual teaching contexts need to make a transition to team-teaching to successfully fulfill their roles as team teachers. However, teacher transition from individual to team-teaching is underexplored and there is an…

The research on interpreting aptitude has focused on the abilities, skills and personal traits of individuals in order to predict their future interpreting performance. However, an important variable between the personal characteristics and success of trainee interpreters in interpreter training, which is instructional practices, is overlooked.…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a powerful type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that simulates how humans organize language and are able to interpret, predict, and generate text. This allows for contextual understanding of natural human language which enables the LLM to understand conversational human input and respond in a natural manner. Recent…

This study compared the effects of computer-mediated (CM) versus pen-and-paper (P&P) writing on written accuracy and feedback processing in tasks written and rewritten collaboratively following a pedagogical treatment in two intact authentic classrooms. The study involved 32 secondary education low-proficiency English-as-a-foreign-language…

Purpose: Attempts to cultivate a multilingual mindset in education in South Tyrol find an obstacle in educational norms, structures and policies that divide students into linguistically distinct schools based on their self-identified main language. Education in the region is administered through three separate educational authorities --…

AWCF can facilitate academic writing development, especially for novice writers of English as a foreign language (EFL). Existing AWCF studies mainly focus on teacher and learner perceptions; fewer have investigated the error-correction effect of AWCF and factors related to the effect. Especially lacking is research on how successfully students can…

This paper describes the rationale, design and implementation of a short private online course (SPOC) on data-driven learning (DDL) (Johns, 1991), focusing on L2 error correction in postgraduate academic writing and involving over 300 registered users. I discuss the affordances of using a SPOC platform (namely "EdX") for online DDL…

This article examines whether teacher mentoring can be achieved in the Greek EFL multicultural teaching context, within the private sector, mainly through observation and if this could contribute to the teacher (observee) or even mentor (observer) development. Observation explores everyday multicultural classroom situations and results in a…

Actual onehour footage of classroom was documented through…

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…

Research has identified a variety of effective approaches for responding to errors during discrete-trial training. In one commonly used method, the therapist delivers a prompt contingent on the occurrence of an incorrect response and then re-presents the trial so that the learner has an opportunity to perform the correct response independently.…

This paper investigates the noticing of six Chinese mathematics prospective teachers (PSTs) when looking at a procedural error and responding to three specific tasks related to that error. Using video clips of one student's procedural error consisting of exchanging the order of coordinates when applying the distance formula, some variation was…
