This study investigated the development of syntactic complexity in second language (L2) learner essays, focusing on how key syntactic features evolve as L2 learners practice writing through the use of an automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) tool. Using a corpus of essays written across three writing sessions, five indices of syntactic…

This forum piece reports on a brief survey of current quantitative research ethics training materials in Applied Linguistics (AL). This survey was conducted as a step towards an increased understanding of the ways in which we, as a field, train students and researchers to conduct quantitative research ethically. The survey was carried out in the…

The urban-rural divide has been a frequently discussed subject by scholars since the Chinese government's agenda aims to bring an equal quality of life to all regions of the people. Although many papers have identified the problem of regional inequality in China, which has been exacerbated by the Gaokao system, only some of them offer policy…

This study investigates the symbiotic interplay between attitude and motivation in the context of teaching and learning English at the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) level. To delve into the impacts of attitudes and motivation on teaching and learning English, and to understand the associated issues for a solution, this mixed-methods study…

Purpose: Most research on tandem language learning (TLL) has involved university contexts . To contribute to the paucity of research in school settings, this study focuses on a high school teacher's attempt at setting up an ESL-FSL exchange in a Canadian intranational context. To better understand the complexity of innovation, the process is…

Although research indicates that deliberate practice is indispensable for achieving high levels of proficiency and expertise in a range of disparate fields, this type of practice has largely been overlooked in the second language acquisition literature. To bridge this gap, and advocating for a more intentional and goal-directed approach to second…

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a teacher knowledge construct in connection with integrating technology into teaching. The present study was designed to examine ESP teachers' perceptions of their knowledge and skills with regard to the integration of ICT in their instructional practices.

While flipped learning is a commonly applied pedagogical intervention, a careful review of empirical studies provides little evidence of its effectiveness in facilitating students' grammar learning at the secondary school level in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts. Unlike traditional grammar teaching methods that emphasize rule…

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the use of multimedia resources on vocabulary learning in English as a foreign language, and the secondary objective was to verify the influence of additional verbal workingmemory training. Following a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study was performed…

This longitudinal mixed-method study investigated effects of the reading-while-listening mode on the incidental learning of two dimensions of vocabulary knowledge, namely receptive knowledge and productive knowledge, in a Chinese EFL classroom context. Additionally, EFL learners' attitudes toward the reading-while-listening mode of incidental…

This article starts from a comment on my locus of enunciation (i.e., the context from which I?speak), a key element of decoloniality as a means of resisting the idea of disembodied knowledge or neutrality promoted by modernity/coloniality. I?then proceed to explain how I?understand the entanglement of modernity and coloniality and why we need to…

Purpose: In the last decade, psychology and other sciences have implemented numerous reforms to improve the robustness of our research, many of which are based on increasing transparency throughout the research process. Among these reforms is the practice of preregistration, in which researchers create a time-stamped and uneditable document before…
