Lodge, Wilton – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2021
Background: In many classrooms, science textbooks remain a significant tool, functioning in some instances as the de facto curriculum and influencing pedagogical practices. Such conventions are more noticeable in the science classrooms of developing countries, like Jamaica, because of a chronic shortage of specialist science teachers and the…

Saeed, Murad Abdu; Al Qunayeer, Huda Suleiman; AL-Jaberi, Musheer Abdulwahid – SAGE Open, 2021
Despite the emphasis on effective supervisory feedback formulation on postgraduates' academic writing, our understanding of effective feedback forms may not be comprehensive without mentoring students' responses to feedback. Therefore, the current case study explores feedback formulation on research proposal writing and two postgraduates'…

Gholaminejad, Razieh; Anani Sarab, Mohammad Reza – TEFLIN Journal: A publication on the teaching and learning of English, 2021
In this commentary, we begin with the discussion on a brief history of academic wordlists. Adopting a comparative perspective, then, the merits and demerits of the Academic Word List (AWL) (Coxhead, 2000) and its competing counterpart the Academic Vocabulary List (AVL) (Gardner & Davies, 2014) are presented. We also explore whether the AWL can…
