The current study examined the effect of the linguistic status of the verbal previewing strategy on the outcomes of reading comprehension tasks among second (N = 25, age 7.08 ± 0.3), and sixth-grade students (N = 25, age 11.75 ± 0.25), with typical reading development. The texts for each group were carefully matched and were divided into three…

The important role of willingness to communicate (WTC) in facilitating second language (L2) learning and use has been widely endorsed.

Such a relationship may also be mediated by learners' L2 anxiety, a typical predictor of L2 WTC, and moderated by…

In this study, students' understanding of some important features of competitive elimination and substitution reactions of alcohols was examined based on their participation in a guided inquiry activity of two organic laboratory experiments: the dehydration of cyclohexanol and the conversion of tert-butyl alcohol into tert-butyl chloride. Students…
