Abstract:

Effective writing instruction requires innovative techniques to improve coherence and fluency, particularly among second-language learners. Reflective Learning Portfolio (RLP) emphasizes reflective practice in learning, while Dialogue Journal Writing (DJW) fosters community, enhances interactions, and builds self-awareness. Despite their individual merits, the integrated effect of these reflective techniques alongside discourse markers on students' writing proficiency remains understudied. This research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental methodology with a non-equivalent control group

<strong>Abstract:</strong> Discourse markers are essential elements in both spoken and written English, playing a crucial role in organizing discourse, expressing attitudes, and signaling text structure. Despite their importance in achieving fluency and communication efficiency, the use of discourse markers is often overlooked in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. This paper explores the functions and significance of discourse markers in EFL teaching, reviewing existing literature on their use and the challenges learners face in acquiring them.

Abstract:

The use of discourse markers (DMs) is a critical component of writing proficiency in English as a Second Language (ESL), influencing coherence and cohesion in academic texts. This study investigates the variation in discourse marker usage between first-year and fourth-year Egyptian university students to understand how proficiency levels affect written cohesion. A corpus of 400 student essays was analyzed using a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative frequency analysis and qualitative functional categorization.

Abstract:

This study investigates the longitudinal effects of informal language contact on formally instructed L2 learners through multiple approaches which include quantitative and qualitative data sources. It focuses on the use of the aspect markers –te iru and –te ru (the reduced form of –te iru) in Japanese oral discourse by Chinese exchange students (NNSs). The quantitative data for conversational tasks was transcribed and analyzed by Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES), and the frequency of occurrence and variation of aspect markers were compared with those of Japanese university student

Abstract:

Whether the postgraduate students in the EFL context are adequately trained to express their authorial voice in academic writing in an appropriate tone has not been clarified enough in the literature. The aim of this study is to explore the linguistic resources used by Saudi postgraduate students of Applied Linguistics to construct stance when they write critique essays. To achieve this goal, a corpus of 78000 words was built from 73 critique essays collected in five years. To analyze this corpus, LancsBox corpus analysis software was used to generate the concordances with frequencies of key w

Abstract:

Discourse markers (DMs), represented by words and phrases such as but, you know, moreover, have for many years been a widely discussed topic in linguistics in Poland and abroad. However, no attention has been paid yet to DMs in teaching Polish as a foreign language (PFL). The paper explores this neglected issue by analysing the modes of presentation of DMs in the three most popular series of textbooks for teaching PFL (levels A1-B1). The textbooks were analysed manually to identify DMs and the ways in which they are taught. The results show that the textbooks differ in the number of DMs appear

This study presents a comparative corpus analysis of interactional metadiscourse features in two English textbooks used in Indonesian senior high schools: an EFL textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (Bahasa Inggris: Work in Progress) and an ESL textbook published by Cambridge University Press (English as a Second Language: Second Edition). Despite the central role textbooks play in shaping classroom discourse and developing students’ communicative competence, limited attention has been paid to how interactional metadiscourse is utilized in these materials, esp

Его цель – регламентировать работу преподавателей-инженеров на занятиях с разновозрастными учащимися. Ранее тексты этого жанра не выступали предметом научного исследования, несмотря на то что инструкция как жанр описана в рамках IT-дискурса, педагогического дискурса, поучающего, инженерного.

This study presents a corpus-based multidimensional comparative analysis of linguistic features in human-authored and ChatGPT-generated English compositions, with a focus on four core dimensions: lexical difficulty, syntactic complexity, textual cohesion, and error patterns. A total of 120 compositions were analyzed—60 produced by ChatGPT-4 and 60 authored by Chinese L2 English learners from the Ten-thousand English Compositions of Chinese Learners corpus—equally distributed across three educational proficiency levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Quantitative analyses indicate that human

Abstract:

Conjunctional adverbs and formulaic expressions are the fundamental mechanisms in the development of fluent speech, providing coherence and cohesion within discourse, but also contributing to perceived fluency or the listener’s impression of native-like speech. Research has emphasized the exceptional importance of explicitly teaching those lexical units that directly affect the development of speech fluency since they are very important in all phases during the process of speech production. The present study aims to expand the existing knowledge by providing insight into how formal teaching in

Speech is an activity in which speakers convey their message to listeners continuously. A coherent, logical argument must be made by the speaker, and audience participation is essential for a successful speech. The majority of prior research on English Public Speaking (hence referred to as EPS) from the Critical Discourse Analysis (hereinafter referred to as CDA) perspective focused on political or academic speech. Although the speech of English language learners (also known as EFLs) has caught the interest of academics. There has not been much study of the interactional metadiscourse characte

Abstract:

In cross-cultural communication, ostensible invitations, as a prototypical form of indirect speech acts, significantly influence the effectiveness of social inter-action. Existing research has predominantly focused on politeness principles, neglecting the impoliteness phenomena triggered by ostensible speech acts and the pragmatic transfer mechanisms among Chinese EFL learners. This study aims to: 1) identify the types of ostensible invitation strategies employed by Chinese EFL learners; 2) map proficiency-driven divergences in strategy use among learners at different levels; 3) diagnose L1 cu
