Abstract:

Abstract English as a foreign language (EFL) textbooks typically present a prescriptive typology of three or four conditional types. We examine the extent to which this long-established English Language Teaching (ELT) typology is reflected in four varieties of English by comparing the forms and functions of four samples of 620 if-conditionals from French school EFL textbooks (TEC-Fr), French L1 Learner English (OpenCLC-Fr), Web English (EnTenTen15-S) and British English (BNC-S). The ELT typology accounts for considerably less than half of if-sentences in the reference data. Even in the EFL tex

AbstractThis article explores the issue of whether the strength of a country’s national identity can determine extensive use of English instead of Croatian equivalents among Croatian students of kinesiology, both in their professional (i.e. expressions related to sport) and everyday language usage. The study addresses the following issues: a) what does having stronger national identity mean; b) is there correlation between strength of national identity and gender differences in knowledge and preferences in using Croatian equivalents over English terms; c) in which context (everyday or sports)

Abstract:

Linking adverbials are important for creating textual cohesion in both written and spoken English. While there are reference grammar books describing the usage patterns of linking adverbials and studies investigating learners’ difficulties in using these cohesive devices, there is little discussion on how to effectively teach and learn them. By testing the adequacy of existing textbooks and drawing on corpus findings of the usage patterns of linking adverbials in English, this article suggests principles to guide the teaching and learning of linking adverbials in the English language classroom

Abstract:

The use of English words in Tamil lyrics has significantly increased in recent years due to globalisation, Western cultural exposure, and the evolution of the Tamil music industry. Traditionally, Tamil lyrics used pure Tamil words, which were well-received in the early 1960s. However, the younger generation's exposure to Western influences and English-speaking media has led to a greater incorporation of English words in Tamil lyrics, reflecting broader cultural and societal changes. This blending of languages has made it difficult to classify the language of these compositions accurately. To a

Such limits seem eminently reasonable, but there is a notable dearth of empirical studies to support them. This paper describes a simple experiment to see

Abstract:

AbstractListening comprehension in a second language (L2) is a complex and particularly challenging task for learners. Because of this, L2 learners and instructors alike employ different learning supports as assistance. Captions in multimedia instruction readily provide support and thus have been an ever-increasing focus of many studies. However, captions must eventually be removed, as the goal of language learning is participation in the target language where captions are not typically available. Consequently, this creates a dilemma particularly for language instructors as to the usage of cap

Abstract:

This study focuses on creating an innovative system that leverages a text similarity algorithm to provide accurate correction and scoring of English compositions. By harnessing advanced computational techniques, the system aims to streamline the grading process and offer more consistent feedback to students. The research methodology involves the design and implementation of the text similarity algorithm, which analyzes various linguistic aspects such as vocabulary usage, grammar, coherence, and organization. This algorithm is then integrated into a comprehensive scoring system that evaluates s

Abstract:

Corpus Linguistics (CL) has made significant inroads into the field of second language acquisition (SLA) and pedagogy. As more corpora have become available, researchers and teachers alike have begun to realize the importance of empirically testing ideas that have long been taken for granted and accepted as fact. This is especially true for grammar textbooks written for second language (L2) learners. Do the textbooks that are being used reflect real world grammatical usage? The current study is the first of two in which three corpora were used to examine real world usage of reported speech (RS

This makes evaluating the reasoning and robustness level of language models in Ukrainian particularly challenging.
