Abstract

Knowledge of specialized academic vocabulary is important for the academic success of EFL natural science students. Specialized words outside the General Service List (GSL) (West, 1953) and the Academic Word List (AWL) (Coxhead, 2000) are necessary for comprehending scientific text. The existing lists of words do not cover all sub-disciplines of natural science. The present study aims to explore the specialized academic words across 11 sub-disciplines of natural science. To identify the words, a corpus-based approach and an expert-judged approach were used. A 5.5-million-word corpus called the Science Academic Journal (SAJ) Corpus was created for this study. Applying the established word selection criteria, 513 word families were selected. The potential list was reviewed by a panel of experts in order to remove the overly-technical words from the list. The Science Academic Word List (SAWL) was established with 432 word families and provided 5.82% coverage of the running words in the SAJ corpus. To validate the word list, the SAWL was tested against two independent corpora. The findings revealed that the SAWL contains 432 word families that are useful for reading journal articles in natural science disciplines. In addition, it was also found that the SAWL performed better on an independent corpus compared to the Science World List (Coxhead Hirsh, 2007). It is expected that the SAWL established in this study will be a useful source for learning and teaching vocabulary in natural science disciplines.

Abstract

Despite the breadth of research on EFL reading comprehension, limited attention has been given to teacher support for critical reading and learner engagement in the Thai higher education context. This study applied Barrettes taxonomy as its analytical framework to explore whether tertiary students critical reading and engagement can be enhanced through an innovative blend of 5E inquiry-based instruction and Socratic seminars in a flipped classroom. The research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-post-test design, focusing on 33 second-year English students, whose placement test results identified them as having low critical reading skills. The instruments used included 12-week lesson plans, critical reading pre- and post-tests, and self-reflective questionnaires. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in the participants critical reading comprehension, achieving a p-value of 0.001 at the 0.05 significance level (t = 8.586). During the reading activities, the students exhibited a moderate level of engagement in both the affective domain (M = 3.85, SD = 0.716) and the cognitive domain (M = 3.71, SD = 0.773. In addition, they demonstrated a high level of engagement in the behavioural domain (M = 4.35, SD = 0.651). These results contribute to the academic discourse concerning effective English teaching methodologies and offer practical implications for related EFL contexts. The study concludes with a discussion of its limitations and recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for broader application and validation of these instructional strategies across diverse EFL learning environments.
