Abstract

Aim: The current study set out to determine 1) which types of reporting verbs are most commonly used by EFL English major students in their research projects and 2) which types of reporting verbs are most commonly used by this population.Method: 52 research projects written by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students majoring in English were chosen and analyzed to achieve the study’s goals. Furthermore, reporting verbs were categorized according to Francis, Huston, and Manning’s (1996) work.Findings: As the results indicated, "show," "find," "present," "analyze," and "state" were the five reporting verbs used most frequently. The results showed that after classifying the reporting verb groups, the ARGUE verb group comprised 50% of all reporting verb groups, followed by the THINK verb group (18.75%), SHOW verb group (12.5%), FIND verb group (12.5%), and ADD verb group (6.25%), respectively.Implications/Novel Contribution: The purpose of this research is to educate writers to make more informed decisions when selecting reporting evidence for academic writing or research projects. From a theoretical perspective, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to investigating the potential benefits of evidentiality for language users beyond simply identifying the origin of a piece of information. It could help guide future research and provide a basis for new findings. There is still room for research into topics like the purposes of different kinds of evidence, genre conventions, and the application of evidence in different types of writing.

Abstract

Aim: This study, part of a larger task investigation, questions the use of general vocabulary in Thai EFL university students writing. The most common words in English are represented by general vocabulary, which is helpful for language students. The two main goals of the corpus-based lexical study were (a) to compile a list of frequently used general words in Thai EFL university students’ writing and (b) to compare the word list to the New General Service List (NGSL).Method: The authors gathered and analyzed 1,233 writing assignments totaling 661,596 words, all completed by Thai EFL college students. We used WordSmith Tool Version 6 (Scott, 2012) for this research, a concordancing program.Findings: According to our findings, out of the 2,818 NGSL high-frequency words, 1,648 were used frequently throughout the corpus, with this coverage accounting for 1.41 percent of the token total. By comparing our words to the NGSL, we found that most of the core vocabulary in the TEFL Corpus was, in fact, very close to the NGSL.Implications/New Contribution: The study’s findings will inform educators about the role of vocabulary in writing and will be useful to students and curriculum developers as they create resources for the instruction of writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) sector. Furthermore, these findings could be used by educators to enhance grammar and vocabulary instruction in the classroom. In addition, students can use these findings to better comprehend and appreciate how English is actually used in the real world to develop their writing skills.
