Abstract

The current study aims at investigating and comparing the linguistic features of lexical items, tense usage, and voice choice in a sample of ten Egyptian-authored linguistics research article (RA) literature reviews (LRs) in local and international English-medium journals between 2013 and 2019. The paper followed a combination of genre-based and corpus-driven approaches, analyzing the data qualitatively and quantitatively. It adopted the state-of-the-art #LancsBox. The analysis revealed interesting differences between both sub-corpora in the use of lexis, especially in Moves 2 and 3. It was found that lexis varied to reflect the different rhetorical functions of the LR. They also differed in the use of the past simple tense. However, both sub-corpora agreed on using the present simple tense and active voice the most. This paper contributes to the literature by providing a helpful guide for Egyptian and novice researchers to use the linguistic features more appropriately in their LRs. It has pedagogical implications for designing EAP and ESP courses. Further studies on larger corpora are needed to analyze the linguistic features and highlight variations across genres, disciplines, and languages.

Abstract

This study explored the writing difficulties of struggling writers and attempted to improve their performance in argumentative writing using Self-Regulated Strategy Development approach (SRSD). Using a diagnostic writing test, 39 senior high school students were identified as struggling writers in a secondary school. The participants were involved in a four-week writing intervention. During the process, they were trained to write using two writing strategies. The scoring of the outputs in the diagnostic and post-tests was mediated by two inter-raters following the criteria on writing performance (Jacobs et al., 1981). Initial results showed that struggling writers tend to perform poorly in all areas of writing performance. But after the intervention, the essay of the participants improved in terms of scores and characteristics. The study further explores the activities that worked during the intervention and the perception of participants towards their writing performance. Finally, implications to teaching argumentative writing to struggling writers are provided based on the intervention process.

Abstract

New technology advancements have frequently been credited as holding the potential to cause significant contributions to education. This study contributes to high-quality learning by putting students in real-world e-learning situations while still allowing them to use scientific techniques to complete their project assignments. The subjects of this study were 80 first-year undergraduate students enrolled in the Bahasa Inggris (English) course. The snowball method questionnaire was obtained, and questionnaires were distributed to the students’ WhatsApp groups by performing snowball operational. The Lectures combined virtual face-to-face video conferencing applications on e-learning. Kahoot is an add-on application used. In general, online learning has a positive effect on students’ learning success. However, there are still learning obstacles in academic performance in online learning. On the other hand, learning obstacles occur because of students' limitations in developing themselves or their mental readiness to learn. As a result, digital learning may blend real issues with theoretical concepts in the classroom without neglecting the learning objectives that have been set for student engagement.

The study found that other than in formal school, English could be learned through English tutorial classes, reading materials such as books, journals, and magazines in English, making use of internet applications with English as a medium such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Instagram, and talk or chat to foreigners. The study also revealed that the learner encountered difficulties in grammar and pronunciations. As observed, the student was not able to communicate in English effectively – with many grammar lapses and mispronunciations. It was further revealed that motivation and constant practice in English communication is seen by the learner as means of overcoming such difficulties. In conclusion, the study drew that foreign language learning is more difficult because exposure to the language is so limited. However, giving more talks to students in the classroom will provide means for students to practice English as a foreign language, as well as exposure to different internet applications with English as a medium.

Abstract

The recent study investigates tertiary students' perspectives on the implementation of the TOEFL benchmark score as a graduation requirement. There were 100 students chosen randomly in this study. Their perspectives were gathered through a questionnaire and an interview to know the students’ strategies and difficulties in answering the TOEFL test. The results showed that most students agree with the TOEFL benchmark as a graduation requirement however they face obstacles in answering the test. From the interview, the result showed that they had difficulties in answering the listening and grammar sections. This resulted in unfamiliarity with foreign sounds and a lack of practice. Besides, students felt that the minimum TOEFL score for the graduation requirement was beyond their ability since most students were not introduced to TOEFL from the beginning of their study. Most students used their strategies in learning TOEFL through searching some materials on the internet as well as from the module they got from English courses. Such strategies help them to increase their ability to improve their TOEFL score.
