The development and construction of doctoral students' academic identity have become an area of research interest, focusing on the link between identity issues and the use of intertextuality in postgraduate students. While prior studies concentrated on written features and citation patterns, a more nuanced understanding of identity negotiations…

Writing in English is considered an important skill for ESL learners, and qualified teachers are needed in order to provide the students with written corrective feedback (WCF).

Using a model of inputs-environment-process-outcomes, our focus is the students' point of view on writing the master's thesis in accounting. We analyze the factors that influence the complexity of a thesis and the satisfaction of students with it. We used the answers received on two matched questionnaires distributed during the second semester of…

This study investigated the perceived English-language academic writing challenges encountered by Thai EFL undergraduate engineering students and the strategies they employed to overcome these challenges.

Across the nation, incoming first-year undergraduates enter the university with a major that they selected before they had any lived-experiences as a college student. With more students changing their major than keeping the one they initially enrolled with, an inequity arises between those students whose pre-college experiences prepare them to…

Although some published studies have challenged the importance and efficacy of written corrective feedback (WCF), ESL/EFL tutors continue to value its practice and provide WCF to their students in spite of their time and workload constraints. The development of various automated-feedback applications over the last few years contributed to our…

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), including large language models (LLM), has merged to support students in their academic writing process. Keeping pace with the technical and educational landscape requires careful consideration of the opportunities and challenges that GenAI-assisted systems create within…

Despite a reasonably long history in university teaching, the discussion board is relatively underreported on in Political Science courses. As instructors contemplate which online tools should be carried forward after the pandemic, the discussion board bears closer scrutiny.

This article proposes an arts-based pedagogy that highlights embodiment in first-year composition (FYC). In particular, this pedagogy focuses on "transgenre composing," or the intersecting of visual art and writing. I argue that, when embraced alongside the rhetoric of health and medicine (RHM), transgenre composing facilitates inclusive…

Leaning on a holistic supervising doctoral writing framework, this study sets out to conceptualise and unpack the dialogic feedback experiences sustained within a PhD candidate's research article writing process. A juxtaposition of multiple data sources uncovers that effective employment of supervision approaches to feedback essentially varies…

The mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was applied, and 50 students at the B2 proficiency level who studied at the Turkish Teaching Practice and Research Center (BAIBU…

This study explores transformative learning (TL) in community-based language learning experiences. The fall 2019 study, conducted with 25 undergraduate students enrolled in two advanced language courses with a service-learning component, was designed to identify if TL is occurring, which classroom and community-based activities lead to TL, and…

Limited research examines writing tutors' self-efficacy, or how tutors believe "in their abilities to produce given attainments" (Bandura, 2006, p. 307). This qualitative constant comparative study explored self-efficacy's impact on tutoring strategies writing tutors use in recorded digital tutoring conferences with community college…
