Scholars focus on the social nature of academic writing to refine an understanding of feedback interactions in higher education. However, studies on the various sources of feedback -- feedback networks -- have been scarce, particularly during the initial years of doctoral education. Using a qualitative case study approach, multiple sources of…

This article gives an account of creating and delivering a (trans)disciplinary writing-intensive course focused on translation and translingual writing. The course, offered in a comparative literature program at a Canadian university, was co-created by an applied linguist, a literature professor, and a curriculum theorist, and was inspired in part…

The role of the learner's mother tongue in second and foreign language classrooms has been a subject of debate for many decades (Brice, Mastin, & Perkins, 1998; Cook, 2001; Ferguson, 2003; Almulhim, 2014; Al-Amir, 2017). This debate about the use of the learner's first language is reflected in the absence of a clear policy on its use within…

The present study sought to uncover the effect of previously acquired languages, Azeri and Persian, on the acquisition of English adjective properties of bilingual learners. It further investigated the role of L3 general proficiency and its interaction with the effect of previously acquired languages on the development of English adjective…

When it comes to preparing prospective teachers who are typically white monolingual middle-class females, some research tends to start with the "problems" to be fixed--the prospective teachers' lack of knowledge and experiences, their problematic mindsets and beliefs--especially when learning to teach minoritized learners, including…

The need to diversify the teaching workforce is well documented. However, there are few resources outlining specific models to carry out this work, and even fewer examples that describe a community college academic pathway into teacher education. Because community colleges serve a high percentage of diverse students, a community college pathway…

Background: The teaching of reading strategies that enhance comprehension is a priority for many practising lecturers involved in academic literacy programmes. However, due to the unprepared nature of a large section of students entering the Higher Education system, a number of students have been found to lack basic literacy skills such as reading…

This article draws from inquiry-based research that explored the efficacy of practitioners' efforts to create an asset-oriented field experience with preservice teachers and middle school students, responding to the challenge of building a virtual learning community during the pandemic. Through thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), we…

The present study explores and investigates how a Korean-English bilingual speaker is influenced by her native culture during her acculturation process in the United States (U.S.). This linguistic research study is designed around three main themes. The first theme is the cultural adaptation process of the participant, which is analyzed based on…

It is important to build preservice teachers' self-efficacy in working with diverse learners. During summer of 2021, faculty from a mid-sized public university in the southwest took a small group of preservice teachers into central Mexico to provide opportunities in working with diverse learners and/or emergent bilingual students. Although this…

This study sought to scaffold administration performance of a standardized bilingual screener to sufficient levels of accuracy for data collection using principles of Cognitive Load Theory by managing task complexity when training pre-service clinicians. Before training administration skills, two students were given copies of the manual for the…

Research on teaching and learning in TESOL has incorporated student opinions and student voices in a variety of ways. However, it is relatively rare to see studies that query students after they have exited a language program and can reflect more objectively on their experiences. The survey described in this article was sent to university second…

This study aimed at the analysis of syntactic errors in translation done by both bilingual and monolingual EFL learners. Research on the subject of the study implied that there might be differences between monolinguals and bilingual learners of foreign languages. The gaps of studies on differences between monolinguals and bilingual's translations…

Historically, Spanish heritage language (SHL) scholarship has had connections to communities with established Spanish-speaking populations (Rivera-Mills, 2012). Regional SHL course offerings expanded in tandem with increases in Spanish-speaking populations, and little is known about students' experiences in these new and emerging SHL programs.…

The present study examines the multilingual and multimodal repertoires of international graduate students on Facebook, displaying how semiotic and linguistic resources are employed to index multiple aspects of their identity in social media. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews and social media data of participants, this paper reveals…
