This study aims to elucidate the subject and non-subject agreement mechanisms within Yemsa relative clauses, an area not comprehensively covered by existing research. By analysing these agreement forms, the study seeks to bridge the identified gap in the understanding of Yemsa’s syntactic structures. The research questions guiding this study focus on the mechanisms through which subject agreements are manifested in Yemsa's relative clauses and the morphological markers they employ, alongside an examination of how non-subject agreements within these clauses diverge from subject agreements. The data were collected through the elicitation technique through informant interviews about subject and non-subject agreements in the Yemsa relative clauses. The data were analysed using a descriptive approach. The person-marker inventories are suffixes. Siewierska’s Prominence Hierarchy works in Yemsa. The order of the suffixes is modifier > head. Person markers simultaneously indicate masculine and feminine referents and numbers. Siewierska’s Predicate Hierarchy works on Yemsa. The suffix element -nà appears in the relative verbs. The word order in the relative clause is (O)VS. The nominative case is unmarked, whereas the accusative case is marked. The subject argument is expressed in the same manner as an independent clause. The description of the subject and the non-subject agreement in the Yemsa relative clauses has significant implications for developing the general features of Omotic and Afroasiatic languages. The study will serve as an input for the preparation of pedagogical materials in the language.
本研究旨在阐明叶姆萨语相对从句中的主语和非主语一致机制,这是一个现有研究尚未全面覆盖的领域。通过分析这些协议形式,本研究试图弥补在理解叶姆萨句法结构方面发现的差距。指导本研究的研究问题主要集中在叶马语相对从句中主语一致的表现机制及其使用的形态标记,同时还考察了这些从句中的非主语一致与主语一致之间的差异。研究采用诱导技术,通过对信息提供者进行访谈,收集有关叶姆萨语相对从句中主语和非主语协议的数据。数据采用描述性方法进行分析。人称标记清单是后缀。Siewierska's Prominence Hierarchy 在 Yemsa 中起作用。后缀的顺序是修饰语 > 头。人称标记同时表示阳性和阴性指代物和数字。Siewierska 的 "谓词层次结构 "在叶姆萨语中有效。后缀元素 -nà 出现在相对动词中。相对从句的词序是 (O)VS。名词性态是无标记的,而指称性态是有标记的。主语分论点的表达方式与独立分句相同。对 Yemsa 语相对从句中主语和非主语一致的描述对发展 Omotic 和 Afroasiatic 语言的一般特征具有重要意义。这项研究将为编写该语言的教学材料提供素材。

Oral corrective feedback (OCF) is considered a salient pedagogical process which teachers use to assist students to enhance their language learning. Less is known about which feedback practices students prefer or consider effective for particular language learning processes. From a sociocultural perspective, this study investigated the extent of congruency between teacher practices and student preferences for OCF in Islamic Senior High Schools in Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from 444 students using a five-point Likert scale and administered across one province. Complementary data were collected from classroom observations, teacher interviews and student focus groups. The analyses of these multiple datasets illustrate that teacher practices are not congruent with student preferences for OCF. Findings show that students favour feedback on vocabulary errors, whereas in practice, teachers respond more often to pronunciation errors. Students prefer negotiated feedback, but in practice teachers mostly use clarification requests. The groups are aligned in relation to one area; students indicate a preference for teacher feedback, likewise teachers’ practice demonstrably favours teacher feedback. Pedagogically, the findings indicate a need for teachers to transform their conceptual understanding and practices of OCF to better support student collaboration and mutual meaningful scaffolding for L2 development.
口头纠正反馈(OCF)被认为是教师用来帮助学生提高语言学习效果的一个重要教学过程。但对于学生喜欢哪种反馈方法或认为哪种反馈方法对特定的语言学习过程有效,人们知之甚少。本研究从社会文化的角度出发,调查了印度尼西亚伊斯兰高中的教师实践与学生对开放式反馈的偏好之间的一致程度。本研究采用混合方法,使用五点李克特量表收集了 444 名学生的定量数据,并在一个省进行了调查。通过课堂观察、教师访谈和学生焦点小组收集了补充数据。对这些多重数据集的分析表明,教师的做法与学生对开放式学习材料的偏好并不一致。研究结果表明,学生更喜欢词汇错误的反馈,而在实际教学中,教师更多地对发音错误做出回应。学生更喜欢协商反馈,而在实际教学中,教师则更多地使用澄清要求。两组在一个方面是一致的;学生表示更喜欢教师的反馈,同样,教师的做法明显更倾向于教师的反馈。在教学方面,研究结果表明,教师需要转变对开放式协作框架的概念理解和实践,以更好地支持学生协作和相互提供有意义的支架,促进 L2 发展。

The present study investigated the use of the iBrainstorm app in a collaborative argumentation-based learning context for developing listening comprehension skills by EFL learners. Two groups of students were formed. All of them studied English as a foreign language at the BA level at Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. Participants were assigned to groups at random. Participants took a pre-test of listening comprehension skills before starting the programme. The control group listened to authentic audio tracks in English and discussed their contents, watched authentic English movies, discussed issues in the movies in pairs in the classroom. The experimental group spent part of the time on theoretical explanation of, and practical exercises with, argumentation-based learning by the iBrainstorm application. The total instruction time was the same for two groups, i.e., 32 hours. Students then took a post-test and, a month later, a delayed post-test in listening comprehension skills. The results show that the use of the iBrainstorm app significantly improved the students’ listening comprehension skills, and significantly more so than those of the control group. These results have pedagogical implications for curriculum designers, material producers, and all who are involved in language study and pedagogy.
本研究调查了 iBrainstorm 应用程序在以协作论证为基础的学习情境中的使用情况,以培养英语学习者的听力理解能力。研究对象为两组学生。他们都在伊朗布阿里-西纳大学攻读英语作为外语的学士学位。参与者被随机分配到各组。在课程开始前,学员们参加了听力理解技能的预测试。对照组聆听地道的英语音频并讨论其内容,观看地道的英语电影,在课堂上两人一组讨论电影中的问题。实验组利用 iBrainstorm 应用程序对基于论证的学习进行理论讲解和实际练习。两组的总授课时间相同,均为 32 小时。然后,学生们参加了听力理解技能的后测和一个月后的延迟后测。结果表明,使用 iBrainstorm 应用程序大大提高了学生的听力理解能力,而且明显高于对照组。这些结果对课程设计者、教材制作者以及所有从事语言学习和教学的人员都具有教学意义。

Stance expressions in applied linguistics research articles: A corpus-based contrastive study 应用语言学研究文章中的立场表达:基于语料库的对比研究
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-03-25 DOI: 10.22363/2521-442x-2024-8-1-54-65

Stance, a crucial aspect of academic writing, is complex and vital for both beginner and advanced writers. However, L2 English learners and experienced writers frequently struggle with using stance markers effectively. Currently, there remains a scarcity of research comparing the utilisation of stance markers in applied linguistics research articles between native English professional writers and L1 Indonesian speakers. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating similarities and differences in the deployment of stance markers in applied linguistics research articles by authors with L1 Indonesian and L1 English backgrounds and discussing the educational implications derived from the analysis results. The analysis involves two corpora: the Indonesian academic corpus (IAC), comprising articles authored by L1 Indonesians, and the English academic corpus (EAC), consisting of articles by native English speakers. The study investigates various types of stance markers and their distribution across the corpora, revealing significant differences in their usage. L2 English authors employ more boosters and attitude markers, while L1 English writers use more hedges and self-mentions, with the most notable disparities observed in the usage of self-references. These findings underscore the necessity for educators, particularly within the Indonesian context, to sensitise learners to the discursive norms surrounding the use of stance markers in applied linguistics research articles and provide targeted instruction to enhance English learners’ proficiency in employing stance markers effectively.
立场是学术写作的一个重要方面,对于初学者和高级写作者来说都是复杂而重要的。然而,后天英语学习者和经验丰富的写作者在有效使用立场标记方面经常遇到困难。目前,对母语为英语的专业写作者和母语为印尼语的写作者在应用语言学研究文章中使用立场标记进行比较的研究仍然很少。本研究旨在填补这一空白,调查母语为印尼语和母语为英语的作者在应用语言学研究文章中使用立场标记的异同,并讨论分析结果的教育意义。分析涉及两个语料库:印尼学术语料库(IAC)和英语学术语料库(EAC),前者包括印尼语为母语的作者撰写的文章,后者包括英语为母语的作者撰写的文章。研究调查了各种类型的立场标记及其在语料库中的分布情况,发现了它们在使用上的显著差异。L2 英语作者使用了更多的助推器和态度标记,而 L1 英语作者则使用了更多的对冲和自我暗示,其中最明显的差异体现在自我引用的使用上。这些发现突出表明,教育工作者,尤其是印度尼西亚的教育工作者,有必要让学习者了解应用语言学研究文章中围绕立场标记使用的话语规范,并提供有针对性的指导,以提高英语学习者有效使用立场标记的能力。

The use of the mother tongue in foreign language lessons has always generated a wide debate on whether the use of L1 prevents students from learning a L2. This research shows what teachers of English as L2 in Spain think about this topic. First, we review the reasons to exclude the use of Spanish, as well as the reasons for its inclusion. This approach includes linguistic, social, and cultural factors intrinsic to the teaching/learning process. Information is collected using a mixed method approach. On the one hand, a questionnaire is designed to identify patterns and trends regarding the use of Spanish in the English classroom considering factual, behavioural, and attitudinal data. Each section is linked to research objectives. On the other, three specific qualitative methods are used: personal interviews, small focus group discussions and extension written narratives, where 12 questions are composed as a basis for the realisation of these three methods. The results of the study suggest that a prudent and judicious use of Spanish does not prevent or hinder the development of English learning in students. On the contrary, in many cases, it facilitates it since it provides the teacher with a powerful pedagogical resource. The study posits that the judicious employment of Spanish within the classroom setting yields positive outcomes and advocates for increased flexibility in its utilisation. However, it simultaneously points to the imperative that this flexibility should not detract from the primary objective of English language acquisition. This study has theoretical and practical implications in the design of formation syllabi for in-service and future teachers of L2 in L1 contexts.
在外语课上使用母语是否会妨碍学生学习第二语言,一直是人们争论的焦点。本研究展示了西班牙将英语作为第二语言的教师对这一问题的看法。首先,我们回顾了不使用西班牙语的原因,以及使用西班牙语的理由。这种方法包括教/学过程中固有的语言、社会和文化因素。采用混合方法收集信息。一方面,设计了一份调查问卷,以确定在英语课堂中使用西班牙语的模式和趋势,同时考虑到事实、行为和态度方面的数据。每个部分都与研究目标相关联。另一方面,还采用了三种具体的定性方法:个人访谈、小型焦点小组讨论和扩展书面叙述,其中 12 个问题是实现这三种方法的基础。研究结果表明,谨慎而明智地使用西班牙语并不会妨碍或阻碍学生英语学习的发展。相反,在许多情况下,它还能促进学生的英语学习,因为它为教师提供了强大的教学资源。本研究认为,在课堂教学中明智地使用西班牙语会产生积极的效果,并主张提高西班牙语使用的灵活性。然而,研究同时指出,这种灵活性不应偏离英语语言学习的首要目标。本研究对在职和未来的 L2 教师在 L1 环境中设计教学大纲具有理论和实践意义。

This research focuses on the needs analysis and perspectives in evaluating English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses designed for medical students. The study intends to identify the medical students’ perceptions of the frequency and importance of using English language skills. Two different instruments, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, were used to collect data. Respondents included 186 medical students, 4 ESP lecturers, and 10 Department of Medicine (DM) Subject Matter lecturers at Ibb University in Yemen. In this study, quantitative data were collected from three different subject groups (n=200) by means of three versions of the questionnaire. Correspondingly, some follow-up interviews, which were organised with a group of these three informants (n=29), complemented the data collection procedure. The collected data was analysed via the SPSS software package, followed by a qualitative data thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. The findings showed some differences in which medical students believed the most frequent skills used are Listening and Reading, while their ESP and DM Subject Matter lecturers believed that medical students use Writing and Listening. The results revealed that although most of the English language skills and sub-skills in target needs were considered important or very important by all the participants, there were discrepancies in the preferences and priorities. The findings of this study are expected to be used as reference material for further research and give valuable considerations which may provide useful information for the ESP course designers to meet the target English needs of medical students in Yemen.
本研究的重点是对为医科学生设计的特定用途英语(ESP)课程进行需求分析和观点评估。研究旨在确定医科学生对使用英语语言技能的频率和重要性的看法。研究采用了问卷调查和半结构式访谈两种不同的工具来收集数据。受访者包括也门伊卜大学的186名医科学生、4名ESP讲师和10名医学系(DM)学科讲师。本研究通过三种版本的问卷从三个不同的学科组(n=200)收集定量数据。相应地,对这三个信息提供者(人数=29)中的一组进行了一些后续访谈,对数据收集程序进行了补充。收集到的数据通过 SPSS 软件包进行了分析,随后对半结构化访谈进行了定性数据专题分析。结果显示,医学生认为最常用的技能是听力和阅读,而他们的 ESP 和 DM 学科讲师则认为医学生使用写作和听力。结果显示,尽管所有参与者都认为目标需求中的大多数英语语言技能和子技能重要或非常重要,但在偏好和优先顺序方面存在差异。本研究的结果有望作为进一步研究的参考材料,并为ESP课程设计者提供有价值的考虑,从而为满足也门医科学生的英语目标需求提供有用信息。
