The present study adopts the four-step framework of course development processes proposed by Graves (1996) to develop a writing course for EFL Vietnamese undergraduates. A total of 60 students were asked to take a writing test and a survey about writing problems to identify their “objective needs”. Then “subjective needs” were collected from interviews. In addition, the three language teachers were invited to the semi-structured interviews to collect their perspectives on teaching writing, which were analyzed in parallel with students’ needs. The findings show that students’ writing levels are low-intermediate and intermediate, and they have major problems with the organization of ideas, followed by grammar and idea development. Regarding teaching, students’ main concerns are a lack of writing activities and teacher feedback, which may be due to large classes and heavy workloads. To improve students’ writing problems, more writing tasks are needed, including pre-planning (idea development), performance (writing practice), and post-writing (peer feedback, teacher feedback, final draft). These writing tasks are arranged into different phases to help teachers follow up on students’ writing practice and reduce their workloads. Considering these conditions, a proposed writing task-based course was suitable to develop, including the five components of course design: context; goals and objectives; content; method and material; and assessment, as professional support for EFL or ESL language teachers in designing a writing course that can be used for teaching, training, or coaching in a similar context.
本研究采用 Graves(1996 年)提出的课程开发过程四步骤框架,为越南英语本科生开发写作课程。本研究共要求 60 名学生参加写作测试和写作问题调查,以确定他们的 "客观需求"。然后通过访谈收集 "主观需求"。此外,还邀请了三位语文教师进行半结构式访谈,收集他们对写作教学的看法,并与学生的需求同步进行分析。调查结果显示,学生的写作水平处于中下水平,主要问题是组织思路,其次是语法和构思。在教学方面,学生主要担心缺乏写作活动和教师反馈,这可能是由于班级人数多、课业负担重造成的。要改善学生的写作问题,需要更多的写作任务,包括前期规划(构思发展)、表现(写作练习)和后期写作(同伴反馈、教师反馈、定稿)。这些写作任务被安排在不同的阶段,以帮助教师跟进学生的写作练习,减轻他们的工作量。考虑到这些条件,建议开发一个基于写作任务的课程,包括课程设计的五个组成部分:情境、目标和目的、内容、方法和材料、评估,作为 EFL 或 ESL 语言教师设计写作课程的专业支持,可用于类似情境下的教学、培训或辅导。

Schizophrenic discourse is characterized by thought disorder, or a lack of coherence, prompting substantial research into identifying and measuring the incoherent discourse of schizophrenics. Much of this research has examined short extracts of elicited spoken data and used researcher judgments. This study examines the connectedness of naturally-occurring extensive written schizophrenic discourse using three methods of analysis: an automated analysis of cohesion, lexical cohesion analysis, and topic-based analysis focusing on propositional coherence. The results show that the schizophrenic texts are highly cohesive, especially in their use of connectives and the density of connections. The texts also show high proportions of topic shifts and a greater average distance of moves between concepts. These suggest that the topic structure of the schizophrenic texts consists predominantly of repetitive topic maintenance interspersed with short unrelated mini-topics, and it is this structure that manifests thought disorder.
精神分裂症患者的话语以思维障碍或缺乏连贯性为特征,这促使人们对识别和测量精神分裂症患者的不连贯话语进行了大量研究。这项研究的大部分都是对口头数据的简短摘录和研究者的判断进行检验。本研究使用三种分析方法考察自然发生的大量书面精神分裂症语篇的连通性:自动衔接分析、词汇衔接分析和基于主题的命题连贯分析。结果表明,精神分裂症文本具有高度的衔接性,特别是在连接词的使用和连接密度方面。文本也显示出高比例的话题转移和更大的平均移动距离之间的概念。这些结果表明,精神分裂症文本的主题结构主要由重复的主题维持组成,其间穿插着不相关的小主题,而这种结构正是思维障碍的表现。

In Thailand, in-class teaching and learning are regarded as the principal form of obtaining English proficiency in all skills including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, Thai students are still deficient of the ability to effectively wield the skills in real life. This reflects the inadequacy of the classroom teaching of the language and its lack of practical advantage. Therefore, extracurricular activities have been implemented alongside classroom teaching to enhance learners’ ability to use the language in an authentic context as well as their confidence and self-esteem. Chulalongkorn University in Thailand offers students with a variety of out-of-class activities by making it a requirement that first-year students participate in any of them as they are embedded as part of the score collection. One of them is entitled “Love Guru” which allows students from all faculties and majors to participate in. It is organized three times per semester and has mostly received positive feedbacks so far from students as a novel alternative to learn English which additionally serves to bond them together, boost their self-esteem, and encourage them to use English as a means of discussion about the issues that they can identify with. This article elaborates on the characteristics, implementations and results of the activity based on the teacher’s experiences.
在泰国,课堂教学和学习被视为掌握英语所有技能的主要形式,包括听、说、读、写。然而,泰国学生仍然缺乏在现实生活中有效运用这些技能的能力。这反映了语言课堂教学的不足和缺乏实际优势。因此,课外活动在课堂教学的同时进行,以提高学习者在真实语境中使用语言的能力,并增强他们的信心和自尊。泰国朱拉隆功大学(Chulalongkorn University)为学生提供了各种各样的课外活动,要求一年级学生参加任何一项活动,因为这些活动被嵌入到分数收集中。其中一项名为“爱情导师”,所有院系和专业的学生都可以参加。它每学期组织三次,到目前为止,大多数学生都收到了积极的反馈,作为学习英语的一种新颖的选择,它还有助于将他们联系在一起,增强他们的自尊心,并鼓励他们使用英语作为讨论他们能认同的问题的一种手段。本文结合教师的经验,详细阐述了活动的特点、实施和效果。

This mixed-method study aims to investigate science students’ motivational orientations and their self-perceived experiences contributing to self-determination in EFL reading at a secondary school in Thailand. Drawing upon the questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, the findings revealed that the overall science students’ EFL reading motivations were moderate. Each of their motivational orientations was ranked as follows: identified regulation (ID), intrinsic motivation (IM), external regulation (ER), introjected regulation (IJ), and amotivation (AM), accordingly. ID, a motivational orientation with regard to autonomous motivation, seemed to best correspond with the science students’ perceptions. They also valued the influence of social-contextual variables (i.e., families, peers, and teachers) as relatively important to their behavioural control toward EFL reading (ER and IJ). This study offers pedagogical implications to improve science students’ EFL reading motivation.
本研究旨在探讨泰国一所中学理科生的动机取向及其自我知觉经验对英语阅读自我决定的影响。通过问卷调查和半结构化访谈,研究发现理科生的英语阅读动机总体上是中等的。他们的动机取向依次为:识别调节(ID)、内在调节(IM)、外部调节(ER)、内源性调节(IJ)和激励(AM)。与自主动机相关的动机取向ID似乎最符合理科生的认知。他们还重视社会背景变量(即家庭、同伴和教师)对他们对英语阅读的行为控制的影响(ER和IJ)。本研究对提高理科生的英语阅读动机具有教学意义。

The study compares English dependent prepositions of the verbs agree, apply, and die shown in English language coursebooks and a corpus. It also suggests English prepositional verbs and their dependent prepositions that are suitable for teaching to L1 Thai learners and a method that should be employed for the instruction. The data were collected from four English language students’ books used by many upper secondary schools in Thailand and the British National Corpus. The findings demonstrate that the coursebooks offer nearly all of the most frequent dependent prepositions of the verbs with scant sentence examples and collocations, while the corpus reveals more dependent prepositions with numerous sentence examples and collocations. Further, the corpus data provide many noun collocates that can be arranged into themes according to their semantic preferences. It is advisable that the coursebooks and corpus data should be used in Thai EFL class to complement each other. The most frequent constructions should also be taught as phraseology through indirect access to data-driven learning, with suggested inductive activities and examples of simplified key word in context concordances.
本研究比较了英语教材和语料库中出现的动词agree、apply和die的英语依存介词。本文还提出了适合于泰语学习者的英语介词动词及其相关介词的教学方法。数据收集自泰国许多高中使用的四本英语学生书籍和英国国家语料库。研究结果表明,教科书提供了几乎所有最常见的动词依赖介词,但很少有句子示例和搭配,而语料库显示了更多的依赖介词,但有大量的句子示例和搭配。此外,语料库数据提供了许多名词搭配,可以根据其语义偏好排列成主题。在泰语教学中,教材和语料库数据应相辅相成。最常见的结构也应该通过间接访问数据驱动的学习来教授短语,并建议归纳活动和在上下文一致性中简化关键词的例子。

This study explored epistemic beliefs held by Mainland Chinese learners of English. Studies that investigate language learners’ personal epistemologies, which include beliefs about the nature of knowledge and the process of knowing, are scarce. For the most part, such studies are quantitative. This paper employed Q methodology, an approach that blends quantitative and qualitative research paradigms, to present a more systematic analysis of and deeper insights into the language learners’ subjective opinions. The participants were 20 undergraduate students who learned English in a university in China. They sorted 42 statements pertaining to language-related epistemic beliefs on a grid ranging from -5 (most disagree) to +5 (most agree). During the factor analytic procedure similar Q-sorts formed three factors, each representing a unique set of epistemic beliefs shared by the students. The qualitative interpretation of these factors revealed the following viewpoints: firstly, learning the English language requires time, effort and perseverance; secondly, learning English requires critical thinking; thirdly, it requires talent and hard work. Pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed.
本研究探讨了中国大陆英语学习者的认知信念。研究语言学习者的个人认识论,包括对知识的本质和认识过程的信念,很少。在大多数情况下,这类研究都是定量的。本文采用定量和定性研究范式相结合的Q方法论,对语言学习者的主观观点进行了更系统的分析和更深入的了解。参与者是20名在中国一所大学学习英语的本科生。他们对42个与语言相关的认知信念的陈述进行了排序,从-5(最不同意)到+5(最同意)。在因子分析过程中,相似的q -排序形成了三个因子,每个因子代表了学生共有的一套独特的认知信念。对这些因素的定性解释揭示了以下观点:第一,学习英语需要时间、努力和毅力;其次,学习英语需要批判性思维;第三,它需要天赋和努力。讨论了这些发现的教学意义。

The aim of this study is to analyze spoken linguistic features of three-minute startup pitches. Linguistic features analyzed included discourse markers, dysfluency, modality, numeral phrases, pronouns, reduced forms, repetitions, rhetorical questions, vague expressions, and vocatives. The corpus is comprised of 92 startup pitches delivered in real time at a pitching competition as part of an international technology conference. The pitches were transcribed, and linguistic features were identified with the aid of concordance software. Results from the analysis of linguistic features show that startup pitches contain aspects typically found in spoken genres, reflecting orthographic transcription, real time, shared context, interactivity and style.

This study was conducted to examine Thai EFL graduate students’ perceptions towards reflective dialogue journal writing (RDJW), their writing fluency as well as self-awareness of their own English language learning and writing development. Thirty-four Thai graduate students aged 23 to 39 were required to carry out the RDJW task for 13 weeks – one journal entry per week. The teacher provided feedback to each journal entry on its content to which the students replied in a dialogic manner. After having completed 13 journal entries, the students completed a questionnaire and were interviewed individually. In addition, focus group discussions were implemented. The students’ writing fluency was also assessed quantitatively through a product-based indicator. The findings of the study revealed that the students viewed RDJW as a means to engage a student and the teacher in a two-way communication as they exchanged information without worrying about making or correcting errors in the writing. The students also reported an improvement in their writing fluency since their journal entries were longer and they could communicate their thoughts and feelings more easily. A paired t-test confirmed the significant gains in terms of the number of words written in the journals. RDJW also served as students’ reflection which heightened the awareness of their own English language learning and writing development.
本研究旨在调查泰国英语研究生对反思性对话日志写作(RDJW)的看法,他们的写作流畅性以及他们自己的英语语言学习和写作发展的自我意识。34名年龄在23岁到39岁之间的泰国研究生被要求进行为期13周的RDJW任务——每周写一篇日志。老师就每一篇日志的内容提供反馈,学生们以对话的方式回答。在完成13篇日记后,学生们完成了一份问卷,并接受了单独的采访。此外,还进行了焦点小组讨论。通过基于产品的指标对学生的写作流畅性进行定量评估。研究结果表明,学生们将RDJW视为一种让学生和老师进行双向交流的手段,因为他们可以交换信息,而不必担心写作中的错误。学生们还报告说,他们的写作流畅性也有所提高,因为他们的日记记录更长了,他们可以更容易地交流自己的想法和感受。配对t检验证实了在期刊中写作字数方面的显著增长。RDJW也是学生的反思,提高了他们对自己英语学习和写作发展的认识。
{"title":"An Exploratory Study of Reflective Dialogue Journal Writing of EFL Graduate Students in the English as a Foreign Language Context","authors":"Reongrudee Maneepakhathorn","doi":"10.61508/refl.v30i1.264474","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61508/refl.v30i1.264474","url":null,"abstract":"This study was conducted to examine Thai EFL graduate students’ perceptions towards reflective dialogue journal writing (RDJW), their writing fluency as well as self-awareness of their own English language learning and writing development. Thirty-four Thai graduate students aged 23 to 39 were required to carry out the RDJW task for 13 weeks – one journal entry per week. The teacher provided feedback to each journal entry on its content to which the students replied in a dialogic manner. After having completed 13 journal entries, the students completed a questionnaire and were interviewed individually. In addition, focus group discussions were implemented. The students’ writing fluency was also assessed quantitatively through a product-based indicator. The findings of the study revealed that the students viewed RDJW as a means to engage a student and the teacher in a two-way communication as they exchanged information without worrying about making or correcting errors in the writing. The students also reported an improvement in their writing fluency since their journal entries were longer and they could communicate their thoughts and feelings more easily. A paired t-test confirmed the significant gains in terms of the number of words written in the journals. RDJW also served as students’ reflection which heightened the awareness of their own English language learning and writing development.","PeriodicalId":36332,"journal":{"name":"rEFLections","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135950541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
