Khezrlou, Sima – Language Awareness, 2023

Chen, Wenting – Language Awareness, 2023
While previous research has identified misalignment of L2 teachers' beliefs and practices on written corrective feedback (WCF), much remains to be known about whether and how writing teachers' beliefs may vary across contexts and evolve over time, as well as the extent to which their beliefs are manifested in their practice. To address this issue,…

Bergström, Denise; Norberg, Cathrine; Nordlund, Marie – Language Awareness, 2022

The course takes a functional approach to grammar based on systemic-functional linguistics and is typically the…

Otwinowska, Agnieszka – Language Awareness, 2017
The training of language teachers still follows traditional models of teachers' competences and awareness, focusing solely on the target language. Such models are incompatible with multilingual pedagogy, whereby languages are not taught in isolation, and learners' background languages are activated to enhance the process. When teaching…

Roothooft, Hanne; Breeze, Ruth – Language Awareness, 2016
A relatively small number of studies on beliefs about oral corrective feedback (CF) have uncovered a mismatch between teachers' and students' attitudes which is potentially harmful to the language learning process, not only because students may become demotivated when their expectations are not met, but also because teachers appear to be reluctant…
