Classroom assessment of group discussions in EAP: A model for test design
Kızılcık, Hale Hatice; Çopur, Deniz (null, 2020-03-01)
Although classroom assessment (CA) is considered low-stakes, assessments designed, executed and assessed by class teachers are used to make important educational decisions, and adopting a thorough approach to CA is vital to achieve positive educational outcomes. This study documents the development of a text discussion task intended to be used in an English for Academic Purposes course. Students are expected to discuss an assigned text in small groups.

This paper examines the effectiveness of analogies in the teaching and learning of the function concept. Our findings indicate that instructional analogies cannot support students' understanding of the functions unless students are given epistemologically appropriate analogues and illustrated the structural relations between the analogues and the targeted concepts. Provision of analogies to emphasize procedures, algebraic or otherwise, may confine students to a limited way of thinking about the concept.
Student Engagement in Blended Learning Environments with Lecture-Based and Problem-Based Instructional Approaches
Delialioğlu, Ömer (NATL YUNLIN UNIV SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, TAIWAN, NO 123, SECTION 3, DAXUE RD, DOULIU CITY, YUNKIN COUNTY 64002, TAIWAN, 2012-7)
This study investigates how blending of different instructional approaches with technology affects students' engagement. A computer networks course was designed and implemented for the first eight weeks of the semester as a lecture-based blended learning environment and for the second eight weeks of the semester as a problem-based blended learning environment. A single group repeated measures research design was carried out to understand if there are significant differences in measures of student engagement...
Text reading in English as a second language: Evidence from the Multilingual Eye-Movements Corpus
Kuperman, Victor; et. al. (2022-03-01)
Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called MECO L2 (Multilingual Eye Movements Corpus), a rich behavioral eye-tracking record of text reading in English as an L2 among 543 university student speakers of 12 different L1s. MECO L2 includes a test battery of com...
