To share knowledge in the academic world, researchers
might need to publish their research articles (RAs) in
high-impact journals. And, to do that, they should improve
their writing skills. Many investigations have analyzed the
distribution of metadiscourse markers in RA, but no study
has yet investigated the use of metadiscourse markers in
RAs abstracts of applied linguistics. To bridge this gap, the
present study has analyzed distribution of metadiscourse
markers in 125 RA abstracts, which were extracted from five
main journals. Findings show the high frequency of transitions
and large use of hedges in the abstracts analyzed. Academic
writing instruction is then claimed to be of utmost importance
for novice authors taking graduate and post-graduate courses.

Translanguaging has been gaining prominence as a way to understand multilingual practices; however, there are still questions to be answered regarding its application in various educational contexts. This study investigates the significance of translanguaging by comparing discourses in classes being taught by the same teacher, and in situations where students are expected to learn English as an additional language. Data have included screen recordings as well as teacher and student interviews.

Fricatives are consonants with the characteristic that
air escapes through a narrow passage and makes a hissing
sound. The dental fricatives are sometimes described as if the
tongue were placed between the front teeth, and it is common
for teachers to make their students do this when they are
trying to teach them the sound. The thing is, however, that the
tongue is normally placed behind the teeth; the air escapes
through the gaps between the tongue and the teeth. There is
a distiction between fortis (unvoiced) fricatives, as in the word
“thin”, and lenis (voiced) fricatives, as in “thus”. (Roach 2003)

Since ChatGPT can engage in conversation and
generate essays and graphs that closely resemble those
created by humans, educators worry students may use it
to cheat. The main reason students cheat is their academic
motivation. Sometimes they are just motivated to get a high
grade, whereas other times they wish to learn all that they
can about a topic. The decision to cheat or not often relates
to how academic assignments and tests are constructed and
assessed, not on the availability of technological shortcuts.
Research demonstrates that students are more likely to
cheat when assignments are designed in ways that encourage
them to outperform their classmates. There is less cheating
when teachers assign academic tasks that prompt them to
work collaboratively and to focus on mastering content instead
of getting a good grade.
An important way to boost students’ confidence is to
provide them with opportunities to experience success. For
example, suppose students are asked to attempt to design
a hypothetical vehicle that can use gasoline more efficiently
than a traditional car. Students who struggle with the project
can use ChatGPT to break down the larger problem into
smaller challenges or tasks. ChatGPT might suggest they first
develop an overall concept for the vehicle before determining
the size and weight of the vehicle and deciding what type
of fuel will be used. Teachers could also ask students to
compare the steps suggested by ChatGPT with steps that are
recommended by other sources.

Many assumptions of a communicative orientation
towards language teaching need questioning in a global
context. Ozóg (1989) discusses the idea of the ‘information
gap’, which is supposed to induce students to speak. ‘Are we
as Europeans’, he asks, ‘not making a cultural assumption
that speakers the world over are uneasy in silence and that
they have an overwhelming desire to fill gaps which occur
in natural discourse?’ (p.399). Silence is a salient feature of
conversation in the Malay world, he points out, a feature that
has also been noted in Japan and a number of other cultures.
Indeed, the whole question of requiring others to speak
needs to be questioned in terms of both cultural and gender
differences. The point here is not to exoticize some notion
of cultural difference, but rather to suggest that language is
a cultural practice, that both language and thinking about
language are always located in very particular social,
cultural and political contexts. How language (including
silence, paralanguage, and so on) is used, therefore, differs
extensively from one context to another, and thus any
approach to language teaching based on one particular
view of language may be completely inapplicable in another
context. If particular language teaching practices (advertised
and exported as the best, newest and most scientific) support
certain views of language, then such practices clearly present
a particular cultural politics and make the English language
classroom a site of struggle over different ways of thinking
about and dealing with language.

“It’s a very nice book and very lively, but in the section on
‘Processes’ for example all the exercises are about unusual
things for our country. We are a hot country and also have
many Muslims. The exercises are about snow, ice, cold
mornings, and making wine. I can tell you I can’t do making
wine and smoking pot in my country!” (Experienced school
teacher from the Ivory Coast, Africa)
“Previous materials were not based on life in Brazil which
is why I don’t think they worked very well …” (Brazilian teacher
of English in school)
“Sir … what is opera?” (Iraqi student in mixed nationality
class using materials designed to practise reading narrative)
The implications of these three quotations are not simply
linguistic; rather, they address the problem of appropriate
contextual realisation for materials. For the teacher in the
Ivory Coast, the materials offered would be outside the cultural
experience of his students (possibly even threatening) and
thus effectively useless; conversely, for the Brazilian teacher,
the choice of Brazilian settings and familiar mores would have clear advantages over distant foreign contexts as they are
essentially more motivating. The quote from the Iraqi student
suggests that complete unfamiliarity with the notion of opera
may reduce the efficacy of the reading exercises, but in this
case the student is curious and likely to regard the material as
exotic rather than merely alien.

things for our country. We are a hot country and also have
many Muslims. The exercises are about snow, ice, cold
mornings, and making wine. I can tell you I can’t do making
wine and smoking pot in my country!” (Experienced school
teacher from the Ivory Coast, Africa)
“Previous materials were not based on life in Brazil which
is why I don’t think they worked very well …” (Brazilian teacher
of English in school)
“Sir … what is opera?” (Iraqi student in mixed nationality
class using materials designed to practise reading narrative)
The implications of these three quotations are not simply
linguistic; rather, they address the problem of appropriate
contextual realisation for materials. For the teacher in the
Ivory Coast, the materials offered would be outside the cultural
experience of his students (possibly even threatening) and
thus effectively useless; conversely, for the Brazilian teacher,
the choice of Brazilian settings and familiar mores would have clear advantages over distant foreign contexts as they are
essentially more motivating. The quote from the Iraqi student
suggests that complete unfamiliarity with the notion of opera
may reduce the efficacy of the reading exercises, but in this
case the student is curious and likely to regard the material as
exotic rather than merely alien.
