This work investigates the development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ generic competence in reading, writing and translation within the particular Chinese classroom context. It provides a new perspective for the current teaching and research in reading, writing, translation within the EFL contexts and offers an insightful framework for pedagogical applications in language learning and teaching. Its findings will be extremely valuable not only in local situations, but also more generally in a wider regional and global context as well. The book employs a series of research tools, including pre-research and post-research questionnaires, pre-test and post-test of reading/writing/translation, multi-faceted writing portfolios (including reflection reports), textual analysis and in-depth interviews. It involves 209 participants from a primary university in Wuhan, among whom 171 are undergraduates and 38 are postgraduates. ​And it draws on the analysis of such varied multi-sourced data both qualitatively and quantitatively. Genre-based teaching is playing a critical role in initiating EFL learners into the discourse community of the target language. Developing EFL learners’ generic competence is viewed as the ultimate goal in the process of teaching and learning. This monograph effectively demonstrates that like genre-based English for Specific Purposes (ESP) pedagogies, it is also possible to take advantage of already acquired genre knowledge for use in EFL learning contexts. It offers an impressive view of the direction in which genre-based applications are likely to take in the coming years.

In the dynamic of constantly evolving field of foreign language instruction, marked by continuous advancements and growing difficulties, the need for innovation, teamwork, and adaptation becomes increasingly apparent. When educators, politicians, and scholars study language education, they realize that solving current problems demands a complete and all-encompassing strategy. Effective foreign language instruction requires a deep understanding of teaching methods, proficiency in modern teaching techniques, keeping up with technological advancements, recognizing cultural influences, and understanding the wide-ranging effects of policy decisions. Within this complex and diverse setting, educators have the responsibility of not only teaching language skills but also creating a conducive atmosphere that promotes creativity and facilitates cooperation. Policy Development, Curriculum Design, and Administration of Language Education unites a wide range of voices, viewpoints, and research methods to illuminate the complex difficulties encountered by language educators. The book provides insights that are applicable to different educational policies, and ongoing professional development for language instructors. Covering topics such as collaborative writing, linguistically responsive teachers, and second language teaching, this book is an excellent resource for scholars, researchers, language instructors, pre-service teachers, policymakers, administrators, and more.

Metacognitive Mindscapes written by Sin Wang Chong and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-09-20 with Education categories.

Synthesizing research on metacognition and intersecting it with studies on second and foreign language writing, Sin Wang Chong puts forward a conceptual framework of metacognition and metacognitive knowledge that is employed as an analytical lens to examine junior secondary EFL students’ writing proficiencies. The exploration takes into account three facets of metacognitive knowledge, namely person knowledge, task knowledge, and strategic knowledge. Based on data garnered from interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and think-aloud sessions with students, the book analyzes the three types of metacognitive knowledge – theorized as a system – of junior secondary students with high, average, and low writing proficiencies. Discussion of the findings offers an expanded understanding of the factors that potentially affect students’ writing proficiencies, which will inform the teaching of primary and secondary EFL writing teachers to be more learner-centered. The book will appeal to researchers and teachers interested in metacognition and metacognitive knowledge.

This monograph is to investigate practical applications and contributions of self-regulated learning (SRL) to second/foreign language (L2) writing from sociocognitive and sociocultural perspectives. It showcases a comprehensive and updated review of conceptual and methodological issues of SRL and the state-of-the-art research on its applications to L2 learning and teaching. This volume further elaborates the design and results of a large-scale project which conducts observational and intervention studies investigating SRL strategies in L2 writing. This book reveals that a cross-disciplinary understanding of SRL strategies plays a crucial role in advancing theoretical functions of SRL and in extending its applications to L2 education in general, and L2 writing in particular. This book makes significant contributions to developing and validating new conceptual frameworks and tools for evaluating multidimensional structures of SRL strategies and self-efficacy in L2 writing; elucidating the interplay of personal, behavioral, environmental and psychological factors with SRL strategies and writing performance; and presenting an effective self-regulation instructional model for nurturing L2 learners’ motivation and confidence to strategize, reflect and succeed in writing. Teng has established herself as one of the prominent scholars in the discussion of self-regulated learning strategies. Her contribution to the fields of L2 writing and strategic learning are undeniable. This monograph is an excellent showing of how her ​endeavors to bring established theories from educational psychology to applied writing research have progressed over a number of methodologically rigorous studies. It should be required reading for anyone with an interest in cultivating strategic writers not only in the Chinese context but worldwide. Nathan Thomas, UCL Institute of Education

This book provides critical perspectives on issues relating to writing norms and assessment, as well as writing proficiency development, and suggests that scholars need to both carefully examine testing regimes and develop research-informed perspectives on tests and testing practices. In this way schools, institutions of adult education and universities can better prepare learners with differing cultural experiences to meet the challenges. The book brings together empirical studies from diverse geographical contexts to address the crossing of literacy borders, with a focus on academic genres and practices. Most of the studies examine writing in countries where the norms and expectations are different, but some focus on writing in a new discourse community set in a new discipline. The chapters shed light on commonalities and differences between these two situations with respect to the expectations and evaluations facing the writers. They also consider the extent to which the norms that the writers bring with them from their educational backgrounds and own cultures are compromised in order to succeed in the new educational settings.

This book contributes to the field of L2 writing, with a focus on instruction in revision. Theoretically, this research provides a better understanding of students’ metacognitive knowledge about revision and their self-efficacy for text revision in EFL writing; such understanding is vital to make pedagogical connections between cognitive research, self-efficacy theory and instructional research in writing. Moreover, the designed questionnaire for data collection and analysis in this study can be employed as a diagnostic or consciousness-raising tool in the L2 writing classrooms or be used as a research tool to chart the development of students’ metacognitive knowledge about revision and self-efficacy for text revision over time to contribute to this line of research. Pedagogically, this study examined the effects of the SRSD model, an approach that has shown its effectiveness in improving learners’ metacognition and impacting their self-efficacy in both L1 and L2 writing, in the context of revision in an EFL context. Hence, it broadens the understanding of the feasibility and effectiveness of the SRSD model.
