I would like to thank my committee: Dr. Diana Boxer, Dr. Wind Cowles, Dr. Helene Blondeau, and Dr. Dorene Ross for guiding me through the dissertation process. Diana and Wind especially gave of their time, helping me set up the experiment, reading and commenting on drafts of chapters, and offering advice all along the way. The departmental chair at the college where I collected data was a great help in offering me the ideal location to execute my experiment, and I cannot thank enough the two professors who gave me not only class time but also encouragement and professional connections. I would also like to thank all of the participants who made this experiment possible, as well as the two speakers who provided the speech samples. This study would not have taken place had I not taught my wonderful students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I would like to thank them for believing in me as a teacher and for sparking my interest in this topic. Along the way I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis in my wrists, and without the hand-therapy care of Anne-Marie Muto and John Wyler I would not have been able to continue to type this work.

    Effects of Instruction on L2 Pronunciation Development: a Synthesis of 15 Quasiexperimental Intervention Studies

    RESEARCH ISSUES TESOL Quarterly publishes brief commentaries on aspects of qualitative and quantitative research. Edited by CONSTANT LEUNG King’s College London Effects of Instruction on L2 Pronunciation Development: A Synthesis of 15 Quasi- Experimental Intervention Studies KAZUYA SAITO Waseda University Tokyo, Japan doi: 10.1002/tesq.67 & Over the past 25 years second language (L2) acquisition research has paid considerable attention to the effectiveness of instruction on L2 morphosyntax development, and the findings of relevant empirical studies have been extensively summarized using narrative review meth- ods (e.g., Ellis, 2002) as well as meta-analytic review methods (e.g., Spada & Tomita, 2010). These researchers have reached a consensus that (a) integrating language focus into meaning-oriented classrooms is more effective than a purely naturalistic approach, and (b) contextu- alized grammar teaching methods (e.g., focus-on-form instruction, form-focused instruction) is more effective than decontexualized gram- mar teaching methods (e.g., focus-on-formS instruction, grammar- translation method). What is surprising in this vein of L2 acquisition studies, however, is the lack of research in the area of L2 pronuncia- tion development. Pronunciation teaching has been notorious for its overdependence on decontextualized practice such as mechanical drills and repetition, reminiscent of the audiolingual teaching meth- ods of several decades ago (for discussion, see Celce-Murcia, Brinton, Goodwin, & Griner, 2010). Furthermore, very few language teachers actually receive adequate training in the specific area of pronunciation teaching (Foote, Holtby, & Derwing, 2011). 842 TESOL QUARTERLY Vol. 46, No. 4, December 2012 © 2012 TESOL International Association In recent years, several researchers have made strong calls for research on teaching for intelligible (rather than native-like) pronunciation.

MOGOTSI Department of Social Sciences & Academic Literacy, Department of Social Sciences & Academic Literacy, Department of Social Sciences & Academic Literacy Botswana International University of Science & Technology, Botswana International University of Science & Technology, Botswana International University of Science& Technology E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - This paper discusses how the Coh-Metrix system was used to measurereadability levelsof comprehension texts used by the teachers of English for classroom instruction at a junior secondary school. The researchers wanted to determine if the comprehension texts match the readability level of students at this level of education. This is important because all the students atthe school are not native speakers of English. Therefore, they are learning English as a Second Language (ESL). However, the authors of the majority of the English textbooks used in schools are native speakers of English.The study was qualitative in design and five (5) comprehension passages used by English Language teachers for assessment purposes were selected for this study. The data derived were analysed qualitatively. The results showed that random selection of English Language comprehension texts without subjecting them to a readability test such as the Coh-Metrix may compromise the quality of learning. The results also showed that the readability level of textbooks may contribute to the poor performance of ESL learnersand other subject areas.

    L2 Literacies and Teachers' Work in the Context of High-Stakes School Reform

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Second Language Writing 17 (2008) 274–291 Teachers as critical text analysts: L2 literacies and teachers’ work in the context of high-stakes school reform Meg Gebhard a,*, Jan Demers b, Zoe¨ Castillo-Rosenthal b a University of Massachusetts, 74 January Hills Road, Amherst, MA 01002, United States b Amherst Public Schools, United States Abstract The authors describe the professional development of L1 and L2 teachers from a comprehensive theoretical perspective that focuses on literacy as a critical social practice, the construction of student/teacher knowledge, and institutional forces that support and/or constrain the academic literacy development of L2 students in the United States. The authors begin with an articulation of the theoretical framework guiding this discussion. Next, they describe how this perspective was enacted in a graduate program designed to support K-12 teachers in developing an understanding of theories, research, and practices that form a critical approach to L2 academic literacy development. Last, following Hyland (2003, 2007), the authors reflect on the challenges, and ultimately the necessity, of critically reconceptualizing L1 and L2 teacher education to include greater attention to genre theory and genre-based pedagogies. This call for a reconceptualization of teacher education in the United States is warranted because of the combined impact of economic, demographic, and educational policies shaping the work of teachers and the literacy practices of L2 students. # 2008 Elsevier Inc.

    Investigating the Reading-To-Write Construct

    Journal of English for Academic Purposes 7 (2008) 140e150 www.elsevier.com/locate/jeap Investigating the reading-to-write construct Yuly Asencio´n Delaney* Modern Languages Department, Northern Arizona University, Babbit Academic Annex, Office 202, Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6004, USA Abstract This study explored the extent to which the reading-to-write construct is the sum of one’s reading and writing abilities or an inde- pendent construct. The investigation included an analysis of (a) test tasks, (b) the relationship of test task scores and scores on reading and writing measures, and (c) the effects of proficiency level and educational level on reading-to-write performance. A sample of 139 participants performed two reading-to-write tasksda summary and a response essaydbased on the same source text. Results indicate that the test tasks were different dimensions of the reading-to-write ability, and that the reading-to-write ability seems to be a unique construct weakly associated with reading for comprehension and disassociated from writing an essay without background reading sup- port. In addition, it was found that language proficiency and educational level had a modest effect on the performance of the tasks. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Investigating the reading-to-write construct One of the primary tenets of communicative language learning has been the importance of integrative language tasks. This view has been reinforced by English for Specific Purposes (ESP) surveys showing that reading-to-write tasks are common in university settings (Bridgeman & Carson, 1983; Hale et al., 1996; Rosenfeld, Leung, & Oltman, 2001).

Nonstandard Dialects, Second Language Learning, *Social Dialects, Sociolinguistics, Standard Spoken Usage, *Tenl Identifiers- *Bidialectalism Discussed briefly by the author are some of the "most immediately relevant" implicationsfor TESOL which arise from research studiesindialectology. One phenomenon, which until recently has received little attention, is that of "receptive bi-dialectalism" or "bilingualism." One of the earliest observations of this phenomenon is a passage taken from the writing of Daniel Defoe in 1724. Anindividual, presented with a stimulus in one dialect and asked to repeat it,will respond by producing the form that is native to his own dialect rather than the form which he has heard(or read). The author feels that such evidence should give us pause in attempts toiudge a child's linguistic competence solely or evenlargely on the basis of his production; rather we should begin by attempting to assess the child's receptive competence as the basis from which to proceed in determining appropriate instructional procedures. If the child has an already well-developed receptive knowledge of a moreformal or "mainstream" dialect of the language, much of the instructional task can be seen as guiding him toward an automatic productive control of the "mainstream"dialect.

    An Investigation of Trends and Types of Research Over the Last Ten Years

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 30 November 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201911.0380.v1 Research in TESOL: An Investigation of Trends and Types of research over the Last Ten Years Waheeb Albiladi University of Arkansas [email protected] Abstract This paper provides a systematic review of the research around teaching English as a second or foreign language over the last ten years. The review aims to help second and foreign language researchers to recognize the trends that have impacted English teaching and learning research. More than 400 articles from four leading journals (TESOL Journal, TESOL Quarterly, ELT Journal, and Second Language Research) were reviewed to examine the trends and method that were used. The findings suggested that the research interests in the TESOL field have changed as many topics and trends have risen based on students’ academic and social needs. Topics such as teaching methodology, digital literacy, and using technology to teach English have dominated the research during the last decade.

Millions of people around the world are currently learning English for different purposes such as communicating, working, or pursuing a degree in one of the English-speaking countries. In fact, English is the most widely spoken language in the world, and the number of the non- native speakers who speak English as a foreign or as a second language exceeds that of the native speakers (Sharifian, 2013).
