English language teachers' development of questioning skills
Given the challenging nature of effective teacher questioning, teachers often need support in asking more learning-conducive questions. However, little research has explored how professional development initiatives could contribute to language teachers’ effective questioning practices and the cognitions behind them. To address this gap, the present study explored the contributions of a classroom-based mentoring initiative to three Hong Kong Engli…

“Chinese city with Russian characteristics”
Harbin is a city in Northeast China that rose to prominence as a result of the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway in a context of Russian imperial expansion. Affectionately known as “the Moscow of the East,” Harbin’s history, architecture, food, and language bear strong Russian/Soviet influences. Given the joint Chinese and Russian/European influences, Harbin represents a dynamic, hybridized, and liminal space. Adopting the conceptual le…
Purpose‐Based Emotion Labor
Drawing on the literature on emotion labor, in this study, we propose the concept of purpose‐based emotion labor (PBEL) as an exploratory heuristic for (re)conceptualizing teacher emotion(s). PBEL is defined as engagement in purpose construction, invoked and shaped by personal, interpersonal, institutional, and sociocultural issues, as individuals navigate emotion labor to ultimately facilitate their professional development. We then present the …
Writing Teachers’ Emotion(s) and Agency in a Professional Development Course
Despite the growth of research on teachers’ professionalism, little is known about writing teachers’ emotion(s) and agency in professional development courses. The present study addressed this gap through a two‐stage project that first explored seven English language teachers’ emotion and agency construction in a teacher education course centering on argumentative writing and then followed these processes post‐course in relation to their writing …

Contributions of an emotion-oriented professional development course to the ecology of language teacher agency
Publishing in predatory language and linguistics journals
This study examines the experiences and motivations of language and linguistics academics who have published in potential predatory journals (PPJs). A questionnaire was administered to 2,793 academics with publications in 63 language and linguistics PPJs, and 213 of them returned their responses. A subsample of the respondents ( n = 21) also contributed qualitative data through semi-structured interviews or email responses to open-ended questions…
Citations and the Nature of Cited Sources
Extant scholarship on citation has examined a limited number of citational features, adopted disciplinary and ethnolinguistic perspectives disjunctively, and paid little systematic attention to the nature of cited sources. Drawing on appraisal theory, the present study investigated the nature of cited sources, namely personalization (i.e., whether humans are foregrounded as a cited source) and identification (i.e., whether and how the cited sourc…

Chinese university EFL teachers’ knowledge of and stance on plagiarism
Plagiarism has engendered increasing concern in academia in the past few decades. While previous studies have investigated student plagiarism from various perspectives, how plagiarism is understood and responded to by university teachers, especially those in English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) writing contexts, has been under-researched. As academic insiders and educators of future academics, university teachers play a key role in educating stude…

A cross-section of 136 sophomores and juniors were drawn from an English-medium and a parallel Chinese-medium program. Data included: (a) participants' scores on two national standardized English proficiency tests; (b) their English-related affect as measured by three scales adapted …

One of the better solutions to meet such demands is improving the government’s EGS capability (EGSC). However, few studies discuss the issues. The purpose of this study was to employ capability management perspectives to develop theoretical linkages and path relationships among the components of …

A sample of 270 undergraduates from two Chinese universities rated three short English passages under different conditions, provided open-ended responses to justify their ratings, and completed a written questionnaire. The rating tasks were designed to determine their ability to recognize two form…

Training Chinese ESL Student Writers for Effective Peer Review
Research on peer review has suggested that the pedagogical activity offers a wide range of potential benefits. The literature, however, has also documented various problems which can prevent its potential benefits from materializing in L2 writing classrooms. This paper presents instructional practices developed to prepare Chinese ESL learners for effective participation in peer review. It reviews the relevant literature, describes the instruction…
Pedagogical Practices in Chinese EFL Classrooms
In the last quarter century, English has been accorded increasing attention in China. It has been widely recognized that raising the national level of English proficiency is an important link in China’s modernization program. Consequently, efforts to improve the quality of English language teaching (ELT), especially at the secondary level, have been stepped up, leading to revamped curriculums, updated syllabuses, new textbooks, and a reformed exa…
