Plásticos, abordagens do ciclo de vida e a lei
O artigo argumenta que o uso atual de plásticos é insustentável e prejudicial à saúde humana e planetária devido à sua linearidade, desde a produção a partir de combustíveis fósseis até o descarte inadequado. Defende uma abordagem de governança inovadora baseada em sistemas e na ecologia industrial, considerando todo o ciclo de vida dos plásticos para garantir a retenção de materiais em uma economia circular
A comparative study of introductory it in research articles across eight disciplines
This paper presents a corpus-based analysis of the form, function, and frequency of introductory it plus that-clause and to-clause complementation. These structures are said to be particularly important in academic English. We examined disciplinary variation in 288 research articles across eight disciplines, four science and four non-science — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Business, Language and Linguistics, Law, and Public …

Student language learning strategies across eight disciplines
The research on which this article reports investigated the use of 50 common second language learning strategies by 1,006 EAP (English for Academic Purposes) students across eight disciplines – building, business, computing, engineering, English, maths, primary education, and science – in a university in Hong Kong. The study compared and contrasted strategy use across disciplines and also examined the relationships among strategy use, L2 proficie…

Match or mismatch? Learning styles and teaching styles in EFL
Learning styles are a student's “natural, habitual and preferred ways” of absorbing and processing a second language. This study investigated Reid's (1987) hypothesis that a mismatch between teaching and learning styles causes learning failure, frustration and demotivation. Data were collected through Reid's questionnaire, interviews and tests using 206 EFL students and 46 EFL teachers at a Hong Kong university. It was found that learners favoure…
Pre-service ESL teachers' beliefs about second language learning
Beliefs about language learning and their relationship to proficiency
This paper reports on a study that investigated the beliefs about language learning of 202 EFL students and 45 EFL teachers in the Department of English at the City University of Hong Kong. The primary aim of the study was to determine if the differences between student and teacher beliefs about language learning affect proficiency. Secondary aims were to develop hypotheses about the origins of Chinese learner beliefs about language learning, and…
Exploring the gap between teachers' and learners' beliefs about ‘useful’ activities for EFL
Do learner beliefs match teacher beliefs concerning which activities are useful for EFL? Several studies in recent years have tried to answer this question: almost all have reported that learners favour ‘traditional’, and teachers ‘communicative’, activities. However, few studies have tried to answer the important questions of why the differences occur, whether they affect learning, and how they can be eliminated. The aim of the present study was…
Comparing learner and teacher views on the usefulness and enjoyableness of materials
Although many authors have asserted that learner opinions about materials should be incorporated into lesson planning, little has been done to measure and then ascertain the correlation between learner and teacher views on the appropriacy and enjoyableness of the materials utilised in class. This article reports on a classroom research project undertaken to check this correlation. Two South Korean university EFL classes took part in the study. So…
