An inquiry method for critical thinking instruction in the Iranian EFL context
Critical thinking (CT) is universally identified as an increasingly important skill for the 21st-century learning. Instruction of CT in public schooling is frequently discussed as a central aim all around the world. However, the latest (2011) version of Iran’s national curriculum does not adequately address the inclusion of CT components. Iranian English teachers, similar to teachers around the world where education systems do not support the dev…
A qualitative analysis of the effect of group oral presentation and peer assessment on EFL learners’ self-efficacy

A model of the factors predicting English language teacher immunity
Language teacher immunity, recently put forth by Hiver and Dornyei (2015), refers to “a robust armoring system that emerges in response to high-intensity threats and allows teachers to maintain professional equilibrium and instructional effectiveness” (Hiver, 2017, p. 669). Due to the pure novelty of this construct, its significance to the practice of teaching and rarity of research on it, the present study aimed to develop a model on the predict…
A Bourdieusian analysis of the educational field and professional identity of EFL teachers
Purpose Informed by the Bourdieusian construct of the social field, the purpose of this paper is to explore how different aspects of the educational field and the sub-field of English language teaching in Iran influence diverse components of the professional identity of high school EFL teachers. To this aim, the impact of the power hierarchization structure, distribution of capitals and field autonomy, as important aspects of the social field the…
Reliable Measure of Written Receptive Vocabulary Size
This study investigates the correlations between the three measures of written receptive vocabulary size and second language (L2) depth of vocabulary knowledge to find the most reliable test of vocabulary size. Moreover, the corresponding relationship is examined for the higher and lower word-frequency bands of the three tests to find whether the correlation between the two constructs differs as a function of frequency level and task format. In s…
Strategies for testing statistical and practical significance in detecting DIF with logistic regression models
This study examines three controversial aspects in differential item functioning (DIF) detection by logistic regression (LR) models: first, the relative effectiveness of different analytical strategies for detecting DIF; second, the suitability of the Wald statistic for determining the statistical significance of the parameters of interest; and third, the degree of equivalence between the main DIF classification systems. Different strategies to t…
