Education lecturers’ expectations about writing proficiency
Tracking the development in second language writers’ use of academic vocabulary in discipline-specific assignments
Few longitudinal studies have examined the development of second language (L2) writers’ use of academic vocabulary in discipline-specific assignments. This study tracked the use of expert vocabulary and proficient novice vocabulary in assignments written by 230 L2 writers across two semesters of postgraduate study in Education and Engineering programs. Gardner and Davies’s (2014) Academic Vocabulary List (AVL) and Malmström et al.’s (2018) Produc…
Operationalising critical thinking in postgraduate disciplinary writing
Research has revealed that critical thinking (CT) can predict undergraduate academic performance well. It is essential for nurturing students’ unique voice and creativity, especially in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs). LLMs can generate linguistically complex texts, potentially overshadowing students’ authorial voices—particularly those still developing language skills and domain-specific knowledge. Despite this, research on CT within sub…
Introducing MultilingProfiler
Vocabulary profiling with computational tools and word lists is an established step in the development of pedagogical materials for learners of English. However, existing tools and word lists lack sensitivity to the orthographical, morphological, and grammatical systems of highly-inflected and declined languages. This limits the degree to which lexical profiling can be usefully implemented in the creation of materials intended for use with beginn…
