A qualitative study on the current status and needs of unintentional injury prevention and control interventions for children aged 3–12 in Guizhou Province, China
Background: Unintentional injuries are a leading cause of death and disability among children and adolescents worldwide, particularly in economically underdeveloped regions. Guizhou, an impoverished and multi-ethnic region in southwestern China, faces elevated risks due to limited healthcare resources and a high proportion of left-behind children. However, few studies have explored prevention and control needs from the perspective of target popul…
Exploring Rhetorical Relations in Multimodal Discourse Analysis of LMOOCs for English Learning on a Chinese Mooc Platform
English Language MOOCs (LMOOCs) employ multimodal resources to enhance second language learners’ engagement and motivation. This study examined the multimodal instructional discourse in English LMOOCs in a Chinese MOOC platform, focusing on the rhetorical relations between the linguistic mode, termed verbiage, and two non-linguistic modes, namely facial expressions and gestures. Employing Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) as its theoretical frame…
Straddling burnout and resilience: A Q methodology study among high school EFL teachers
Amidst the recent positive psychology trend, teacher resilience has captured increasing scholarly attention, while burnout remains a significant, negative construct in teachers’ emotional spectrum. Research on burnout and resilience among teachers teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) is especially scant. In this study, we explored the psychological profiles of 40 EFL teachers in terms of their experience of burnout and resilience. Q metho…
Profiling mediating factors in CSL learners’ willingness to communicate and talk realisation: An observation-enhanced repeated Q methodology study
The predictive roles of enjoyment, anxiety, willingness to communicate on students’ performance in English public speaking classes
Despite the extensive research on willingness to communicate in a second language (L2 WTC), foreign language anxiety (FLA), and foreign language enjoyment (FLE), few studies have tested the roles of these variables in predicting L2 learning outcomes. This line of inquiry is imperative, especially because the importance of L2 WTC primarily lies in its presumable role in enhancing L2 learning. This study examines how FLA, FLE, and L2 WTC predict En…
Motivational profiles of Chinese university students majoring in Spanish: A comparative study
Motivation to learn languages other than English (LOTEs) has been underrepresented in second language (L2) motivation research. This study investigated and compared the motivational profiles of first-year and second-year students majoring in Spanish, grounded on the proposition of bifurcating ideal and ought selves into Own and Other standpoints, and the importance of learning experience. The data were first collected using Q methodology from 27 …
Promoting EFL learners’ willingness to communicate through transmediation in a digital storytelling workshop
Technology-mediated communication has become ubiquitous and digital multimodal learning has been increasingly integrated into second language education. Drawing on the concepts of transmediation and interpretant in social semiotic theories, this study explores the potential of digital storytelling (DST) in promoting EFL learners’ willingness to communicate (WTC) through transmediation. A DST workshop was offered to 69 undergraduate students in Ch…
Student Engagement in the Language Classroom
Student engagement, while being a long-standing, established construct in educational psychology, has only recently gained the spotlight in the domain of applied linguistics. The field’s understanding of engagement is still at an embryonic stage despite the consensus of its essential role in learning process and achievement. This edited volume renders itself an important and timely contribution as it fruitfully demystifies engagement, the complex…
Unpacking EFL teachers' agency enacted in nested ecosystems in developing regions of Southern China
The critical role of teacher agency in curriculum reform among high school teachers remains under-researched. Drawing on an ecological perspective, this study investigated the difficulties senior high school EFL teachers faced and their agency enacted during the implementation of curriculum reform. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 senior high school EFL teachers in two developing regions of southern China, and qualitative content…
Feeling and acting in classroom teaching: The relationships between teachers’ emotional labor, commitment, and well-being
The teaching profession is considered highly emotionally demanding. While teachers’ emotional labor has been found to be related to their commitment and well-being, little is known about the nuanced interrelationships between these constructs within classroom contexts, and inquiry in this area has been dominated by quantitative methods without contextual support from qualitative data. This paper reports on a survey study conducted among 803 junio…

Metadiscourse and Voice Construction in Discussion Sections in BA Theses by Chinese University Students Majoring in English
Voice is considered essential in academic writing, and metadiscourse is an important device contributing to voice. This study explores the use of metadiscourse and voice construction in Bachelor of Arts (BA) theses written at the onset and final stages by university undergraduates majoring in English in China. A corpus consisting of the discussion sections in the first and final versions of 35 BA theses was built, annotated, and analyzed. Two aca…

The roles of multimodal pedagogic effects and classroom environment in willingness to communicate in English
Understanding Tefl Academics' Research Motivation and Its Relations With Research Productivity
Motivation is considered an important impetus driving and sustaining individuals' efforts to fulfill their goals. Against the backdrop that university academics worldwide are increasingly expected to produce research output in prestigious journals for both individual and institutional development, it is necessary to understand academics' research motivation and its relations with research productivity in international and local journals. This stu…
The Mediation of Multimodal Affordances on Willingness to Communicate in the English as a Foreign Language Classroom
Willingness to communicate (WTC) in a second language class has been shown to be transient and situation-dependent. Previous studies mostly elicited data from learners' self-reports through interviews or diaries, and the data analyses were largely confined to the medium of language, marginalizing other semiotic resources such as gesture or movement. The nature of human communication, however, is multimodal, which entails the processing of differe…

Willingness to Communicate in English: A Model in the Chinese EFL Classroom Context
This study involves a large-scale investigation of willingness to communicate (WTC) in Chinese English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms. A hypothesized model integrating WTC in English, communication confidence, motivation, learner beliefs, and classroom environment was tested using structural equation modeling. Validation of the measurements involved exploratory factor analyses on the dataset collected in a pilot study and confirmatory fac…
