Power Distance and Persuasion: A Study of Cultural Influences on Rhetorical Variation in EFL Essays
The prevalence of power distance in Confucian heritage contexts has been well documented, yet the impact of this cultural value on rhetoric has not been extensively explored. To address the gap in our current understanding of cultural influences on rhetoric, language to assert authority or make a proposition (modals and epistemic stances) and pronouns to express an author’s relationship with their reader (pronoun deixis) were tallied and statisti…
Is Confucianism compatible with autonomous learning? An investigation of cultural influences on self-regulated learning in China
Introduction Cultural values may impact how well a learner uses self-regulated learning strategies in Confucian contexts, yet research remains limited. Methods To address the gap in past research, surveys were given to 281 Chinese university students concerning preferences for Confucian values, self-regulated learning, and self-regulated use of technology. Confucian values were then statistically compared to preferences for self-regulated learnin…

Despite key similarities in perspective, narrators differ in how the external world reflects individual identity. In Open City, evil is not just an external concept. It is subc…
Defining Grammatical Difficulty to Make Better Choices about Corrective Feedback: A Meta-Analysis of Persian EFL Learners
Past experimental studies of corrective feedback (CF) have isolated factors like grammatical complexity, learner proficiency, and L1 one by one, carefully designing experiments that eliminate the influence of “extraneous” factors. Because each factor is actually codependent, more holistic study is needed. Eleven studies, all of which had English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners with a Persian L1 and productive measures of speech or writing, w…
