Abstract Scientific progress depends on the integrity of data and research findings. Intentionally distorting findings constitutes scientific misconduct introduces falsehoods into record. Unintentional distortions arising from questionable practices (QRPs), such as unsystematically deleting outliers, pose similar obstacles to knowledge advancement. To investigate extent QRPs in quantitative applied linguistics research, we surveyed 351 linguists who conduct about their related handling...
Abstract Research on second language (L2) collaborative writing (CW) has proliferated over the recent decade and will continue to bloom due changing landscape of learning in digital age. This article provides a research agenda CW L2 classrooms. We illustrate six themes for future inquiry by pointing out gap, following brief review theoretical frameworks existing empirical efforts CW. then expound specific tasks that we deem be pressing this domain progress, including more attention...
Current research has reported that obesity is a chronic inflammatory state, which closely related with excessive accumulation of free fatty acid, while the specific mechanism high level FFA causes inflammation not very clear. Thus, our intended to observe effects on TLR9/KLF4 expression and downstream factors, explore response suppressed by TLR9/KLF4.qRT-PCR Western blot were used detect mRNA protein levels TLR9, KLF4, key inflammation-related factors. ELISA was release cytokines. The...
To investigate the role and possible molecular mechanism of Krüppel-like factor 7 (KLF7) in TLR4/NF-κB/IL-6 inflammatory signaling pathway activated by free fatty acids (FFA).The mRNA protein expression levels KLF7 factors signal pathways were detected qRT-PCR Western blotting after cell culture with different concentrations palmitic acid (PA). The or TLR4 adipocytes was upregulated downregulated; that, these key detected. downregulated while PA stimulated adipocytes, then expressions...
Abstract For over 30 years, corpus research on register variation has expanded our understanding of language use by illustrating how linguistic features co-occur and vary in different situations ( Biber & Conrad 2019 ). Over the same period, Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) provided a theoretical empirical basis for instructed Second Acquisition/SLA Ellis 2012 This paper illustrates methods approaches used analysis offer useful framework critical issues TBLT (e.g., describing tasks...
Although ‘stance’ and ‘evaluation’ are closely related theoretical constructs, they have typically been analysed in fundamentally different ways. Stance is normally described terms of explicit lexico-grammatical features. As a result, stance has studied through corpus-based methods that result generalisable descriptions registers. In contrast, evaluative language regarded as implicit context-dependent. analyses focussed on the connotations particular words phrases, or detailed texts (rather...
Despite previous research suggesting that first language (L1) use fulfills important functions in collaborative writing (CW) tasks, has yet to examine whether L1 or second (L2) may lead variation the lexico-grammatical aspects of learners’ texts and pair talk. Using a corpus-based approach, this study examined how interacting L2 during CW tasks influenced features co-constructed focus areas their The results suggest interaction significantly facilitates production typical academic texts....
Abstract Despite the solid evidence that online collaborative writing (CW) tasks benefit language learning, little is known about whether computer‐mediated communication (CMC) modality may impact potential of CW in foreign classrooms. This study examined effect task on utility Fourteen Chinese as a (CFL) learners completed Google Docs‐based two modalities: A synchronous CMC entailing video‐chatting Zoom and an asynchronous where interacted Docs with delayed time. Through analyzing multiple...
Pair dynamics has received much attention in collaborative writing (CW) research. Prior research on the link between pair and L2 learning opportunities (often operationalized as language related episodes; LREs) CW primarily focused quantity, length, outcome of LREs, but rarely considered quality LREs. Also, scarce fluctuating nature its impact opportunities. This study employs an approach detecting that accounts for fluid to investigate how learners’ collaboration various aspects may...
Previous research has noted an increased attention to language form as one of the many benefits collaborative writing (CW). Although prior studies have investigated different variables (e.g. proficiency, pre-task modelling) promote (often operationalized a language-related episode, LRE), crucial yet underexplored variable is whether shared native affects LRE use during CW. Researching this question informs understanding how L1 influences potential CW in L2 classrooms. The present study...
While much research supports the benefits of computer-mediated collaborative writing (CW) in second language (L2) classrooms, assessment CW has received scant attention. This study proposed an scheme considering both products and processes when assessing online synchronous CW, explored its effects on learners' interactions perceptions process-and-product-based approach through qualitative analyses. Through analyzing 21 dyads' pair talk revision histories tasks, post-task reflections,...
Stress-inducible interleukin 6 (IL-6) is generated in brown adipocytes via beta-3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) signaling, which necessary stress hyperglycemia, the kind of metabolic adaptation enabling "fight or flight" response by means liver gluconeogenesis. Nevertheless, mechanism ADRB3 signaling mediates IL-6 remains unclear. As a result, it critical to understand how produce signaling. We found that agonist and cold stimulation promoted expression KLF7 mice. In parallel these results...
Reading for writing tasks have been widely implemented in past decades, but research is still scarce on computer-mediated reading writing. With a growing interest collaborative and reading, spurred by the broader awareness of sociocultural theory nature digital technologies, we proposed an innovative task (CRW) it with graduate students diverse L1s U.S. The jointly read annotated journal articles via social annotation tool Perusall then co-constructed OASIS summaries based reading. This...
Abstract Prior research found that compared with individual writing, collaborative writing improves learner performance and facilitates development. However, it remains unknown whether collaboration may allow learners to tackle tasks of varying cognitive demands. This study examined the role task complexity in (CW) through (a) comparing how dyads performed demands (b) examining impacted pairs’ co-constructed texts. Sixty-nine Chinese junior high school English (14–16 years old) were divided...
