“…Thus, the R&G taxonomy of learning difficulty seemingly did not prove useful in predicting learners' implicit or explicit knowledge of the targeted L2 grammar points. This differs somewhat from previous studies in which the same taxonomy was employed successfully to differentiate between higher and lower explicit learning difficulty (Thepseenu & Roehr, 2013;Ziętek & Roehr, 2011). It is not possible to conclude from the available evidence whether the proposed criteria for determining learning difficulty themselves were inadequate for the more detailed predictions of rank orders of learning difficulty and performance on measures of both implicit and explicit knowledge as required in the present study, or whether the small group of participating applied linguists (n=3) was unable to use the criteria accurately for these purposes.…”

This paper draws on an approach that conceptualizes L2 learning difficulty in terms of implicit and explicit knowledge. In a study with L1 Mexican Spanish university-level learners (n=30), their teachers (n=11) and applied linguistics experts (n=3), we investigated the relationship between (a) these groups' difficulty judgements of 13 selected L2 English structures and (b) perceived learning difficulty and learners' actual performance on measures of implicit and explicit knowledge. Our findings show that experts' learning difficulty judgements did not lead to significant predictions, while the learners' own difficulty rankings correlated significantly with their performance on the measure of explicit knowledge.Although correlations based on teachers' difficulty rankings did not reach statistical significance, the judgements of this group were the only ones which showed trends towards successful prediction of learners' performance on both the implicit and the explicit L2 measures. Thus, the teachers exhibited a trend towards the best overall prediction ability.

“…The methodological basis for the pedagogical experiment was the "inverted lesson" method (this is a teaching model in which the teacher provides material for self-study at home, while in-person training takes place in practice. Inverted education is characterized by the use of vodcast, podcast, and pre-vodcast) (Cheng, Huang & Lin, 2012;Ziętek & Roehr, 2011), the case study method with the preparation of individual and/or group reporting presentations (Siegle, 2010) and the portfolio method for monitoring and fair evaluation of student achievement (Oliynyk, 2004). Of the wide range of cloud technologies, we mainly used Moodle platform, Google Drive, Google Docs, Power Point and Google Image, Google Search and Skype.…”

The objective of this study was to find out how effective the use of cloud technologies is in the formation and development of critical thinking in future lawyers. An experimental model using cloud technologies was tested in training courses in the special (Civil Law, Fundamentals of Administrative Law) and general (English for Specific Purposes, Business English) subjects of the educational professional programme for training specialists of Specialty 081 “Law”.The method of test control and the method of component analysis were used to diagnose the level of academic performance of students selected for the pedagogical experiment in the training courses. To accomplish the research objectives, the results of the author’s tests (seven control points) performed by students of both groups. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0.0.1 software was used to analyse the quantitative data. Two-tailed P-value and Student’s t test were calculated for statistical processing of experimental data.The study showed the effectiveness of the use of cloud technologies for the formation and development of critical thinking in future lawyers. The authors conclude that the use of cloud technologies in the professional and linguistic training of lawyers also facilitates feedback, which increases students’ educational motivation and allows for monitoring changes in students’ personality development.

“…''Metalinguistic awareness'' and ''metalinguistic knowledge'' are other terms which denote a similar meaning (Roehr and Gánem-Gutiérrez 2009;Ziętek and Roehr 2011). According to Renou (2001, p. 248), metalinguistic awareness is defined as ''conscious knowledge of the formal aspects of the target language (e.g.…”

The series brings together volumes dealing with different aspects of learning and teaching second and foreign languages. The titles included are both monographs and edited collections focusing on a variety of topics ranging from the processes underlying second language acquisition, through various aspects of language learning in instructed and non-instructed settings, to different facets of the teaching process, including syllabus choice, materials design, classroom practices and evaluation. The publications reflect state-of-the-art developments in those areas, they adopt a wide range of theoretical perspectives and follow diverse research paradigms. The intended audience are all those who are interested in naturalistic and classroom second language acquisition, including researchers, methodologists, curriculum and materials designers, teachers and undergraduate and graduate students undertaking empirical investigations of how second languages are learnt and taught.
