“…Learning to write in another language is a daunting task for most English language learners because of the complex interplay of various cognitive, linguistic, and psychological factors (Berdanier & Lenart, 2020). Thus, English language learners often find it challenging to improve their writing skills in comparison with their listening, speaking, and reading skills (Hyland, 2003).…”

Toward a Motivation-Regulated Learner Engagement WCF Model of L2 Writing Performance

Research has shown that the effectiveness of written corrective feedback (WCF) on writing performance depends on learners’ engagement with WCF and its associated motivational state. However, little research has examined the inner causal relationships between motivation, learner engagement with WCF, and writing performance. The current study fills the void in the existing literature by taking a structural equation modeling approach as the methodological framework. Two independent Chinese undergraduate samples partook in the pilot and formal phases of the study. The results showed that cultivation of an ideal self-image significantly promoted both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and enhanced learners’ engagement with WCF, but ought-to self-image was found to have no such effects. Furthermore, both intrinsic motivation and learner engagement with WCF could directly influence writing scores, with the latter being more explanatory than the former. The implications of the research findings are provided and discussed.

This study focuses on the challenges and prospects of engineering procurement in Nigeria. The research examines the existing literature on engineering procurement practices, identifies gaps in knowledge, and explores potential areas for improvement. Through a comprehensive review, key findings emerge, highlighting limited research specific to engineering procurement in Nigeria and a lack of empirical studies on project performance and outcomes. Moreover, the literature review reveals a need for more research on engineering procurement projects' socio-economic and environmental impacts. The implications of these findings underscore the need for targeted research, enhanced data collection, and monitoring mechanisms to evaluate project performance accurately. Additionally, the study emphasises the importance of considering the broader socio-economic and environmental implications for sustainable development. Overall, this study serves as a foundation for advancing the understanding of engineering procurement in Nigeria and offers insights for policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners in the field.

“…Academic writing stands as a fundamental skill that significantly influences both academic and professional accomplishments. Nonetheless, mastering academic writing often poses a daunting challenge for students due to various factors such as cognitive load, academic norms, and linguistic proficiency (Berdanier & Lenart, 2020). Authors are required to adeptly structure their thoughts, effectively articulate their viewpoints, and adhere to academic writing conventions which include the use of formal language, sophisticated sentence structures, and specific academic discourse markers.…”

This study investigates the effectiveness of using an H5P pathway to enhance college students' academic style in writing. The study was conducted at XJTLU, a Sino-foreign university, where the language barriers of first-year students posed difficulties in their transition from informal language to the formal tone required in academic writing. Through a careful experimental design, participants were assigned to either an experimental or a control group, with the former engaging in a structured H5P pathway including five specific academic writing style rules based on learner needs analysis. The five rules are in aspects of word choice, sentence structure, transition, hedging and redundancy. The latter received lesson PPTs with the same content. This paper discusses the results of the study, which show that the application of the H5P pathway effectively assisted Year 1 students at XJTLU in narrowing the gap between the two writing styles. Preliminary analysis indicates a significant improvement in the experimental group's academic writing style specifically in aspects of using formal words and complex sentence structure. By comparison, other than word choice, there is no significant improvement in the control group. The findings of this study highlight the potential of H5P pathways as an effective tool for enhancing college students' academic writing style. Through interactive and tailored activities, students’ challenges at academic writing conventions could be addressed. This research provides implications for innovative pedagogical strategies that can promote students' academic development.
