“…Through my analysis of the groups' comments and revision of the input texts based on Appendix 2, students' inadequate genre awareness was revealed -the same problems as what Alcon Soler (2005), Koike and Pearson (2005), and Dugartsyrenova (2016, cited Dugartsyrenova, 2020) pointed out. The grammatical accuracy of the mood structures and modal verbs were the main focus of the comments.…”

“…The findings from recent studies of genres and genre application in teaching revealed that raising learners' awareness of various genres is essential for their language skill development (Devitt, Reiff, & Bawarshi, 2004;Cheng, 2011Cheng, , 2015Yayli, 2011;Yasuda, 2011;Cozma, 2014;Johns, 2015;Tribble, 2015;Yasuda, 2015;Nagao, 2019;Dugartsyrenova, 2020). (Halliday, 1970), analyzing the language features of the texts only serves as a resource to realize different communicative purposes.…”

Recently, genre studies contribute not only to linguistic areas but also to the areas of language education. In language teaching and learning, developing learners’ awareness of various genres, especially those prevail in their future job contexts, is essential in the sense that learners could be better prepared to successfully produce texts of the same genres when required. In this study, genre-based activities (GBAs) were introduced to 40 third-year EFL students in two linguistic classes. The data collection was conducted via class interaction, assignment analysis and informal talks. The data analysis revealed that, despite some limitations in the intervention, GBAs had such positive effects on students’ development of reviewing skills in English writing as: students could link their text evaluation and revision to the contextual features, they tried to read extensively about the features of different genres, and accordingly, they could enhance their genre awareness, resulting in their better evaluation and revision of texts. However, it was found that unfamiliar genres might hinder the effects of GBAs. Texts elicited from students and multimodal texts were more appropriate inputs for novice genre analysts.

“…Among all the effectiveness studies on instructional approaches in online or blended learning, almost 30% of them paid attention to English writing, and the instructional approach included online academic writing tutors, automated online form of strategy instruction, online flipped writing, courseware-implemented task-based instruction, online indirect data-driven learning, computer-mediated collaborative writing, online film clip watching and writing, integration of online learner-centered blogging approach, and online corrective feedback. Qualitative progression or positive enhancement was confirmed with regard to the effectiveness of instructional approaches by nine scholars [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102]. The other two studies showed mixed outcomes due to students' learning proficiency and the types of online corrective feedback [103,104].…”

The ubiquitous impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have profoundly changed the education sector and marked research interest in online or blended learning can be witnessed. As a pervasive learning activity of paramount significance, online language learning has aroused widespread attention. Nonetheless, few systematic reviews concerning the effectiveness of online language learning have been published. With the help of CiteSpace, this study systematically investigated 103 included articles from the SSCI of empirical studies from 44 journals for the purpose of filling the research gap in this field, providing a better understanding of the research trends, exploring effective ways to implement online language courses, and testifying to the ability of CiteSpace to track research hotspots. The findings show that effectiveness studies on online language learning principally focus on assisted tools (42.72%), instructional approaches (36.89%), and specific courses (20.39%). Lack of adequate cooperation among research institutions and the dominant position of online English learning (82.52%) can be witnessed. Despite the small sample size of 103 included articles, the validation of CiteSpace in terms of tracking the research trends or hotspots is confirmed. However, the proportion of each research focus is not compatible with the results of a comprehensive full-text analysis. This literature review also probes into various methods to measure effectiveness more scientifically and effective ways to implement online language courses. Theoretical as well as practical implications and future research directions are clarified.

Algunos instructores de EAP (inglés con fines académicos) incorporaron métodos de enseñanza en línea antes de la pandemia para ofrecer a los estudiantes oportunidades para recibir comentarios de sus compañeros sobre la escritura (Tuomainen, 2016) y para realizar un seguimiento de su progreso en el aprendizaje del idioma (Dugartsyrenova, 2020). Sin embargo, el cambio a la enseñanza en línea cambió inesperadamente de ser un formato complementario a uno necesario (Crawford et al, 2020).…”
