“…The recording took place without prior notice of the subjects. It was purposively implemented to avoid Hawthorne Effect where the participants behave unnaturally realizing that they are being research (Back, 2013:Haghverdi, 2010. However, when the data collection finished, the subjects were told about the recording.…”

Some researchers have tried to challenge the dominance of Gricean maxims in terms of its consistency. One way oftesting itis by conducting research in vernacular language. This research is therefore conducted to revisit Gricean maxims in Manado Malay language, a language used by the people who live in Manado and its surroundings. This research, therefore, aims to find out (1) how the Cooperative Principle is violated in Manado Malay language, and (2) what the purpose of the generated implicatures are. The data used for analysis in this research were taken from recorded lunch break conversation of the lecturers at Unika De La Salle Manado in July 2016. The result showed that the Gricean maxims: maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation and maxim of manner were observed in Manado Malay language. It was also found that implicatures generated in Manado Malay language were meant for giving information. It can be concluded that Gricean maxims are consistent when implicatures occur in Manado Malay language. Furthermore, speakers of Manado Malay language usually produce implicature to give information and to joke.

“…Qualitative SA studies have analyzed these same types of variables as constructions, such as the social construction of gender in connection to themes found in the data (e.g., Allen, ; Du, ; Goldoni, ; Polanyi, ). Studies employing mixed methods have used qualitative data to elucidate quantitative patterns, and vice versa (e.g., Back, ; DeKeyser, ).…”

“…In addition, L2 writing and L2 listening comprehension continue to be underresearched, with a few exceptions (e.g., Cubillos et al [2008] for L2 listening; Godfrey, Treacy, & Tarone [2014] for L2 writing). Future research can take advantage of the increasing use of digital platforms in SA contexts (e.g., e-mail, e-journals, blogs, and social media) and make use of these sources of data for L2 writing studies (e.g., Back, 2013;Stewart, 2010). Finally, even though scholars are progressively examining the linguistic and nonlinguistic effects of short-term SA programs (e.g., Allen, 2010;Arnett, 2013;Castañeda & Zirger, 2011;Cubillos et al, 2008;Martinsen, 2010;Shiri, 2015), new research looking at the benefits of short-term SA programs needs to equally investigate all areas of L2 ability, including those that seem to be less likely to change in immersive contexts such as L2 grammar.…”

In spite of advances in the understanding of the effects of the immersion experience on language and cultural development in the last three decades, many questions in study abroad (SA) research remain unanswered. The present article offers a close examination of the field as it is today with an eye toward future trends and gaps in the literature. The authors discuss how the field is being reshaped in response to the preponderant role of new technologies in research and educational practices; to constant challenges to diversify access for minority students, including heritage language learners; and to meeting the growing demands of a globalized economy and workforce. Current trends in SA program design such as the incorporation of service‐learning, volunteering, and internships into the SA curriculum are also given special consideration. The article focuses on language development first and then on the factors influencing that development that are internal and external to learners. Interfaces between these areas are addressed. Subsections of the article provide an outline of an innovative SA research agenda as well as suggestions for rethinking SA program design and implementation.

“…In their studies, Aspey (2011) and Castro (2012) found that students join instruction activities easier with online lessons than traditional lessons and educators like to use social media in their teaching process. Back (2013) stated that some social media tools such as Facebook are playing an important role for language learners. Similarly, Meishar-Tal, Kurtz, and Pieterse (2012) used Facebook as a learning management system (LMS) in their study.…”

Social media is very popular on the Internet and individuals utilize from social media in different ways. This exploratory research investigated the educational researchers' social media uses and their opinions about using social media as a research, teaching and learning environment for educational purposes within a sample of Turkish educational researchers. A total of 207 researchers participated in this study. The results showed that 62% of the researchers utilized from social media for their previous educational studies and 90% of them planned to utilize from social media for their educational studies in the near future. Most of the educational researchers think positive about the usage of social media within educational studies, but they have complained about the insufficiency of literature. It has been seen that the researchers' study at the Department of Computer and Instruction Technologies Education use social media more effective and younger researchers utilize from social media more and think to utilize more in faculties of education. At the same time, researchers who use social media more effectively in their daily lives, benefit more from social media in their educational studies. Some seminars can be organized to overcome the technical knowledge deficiencies of educational researchers. Education researchers can be encouraged to adopt and use social media elements.
