The syllabus design for ESP should account for specific learners’ and industry needs regarding language skills, aspects and functions. Furthermore, the process should consider the globally trending challenges to prepare learners for their prospective jobs. In this regard, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are comprehensive agenda that shapes...
The concept of collocation is deeply rooted in modern linguistics, and it is studied extensively. Most studies focused on structure, frequency, and association measures of collocates while other studies focused on semantic prosody and collocation competence. These studies have consistently found that words tend to co-occur within certain parameters...
There has long been a widespread belief that academic writing has to maintain a high degree of formality and impersonality. Despite this, it has been observed that there is a general tendency to use informal style in academic writing by writers from different disciplines. This informality manifests itself in the use of various linguistic devices th...
Linguistic corpora have been used in a wide range in recent years. Different types of linguistics analyses in both spoken and written discourses are being conducted using the corpus linguistics approach. Among these, academic writing has received considerable attention. Corpus linguistics has provided insights into the academic writing of both nati...
There have been many studies dealing with the interconnections between the utilization of language learning strategies and the overall academic achievement of EFL learners. Our research aims to investigate whether there is some correlation between the implementation of cognitive strategies, metacognitive strategies, and academic achievement in an E...
Grammatical and semantic devices writers use to maintain text cohesion have received significant attention for over forty years. Among these devices, conjunctions are particularly emphasized for their role in enhancing communication and the quality of academic writing. Despite extensive research on how EFL learners use conjunctions in their academi...
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) syllabuses based on students’ needs are assumed to be interesting and motivating to students as they maximise language learning. This is because they contribute to preparing students for specific targets in their prospective profession or academic study. This study aimed at revealing Saudi tour guides target need...
Modern advancement in learning technologies and tools has presented innovative written corrective feedback (WCF) methods based on artificial intelligence (AI) and existing corpora. Research has shown that these tools are perceived as exciting and useful by students, yet studies on their effectiveness and impact on students' writing are relatively i...
Article History Authors frequently employ metadiscourse markers (MDMs) in academic literature to encode their perspectives, support their claims and captivate readers. The usage of MDMs based on a variety of taxonomies and models has long been studied by researchers with the interpersonal model being one of the most widely applied. Results have sho...
A specialized corpus of scientific research articles written by Arab scholars in the field of English Applied linguistics and literature. This corpus contains approximately 200 research articles and more than 1 million words in its initial version. The project is regularly updated to ensure that it remains current and relevant.
Many factors should be considered when planning a profitable Online Learning (OL) experience. Of these factors, quality is the most noticeable concern that received considerable debate. Over the years, several suggestions for standards for ensuring online course quality have been suggested. Among these, Quality Matters (QM) is the most used and pri...
It is common knowledge that grammar instruction is a prime factor in developing EFL students' proficiency. However, the argument revolves around the best method of teaching grammar, whether implicitly or explicitly. Metalanguage (ML), which stands for the technical terms that describe language, is essential for explicit instruction. As this teachin...
The positive effect of Corrective Feedback (CF) on students' writing performance has been a topic of dispute for a long time. The dominant belief around this issue is that students benefit from feedback to a certain extent. However, there is no consensus on what type of feedback can achieve that or the effect of CF provision on language learning in...
The importance of Corrective Feedback (CF) to language learners has been a controversial topic for a long time. While some studies recognised CF's importance for accurate language use, others considered it a deterrent to the meaningful acquisition of a second language. Recently, modern types of corrective feedback that utilise the vast advance in I...
Grammar teaching has been a topic of debate for a considerably long time. Researchers and teachers discussed the benefits and shortcomings of its explicit instruction, which entails students' awareness of metalanguage. Although much research has investigated metalanguage, its effect on improving students' grammatical accuracy is still an unresolved...
Scores raw data of two tests on metalanguage and grammatical accuracy of 124 Students along with the analysis and results.
The data was prepared and processed for a research project entitled [Correlation of EFL learners’ metalinguistic knowledge and grammatical accuracy] by the author.
Background: Lexical Bundles (LBs) have become the focus of many recent corpus linguistics studies. Research has found variable use of LBs in terms of quality and quantity pertaining to different linguistic groups or registers. Still, there is a paucity of research investigating Arab EFL writers’ use and development of such a feature. Purpose: This...
This dataset includes the control and experimental group scores on the pre and post-tests administered as instruments for the study. It also incorporates data analysis results of such scores including item analysis and t-test results of the scores. This data is available under the creative common standard CC BY NC 3.0. Correspondence concerning thi...
This study aimed to examine the potentials of the NLP approach in detecting discourse markers (DMs), namely okay, in a transcribed spoken data. A total of 138 concordance lines were presented to human referees to judge the functions of okay in them as a DM or non-DM. After that, the researchers used a Python script written according to the POS tagg...
The present study investigates the use of Discourse Markers (DMs) in Sudanese non-native spoken English. Two corpora were compiled to typify Sudanese and British spoken English. Each corpus comprises 108600 words constituting over fifty TEDx Talks presented by Sudanese and British speakers in the last seven years. The study focusses on the frequenc...
Purpose: This paper investigates the accuracy order of grammatical morphemes followed by Saudi EFL learners. The major aim of the research was to reveal the pattern of grammatical morpheme acquisition of the participants, and to compare it against the Natural Order Hypothesis (NOH) as stated by Krashen (1977). The different factors that affected th...
ABSTRACT---- This study concerns with the major objective of foreign language teaching: vocabulary acquisition. The modern trends of teaching and the vast advance of technology enable teachers to use online and mobile applications in a very wide range. The real effect of using such a method need to be measured. Accordingly, this experimental-design...
This research aims at investigating the acquisition order of six English grammatical morphemes by Sudanese EFL learners. It also examines the factors that shape such an order and the difficulty scale encountered by the research community in learning grammatical morphemes. The study used the descriptive quantitative method and the participants were...
This research is an attempt to investigate the Sudanese university students’ knowledge and use of reading strategies. The main hypothesis of the research is that the subjects do
not know and/or use sufficient reading strategies. Consequently, their reading standards are low. Research data were obtained via a questionnaire and a reading comprehensio...

In a grammar Judgement test, I ask my respondents to rewrite the incorrect statements to assess their grammatical morpheme usage. Some of them change the context completely ( e.g. Now I am cook) to elicit (-ing) the student reply with (Now I am a cook)!. Some pluralize nouns when I meant to elicit indefinite article usage. Some of them even use -ing in simple present contexts, or vice versa. What can count as over-generalization in tests of this type?
