Writing is an important skill, often neglected at the beginning of formal L2 learning due to the perception that it might be difficult or interfere with acquiring L1 literacy skills. However, there are benefits to teaching writing early on, such as raising awareness of the English spelling system, which is particularly important given its specifici...
Many international and national curriculum documents emphasize the importance of developing intercultural competence from the very beginning of language learning. Teachers working with young language learners thus require readily available resources providing information about the target culture and international cultures, but also the source cultu...
Despite the abundance of research focused on the theoretical determination of discourse markers, empirical studies of these linguistic units that are crucial to, among other things, developing pragmatic language competence, are rather scares in the context of applied linguistics, particularly with respect to their use in foreign language writing. T...
For years, discourse markers have been one of the focal points of turbulent linguistic research, which resulted in manifold theoretical approaches to investigating these linguistic units. The results of numerous studies are there-fore difficult to synthesize into a coherent and consistent whole. Consequently, the integration of individual findings...
Važnost pisanja sažetaka znanstvenih radova leži u tome što su preduvjet za objavu u znanstvenim časopisima, sudjelovanje na konferencijama, prijavu projekata i slično. No, pisanje kvalitetnoga sažetka zahtjevan je zadatak za hrvatske studente koji su često suočeni sa zadatkom pisanja sažetka svog završnog ili diplomskog rada na engleskomu jeziku....
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of pre-task planning on L2 fluency performance by measuring the temporal variables. Performing a picture description task, two groups of thirty-seven students were given 10 minutes of planning time and no planning time before the performance, respectively. The temporal fluency variables a...
The focus of the present study is to explore the relationship between the task repetition including a tightly structured narrative and the breakdown fluency, i.e. number of pauses per minute, average duration of pauses, and phonation-time ratio. Thirty-three Croatian learners of English performed the narrative task twice. The temporal fluency varia...
The present study aims to investigate the use of discourse markers (DMs) in nonnative (Croatian) EFL teachers´ talk with primary and secondary school students. The study concentrates on the occurrences and frequencies of DMs, but it also provides an account of the function distribution of the three most frequently used DMs (ok, so, and). The quanti...
The present paper attempts to investigate what out-of-school activities might positively affect the acquisition of discourse markers (DMs) which seems to be one of the most demanding areas for EFL learners. Two equal size groups of Croatian primary and secondary school learners (N = 200) completed a writing test in English and a questionnaire aimed...
Interdisciplinary teaching plays an important role at all educational levels, particularly at an early school age. Apart from providing a basis for joint learning, it enables correlation of segmented knowledge as well as additional practice and reinforcement of the newly acquired knowledge. It stimulates an awareness of the importance of cross-curr...
