In this study, we investigated two core understandings related to the nature of second language (L2) student engagement from a self-determination theory framework: (1) that there is a dual process of development that follows from the initial conditions of the L2 classroom environment (specifically teacher motivational practice: autonomy-supportive...

In this study, we investigated two core understandings related to the nature of L2 student engagement from a self-determination theory framework: (1) that there is a dual process of development that follows from the initial conditions of the L2 classroom environment (specifically teacher motivational practice: autonomy-supportive vs. controlling),...

In applied linguistics research interest has surged in recent years for questions related to individuals’ development and change. The most commonly used methods in the field for analyzing repeated measures data, for studying variation and stability in individual change, and for investigating how individual level outcomes relate to the group may not...

In this study we investigated how student engagement and disengagement change over the course of a semester in the L2 classroom. We modeled change at the inter- and intra-individual levels, using time-variant predictors to examine differences in student classroom engagement and disengagement trajectories. In addition to these temporal dynamics, we...

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a topic of increasing interest in the field of language learning and instruction. In this study, we set out to investigate the relationship between students' use of SRL strategies in second language (L2) writing, their L2 writing engagement, and L2 writing procrastination. Data were collected from college students i...

In this chapter, our objective is to explore the past, present and future of measuring the construct of engagement. We first introduce some of the more prominent approaches to measuring student engagement from general education, including student self-report, experience sampling, teacher ratings of students, interviews and observations (Hofkens & R...

Focused on the effects of different type of feedback on learners’ written products, research on written corrective feedback (WCF) has cast second language writers as passive recipients rather than proactive agents in the feedback process. Revisiting the notion of WCF, this study introduces the notion of feedback-seeking behavior (Ashford & Cummings...

In this study we investigate the situated and dynamic nature of the L2 Learning Experience through a newly-purposed instrument called the Language Learning Story Interview—adapted from McAdams’ Life Story Interview (2007). Using critical case sampling, data were collected from an equal number of learners of various L2s (e.g., Arabic, English, Manda...

Data elicitation instrument from forthcoming article: Hiver, P., Obando, G., Sang, Y., Tahmouresi, S., Zhou, A., & Zhou, Y. (in press). Reframing the L2 learning experience as narrative reconstructions of classroom learning. Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching.

In this study we set out to re-theorize the language learning experience using insights from McAdams’ integrative life narrative dimension (McAdams, 2011). Originating in the work of scholars who proposed a narrative model of psychology and individual differences (see McAdams & Pals, 2006), it has more recently been adapted into reconceptualization...

In recent years, Dechloranes have been widely detected in the environment around the world. However, understanding and knowledge of Dechloranes in remote regions, such as the Arctic, remain lacking. Therefore, the concentrations of 5 Dechloranes in surface seawater, sediment, soil, moss, and dung collected from Ny-Ålesund in the Arctic were measure...

In order to study the characteristics of aerobic microbial degradation of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDs) in marine sediments, the degradation rate of HBCDs was investigated using HPLC-MS/MS. The suspension of marine sediment was added to inorganic mediums with HBCDs as the sole carbon source. The HBCDs degradation strains were isolated after domest...

Antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) residues and the mode of transmission in marine environments remain unclear. The sulfonamide (SAs) concentrations, different genes and total bacterial abundance in seawater and sediment of the Northern Yellow Sea were analyzed. Results showed the genes sul I and sul II were present at relatively high concentrations...
