As Polio (2012) puts it, feedback will be “essentially useless if learners do not have to do anything with [it]” (p. 385). @sonialing.bsky.social and I explored corrective feedback. Findings can be found here: portalrecerca.udl.cat/documentos/6...

Given that in-class time is limited, I wondered whether EFL students' awareness of email requests to faculty could be raised through self-access web-based #pragmatic instruction only 🧐 So happy to finally share the results of this project! #OpenAccess www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

L2 thought of the day - be the teacher that shifts a student’s negative experiences in language classes into a positive one. Be kind, patient and supportive, and do not accept mediocre work when you see they can produce better work. Be generous with praise too.

Couldn't be happier to have found a community of researchers so welcoming and generous! It was a pleasure to help organise this event and co-host one of the sessions. Long live ITAP! ❤️
