• Japan student poll ‘could be used to blame universities’ on English language issue | Times Higher Education (THE)

  "The 2019 EF English Proficiency Index, released in November, ranked Japan 53rd in the world, down from 49th last year, placing the world’s third-largest economy between developing nations like Vietnam and Pakistan. More alarming is the drop from 2011, when Japan had fewer competitors internationally and was ranked 14th" (¶10, 2019.12.09).

• What Teachers Can Do to Boost Student Motivation - Education Week

  "Researchers have identified four specific ways to nurture a sense of intrinsic motivation in students. In this video series, educators and authors Larry Ferlazzo and Katie Hull Sypnieski discuss these elements: autonomy, which is helping learners feel that they have a choice in what they do and how they do it; competence, or creating situations in which students feel that they are capable of doing what they are being asked to do; relatedness, or doing activities that help students connect to others; and relevance, or making work seem interesting, valuable, and useful to students’ everyday lives" (¶1).

    • DATA ANALYSES: Quantitative, ¶1
  • from the vantage point of a complex systems approach, improved performance is not merely a question of a learner's enhanced access to his or her steady-state competence. A learner/user's language resources (competence, if you must) change synchronously with their use.
    • Discussion, ¶3
  • One of the tenets of this approach is that it is at the bifurcations or discontinuities, when the process is relatively unstable or chaotic, that the organism is free to explore new behaviors in response to task demands
    • Discussion, ¶4
  • We need to look at the ‘messy little details’ that make up the ‘here and now’ of real time. We need to take into account learners’ goals and intentions. We need to consider the tasks that we ask them to perform and to consider each performance anew—stable and predictable in part, but at the same time, variable, flexible, and dynamically adapted to fit the situation

• Exploring Success in Tutoring the Non-Native English Speaker at University Writing Centers

  This study examined the perspectives of both tutors at university writing centers and the Non-Native English Speaking (NNES) students who use the centers. Using qualitative methods, this study looked at perceptions of the academic writing needs of the NNES students, along with characteristics of tutoring sessions which made the sessions successful in the eyes of tutors and students. The study used interviews, observations, a survey, and artifacts to look at these topics and then compared the perceptions of tutors and students. Additionally, the study compared writing centers at two universities, one of which employs an English as a Second Language (ESL) specialist, in order to learn if employing this specialist affects success for the tutors and NNES students. Results indicate that student and tutor perceptions of student needs were similar in that they expressed consistent need for grammar assistance and help with low-order concerns (LOCs). Sessions at both universities were successful, according to tutors and students, if sessions focused on these grammar and LOC needs. Employing an ESL specialist did not affect the perceptions of students or tutors nor did it seem to effect the success of sessions for either students or tutors
