Cultivating a new ecosystem in English language teaching: A focus on researchers in a textbook development project

AbstractIn addressing the widening research–practice gap in the field of second language (L2) education, an increasing emphasis has been placed on a bidirectional and mutually beneficial relationship between L2 researchers and practitioners. Through the lens of an ecosystems model, this qualitative study explored how seven researchers at a research center in China, who collaborated with practitioners and other stakeholders in developing English textbooks, impacted the local English language teaching (ELT) ecosystem and built a bridge between research and practice. Data sources included semistructured interviews, written reflections, and official documents, in an effort to provide a holistic perspective of researchers’ experiences and changes in the textbook project. Results showed that with researchers’ engagement, which was influenced by other participants at distinct levels of the ecosystem, a healthy ecosystem emerged as a result of the project. The engagement of the researchers with other participants contributed to value co‐creation in the local ELT ecosystem, which was facilitated by the research center. The evolving new ecosystem is characterized by rich, multidirectional, and reciprocal energy flows among the stakeholders with differing roles. In particular, active agents, government support, dialogue platforms, and collaborative mindsets played important roles in facilitating researchers’ engagement in the ecosystem.

고등학교 <확률과 통계>의 통계적 추정 단원 재구조화 방안 탐색

This study aimed to improve statistical estimation teaching practices in school mathematics, support the development of textbooks according to the 2022 revised mathematics curriculum, and the implementation of the curriculum in the schools. Apropos this, the directions of restructuring the statistical estimation unit were derived by synthesizing the results of previous studies related to statistical estimation. Based on these, specific restructuring suggestions for the statistical estimation unit are proposed as follows. First, in relation to the meaning of the sample and sampling method, it is necessary to focus on the bias in the sampling process to promote conceptual understanding in terms of sample representativeness and to promote the recognition of sampling variability using technologies. Second, in relation to sampling distribution, it is necessary to construct contents that promote conceptual understanding of sampling distribution and the relationship between sample size and sampling variability using simulation. Third, in relation to the confidence interval, it is necessary to construct contents that promote the recognition of the confidence levels as probabilistic confidence and provide interpretation and evaluation opportunities of estimation results using sampling errors. In addition, some examples from foreign mathematics textbooks, that can be referred to when implementing each restructuring suggestion, are explored and presented.

A Study on Syntactic Complexity and Topic Difference Influence in Second Language Writing Based on Dependency Treebank

Using Stanford parser as a tool, taking 1840 articles on two topics by 920 English learners of four levels after random selection as the research corpus, this study attempts to explore the development trend of syntactic complexity of learners of different levels and what influence divergent topic can have on it. Results show that multi-level learners generally prefer adverbial clauses (advcl) and complement clauses (ccomp) to relative clauses (acl: recl); adjective modifiers (amod) are the best in distinguishing the level of English learners, which can be used as an important basis for judging the level of L2; in addition, different topics of the same task type have no significant effect on L2 learners’ syntactic complexity. It can be concluded that most syntactic complexity measures at the clause and phrase level show a non-linear development trend. Based upon the findings, implications are provided for English textbook development and English pedagogical practices.
