An analytic model comprising the various moves in error correction sequences in second-language classrooms is developed & applied to a database of classroom interaction with a view to relating teachers' corrective feedback with students' responses. The corpus was generated from…

This comparative analysis of teacher-student interaction in two different instructional settings at the elementary-school level (18.3 hr in French immersion & 14.8 hr Japanese immersion) investigates the immediate effects of explicit correction, recasts, & prompts on learner uptake & repair.…

This article presents a corpus analysis designed to determine the extent to which noun endings in French are reliable predictors of grammatical gender. A corpus of 9,961 nouns appearing in 'Le Robert Junior Illustre' was analysed according to noun endings,…

This article presents a comparative analysis of five quasi-experimental studies involving close to 1,200 students, ranging in age from 7 to 14, in 49 French immersion classrooms in Canada - a content-based instructional context where learners develop high levels of…

Aspects of communicative classroom discourse that may affect the potential of recasts to be noticed as negative evidence by young second-language learners are examined in a database of transcripts of over 18 hours of interaction recorded during 27 lessons in…

The most significant intellectual contribution of Charles Beitz's book, Political Theory and International Relations, was captured by his use of the word "and" in the book's title to connect the previously estranged fields of political theory and international relations (IR).…

Measurements of the spin-spin relaxation time and of the effective, lattice-induced, transition probabilities are reported for magnetically dilute potassium chromicyanide in chemically analyzed concentrations ranging nfrom 0.06 to 1.5%. In these measurements the c-axis of the cobalticyanide matrix was parallel…

Aggressive epithelial cancer cells frequentlyadopt mesenchymal characteristics and exhibitaberrant interactions with their surroundings,including the vasculature. Whether therelease/uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs)plays a role during these processes has not beenstudied. EVs are heterogeneous membranestructures that originate either at the surface(microparticles), or…

primary and metastatic brain tumors evolve and progress. While brain tumor cells express tissue factor (TF) and other effectors of the coagulation system (coagulome), their propensity to induce local and peripheral thrombosis is highly diverse, most dramatic in the case…

As the younger generation of born digital library users and even well-established scholars rely increasingly on Google, or its new products Google Scholar and Google Book, for information resource discovery and access, libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to ensure…
