Although a large bulk of research on WCF has focused on the link between different feedback types and language development, more research is needed to understand how language learners perceive written corrective feedback and what feedback practices they favor more than others. Therefore, this study aims to investigate Turkish EFL learners’ perceptions and preferences of written corrective feedback in terms of the feedback strategies employed in their classrooms as well as their revision practices upon getting feedback. 90 Turkish Intermediate EFL undergraduates from a public university in Turkey completed a 21-item Likert-scale questionnaire online. Using descriptive statistics, the questionnaire data were analyzed. The findings showed that the learners’ perceptions and their teachers’ feedback practices mostly aligned, and most learners preferred to receive comprehensive and indirect feedback that focuses on grammatical, mechanical, and lexical errors rather than organization and content. These findings highlighted the importance of learner expectations in relation to the perceived efficacy of feedback practices.","PeriodicalId":43554,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135645367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of TSs, many developments are observed in this field concerning the translation process. TSs is a discipline characterized by theories such as Scopos, post-structuralism, feminism, semiotics, and linguistics such as pragmatics and critical discourse analysis. When the developments in the field of TSs since the cultural turn in the early 1980s are examined, it is seen that linguistics is undoubtedly one of the most important disciplines affecting the field of TSs. In addition to linguistics, it is seen that the disciplines such as psychology, communication, literature, and philosophy that translation scientists benefit from in this process and the methodologies specific to these disciplines -as an integrative discipline-are constantly adapted to serve the needs of TSs. In addition, during the 1990s, TSs has been a field of research and discussion in the conceptual and interdisciplinary field, influenced by linguistics, communicative, psycholinguistic, and cognitive approaches. The aim of this study is to examine the developments in the field of TSs in the last thirty years and to contribute to the literature by discussing the disciplines that have historically influenced or been affected by TSs.","PeriodicalId":43554,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74163652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be argued that neither the educational institutions nor the teachers/instructors and students were well-prepared for such a swift shift. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify distance education satisfaction levels of pre-service English language teachers by shedding light on the variables that may have an influence on their perceptions. A mixed methods research design, involving 122 pre-service English language teachers studying at a state university in Turkey, was employed within the study and both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed. For the analysis of the quantitative data, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Mann-Whitney U test were utilized. Likewise, qualitative data was analyzed via content analysis. The results of the analyses indicate that the implementation of distance education is regarded as satisfactory in some respects and unsatisfactory in some other respects. It can be hypothesized that the specification of these aspects will possibly help both educational institutions and teachers/instructors design and implement their distance education operations more effectively since the opinions and perceptions of the students as to the implementation of distance education are revealed within the study.","PeriodicalId":43554,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72386963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a survey was conducted with 80 Arabic teachers reached by convenient sampling method to measure the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools, their perceptions of professional competence in using these tools, their perceptions of using these tools in teaching vocabulary and the frequency of their use of these tools. Then, the obtained data were interpreted by using descriptive analysis method and comparative analysis tests. Because of the research, it was seen that the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools were very positive. Moreover, the effect of demographic data on the above-mentioned perceptions was examined and no significant difference was observed in the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools in terms of gender, grade taught, and department graduated. However, a significant difference was observed in terms of age variable. In this regard, according to the results of the research, it was seen that young teachers' perceptions of professional competence to use Web 2.0 tools and the frequency of using Web 2.0 tools were higher than older participants.","PeriodicalId":43554,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87328658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
