Revision is an important -- sometimes mandatory -- step in the production of translations. As such, it is part of the EMT competence framework and increasingly taught in training institutions. Material is available to teachers, but it mainly consists of texts based on personal experience or accounts from the classroom. This article takes stock of…

This study explores the written corrective feedback provided by two university teachers in the academic texts written by their students. Specifically, it focuses on the relationship established between the linguistic and discursive errors identified by the teachers, the forms of feedback provided (direct, indirect, metalinguistic and…

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) provides an instant and cost-effective alternative to human feedback in assessing student writing, and therefore is widely used as a pedagogical supportive tool in writing instruction. However, studies on how students perceive the usage of AWE as a surrogate writing tutor in out-of-class autonomous learning are…

Few studies have explored the difficulties that undergraduates encounter in peer assessment from the dual perspectives of feedback givers and receivers and framed them in terms of specific needs for student feedback literacy development. To address this research gap, this study explored the obstacles that Hong Kong university students experienced…

Written expressions encompass putting events, emotions, and thoughts on paper with the written symbols of a language in compliance with its rules. Even with cochlear implants, students with hearing loss who experience delays in language and academic skills face various difficulties in written expression skills. Editing and revising studies, which…

In this study, we explore the effects of self-reported or suspected generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use in essay writing on peer assessment and revision patterns among a group of early student adopters. The data were collected from a higher education course, where students engaged in a group peer assessment activity, and analysed using…

This study chronicles my long journey toward publication in reputable international journals, detailing the challenges encountered throughout the process of article preparation and publication. Using an autoethnography approach involving personal reflection, I aim to document my journey from selecting the research topic to providing a self-budget…

After the pandemic has ceased, high expectations have been raised for the tourism industry to generate quick and substantial income for Thailand as a remedy for the sluggish economy. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) plays a key role in informing and inviting foreign tourists to visit the country. TAT's official English website is another…

Earlier research has shown that translation holds the potential to combine close reading and critical authorship practices. But despite that, translation has occupied a marginal position as a creative writing practice in classrooms. Through practice-based research involving the students, the translators and the authors of the translated poems, the…

The importance of revision has been recognised by numerous scholars of the teaching and learning of writing (Abad & Rodríguez-Gonzalo, 2023; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Camps, 2020; Horning & Becker, 2006), especially if it is understood as a recursive and transversal phase that affects all levels of language (Álvarez Angulo, 2011;…

This article reports on an empirical study on cognitive processes [i.e. (dis) fluency, temporal management of the translation process, and revision] and their relationship with fluency and adequacy. Based on Jakobsen and Schou's (1999) computational model of human translation, the author utilizes keylogging data retrieved from a Translog-II-based…

As a vital learning activity in second language (L2) writing classrooms, peer feedback plays a crucial role in improving students' writing skills. However, student reviewers face challenges in providing impactful feedback on peers' essays. Low-quality peer reviews emerge as a persistent problem, adversely affecting the learning effect of peer…

Self-assessment is believed to complement peer assessment in the classroom. However, whether, how and why this is done remains unclear. This study, by investigating the combined use of self and peer assessment for an academic writing task among a group of undergraduate students in Hong Kong, aims to shed light on how self-assessment complements…

Peer feedback has been widely used in English as a foreign language (EFL) writing classes, but its effect is highly variable and its quality and validity are often questioned by students as well as teachers. This research aims to explore the effects of teacher intervention on student use of different types of peer feedback and on their…

Generative AI has stormed the education community worldwide. Gen-AI's potential to assist teachers in providing feedback to students is the focus of the current research. Specifically, the research investigated how similar or different AI-generated feedback was from teacher feedback, and whether there were differences in students' responses to the…
