Even though there is a great temptation as teachers to share what is known, many are aware of an idea called "rules that expire" (RTE) and have realized the importance of avoiding them.

We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate reading-writing relations. Beyond the overall relation, we systematically investigated moderation of the relation as a function of linguistic grain size (word reading and spelling versus reading comprehension and written composition), measurement of reading comprehension (e.g., multiple choice,…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to interrogate pre-service language teachers' professional identity formation in relation to their funds of identity (FoI) and the agentive influence of space. Design: The study was conducted with 20 pre-service language teachers in Argentina in 2022. As part of a core module's coursework, the participants were…
