Properly designed feedback can be highly conducive to students' learning. Therefore, teacher education needs to equip future teachers with research-based knowledge of how to provide effective feedback. The present study reports the implementation and quasi-experimental evaluation (a pre-post control group design; N = 141) of a four-week…

Distinguishing easily confusable categories requires learners to detect their predictive differences. Interleaved sequences -- switching between categories -- help learners to detect such differences. Nonetheless, learners prefer to block -- switching within a category -- to detect commonalities. Across two 2 × 2-factorial experiments, we…

This study explored whether approaches to assessment (i.e., ecological culturally informed assessment method) validate and support the Ebonics speaker's Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency Skills in English language learners.
