        This study intended to explore the linguistic and rhetorical features of written narratives produced by language learners of different levels of proficiency. A large and comprehensive number of linguistic and rhetorical features were analyzed adopted from Hinkel (2002). Learners from a mixed-age group in a private language institute in Iran took part in this study. Three levels of B1, B2, and C1 learners were assigned into two conditions: Differentiated Instruction (DI, N = 84) that received individualized writing instruction according to each writer’s needs and skills and Traditional Instruction (TI, N = 76) that presented the features followed by some exercises. Results revealed that both C1 and B2 learners used more accurate linguistic features, while only C1 learners were successful in employing rhetorical features. In TI, however, C2 learners implemented a restricted number of linguistic and rhetorical features. Significant differences were found between DI and TI groups in each proficiency level. A comparison of the effect sizes, however, indicated that DI was less effective in the case of rhetorical features. تفاصيل المقالة

        The study investigates English language teachers’ beliefs and perceptions in understanding the notion of differentiated instruction strategy in secondary schools in Uzbekistan. To achieve this, the researchers designed a questionnaire consisting of 3 parts, a question list for semi-structured interviews and an unstructured observation sheet. The instruments were used after having verified their validity and reliability. Our teachers participated in the research who took the questionnaires, 20 sub-samples were interviewed and 10 of them volunteered to conduct the classes per 2 observations, that is 20 observations in total. The results indicate that teachers have different points of view on differentiated instruction strategies based on their experience. There was a big difference among questionnaire and interview responses compared to what was observed in classes in terms of applying elements of Differentiated Instruction such as Content and Process. The analyses of data show that being familiar with DI is statistically significant toward the age, working experience, and grade currently teaching. The study recommends organizing workshops for language teachers to train them to differentiate instructions and increase their awareness of the strategies of differentiation along with organizing lesson observation of those teachers who already implement differentiated instructions in their classes. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study tried to examine the effect of using scaffolded differentiation strategies on reading comprehension and vocabulary improvement of intermediate students. The effect of using scaffolded differentiation strategies on the reading strategy use of the intermediate students was also checked. The researcher selected 40 EFL learners with intermediate levels. They were mixed learners from the institutes in Tehran. Nelson proficiency test, screening test, diagnostic test, progress monitoring test, outcome test, and a close-ended questionnaire were used in the study. For the quantitative part, the selected students were randomly divided into four groups. Two were experimental groups and the rest were control ones. Each group consisted of 10 students. There were 15 sessions for the treatment. In the Experimental group the instructor used scaffolded differentiating strategies for improving the reading comprehension of the students and in the control group the teachers used ordinary methods. A test that subdivides the broad area into specific skills, in this case, inferential comprehension and receptive vocabulary was administered before and after the intervention. The questions were constructed in the related course of study. The result of the post-test showed that ‘Inferential reading’ and ‘Receptive vocabulary’ of the experimental group were noticeably greater than those of the control one. Data for the qualitative part was collected through the reading strategy inventory of MARSI (Mokhtari & Reichard, 2002). The reading strategy inventory was administered to 20 participants before the instruction and the instruction started, and after the instruction it was administered again. It consisted of 30 items that measured three factors: Global Reading Strategies (13 items), Problem-Solving Strategies (8 items), and Support Reading Strategies (9 items). The result of the posttest showed that the mean scores for the two subscales of ‘Global’ and ‘Supportive’ in the experimental group were noticeably greater than the mean scores in the control group but not for the other subscales of ‘Problem-solving’. تفاصيل المقالة

        چکیده: این مطالعه با هدف ارزشیابی فرایند تدریس معلمان ابتدائی در درس ریاضی، بر اساس رویکرد آموزش تفکیکی انجام گرفت. به این منظور از روش مطالعه میدانی استفاده شد و داده های مورد نیاز از یک نمونه سه نفری که به صورت نمونه گیری هدفمند انتخاب شده بودند، با استفاده از فرم مشاهده کلاس درس تاملینسون جمع آوری گردید. داده های جمع آوری شده به روش میانگین وزنی تحلیل و سپس بر روی طیف مطلوبیت عملکرد قرار گرفتند. نتایج نشان داد معلمان در ابعادی چون راحت بودن دانش آموزان در طرح سؤال یا درخواست کمک، نشان دادن مدیریت و رهبری اثربخش در کلاس ها، ارتباط داشتن با دانش آموزان به طور انفرادی در ضمن تدریس، انجام سنجش در طول درس برای اطمینان از میزان فهم مطالب توسط دانش آموزان، آگاهی و فهم دانش آموزان از اهداف یادگیری، دارای عملکردی در سطح متوسط بودند و در ابعادی چون فراهم کردن راهنمایی هایی برای تمرکز دانش آموزان روی اهداف یادگیری، توجه به سؤالات دانش آموزان در طول درس، کمک به دانش آموزان برای آگاهی از نقاط قوت یکدیگر، بیان دستورالعمل های روشن برای انجام تکالیف، تأکید روی رقابت با خود نه با دیگران، تعیین استانداردهایی برای یادگیری دانش آموزان و توجه به دانش آموزان دارای مشکلات رفتاری یا فیزیکی دارای عملکرد ضعیفی بودند. این نتایج حاکی از عدم آشنایی معلمان مورد بررسی با رویکردهای یادگیری سازنده گرایی و اصول کاربرد آنها در تدریس و یادگیری کلاس درس است. تفاصيل المقالة
