“…This is why the frequency of evidential markers which belong to interactive markers appears more in this study. In fact, as it has been acknowledged in similar studies (Banaruee et al, 2017;Mohamed & Rashid, 2017), interactive markers help to guide the reader through the text and lead the readers to understand through the application of transition markers, frame markers, endophoric markers, evidential, and code glosses.…”

This study aimed to investigate how the metadiscourse markers are used in Applied Linguistic research proposals written by Vietnamese MA students. Besides, it also examines what the most and least common types of metadiscourse markers are used in this kind of proposals. The study used the corpus consisting of Applied Linguistic research proposals written by a total of 20 students. The analysis of the type and frequency of metadiscourse markers used in the selected research proposals was based on Hyland’s (2005) model. With the support of the concordance computer programme namely Antconc, the occurrence of each metadiscourse marker found was calculated to find out the results. The finding of the study showed that interactive markers are more commonly used than interactional markers in Applied Linguistic research proposals. It is also seen that transition markers are the most common type of metadiscourse markers while evidential markers have the lowest frequency. This can be implied that Vietnamese students prioritize the interacitve metadiscourse markers over the interactional metadiscourse markers in Applied Linguistics research proposals due to the fact that it is the easiest way for the author to organise the text in order to make readers comprehend the whole text.

“…Zare-Behtash and argued that textbook reading activities must enjoy a great variety to serve as many learning preferences and styles as possible. The difference between models and descriptions are the results of the fact that learning is gained at different aspects (Banaruee, Mohammadian & Zare-Behtash, 2017). In the present study the efficacy of learning styles on L2 reading task performance results and their possible correlation is investigated and discussed.…”

Due to the existence of contrastive psychological and biological factors, learning processes vary from person to person. The awareness of the fact that dissimilarity exists among learners' preferences in learning, determines teachers to accommodate learners needs accordingly. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between learning styles and reading performance of candidates who attended Teacher Recruitment Test in Iran Language Institute. Participants of the study were classified into either failed-group or succeeded-group. To achieve the objective of the study, Ehrman and Leaver's Questionnaire (2003) was administered to the candidates. Then each participant was included in one of the two groups of ectenic or synoptic learners. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was calculated to find any significant correlation between participants' scores in the reading tasks Global Journal of Educational Studies ISSN 2377-3936 2017 and their scores as an ectenic L2 learner or a synoptic L2 learner. The obtained value of R was 0.77, which is statistically significant and indicates that synoptic candidates were notably more successful than ectenic candidates in the reading tasks. While synoptic scores were positively correlated with participants' scores in reading tasks, ectenic scores were negatively correlated with participants' scores in the test. It was concluded that there is a significant correlation between learning styles and degree of success in reading tasks. A classification of successful learners at reading tests was consequently provided.

“…Meta-discourse is often considered as discourse or talk about the conversation that facilitates the interaction of authors and speakers with readers and listeners to better converter the author's message. As a universal feature of all languages, metadiscourse can reflect salient features of various genres and is also recognized as one of the most common methods for dealing with written academic texts [6][7].…”

The study of metadiscourse word resources is an important way to reveal academic knowledge constructs and genre features in English papers. This paper selects intra- and interdisciplinary English academic papers as data samples, and the text representation is based on the vector space model. The text similarity is calculated using the word movement distance model to complete the clustering based on the density peak, and then the semantic annotation of metadiscourse verb patterns is performed using the conditional random field. Then, the intra- and interdisciplinary metadiscourse annotations are compared to analyze the variation of verb patterns. The intra-disciplinary variation of metadiscourse verb patterns was mainly found using attitude markers, where the log-likelihood ratios of 48.56, 30.25, and 35.64 were obtained for affirmative, critical, and critical declarative attitudes, respectively. In interdisciplinary studies, basic disciplines preferred to use verb patterns as transitions, while applied disciplines preferred to express the author’s point of view. The study of metadiscourse verb patterns effectively enriches the linguistic resources in academic English teaching and deepens the understanding of the characteristics of disciplinary essay genres.
