Effective and ineffective academic writing support for ESL students: A higher education perspective
Get PDFAcademic writing presents significant challenges for students who use English as a second language, often affecting students’ academic performance and progress. Given its critical role in academic success, various institutions have introduced various support approaches to enhance students’ writing skills. However, ongoing challenges suggest that these approaches vary in effectiveness. This study explored the effective and ineffective academic writing support approaches. Employing a literature review analysis, questionnaire, and interview, the study collected data within the framework of transactional distance theory. Findings indicate that scaffolded writing support is a highly effective pedagogical approach, as it systematically deconstructs the writing process into manageable steps. Other effective approaches include explicit and timely feedback, tailored writing instruction, simplified academic language, structured peer-review sessions, and enhanced accessibility to writing resources. In contrast, ineffective approaches involved the use of complex academic language, text-heavy materials, information overload, limited engagement time, and a lack of practical exercises, all of which hinder students’ ability to internalize key writing concepts. Additional challenges include language barriers, vague feedback, and unstructured peer-review sessions. The study contributes to the refinement of curriculum design, academic writing support approaches, and English as a Second Language support structures by promoting feedback-driven and student-centered interventions that align with students’ needs, ultimately improving writing outcomes, enhancing retention rates, and reducing failure rates. Overcoming academic writing challenges and reducing transactional distance is at the core of effective student support approaches
An analysis of grade 6 English first additional language reading comprehension questions in CAPS-aligned examinations
Get PDFReading comprehension, a crucial skill for successful text interaction, remains a significant challenge for many South African learners, as evidenced by their persistent difficulties in answering comprehension questions. This struggle underscores the importance of examining how comprehension assessments are designed and implemented. The South African curriculum assessment policy statement (CAPS) mandates a variety of cognitive levels in reading tests, using Barrett's taxonomy for question design. However, there is a lack of research examining whether the reading comprehension questions in grade 6 English first additional language (EFAL) exams align with the cognitive levels. The purpose of this study is to examine the alignment of grade 6 EFA reading comprehension questions with the cognitive levels. The study employs Barrett’s taxonomy framework to categorize and evaluate reading comprehension questions in grade 6 EFAL exams. The results show a striking imbalance between actual question distributions and CAPS benchmarks: lower-order questions dominated at 68.75% (Paper 1) and 63.16% (Paper 2), far exceeding the CAPS target of 40%, inferential questions reached only 25.00% (Paper 1) and 26.32% (Paper 2), falling short of the 40% requirement, higher-order questions were critically underrepresented at 0.00% (Paper 1) and 10.53% (Paper 2), versus the 20% benchmark. The study recommends a substantive rebalancing of examination questions to achieve the CAPS-mandated distribution of cognitive levels (40% lower-order, 40% inferential, 20% higher-order)

Yield Performance And Quality Of Peashoot Microgreens From Seeds Soaked In Varied Concentrations Of Cacl₂ Utilizing Different Water Types
Get PDFMicrogreens are small vegetables harvested at young age (7-14 days after planting) and are more nutritious than those harvested in mature stage. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of pre-soaked seed using different concentrations of CaCl2 and watering using different types of water on the yield and quality of micro-green peashoots. This study used factorial randomised design of blocks with two factors. The first factor was the pre- soaked seeds with several concentrations of CaCl2, three levels of 0, 0.5 and 1. The second factor is the difference in the type of water, which is made up of three types ( well water, mineral water and destilled water). The results showed that there was no significant interaction between the treatments on the yield and quality of the micro-greens. Separately, the treatment of pre-soaked seedusing some CaCl2 concentration had a significant effect on the fresh weight per box and on the fresh weight of the shoots. Treatment with 0.5 percent CaCl2 resulted in the best fresh weight per box (160.42 g) and the best weight per microgreen shoots (76.63 g). Microgreens soaked in mineral water had the highest weight of shoots (73.85 g) and the highest of ash content (3.59 mg). The results of the organoleptic test showed that the microgreen peashoot was relatively favored by consumers in terms of taste and color. Based on the results of this study, a pre-planting seed soaking treatment using a 0.5% CaCl2 solution is recommended. Mineral water has good prospects for application in microgreen peashoot cultivation to produce good shoot weight and high fiber and mineral quality
