THE USE OF LITERACY-INSTRUCTIONAL CATEGORY TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION
Full text linkThis investigation examined the use of Literacy-Instructional Category on students’ reading comprehension. Particularly, there are two objectives of the study. The first is to explore the students’ writing improvement when they engaged in the first cycle of reading activities by employing literacy instructional categories. The second is to explore the students’ reading comprehension by using instructional categories. Thirty students from English Department of IAIN Salatiga participated in the study and they were in the third semester. A classroom action research was employed to answer the research problems. Three cycles were done to complete this action research. Based on the score result gathered from the cycles, the students’ reading comprehension improved. The student’s scores were not more than sixty because they did not understand intensively rereading activities in cycle one. But students’ score increased in cy- cle two and cycle three. In cycle three, rereading activities followed transformed practice (critical framing) lead the better improvement in their reading comprehension

Online Interactive Teacher Talks In ELT: A Sociocultural and Interactionist Analysis
Full text linkEducation plays a pivotal role in shaping individuals by fostering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor growth while instilling values like character and morality. In English language teaching (ELT), teacher-student interaction is essential for developing linguistic and communicative competence. Frameworks such as socio-cultural theory and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emphasize meaningful dialogue, scaffolding within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), and authentic communication. An observed Online ELT classroom interaction highlighted scaffolding techniques, error correction, vocabulary clarification, and conversational repair mechanisms. Using conversation analysis principles, the study identified evidence of scaffolding and features like turn-taking and negotiation of meaning. The findings revealed how interactive teacher talk fosters learner progression toward independent language use, aligning with Vygotsky’s mediation theory and the interactionist perspective. Repair strategies and dynamic turn-taking enhanced communicative competence, while CLT’s focus on real-world communication prepares learners for practical language application. These elements illustrate how linguistic input, feedback, and contextualized communication converge in teacher-student interactions, creating a dynamic process that supports language acquisition and prepares learners for authentic communication in real-world contexts
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
