Approaches to Pronunciation Instruction in Communicative Language Teaching Classrooms

Journal of Studies in Education, 2021
One of the main factors that affects pronunciation instruction in the classroom is the educators’ teaching approach. Various elements like L1 (first language), cultural backgrounds, et cetera would influence teaching pronunciation, making English teachers deploy different pedagogical approaches for the learning process to occur.

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for

Integrating Form and Meaning in L2 Pronunciation Instruction

TESL Canada Journal, 2009
One of the central challenges of ESL teaching is striking the right balance between form and meaning. In pronunciation pedagogy, this challenge is compounded because repetitive practice, which has been shown to enhance phonological acquisition and promote fluency, is widely viewed as being incompatible with communicative principles.

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Reflecting on pronunciation instruction in the Polish English classroom: Learners’ perspective

Research in Language
Pronunciation remains a controversial aspect of English instruction, both in theory and practice, with the dichotomy between “nativeness” and “intelligibility” (Levis, 2005) directing research into the exploration of learner and teacher views as to what

Aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 impact the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma spheroids

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of aquaporin‐3 (AQP3) and aquaporin‐5 (AQP5) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both proteins are upregulated in PDAC and are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential. Silencing AQP3 or AQP5 in PDAC spheroids results in decreased diameter, area, and overall growth, underscoring their key ...

The effects of explicit phonetic instruction during a short-term, Spanish-language study abroad program

Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics
While both Study Abroad (SA) and L2 pronunciation instruction (L2PI) are regarded as promising approaches for enhancing L2 pronunciation, some studies question the extent of their effects on pronunciation, indicating a need for further research ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness in L2 speech: Effects of explicit pronunciation instruction and task-supported language teaching

Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics
While explicit instruction helps L2 learners in pronunciation learning (Lee et al., 2015; Saito & Plonsky, 2019), task-based language teaching enhances second language (L2) pronunciation development when learners are exposed to tasks that vary in ...
