Structure of Academic Text/ Before, During and After Reading
Here are my responses to the reading comprehension questions:
- This study suggests that how we use social media like Twitter may depend on whether we are using a mobile device or computer. Being aware of this could help me understand differences in how I and others communicate on these platforms based on the device. It may also influence how companies approach marketing and messaging for different devices.
- Personality likely influences how we choose to use technologies, but technologies can also shape our behaviors over time. Things like needing to be brief on mobile may encourage more direct/informal language. But core personality traits still drive our initial tendencies. It's a two-way relationship between person and tool.
- This adds nuance to assumptions about Twitter users.

Open ended Responses
The document provides information about preparing students for the open-ended response (OER) items on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exam. It discusses what a successful response includes, the skills assessed in the OER items, and best practices for teaching the skills in the English/Language Arts classroom. A successful response has a clear answer, multiple pieces of textual evidence, and a connection between the answer and evidence. Teachers should model the skills, provide guided practice, and focus instruction on both individual skills and holistic response construction.
(317360107) reading literacy 1
This document discusses different approaches to teaching reading: bottom-up vs top-down. Top-down reading emphasizes global skills like predicting and inferring meaning from context. It is the prevailing approach in TESOL. However, the document argues that for many Arabic students, top-down alone may not be effective because they have not developed strong bottom-up skills in letter recognition, word identification and decoding. The document suggests students first need instruction to develop automaticity in basic bottom-up skills before higher-level comprehension is possible. Questions are raised about Arabic students' bottom-up reading abilities and whether current instruction adequately addresses their needs. An alternative perspective emphasizing bottom-up processing before top-down is presented.

The research synthesis example g-lv_2003
The document provides guidance for conducting a research synthesis. It discusses the purpose of a research synthesis, which is to gain in-depth knowledge of studies in one's area of interest. It also lists several questions researchers should aim to answer when reviewing a research article, such as the problem investigated, debates in the field, research questions, methods used, findings, and how the article can contribute to one's own thesis. The document uses an example research article by García & López-Velásquez (2003) to illustrate how to extract these details and demonstrate understanding of the key elements of a research study.
Sample of construct bilingualism
The document discusses various definitions of bilingualism that have been proposed over time. Bloomfield's (1933) definition characterized bilingualism as near native control of two languages, but Baker (2006) noted this was too maximalist. Diebold (1964) defined it as basic abilities in a second language. Thiery (1978) saw a "true bilingual" as accepted in both language communities, but Grosjean (1982) questioned if this excluded people who learned a second language later in life. There is no single agreed upon definition as bilingualism can take various forms depending on the individual or community.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Towards composing your lit review in progress
- 1. Towards Composing your Lit Review in Progress
- 2. The lit review A “dinner party” with your authors. What’s your place in your “dinner party”?
- 3. Literature Reviews are about… RELEVANCE to the research topic
- 4. Towards your Lit Review Writing 1. Review findings and main concepts of your article syntheses. Make sure you understand the findings and the concepts. 2. Compare research idea and questions with article findings. Determine RELEVANCE 3. Start composing your review. Think about a topic sentence that guides the reader to the study you will review.
- 5. Compare and Determine Relevance (1 hour) (On this side of paper) Research questions (On this side of paper) Findings from articles reviewed How do college EFL students acquire teaching-related vocabulary? What are the students’ perspectives on their own vocabulary acquisition process? (Howard & Field, 2008) •Children acquire new words through associations. •High school students consider vocabulary knowledge important for reading in an L2. (Nagy et al., 1993) • Young bilinguals can’t automatically transfer cognate knowledge •With some instruction, young bilinguals make connections between their languages.
- 6. An example • Topic: Example: reading comprehension among college students • Article: Nagy, Garcia, & Hancin-Bhatt (1993) • Important findings: – The Hispanic children (6th grade) did not always recognize cognate words in the English text because they could not recognize the cognate word in Spanish. -The researchers noticed that the children learned how to identify a cognate word after showing the children examples and after giving them simple instruction. The relevance: Cognates can be a great aid for reading comprehension.
- 7. Cognates are words that share an original root and that may have similar spelling and meaning across two languages. For example, the word “impecable” is a cognate word in English and Spanish. In EFL reading, cognate words are an important resource for readers to comprehend English text. Nevertheless, research has shown that for some students, cognate words are not always available to make meaning out of text. A study by Nagy, Garcia, & Hancin-Bhatt (1993) evidenced that 6th grade Spanish-English bilinguals do not always recognize cognates. In their study, Nagy et al. (1993) chose as participants 10 Hispanic children … (describe the methodology). The researchers found that ….(describe findings). These findings suggest that although cognate words seem easy to recognize, we cannot take for granted that students will always recognize them. For the young readers in the Nagy et al. (1993) study, the lack of Spanish vocabulary hindered their capacity to recognize cognate words in English.
- 8. Format for reporting studies in a lit review In a (qualitative/quantitative) study by (author/s, year) with (participants and context), the researchers found that (finding). This finding is relevant to the topic of this research because (reason). However, (question or gap).
- 9. Remember! At this point of your research process, everything is still tentative. However, your writing needs to fulfill the following requirements: – Research idea needs to make sense. It has to be possible to conduct. – Research questions need to be well formulated and possible to answer. Ask yourself what you’ll do to answer the question. – Your lit review-in-progress needs to be in general relevant to your research idea. Lit review needs to represent the articles accurately (don’t misinterpret the findings from studies!)
