Since that time, many definitions and various assessments have emerged (Kelonovskh, 2010). E-portfolio has turn out to be a popular pedagogical device on the higher academic landscape, often called a ―high effect practice‖ that has the capacity to generate transformative knowledge. After reflecting on the academic developments and undergraduate teaching practices with E-portfolio, we recognized regions of resonance with, and misalignment between, research literature and the problems of implementation. In this study, teachers’ experiences with Eportfolios are investigated, and a comparative analysis of these narratives along E-portfolio is presented. In this article, we provide a comprehensive literature review, an outline of the experiences, and a discussion about the inconsistencies springing up from the comparisons. The article finishes by proposing some tips for application and recommendations for furth...

In order to achieve these goals, a PBL e-portfolio based unit at the Faculty of Education in a University in Iran, Quchan was conducted both qualitatively and quantitatively. The quantitative result indicated a remarkable improvement in English syntactic component of writing proficiency among experimental group. The findings also indicated that ease of posting compositions, online evaluation, and self-assessment can facilitate learning. The qualitative result displayed that students, perceptions and conceptions have significant role on their learning. Also, it indicated that students with high perceptions and conceptions are able to adopt deep approach to learning. As a result, students who had high perceptions and conceptions in this study were the ones who meet significant growth on thei...

Through the analysis of authentic talk in interaction, this study aims to ponder nonstandard (situation-derived) meanings of the term mordan and its different SBUs. The primary focus of the study is on strings of linguistic events as well as the “conventions of usage” (Morgan 1978) or cultural understanding that may lead to standard and nonstandard meanings considering mordan and its different SBUs. The findings suggest that the SBUs regarding mordan, a neglected sociolinguistic context, not only is affected by its actual situational characteristics but also by prior context encoded in utterances used, which manifests culture-specific ways of thinking (Capone 2018; Wong 2010). Overall, 19 SBUs and 7 generic categories were identified ...
