This study aimed to investigate the use of interactional metadiscourse markers in 168 comments made by 28 university students of engineering via an educational forum held as part of a general English course. The students wrote their comments on six topics, with a total of 19,671 words. Their comments during educational discussions were analyzed to determine their use of five metadiscourse categ...

In the title compound, C(24)H(25)N(3)S(2), the S-bound benzene rings have orthogonal [dihedral angle = 85.31 (9)°] and splayed [67.92 (11)°] orientations with respect to the pyrimidine ring; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 48.18 (12)°. The pentyl group has an extended all-trans conformation and lies to one side of the pyrimidine ring [the N(py)-C(py)-C(p)-C(p) torsion angle = -8...

In the title compound, C(11)H(11)ClN(4)O(3)S, the S atom is bonded in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, by two O atoms, a C atom of the benzene ring and an amino N atom. The essentially planar pyrimidine ring [maximum deviation = 0.020 (1) Å] forms a dihedral angle of 87.57 (5)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, pairs of mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bo...

abstractin the present study, attempt has been made to examine the effectiveness of peer and teacher scaffolding in reading comprehension of intermediate efl students in symmetrical and asymmetrical groups. to do so, sixty intermediate students were purposively selected out of 150 intermediate students in hamadan islamic azad university and kish language institute in hamadan. they were divided ...

This essay focuses on metadiscourse, a name for elements of texts that convey meanings other than  those  that  are  primarily  referential.    The  essay  provides  some  theoretical  background  to the  study  of  metadiscourse,  briefly  reviews  a  taxonomy  of  metadiscourse,  and  explores  four reasons why the study of metadiscourse is interesting and important: (a) Such study shows how ...
