Citations in the corpus
- The impact of online use of English on motivation to learn (2020, background): “The slight tendency for females to show more motivation than males reflects wellestablished trends in this academic area (Carr & Pauwels, 2006), while it is not surprising that those who are taking the voluntary supplementary English evening classes (Vol) report more motivated learning behavior…”
- The relationship between motivation, gender, L1 and possible selves in English-medium instruction (2016, background): “The results also seem to indicate that EMI may help to dilute the gender-related differences found in many previous studies (Carr & Pauwels, 2006; Dörnyei et al., 2006; Kissau, 2006).”
- The impact of CLIL on affective factors and vocabulary learning (2015, background): “Some studies show that males do not do as well in foreign language learning, and that they are more likely than females to drop foreign languages (FL) (Carr & Pauwels, 2006; Clark & Trafford, 1995).”
- Developing reading fluency and comprehension using repeated reading: Evidence from longitudinal student reports (2010, background): “…gap in awareness may stem from prevailing attitudes in FL education towards reading as a vehicle for the study of lexis and grammar (Bernhardt, 1991) and test preparation (Carr & Pauwels, 2006), or beliefs about the primacy of oral language as the goal for lower-division FL courses (Maxim, 2006).”
- The motivational dimension of language teaching (2017, background): “Debate continues over whether the underlying source of these differences is biological, social or educational (Carr & Pauwels 2006) but there have been several noteworthy attempts to overcome the male deficit.”
