Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Transitions in ESL contexts generally refer to those linking words placed between sentences and between paragraphs. Transitions in writing (and in speaking) are helpful; they facilitate coherence and cohesion when used correctly. Understand- ing them when reading allows us to join the writer in seeing why and how idea B follows idea A. In this commentary I argue that transitions serve the same func- tion in the unfolding of ESL instructional experiences. Instructors have pre- planned the choreography, but is it transparent to the students? Should it be? What if we conceive of the ESL lesson as text—an essay in particular?En anglais langue seconde, quand on parle de transitions, on fait généralement référence aux mots de liaison entre une phrase et une autre, et un paragraphe et un autre. Les transitions sont utiles à l’écrit (et à l’oral) ; quand elles sont bien employées, elles augmentent la cohérence et la cohésion du message. Quand le lecteur comprend les mots de transition, il voit la suite dans les idées de l’auteur. Dans cet article, j’affirme que les transitions servent la même fonction dans le déroulement des cours d’ALS. Les enseignants prévoient la chorégraphie, mais est-elle transparente pour les élèves ? Devrait-elle l’être ? Et si on concevait le cours d’ALS comme un texte – une dissertation, en fait?

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
