commentText="reference||In an examination of the extent to which corpus data inform coursebook writing, Burton ( 2012 ) compared the stance of applied linguists and publishers and made the following somewhat depressing observation: “The only incentive for real change is demand from the market” (Burton 2012 , p. 97). Market feedback is, for example, credited with a reduction of inferential comprehension questions and an increase in explicit questions in the revision of one coursebook series; these changes were made because the earlier edition was judged “a bit diffi cult” (Freeman 2014 , p. 101) and so was seen as less attractive to potential purchasers. While no-one could blame publishers for paying attention to commercial imperatives, for the publishing industry is unlikely to benefi t from a spate of bankruptcies, one could ask about the extent to which coursebooks are informed by research about effective language learning.||2024-01-16 14:29:49||Osama||reference||In an examination of the extent to which corpus data inform coursebook writing, Burton ( 2012 ) compared the stance of applied linguists and publishers and made the following somewhat depressing observation: “The only incentive for real change is demand from the market” (Burton 2012 , p.\n While no-one could blame publishers for paying attention to commercial imperatives, for the publishing industry is unlikely to benefi t from a spate of bankruptcies, one could ask about the extent to which coursebooks are informed by research about effective language learning.||2024-01-16 14:25:44||me||reference||Here, there may be some interplay with the frequency principle;\n learner attention may be directed away from low frequency items in a set and towards high frequency items.\n To illustrate the interference effects that coursebooks can, no doubt unintentionally, cause, consider the introduction to words for describing colours in four randomly selected introductory level coursebooks (Bygrave 2012 ;\n All introduce words for colours at approximately the same point in the course, and in all cases these words are introduced as a lexical set.\n In other words, neither the interference nor the frequency principle seems to be operating.\n Both include three words from the second thousand word family list – grey , orange , and pink – and the book with the longest list also includes purple , which comes from the 3000 word family list.||2024-01-16 14:14:29||me||reference||mis amigos                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                 ||2023-02-28 16:44:08||Fernando||reference||∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                            . ∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                            ∞                                                                                                                         ||2023-02-24 15:17:37||Grace||reference||.                                                                                                                            .                                                                                                                            ******\\ The singularity is near!
