Using translanguaging and English as a Lingua Franca to promote an inclusive multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment in Higher Educational Institutions in the UK by Meletiadou, Eleni

“…The current study employed a mixed-methods approach using classroom observations, focus group discussions, students’ pre- and post-tests and anonymous learning journals to explore the impact of translanguaging and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) on students’ writing performance when a multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment is used with learners in higher education in the UK Findings indicated that students overall had a very positive attitude towards translanguaging and ELF in terms of a multilingual approach towards comprehension in assessment as they facilitated content and language learning and enhanced students’ intercultural and multilingual awareness Moreover, they had a significant impact on students’ academic performance Finally, the article argues that monolingual ideologies should be abandoned due to the increasing drive towards globalization in Higher Education…”

Strong electron–phonon coupling in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene by Chen, C, Nuckolls, KP, Ding, S, Miao, W, Wong, D, Oh, M, Lee, RL, He, S, Peng, C, Pei, D, Li, Y, Hao, C, Yan, H, Xiao, H, Gao, H, Li, Q, Zhang, S, Liu, J, He, L, Watanabe, K, Taniguchi, T, Jozwiak, C, Bostwick, A, Rotenberg, E, Chen, Y

“…Calculations suggest that the formation of these flat-band replicas in superconducting MATBG are attributed to the strong coupling between flat-band electrons and an optical phonon mode at the graphene K point, facilitated by intervalley scattering. These findings, although they do not necessarily put electron–phonon coupling as the main driving force for the superconductivity in MATBG, unravel the electronic structure inherent in superconducting MATBG, thereby providing crucial information for understanding the unusual electronic landscape from which its superconductivity is derived.…”
