摘要： A paucity of authentic language data has made the teaching of certain spoken genres which occur in formal professional settings a challenging task in the Sri Lankan L2 classroom. The Welcome Address (WA), an integral part of the agenda of many Sri Lankan professional events, is one such hitherto unexplored genre. The aim of this study was to identify lexico-grammatical and rhetorical features of the WA that could be used for developing effective pedagogical materials for a Business English course with a module on Special Occasion speeches. For this purpose, a specialized corpus of 20 WAs was compiled, and lexical patterns were identified using AntConc and Compleat Lexical Tutor. Swales' (1990) move structure analysis was applied to identify typical rhetorical functions of the genre. The results reveal that the WA has three obligatory moves and one optional move. Keywords, n-grams and frequency lists all reveal language patterns central to genre specific language acquisition. The results of the analysis enable the design of pedagogical materials focusing on move structure, communicative purposes, and sentence level grammar and lexis. The paper concludes with sample lesson materials for teaching the construction of an effective WA in a professional context in Sri Lanka. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要： Problem: Professional organizations and governmental agencies report there is a need to prepare dental hygiene students for non-traditional and highly autonomous roles in clinical practice. Students must be able to think critically about patient care overall. Novel pedagogical strategies such as flipped lectures, peer-led learning, and case-based learning are common in predoctoral dental education programs to prepare dental students for autonomous decision-making in clinical practice. The literature lacks evidence for use of these practices in dental hygiene education. Purpose: This study was designed to address dental hygiene student self-confidence in the clinic towards preparation to non-traditional and autonomous clinical roles. Classroom instruction was modified from a traditional lecture based instructional method towards a student-centered model, where lectures were flipped to be online, and in-class work consisted of case studies led by fellow students. All three student centered pedagogies are common in predoctoral dental education, and it is common to find them integrated together. This study was designed to add to the body of research for innovative student-centered pedagogical methods in dental hygiene education. Methods: Data from three cycles of senior dental hygiene students (n=53) were compiled and summarized using descriptive statistics. This was a mixed-methods study including both quantitative Likert scale questions, and an open-ended summary question to collect qualitative results. Quantitative data was compared using ANOVA with post hoc pairwise comparisons to determine specific differences among cohorts. All post hoc pairwise comparisons were adjusted for using Tukey's adjustment. Significance level was 0.05. Results: There was a significant change in agreement for the statements regarding whether the student enjoyed learning in this method (p-value=0.0204), the increased amount of work in this format (p-value=0.0435), the small group discussio
