Abstract:
Scholars write scholarly articles to introduce new concepts and ideas. Unfortunately, not every learner or reader can understand every scholar’s work. One reason for this is that the language used in papers is profound, hence many learners find it difficult to cope with the language and understand the ideas put forward in papers. To overcome this problem, our focus in this research is to develop a teaching-based technique to guide learners toward a better way of understanding and learning from scholarly articles. The technique in this paper is validated in case studies with the support of evidence that shows it is a proof of learning concept which has significantly contributed to guiding students to better practice in their learning. In addition, the use of this technique helps to promote educational sustainability by developing students’ interest in appreciating and understanding scholarly articles
