I'm under the impression that references to data must be consistently made in the past tense (eg, In line 3 learner B showed her apprehension...) instead of in the present tense (eg, In line 3learner B shows her apprehension...).
Any thoughts on this?
PS I'm currently reading an article by Blin and Appel (2011) and they seem to combine both tenses for no obvious reason.
