*** Potential audience: Post-graduate students writing up their thesis ***
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.

No idea yet. But I'm going to have to make a decision about that this week, after meeting my supervisors and discussing this with them.
