Abstract

Oral language skill among EFL students can be indicated from willingness to communicate in English. This current study aimed to investigate pre-service EFL teachers’ (PST) willingness to communicate (WTC) in English across rural setting. A survey study with 217 EFL students as the participants selected through a convenience sampling was employed. A questionnaire of the willingness was distributed through in-class meeting and online mode. The first result revealed that there is a variety of perceptions on oral skill willingness, self-confidence, and English use frequency. The second result showed that from junior and senior PST, it is noted that seniors mostly overdid juniors in terms of willingness to speak English. Meanwhile, female PST had greater levels of WTC if compared to that of the males. In conclusion, WTC not only emerge to be a valuable aspect in learning oral language skills, but also impact on other English skills indirectly.

Abstract

Technology has empowered rural school learners to learn English actively without any hesitation. This study aimed to describe how rural EFL learners state their emotional and behavioral approaches to learning English using technology. A total of 119 learners who were registered in rural schools voluntarily participated in a survey study. Quantitative data were collected as an online survey by administering a scale on technology use tendency. Percentages were focused on determining learners’ tendency levels. The results reveal that rural EFL learners tended to be involved in technology integration classes. Such technology increased enthusiasm, participation, creativity, and task completion. However, some learners did not align with the integration, as technology was believed to support learning but not replace a teacher. Discussion and implied recommendations are provided to emphasize the results.
