Abstract

Previous studies have revealed that social media (SM) was implemented in EFL (hereafter, EFL) students’ online informal learning of English (OILE). However, the information about learning goals, pros, and cons of doing these activities remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to explore (1) the learning goals of online informal learning of English via SM and (2) the students' perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of using SM to facilitate OILE. This basic qualitative study recruited 14 EFL students at a university in Indonesia to join in semi-structured interviews. The interview results were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings revealed that EFL students engaged in OILE via SM for various goals (mostly for form-focused and meaning-focused goals), focusing on learning and practicing language skills. However, those learning goals primarily focused on form than meaning. In addition, the participants confessed that doing OILE brought advantages to cognitive and affective domains. Unfortunately, the participants also perceived that doing such OILE also brought some disadvantages. From the findings, we offered some implications to advance EFL learning through OILE via SM.

Abstract

Since the paradigm for teaching reading has shifted from traditional literacy to multimodal literacy, prior research has demonstrated that augmented reality (AR) technology can successfully improve conventional literacy in general language learning. Only a few research, particularly in English for Nurse courses, have examined the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve multimodal literacy in ESP learning. The purpose of this study was to determine how AR technology affects nursing students' multimodal literacy in ESP learning and how they communicate with others through a variety of multimodal modalities to improve their multimodal literacy in medical English. Fifty nursing students enrolled in English for Nursing courses participated in the study to share their experiences using this multimodal ESP learning survey to improve their medical English literacy. In the auditory mode, background music and sound effects were used to elicit strong emotions and improve immersive experiences. The results also showed a significant improvement in nursing students' multimodal English literacy skills when the material was created for a location-based augmented reality application. The findings revealed that nursing students used three modes in AR (visual, imaging, and animations). The three modes were used to help viewers comprehend complex material, give them specific ideas, and encourage participation.

Abstract

The most crucial relationships for students' social and emotional development and wellbeing are those between parents and pupils. While there is a wealth of research on programs to enhance parent-child connections, few are designed for use by educators in early education and care settings. This study aims to describe teachers' comprehension of the parent-child relationship concerning social and emotional development, the teacher's role in fostering the parent-child relationship, and the forms of teacher support in the parent-child relationship. This research method is a qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological design involving six school principals and twenty teachers at the elementary education level as research subjects. The results showed that early education teachers were reluctant to contact parents, although acknowledging the importance of parent-child interactions. Teachers tended to be unwilling to impart their knowledge to parents since it was primarily implicit and derived from observations and real-world experiences. Teachers want theoretical, supported evidence methods to deepen their understanding and enhance everyday activities that strengthen parent-child interactions. The results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program led by educators for implementation in educational and childcare facilities. A comprehension of educators' regular practices, their function in promoting parent-child connections, and children's social and emotional development should be explored to guide the creation of an educator program. These results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program developed by educators for use in educational and childcare settings.

Abstract

Early exposure to English is very important as it is crucial for learners to acquire English language at early age as English is a global language that is used not only in the level of primary and secondary school but also in tertiary level of education. Schools can be one of the important roles in influencing second language acquisition, particularly English language. However, most schools did not consider acquiring English from the perspective of learners’ fluency and rarely consider movements or approaches that they can take to improve ESL learning among students. This study intended to investigate the influence of school settings and routines on ESL learning among secondary students. A qualitative method is used in this study as data were collected through the method of observation and interview. The observation period throughout the process of collecting data has been conducted based on a field note specifically prepared for this study. The participants involved in this study were all-girl school students located in Selangor. The gathered data were then interpreted in the findings analysis. Based on this study, it was proven that there are co-relations between the school settings and routines on ESL learning among secondary students. It was found that school settings and routines do influence ESL learning among secondary students. Discussion and recommendations are further explained in this study. Thus, it is hoped for future researchers to conduct further research on related factors that might help to contribute in ESL learning among ESL learners.

Abstract

The advancement of technology has supported the implementation of e-portfolios in students speaking performance, which can be described as a digital tool where students can collect and store their projects online for quick access as long as their devices have an internet connection. However little is known has qualitatively explored how e-portfolio influence students’ cognitive development in relation to their speaking performance. It is thereby leading to a lack of literature on this topic. This research, therefore, aims to examine how e-portfolios will influence cognitive development in students’ speaking performance using a qualitative method. A phenomenological qualitative study design consisting of note-taking and semi-structured interview methods was used to obtain data from 33 eleventh-grade students ranging between 17-18 years old. The interview data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis; meanwhile, the note-taking was analyzed using content analysis to support the thematic analysis. The result showed that the students had a cognitive development on their speaking performance in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. Moreover, students showed the benefits of peer feedback in e-portfolio activities, which enhanced their awareness and led them to identify strengths and weaknesses as well as to recognize the area for improvement in their speaking performance.
