Abstract

In the last two decades, teaching spoken English to EFL students has become a critical issue in the TESOL context. However, a few studies touch upon how EFL learners are taught to speak English spontaneously. Learning to speak English spontaneously in large classes becomes a big challenge for ESOL teachers because of space and time constraints. In response to this growing need, this article provides an empirical account of how modified role playing, more student-centered learning, is implemented as an innovative learning design in an EFL university setting where a large class is concerned. Data were garnered from open-ended and close-ended questionnaires, students’ personal narratives, and photovoices. These data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings of the study show that the students were finally able to survive in their speaking tasks, engaging them in a real-life communicative encounter. This study concludes with some pedagogical implications for how a teacher as a curriculum designer engages students in motivating and anxiety-free speaking tasks.

Abstract

In the last decade, Community of Practice (CofP) theory has been myriad investigated in some different contexts. However, in the educational field, it still remains sparsely to investigate this concept applied as a method in an EFL context to engage students in a research proposal project. To fill this gap, this participatory action research (PAR) attempts to examine the way of a CofP engages the students in writing up a research project proposal in English education department. Five recruited participants of the student teachers who follow a CofP were observed. The data were collected by using interview and photographs. The photographs were analysed by using SHOWED analysis (Wang, 1999). Then, the whole data were analysed thematically (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The results showed that the students in CofP were engaged in writing a proposal by (1) writing proposal as a shared domain, (2) members’ relationship in student-researcher club (SRC), and (3) joint activities in SRC. This study provides the empirical insights into the contributions of CofP toward student-researchers’ proposal writings.
