Abstract

A staple issue in English language teaching is the fact that individual students in formal classrooms usually have minimal opportunity to speak due to large class sizes. Recent studies have vouched language laboratories to be capable of overcoming this barrier. As far as the researchers know, no study has launched a wide investigation whether a language laboratory exists and is used to optimise the English learning in the Islamic schools in Majene, Indonesia. This research applies descriptive quantitative design, involving 22 Islamic schools in the level of junior high school. 22 English teachers that represents all the schools filled a questionnaire to provide the data. It is found that the Islamic schools at Majene do not yet have a language laboratory even though the English teachers consider it important. Its absence is influenced by the lack of support from leaders. As a result, listening practice activities are rarely carried out. English teachers only carry out practical activities in the classroom with limited tools and materials. This research illuminates a concern for policy makers in the Ministry of Religious Affairs in the field of Islamic school education and the principals to hold a language laboratory at Islamic Schools. To improve English learning activities, the existence of a language laboratory in Islamic schools is matter, so that students at Islamic schools can show their quality in foreign language mastery and compete with others.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a profound influence on various facets of modern-day society, notably within the realm of education. Its application in educational settings is extensive, primarily aimed at improving the methods of instruction and knowledge acquisition. Thus, this research investigates the impact of AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Bard) on the creative writing skills of Nigerian undergraduates using a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design. Eighty (80) third-year undergraduates participated in the study. Data were collected using pretest-posttest writing tasks. The writing scripts were graded using creative writing assessment rubrics. Paired sample t-test analysis was conducted to compare the pretest-posttest writing scores using SPSS. The results of the analysis showed a significant improvement in the participants’ overall writing scores after using the AI tools. The results also show significant improvement in all the aspects of creative writing: image, voice, characterization and story. Finally, the study makes some recommendations for practice and further studies.

Abstract

In the context of classroom communication, offering Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF) carries several advantages for enhancing students' proficiency in speaking a foreign language. It is crucial for pre-service teachers to possess the necessary skills to deliver constructive OCF to students. This research aimed to investigate the kinds of OCF provided by Pre-service EFL teachers. Two pre-service EFL teachers participated in this research. To gain data, the researchers employed recording and observation sheets to capture and document OCF within classroom settings. The data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The data were tabulated first. Then, each type was completed with an example of how they delivered it. After that, it was counted which type of OCF was mostly used by pre-service teachers. This research found that when providing oral comments, the two pre-service EFL teachers under observation had distinct preferences. While the other is still restricted, the first is very diversified. Nonetheless, elicitation is the OCF type that both of them employ the most frequently. This study provides benefits for different groups, the lecturer who handles teaching practicum subjects, students as foreign language learners, and pre-service EFL teachers themselves.

Abstract

Purpose Oral corrective feedback, despite its historical precedence, continues to captivate researchers' interest, driving ongoing discourse within the scholarly community. The existing body of research on this subject displays a degree of controversy, with divergent perspectives regarding its efficacy. While proponents endorse its utilization, opposing voices question its impact. This study seeks to identify research gaps within the last decade to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of oral corrective feedback literature.  Methodology Employing content analysis, data are extracted from pertinent documents, shedding light on the existing landscape.  Results/Findings This study suggests that while oral corrective feedback is widely used and debated in language learning, there is insufficient research addressing its potential drawbacks. It calls for further studies to fill this gap and ensure that oral corrective feedback practices effectively benefit language learners. Implications This study emphasizes the importance of future research in refining practices and ensuring positive outcomes in language education.
