Abstract

Enhancing investment in globalized second language learning can be achieved through the continuous professional development of EFL teachers. Previous research suggests that significant growth in professional development occurs when accompanied by reflective practice activities. These activities enable educators to critically assess their teaching practices, leading to improved learning outcomes for language learners. This small-scale library study aimed to explore the current implementation of reflective practice in second language education worldwide. A thematic analysis approach was employed to analyze findings from previous studies on reflective practices. This method allowed for the categorization of key themes, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of reflective practice's impact on language teaching. To enhance the reliability of the findings, 25 reflective practice studies published in national and international journals were selected. The identified themes provide insights into how second-language educators can design more effective learning materials and foster transformative learning experiences. By integrating reflective practices, EFL teachers can refine their instructional strategies, ultimately contributing to the advancement of second language education.Keywords: Library study; professional development; reflective practice; second language learning; thematic analysis.

Abstract

Transforming worldwide EFL learners into more proficient L2 speakers is a challenging mission as speaking is not merely about the meaningful communication occurrences among interlocutors but also the strong willingness shouldered by EFL learners to regulate their certain behaviors and actions to achieve the targeted learning objectives fully. The previous research results strongly suggested that EFL educators establish, nurture, and reinforce their learners’ self-regulation at the commencement of speaking-focused learning activities in order to make them more confident L2 speakers who are willing to share their thoughts with other classroom learning community members. This present small-scale library study was a little attempt initiated by the researcher to investigate the potential benefits of activating EFL learners’ self-regulation behavior in worldwide speaking learning contexts. To fulfill this main study objective, the researcher conducted a thematic analysis by reviewing 30 previous self-regulation studies conducted globally to obtain more comprehensible research results. The publication years of these 30 published self-regulation articles ranged from 2013 until 2022 to produce more reliable research results. Based on the thematic analysis, there were two major themes yielded namely: (1) Highly self-regulated EFL learners can become more organized L2 speakers, and (2) highly self-regulated EFL learners can transform into more successful L2 speakers. In conformance with these research results, second language-speaking learning instructors are strongly encouraged to cultivate self-regulation behavior within EFL learners at the beginning of learning activities to gradually make them become more high-achieving and self-reliant speakers defining the best strategies suitable for their current speaking learning situations.

There is a dire need for worldwide second language educators to sustainably invoke more interactive, favorable, and meaningful reading learning enterprises in which EFL learners are strongly willing to channel more effortful actions to hone their reading comprehension skills to the utmost development. KWL chart strategy can be one of the appropriate solutions to fulfill this reading learning demand by which EFL learners can activate their prior knowledge in harmony with the reading texts they are going to read, monitor their reading comprehension towards particular reading topics intensively, and profoundly evaluate their newly-acquired knowledge obtained through various passages. This present small-scale library study aimed to investigate the extent the KWL chart strategy can improve globalized EFL learners’ reading comprehension skills. 20 prior findings obtained from the KWL chart strategy in reading studies were thematically analyzed to yield more comprehensible and credible research results for the betterment of EFL reading learning enterprises nationwide. After analyzing those previous findings, two main research themes were generated namely: (1) KWL chart strategy transforms EFL learners into more spirited readers and (2) KWL chart strategy exceptionally escalates EFL learners’ reading proficiency level. In the end, it can be fairly concluded that the effective deployment of the KWL strategy not merely resulted in the significant enhancement of EFL learners’ reading comprehension skills but also their reading endeavor and knowledge.

Concerning this matter, the immediacy of corroborating EFL educators’ self-efficacy is considered crucially important since they believe in their existing competencies to accomplish the demanding working loads given by educational institutions. This present small-scale qualitative library study was an apparent attempt to signify the critical role of self-efficacy to be activated at the beginning of Indonesian EFL teachers’ teaching careers. To fulfill this main study purpose, 25 previously-related EFL teachers’ self-efficacy studies were selected to shed enlightenment for our educational stakeholders to start prioritizing their teachers’ significant self-efficacy development to promote more holistic language learning enterprises for learners. To ensure the eligibility and relevancy of reviewed research results, the researcher also employed a thematic analysis. There were two major specific themes yielded from an in-depth thematic analysis namely: (1) Highly self-efficacious EFL educators can potentially promote a conducive-friendly classroom climate and (2) the robust growth of self-efficacy progressively transfigures EFL educators into more persistent figures. From these two subdivided themes, it was implied that through the constant elevation of self-efficacy, EFL educators will be more professional initiators who are successful in terms of promoting positively-sound learning vicinities and preserving their best working performances amidst various educational complexities.        Keywords: Professionalism, Self-Efficacy, EFL Teachers, Library Study

Abstract

During the taxing L2 communicative enterprises undergone by Indonesian EFL learners, language teachers are heavily instigated to erect a more critical standpoint in picking up the most appropriate speaking learning approaches, strategies, and activities working best for the entire learners. This document analysis study was run to profoundly investigate 20 previous foreign language-speaking anxiety literature concerning the contributing factors and probable strategies that can potentially alleviate this psychological phenomenon. Two alleviating foreign language speaking anxiety strategies were proposed as follows: (1) The internalization of more innovative L2 speaking learning activities and (2) The existence of more enjoyable L2 speaking learning circumstances. At the end of the subsection, the researcher expectantly hoped prospective Indonesian EFL speaking learning experts, practitioners, policy-makers, and educationalists to promote a more positive speaking classroom atmosphere, constant speaking learning guidance, and various contextual speaking learning materials to progressively minimize learners’ foreign language speaking anxiety as well as foster their L2 communicative competencies into a greater level.
