Abstract

In L2 speaking learning contexts, highly self-efficacious EFL learners are characterised as speakers capable of sharing their ideas confidently with other interlocutors as they have put a higher degree of belief towards their current speaking competencies. In support of self-efficacy, EFL learners are strongly willing to proceed with the complex speaking learning processes as they are prompted to foster their L2 communicative competencies to the utmost level. This small-scale library study was initiated to reveal the potential impacts of self-efficacy on EFL learners’ speaking skills. To achieve the primary study objective, 30 previous self-efficacy studies were profoundly reviewed with a thematic analysis to yield more understandable and trustworthy research results. Based on the obtained research results, it is strongly suggested that second language-speaking learning instructors infuse the robust construction of self-efficacy within EFL learners since they can progressively transform into more successful and confident L2 speakers. In conclusion, a higher degree of self-efficacy growth allows EFL learners to persistently confront various speaking learning impediments due to the successful employment of their speaking learning strategies mutually interlinked with the current speaking learning situations.   Keywords: Self-efficacy; Speaking skills; EFL learners.

Abstract

This library study sought to investigate the implementation of online learning activities during the Covid-19 outbreak. To increase the reliability, robustness, and comprehensibility forming in this small-scale library study, the researcher employed a thematic analysis while clustering the most identical research findings from 30 previous online learning activity studies into some thematically categorized themes. As the topmost prioritization of this small-scale library investigation was to generate more comprehensible, relatable, and applicable research results beneficial for the betterment of worldwide English language teaching-learning enterprises, the researcher selected 30 published online learning activity investigations uploaded in varied journal article platforms ranging from 2020 to the 2022 year. Based on the data agglomeration final results, online learning activities promoted various advantages and disadvantages concerning EFL learners’ target language proficiency levels advancement and habitual classroom learning vicinities. Anchoring on this unassailable fact, globalized educational institutions and second language educators should work hand-in-hand to invent more contextual online learning dynamics currently matching with nowadays EFL learners’ learning needs, skills, and preferences.

Abstract

Too much concentration and attention has been given to the significant degree of professional development growth without focusing on cultivating more robust educational motivation among globalized EFL educators. To compensate for this previous research drawback, this small-scale library study attempted to profoundly investigate the extent strong motivation strategies can impart extensive support for worldwide EFL educationalists to induce more supportive and positive second language learning climates in the presence of heterogeneous learners. Thus, the researcher thematically analyzed the identical findings generated by 30 previous EFL teachers’ motivational strategies studies. With the employment of a thematic analysis, the researcher could potentially yield more credible, relevant, and contextual research results since conscientious data interpretations were iteratively applied before grouping these particularly generated findings into some similar research theme categories. All these 30 previously published EFL teachers’ motivational strategies studies were adapted from 2017 to 2024 year. The last current 7 years of published studies were the topmost priority to ensure the trustworthiness of all the thematically-subsumed research findings to be in line with the major specific topic forming in this library investigation. The thematically divided research results revealed that robust EFL teachers’ motivational strategies significantly helped second language learners master the desired target language competencies and experience more enjoyable classroom learning climates.

Abstract

This small-scale library study explores the role of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) in optimizing EFL learners’ writing processes. The researcher employed thematic analysis to analyze findings from 30 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2019 and 2024. Data were coded using an open-coding strategy and grouped into overarching themes. Two dominant themes emerged: (1) AWE enhanced EFL learners' writing skills, and (2) AWE cultivated writing autonomy. These findings suggest that AWE facilitates more independent, confident, and proficient writing practices. Implications for integrating AWE tools into EFL classrooms and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

Feedback is one of the crucial elements that determine the quality of the teaching and learning process. In the EFL writing learning realm, second language educationalists need to be more conscientious and selective before capitalizing on specific feedback types appropriate for learners’ writing learning contexts. One of the rewarding types of feedback approaches worth further activation in second language writing learning dynamics is peer assessment. Previous researchers contended that peer assessment could potentially promote emotionally-supportive and positively-sound writing learning dynamics in which EFL learners begin cultivating robust motivation to practice their writing skills to the utmost development. This small-scale library study employed a thematic analysis to analyze the findings of 20 previously peer-reviewed scientific articles. With the support of a thematic analysis, the researcher is more likely to yield more precise, credible, and contextualized results since the reviewed findings are categorized into identical research themes. From the thematic analysis research results, peer assessment is proven to be an expedient pedagogical approach to be internalized at the onset of second language writing learning dynamics, as this strategy is a propelling force for strategic writing development, academic self-regulation, writing performance, confidence, and learner collaboration. From the above-depicted research outcomes, it is indispensable for educators to ascertain the meaningful use of peer assessment in order to promote fruitful writing learning outcomes in the presence of heterogeneous learners.

Abstract

This study investigated the role of Grammarly as an automated writing evaluation (AWE) tool in supporting EFL learners’ writing development. A library-based review was conducted, analyzing findings from 30 empirical studies published between 2018 and 2025. A thematic analysis approach was employed to identify common patterns across the selected literature. The review showed that Grammarly primarily contributed to improvements in writing accuracy, linguistic proficiency, and surface-level mechanics. The tool also supported the development of learner autonomy, strategic revision skills, and motivation when integrated into classroom writing activities. However, the reviewed studies indicated that Grammarly remained limited in addressing higher-order writing skills such as organization, coherence, and idea development. These findings highlighted the importance of combining AWE tools with teacher feedback to achieve balanced writing instruction. The study offered insights relevant to international educators seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting AWE tools to enhance EFL writing pedagogy.
