Abstract

The current study aimed to explore what types of teacher humor EFL students prefer in their classes. The study was designed as a mixed-method approach, using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect data in two different Vietnamese universities. One hundred fifty-eight university students responded to the survey, and eight out of them were recruited as the participants for the interviews. The study results revealed that the types of jokes (M=4.41), riddles (M=4.08), and language play (M=4.15) were most favored. Besides, the participants' demographic information, including their gender and majors, affected their preferable types of teacher humor. Specifically, males showed more positive attitudes towards teacher humor than their counterparts. In terms of students’ majors, there were differences between non-English majors and English-majored students’ perceptions of irony, teasing, language play, visual and physical humor. Regarding the students’ positive attitudes towards teacher humor, EFL teachers should learn more about valuable strategies for using teacher humor in their classes due to the fact that they do not need to have a sense of humor to use it effectively.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the “Kiss up, kick down” culture in Vietnamese educational institutions and understand its implications on teachers at different stages of their career: novice, mid-career, and near-end. Using a qualitative approach, 15 participants were interviewed. The thematic analysis of interview data resulted in the identification of fifteen themes. They highlighted a pervasive culture driven by power dynamics and hierarchy, impacting interpersonal relationships, job satisfaction, professional growth, and mental well-being. Additionally, the culture was found to align with societal norms and was seen as a reflection of the collective culture and historical influences in Vietnam. The study underscores the need for systemic change and offers insights that could inform policy and practice aimed at creating healthier and more inclusive academic environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of self-reflection in enhancing empathy among Vietnamese tertiary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. Adopting a narrative inquiry approach, the research explores the experiences and perceptions of nine EFL teachers from various career stages in two Vietnamese institutions. The theoretical framework is grounded in the theory of reflective practice and transformative learning theories, offering a comprehensive lens to examine the interplay between reflective practices and empathy development in teaching. Through semi-structured interviews, the study uncovers several key themes: enhanced empathetic understanding through reflective practice, the facilitation of cross-cultural sensitivity, the intersection of self-reflection and empathy in pedagogical evolution, the enhancement of emotional intelligence, and the bridging of cultural and emotional gaps through reflective empathy. These findings suggest that reflective practices are instrumental in developing a deeper sense of empathy, which positively impacts teaching approaches, cultural awareness, and emotional intelligence.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the concerns of Vietnamese tertiary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their classrooms. As educational landscapes evolve with technological advancements, understanding educators’ perspectives on AI becomes crucial, especially in settings where technological integration is still emerging. The study involved semi-structured interviews with nine EFL teachers from two Vietnamese institutions, categorized into three career stages: novice, mid-career, and near-end career. This approach provided insights into the varying perceptions and challenges experienced by teachers at different professional phases. The findings revealed four main themes: “Technological Integration Challenges in EFL Classrooms,” highlighting the difficulties in incorporating AI tools into teaching practices; “Pedagogical Concerns and AI’s Impact on Teacher-Student Interaction,” expressing worries about how AI might alter traditional educational dynamics; “Professional Development and Readiness for AI Integration,” emphasizing the need for targeted training; and “Concerns about AI’s Impact on Student Learning Outcomes,” focusing on the effectiveness of AI in enhancing student achievement. These themes suggest a need for comprehensive professional development in AI, careful implementation that considers the human element in education, and adaptable strategies for AI integration across different career stages. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in education, highlighting specific challenges and needs in the Vietnamese tertiary EFL context.
