Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the perceptions of Vietnamese tertiary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers regarding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on student creativity in language learning. Amidst the rapid integration of AI in educational contexts, this research focuses on a relatively unexplored area: the intersection of AI technology and creative language pedagogy in the Vietnamese educational setting. Nine EFL teachers from two institutions in Vietnam, representing novice, mid-career, and near-end career stages, participated in semi-structured interviews. The study employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Creativity in Language Learning Framework (CLLF) as its theoretical basis. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed four key themes: the perceived impact of AI on creative language practice, challenges in integrating AI with creative pedagogy, varied perceptions of AI’s role in developing student autonomy, and the impact of AI on traditional teaching methods and teacher roles. The findings indicated a spectrum of perspectives, from viewing AI as a beneficial tool for creative engagement to concerns over its potential to limit creative thinking and traditional pedagogical approaches. The study highlights the complexity of integrating AI into language learning and its influence on both teaching practices and student creativity.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the impact of streamers’ swearing on the morality of Vietnamese teenagers, a topic of increasing importance in the era of digital streaming and online entertainment. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with nine Vietnamese teenagers, providing in-depth insights into their perceptions and attitudes towards the language used by streamers and its influence on their behavior. The thematic analysis of the interview data revealed four key themes: normalization of swearing in digital spaces, delineation between online and offline behaviors, influence of streamers as role models, and critical reflection and selective adoption. The study found that while swearing by streamers was normalized in digital contexts, participants also demonstrated a clear distinction between acceptable behaviors in online and offline environments. Streamers were often viewed as influential role models, affecting the language and attitudes of the adolescents. However, participants also engaged in critical reflection, selectively adopting behaviors that aligned with their personal and cultural values. These findings contribute to the understanding of digital media’s impact on adolescent development, particularly in non-Western contexts. The study underscores the complex interplay between cultural norms, digital media consumption, and moral development, highlighting the need for comprehensive digital literacy and ethical content creation in the digital age.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the relational tools used by Vietnamese EFL teachers in higher education, a critical yet underexplored aspect in the field of language education. Focusing on the perspectives of nine Vietnamese EFL teachers from two institutions, representing various career stages (novice, mid-career, and near-end), this research provides in-depth insights into the strategies employed to build and maintain effective teacher-student relationships. Employing semi-structured interviews, the study revealed three key themes: building rapport through personalized learning, nurturing a supportive classroom environment, and emphasis on empathy and understanding. These themes highlight the importance of tailoring teaching to individual student needs, creating inclusive and supportive classroom atmospheres, and employing empathy in understanding student challenges. The findings underscore the role of relational pedagogy and sociocultural theory in enhancing the effectiveness of EFL teaching and learning. The study also sheds light on the unique context of Vietnamese higher education, where cultural nuances play a significant role in the dynamics of language education. This study contributes to the broader discourse on EFL teaching methodologies, emphasizing the critical role of teacher-student relationships in successful language acquisition.
