Abstract

The study of literature provides a civilizing effect on a society anywhere around the world. Through these English kinds of literature, there are aspects of English culture encapsulated in it. This could potentially help students to develop as global citizens, which understand not only the feelings, settings, culture and even thoughts conveyed through the literature but being able to apply it to the real world, as a global citizen. If young students are not able to get such valuable exposure in schools, where are they supposed to receive such valuable input? Through this study, it is aimed to provide an overview of how foreign literature English novels chosen by the Ministry of Education has expanded the students' perspective as a global citizen. This paper aimed to reveal the challenges faced by teachers in using these texts in completing the objectives of producing students as global citizens. Thus, by applying Louise Rosenblatt Transactional Theory, it scaffolds this study to examine the challenges faced by English teachers in incorporating global citizenship values through the teaching of foreign novels in English. Data was collected via classroom observations, document analysis and interviews on both teachers and students. The data collected from the interviews, observations and item analysis were analyzed and results were conveyed in different themes, on the challenges faced by the respondents.

Abstract

UNIPUS, a widely adopted learning management system (LMS) in tertiary universities in China, plays a prominent role in blended English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. However, there is a lack of critical review on how the application of UNIPUS is theoretically framed and how it contributes to the EFL teaching and learning. This study aims to critically review the existing research on the application of the LMS UNIPUS in blended EFL education. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, it systematically analyzed 29 studies retrieved from major databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, and VIP Database. Through content analysis of the selected articles, this study focused on three key aspects: spatial and temporal dimensions, theories that framed the application of UNIPUS, and the research methodologies employed. The findings offer a bird’s view on the application of UNIPUS in EFL context. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to enhance the effective use of UNIPUS in blended EFL education.
