Abstract

Although there is a plethora of literature studies on self-regulation, self-efficacy, and academic writing, the detailed investigation of these three aspects in EFL doctoral students is scant. This study examined doctoral students self-regulation and self-efficacy in academic writing as potentially profound outcomes of their sojourning. Data were collected from narrative frames, narrative interviews, and Focus Group Discussions to explain all related dimensions of the successive EFL academic writings of eight doctoral students studying abroad. The thematic analysis of the data revealed that the participants gradually developed a perception of self-regulation and self-efficacy in academic writing processes during their sojourning. Five self-regulation writing strategies were identified as contributing to the success of advanced academic writing: cognitive, metacognitive, social-behavioral, motivational regulation, and socio-cognitive strategies. These strategies were essential for doctoral students preparation programs to maximize writing productivity. The students academic writing self-efficacy developed through writing strategies, peer interactions, academic atmosphere, academic English exposure, research skills, study engagement, and social life as doctoral students. The contributing factors influencing the students writing achievement included their writing behaviors, writing efficacy, academic writing use, and sojourning experiences. These experiences covered writing traditions in the scholarly community, graduate school programs, the English-speaking context, discourse, the supervisordoctoral student relationship, international academic communication, and other writing accomplishments. The findings imply a reciprocal relationship between their perceived writing self-efficacy and their progressive self-regulation in writing.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of the Spinning Wheel Game as a supplementary media to support English vocabulary acquisition among elementary school students. Vocabulary learning is essential for language development, particularly at early education levels. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, this research involved second-grade students and an English teacher. Research data were collected through semi-structured interview technique and classroom observation activity to explore students' engagement, motivation, and preferences while learning with the game. Data were analyzed using the interactive qualitative analysis model of Miles and Huberman, involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while methodological triangulation was employed to enhance the trustworthiness of the findings. The findings showed that the Spinning Wheel Game enhanced student interest, confidence, and participation. Students preferred interactive and visually engaging media over traditional textbook-based methods. Even passive students became more active during lessons. Despite some technical challenges, such as limited digital skills and access to devices, the game proved effective in creating an enjoyable and inclusive learning environment. The study concluded that game-based learning using tools like the Spinning Wheel can serve as a powerful strategy to improve vocabulary learning outcomes for English young learners
