Abstract

The inability to gain employment among the Malaysian graduates became a critical issue due to lack of 21st century skills. Higher learning institutions are urged to play their significant roles in producing graduates who have subject knowledge and relevant 21st century skills. There are many teaching strategies which are currently in practice at tertiary institutions, however more efficient approach is needed to produce well-balanced graduates. This present research proposed a promising approach which is blended learning with web-based technologies to improve students’ 21st century skills. Current literature indicated blended learning has not been sufficiently explored in English as Second Language (ESL) context. Thus, this study aimed to explore ESL learners’ blended learning experiences using innovative web-based technologies and to examine the effectiveness of the blended learning strategy in improving the learners’ 21st-century skills. Qualitative data were collected through phone call interviews with the participants and analyzed through thematic analysis. Working with a sample of bachelor degree students at a tertiary institution revealed the participants’ blended learning experience exceptionally improved their 21st-century skills in various ways. The result of this study contributes to the pedagogical aspects of ESL teaching and learning and the improvement of 21st century skills among the students.

Abstract

Globally, English courses intended for university students are conducted online due to the COVID-19, including in Asian countries. Hence, this systematic review paper attempts to review relevant studies regarding the Asian university students’ perspectives towards online English courses during COVID-19. This paper employs PRISMA, whereby several stages to filter and gather relevant information have been carried out. Twelve articles have been identified and analysed based on the research designs, methodologies, and themes. The main themes are positive and negative perspectives on online English courses learning during COVID-19, and suggestions to improve online English courses learning during COVID-19. It is found that university students in Asia are generally ready to learn online English courses due to flexibility and easy access. Poor internet connection and infrastructure are among negative perspectives towards the online English courses during COVID-19. It is recommended that improving technological infrastructure, conducting training programmes, and restructuring task assessments should be done to improve the quality of online English courses during COVID-19.

Abstract

Research has shown that using graphic novels in the classroom is one of useful approaches to promote the understanding of learners especially for lengthy and difficult literature texts. This study reports the extent of graphic novel in facilitating students’ understanding of literature and the students’ perceptions towards using graphic novel in learning literature (L2) as compared to other genre of texts. This is a mixed method study which employs quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain data. The findings indicate that most students found that graphic novel helped them to enrich their vocabularies and understand the text better. The findings also reveal that students were attracted to the illustrations in the literature text in which this helps to boost their motivation to learn literature in the classroom. The findings provide useful insights for English as Second Language (ESL) teachers in incorporating and expanding the literature learning through graphic novels in the future. The findings also imply the need of ESL teachers to use graphic novels effectively in facilitating their teaching and learning of literature in L2 classrooms particularly to suit the 21st century teaching and learning.

Abstract

Research on language learning strategies in Malaysia has been carried out extensively since mid 1990s. However, these studies have not covered the language learning strategies among native pupils in suburban primary school in Mukah, Sarawak. The main objective of the study was to identify the language learning strategies used by English as Second Language (ESL) learners. Data was collected using a survey questionnaire with 20 outstanding Year 5 ESL Iban learners in one of the suburban schools in Mukah, Sarawak. The instrument used in this study include a Language Strategy Use Questionnaire adapted from Language Strategy Use Inventory by Cohen, Oxford and Chi (2002). The adapted version of Language Strategy Use Questionnaire consists of 60 statements concerning the four major English language skills, namely listening, speaking and reading as well as acquisition of vocabulary and grammar. Data was analyzed through mean, frequency, percentage and standard deviation. The findings revealed that these learners were moderate users of listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary strategies and low users of speaking strategies. There were variations in responses with regard to the use of language learning strategies among primary school learners. The pedagogical implications of the findings are also discussed.

Abstract

The emergence of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused teachers shifting from conventional mode to emergency remote teaching with technology use. Nevertheless, review of technology acceptance level of teachers towards technology is limited, despite its significance in sustaining education during the pandemic. This study aimed to explore teachers’ technology acceptance level and factors affecting their intentions of accepting technology in the COVID-19 pandemic. With the adherence of preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement and list of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles which were published from 2020 to present and related to the research focus had been identified from Scopus and Web of Science databases. The findings depicted that most teachers hold high acceptance level towards using technology to deliver lessons during the COVID-19. There were five key factors affecting teachers’ intentions in accepting technology, namely: i) Perceived usefulness; ii) Perceived ease-of-use; iii) Attitude; iv) Social influence; and v) Facilitating conditions. This study has provided insight to stakeholders on teachers’ technology acceptance during the pandemic. Future studies are recommended to conduct systematic reviews on technology acceptance from students’ perspective by identifying published papers from more databases such as ERIC and Google Scholar.

Abstract

It was inevitable that during the COVID-19 pandemic, various teaching and learning experiences were taken into virtual platforms. With the direct and total integration of technology in education during the pandemic, students had to rely mostly on their own self-regulated learning in order to progress in their learning. This systematic review explored teachers’ perception on students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) in a technology-based learning (TBL) setting. By using the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 as the review methodology, 39 articles were selected from the databases of ERIC and Google Scholars to complete this study. Findings revealed that teachers perceive the following factors to play a significant part for SLR and TBL to complement each other: i) Digital educational resources and accessibility for both teachers and students; ii) Teacher and student’s readiness and competencies regarding technology-based learning; and iii) Parents’ involvement in students’ self-regulated learning for security and motivational purposes. It is believed that by implementing student-centered approach with the facilitation of various education stakeholders, students’ learning can occur more effectively, purposeful and meaningful. Future research suggests an investigation on students’ self-regulated learning from the perspective of parents and other related social issues.

Abstract

Abstract: Teachers and lecturers still play significant roles in guiding their learners in EFL classes in achieving academic success during their study and these educators may become exemplary to foster their learners’ reading habit so they discern reading any types of texts needed, This research objective is to investigate the types of EFL teaching methodologies in teaching reading frequently used by all lecturers teaching both at public and private universities in Riau. There were three methodologies were studied: Audio Lingual and Grammar Translation Methods (traditional or lecturers’ centered) and Communicative Language teaching (as learners’ centered). This study implemented a quantitative research design using 5-Likert Scale questionnaire and 97 respondents were involved in the research. The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics (measuring percentage, standard deviation, mean, and overall mean scores) and inferential statistics (independent t-test and one-way MANOVA). The research has revealed that CLT tended to be used more than AL and GTM. This implied that both public and private universities in Riau preferred using the CLT method. From the quantitative research findings, it showed that lecturers aged between 30 and 40 years old felt more confident in their use of this method compared to other age groups
