Abstract

The quality of assessment conducted by teachers plays an important role in ensuring students’ mastery of Malay language skills, particularly oral skills. Assessment through direct activities can highlight students’ true potential and skills. Therefore, this study aims to explore the forms of authentic assessment activities for Malay language oral skills in primary schools in Malaysia. The study design is qualitative, using a case study method involving one case across multiple locations. This study involves five Malay language teachers as study participants from five primary schools located in five different states in Malaysia. The research methods used include interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study findings were analyzed thematically using Nvivo14 software. The results of the study identified seven forms of authentic assessment activities implemented by Malay language teachers: role-playing, storytelling, stimulus materials, questioning, edutainment, presentations, and language games. Interview interpretations are supported by observation and document analysis results, which prove that teachers conduct various forms of authentic assessment activities as the best alternative assessments for evaluating primary school students’ Malay language oral skills. Authentic assessment focuses on engaging and realistic activities to facilitate teachers in directly observing students' language development and skills.

Abstract

This systematic literature review (SLR) examines the developing pedagogical methods in language instruction, emphasizing modern practices, technological advancements, and cultural diversity. The research seeks to fill significant gaps in the literature by examining effective pedagogical strategies that improve language acquisition results. In accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology, a systematic search of the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases was performed, focusing on publications published from 2022 to 2024. 30 primary studies were examined through topic synthesis and integrative analysis. The findings are categorized into three themes: i) contextualized and adaptive teaching methods in language education: balancing traditional approach and innovation; ii) impact of innovative teaching on language learning: technology and student engagement; and iii) cultural diversity’s impact on language education and engagement. The results underscore the imperative of modifying teaching strategies according to different situations and incorporating technology to enhance engagement and results. Furthermore, culturally sensitive techniques were demonstrated to improve inclusivity in multilingual classrooms. These insights are pertinent to academic and professional settings, indicating widespread significance for enhancing communication and cross-cultural skills. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of these initiatives and ensure equal access to educational resources and teacher training.

Abstract

Essay writing is crucial for students as it fosters effective communication and improves critical and analytical thinking. This study investigates the impact of scaffolding techniques on Malay language essay writing proficiency among year 5 students in Malaysia. Based on Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory, scaffolding offers structured support that gradually disappears as students gain proficiency. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing an experimental group using scaffolding methods with a control group following traditional teaching. Results revealed that scaffolding significantly improved students’ essay length, coherence, and overall content quality. The experimental group demonstrated higher scores and greater independence in writing. These findings support the integration of scaffolding in essay instruction to enhance student performance and autonomy in writing. Further research should explore its applicability across diverse age groups and contexts.
