Abstract

Smartphone has long been considered as a double-edged sword which has both positive and negative effects.  Instead of banning the use of smartphones, a smart teacher has to be able to encourage EFL learners to use smartphones wisely to facilitate their learning. Smartphones enable the learners to use the language in a real situation outside the classroom, which is called Extramural English Learning. This kind of situation is believed to contribute to learners vocabularies. Learners’ ability to use various kinds of vocabulary, especially English academic words, will make a positive contribution to their writing. Employing a correlation design, the aim of the research was to investigate the correlation between the use of smartphones as extramural English learning and learners’ vocabularies focusing on English academic words. Questionnaire and writing test were used as instruments to collect the data from 35 undergraduate students of English department in East Java, Indonesia. The results of the data analysis by using Pearson Correlation confirmed the significant positive correlation between the use of smartphones as extramural English learning and learners’ vocabularies that indicated the benefit of extramural activities with smartphones on enriching learners’ vocabulary. Further, the pedagogical implication was also discussed.

Abstract

Teacher talk plays an important role not only in facilitating learning but also in supporting students emotionally and creating a comfortable learning environment. This study aimed to explore the categories of teacher talk commonly used by an English teacher in a secondary school and how these categories contribute to managing students’ feelings during classroom interaction. This study adopted a qualitative method and applies the FLINT (Foreign Language Interaction) system by Brown (2001) as the main theoretical framework to classify teacher talk types and to explain its role in classroom interaction. The data were collected from two English class sessions using video recorder and observation checklists. The results showed that asks questions, praises or encourages, and gives directions were the most frequently used categories of teacher talk. Among them, deals with feelings, and jokes were found to contribute significantly to students’ emotional management. These types of talk helped reduce anxiety, boost students’ confidence, and create a more engaging classroom atmosphere. In summary, teacher talk functions not only as a means of instruction but also as an emotional support tool that contributes to positive classroom interaction. The findings assist English teachers of secondary schools to be more aware of the affective impact of their talk in class. Integrating supportive and encouraging language, even in small amounts, can enhance classroom interaction and students’ emotional well-being.
