Abstract

Classroom interactions are believed to play important role in determining the success of teaching and learning process. This study aims to find the types of classroom interaction pattern applied by a Thai English teacher in an EYL classroom, show the dominant pattern applied, and reveal the impacts of applying the classroom interaction patterns applied to the EYL teaching and learning. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. The data were gained through classroom observation and semi-structured interview involving a Thai English teacher and 42 students in class 5/2 elementary school at Suansanti school, Bangkok. This study used video recording, as the data collecting technique and analyzed by adapted Miles’ et al. (2014) procedures. The results indicate that there were five classroom interaction patterns applied by the Thai English teacher. Three dominant patterns applied were choral responses (36.52%), teacher talk (27.54%), and close-ended teacher questioning (26.96%).  The patterns applied lead to the positive impacts including build a sense of comfort and belonging, promote students’ motivation, and enhance social development. However, the overuse of the pattern limits students’ individual expression and peer-to-peer interaction, leading to negative impact such as passive participation.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore student’s voices about using podcasts for their Speaking class project. The participants of this study were 18 students from the fifth semester of the English Education Department at a private university in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique applied is purposive sampling which is based on the specific purposes of this research. The study was conducted through a descriptive qualitative method. The data was collected through open-ended questionnaires to capture the students’ voices on the use of podcasts as a media to fulfill their final project in Speaking class. The results of this study showed that podcasts were effective to use as a media in Speaking class, especially to improve their speaking skills. However, students encountered various challenges, including such as difficulties with editing, fear of making mistakes, limited vocabulary, and pre-production tasks such as topic selection and content arrangement. Despite these challenges, integrating podcasts into Speaking class fostered a positive attitude toward technology adoption, boosted confidence, and enriched students' learning experience.

Abstract

Although fossilization is a well-studied aspect of interlanguage among learners and teachers, consonant fossilization in the context of EFL teachers’ classroom practices remains under-explored. Since, Existing literature has primarily focused on EFL students, while EFL teachers are often assumed to possess near-native pronunciation. Within in SLA, consonant fossilization is significant because the stabilization of non-target phonological patterns can shape learners’ interlanguage development. Moreover, in EFL contexts, where the EFL teachers serve as primary pronunciation models, fossilized consonant errors may affect comprehensibility and the quality of classroom input. This study drew on interlanguage theory, fossilization theory, and causal factors of fossilization theory, which provided a conceptual framework for analyzing the types of consonants fossilization and the causal factor. This qualitative case study aims to examine the types of consonant fossilization and the factors that cause these errors to persist. The collected data through classroom observation along with video recording and in-depth interview were analyzed using an interactive model by Miles et al., (2014) which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing & verification. The findings reveal that there are nine fossilized English consonants, namely /z/, /v/, /θ/, /ʒ/, /t/, /p/, /g/, /d/ and /b/. Environmental, cognitive, socio-cognitive, and habitual or automatized factors have contributed to the fossilization among EFL teachers. It suggests that by increasing their awareness of English pronunciation, particularly of fossilized consonant sounds, teachers improve their teaching effectiveness. It implies the importance of strengthening pronunciation competence through targeted training and ongoing professional development in EFL contexts.
