Abstract

The willingness to communicate (WTC) of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) students requires a complicated process, including motivational, contextual, metacognitive, and communicative factors. Neglecting the intricate interplay of these factors may impede the attainment of desired levels of student WTC, thus underscoring the need for comprehensive investigation. The purpose of this exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is to investigate the complex interplay of motivational, contextual, metacognitive, and communicative factors as predictors of situated WTC in the Indonesian EFL context, which includes variables such as motivation, learner agency, growth language mindset, classroom environment, metacognition, communication confidence, and L2 self-perceived communicative competence (SPCC). We used Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) model analysis in a quantitative study design. An online questionnaire with 50 items adapted from prior studies was distributed to 310 EFL students from multiple universities in Indonesia who had taken English classes. The data revealed that motivation, learner agency, growth language mindset, classroom environment, metacognition, communication confidence, and SPCC are major determinants of students WTC. These findings suggest that EFL educators can create language learning programs that encourage active involvement in communication tasks and enhance students WTC by recognizing and utilizing the factors that support it. This could lead to more effective and engaging language learning experiences, resulting in increased WTC in the target language. Further discussion focuses on educational consequences and future research recommendations.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of a national virtual professional development (VPD) programme in Indonesia, lasting over four months and involving a diverse cohort of teachers. Utilising a sequential explanatory mixed method design within an interpretivist paradigm, it aimed to assess the programmes effectiveness in enhancing in-service EFL teachers pedagogical skills. The participants of this study were 76 in-service EFL teachers attending the Teacher Profession Education Programme (TPEP) over four months at a reputable private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study combined quantitative analyses of surveys and test scoresusing descriptive statistics to examine perceptions of the programmes usefulness, content, design, and learning outcomes, and bivariate correlation to assess the relationships with test scoreswith qualitative insights from the written interviews, which were analysed through deductive thematic analysis. Quantitative findings showed a high perceived efficacy of the TPEP (M = 3.96, SD = .55), with high ratings for perceived usefulness (M = 4.00, SD = .69), course content and design (M = 3.98, SD = .72), and learning outcomes (M = 3.91, SD = .55). However, no significant correlations were found between perceived efficacy and test scores (r = .06, p = .60) despite the strong correlations found among the perception variables themselves (e.g., usefulness and design: r = .88, p .001). Qualitative findings echoed these results, highlighting the programmes flexibility, improved pedagogical knowledge, and confidence, alongside issues like inconsistent guidance and technological challenges.

Abstract

A plethora of studies has examined EFL learners attitudes towards and perceptions of English pronunciation, yet little has been discussed about the influence of religious backgrounds on ones pronunciation abilities, especially in the Thai context. This study aims to extend the research area by studying Buddhist and Muslim EFL learners attitudes and perspectives about their English pronunciation abilities in Thailand. Using a mixed-method design, it collected survey data from 60 undergraduate students (50% Buddhist, 50% Muslim) at a university in south Thailand. An English pronunciation test was conducted to gather data on the students English pronunciation performances. The quantitative findings revealed that Buddhist and Muslim Thai EFL learners possessed moderate levels of attitudes towards their English pronunciation and perceived indirect influences of their religion on their English pronunciation. Although the learners attitudes and perceptions were connected, they were not significant predictors of their actual English pronunciation. Religion and gender had no direct impact on the learners attitudes; however, their frequent religious practices have led to the awareness that students from some religious backgrounds can have an advantage in pronouncing some English sounds, letters, or words over their friends with a different religion. The results of this research also suggest that there is much more to be learned about the effects and contributions of religious backgrounds on learners English pronunciation among learners.
