Abstract

Teaching vocabulary to young learners is an essential aspect of language acquisition that requires a specific approach or strategy to ensure that learners acquire a wide range of vocabulary. Expanding vocabulary is a critical aspect of language learning as it equips learners with the learning tools to confidently articulate their thoughts and ideas in the target language. Developing vocabulary also enables learners to grasp complex concepts and ideas. One technique that has proven effective in language classes is the presentation-practice route. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to describe the teaching techniques employed by English teachers at Genius International School in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, when using the presentation-practice route to teach English vocabulary. The study adopted a descriptive research methodology, with data collection conducted through interviews and observations of English teachers at the school. Qualitative analysis was used to analyze the data collected from the respondents. The study's findings revealed that the teachers employed several techniques to encourage learners' mastery of vocabulary, including contextualization, the use of visual aids, and the incorporation of interactive activities. These techniques were found to be effective in facilitating learners' comprehension and retention of English vocabulary.

Abstract

This article explores the integration of Design Thinking into English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms as a means to empower students. Design Thinking, a dynamic problem-solving framework, offers a student-centred approach to education that places learners at the forefront. This article further investigates the ideation phase, where creativity in language use is encouraged through technology integration and interactive activities. These practices align with 21st-century skill development, promoting creativity, critical thinking, and effective communication. Prototyping, another crucial Design Thinking stage, finds application in project-based learning activities that tangibly reinforce language skills while offering real-world context. The author explores the theories of testing phase that empowers students to apply language competence beyond the classroom, emphasizes the practical value of language acquisition. By examining the confluence of Design Thinking principles with ELT, this article discusses the potential to prepare students as not only proficient communicators but also as adaptable thinkers ready to navigate our interconnected world. Design Thinking, therefore, emerges as a powerful tool for transforming ELT classrooms into hubs of innovation and student empowerment.

Abstract

In an exemplary test implementation, the items used should be fair and free from bias. This biased content threatens the validity that will affect the interpretation of the test results. This study aims to analyze the biased content of items and tests on the test device for the Commercial English Course, with the code ADBI4201, a course in the Business Administration Study Program at the Faculty of Law, Social, and Political Sciences, Open University (UT). It uses the quantitative approach. Data were collected through documentation in the form of grids and responses from final semester test participants in January 2024. Data analysis was carried out by (1) estimating item parameters using classical test theory and item response theory for tests, (2) estimating item parameters based on regional groups and based on gender, which are used to identify DIF content, (3) testing the significance of DIF with a maximum likelihood comparison. The study's findings showed 26 items contained DIF by gender and 25 items contained DIF by region. The results of the test bias detection showed that the test slightly favored the female group and the students from the Java region.
