Abstract

Although academic reading has gained positive attention in EFL classrooms, very little research has been undertaken regarding the descriptive relationship between such types of reading attitudes and article writing. This study focused on determining the academic reading attitudes of EFL students who were writing an article for an international journal. A total of 173 undergraduate and magister students enrolled in an EFL major voluntarily participated in the survey study. By using the AR attitude scale, the survey was undertaken via an online app (e.g., Google Form). The results reveal that there are three dimensions of students’ AR. Behavior factor seems to be negative for the students who read academic texts. They encountered difficulties in comprehending the texts during the article writing process. They believed in AR benefits for article writing, but most students were not confident in their reading competence. In short, AR has important values in developing article writing quality, but strategies are needed to fulfill the expectation.

Abstract

Teacher support (henceforth TS) in EFL classrooms emerges as psychological empowerment for non-English major students (henceforth NEMS), even though not all EFL teachers are aware of such communicative interaction. Grounded on the rationale, this current study investigated how the EFL teachers contributed to the English skill development of students who did not engage with English majors. A total of 279 students from various majors voluntarily participated in an online survey, ensuring that they selected appropriate perceptions. The findings disclosed that the EFL teachers had both positive and negative contributions towards NEMS English learning experiences. However, such imbalanced supports seemed to be randomly performed by different teachers in different contexts, meaning that similar EFL teachers treated students’ English learning differently when they were influenced by other factors, such as students’ difficulty level or teacher competence. In short, it is believed that TS leads to NEMS positive attitude and understanding towards English skills. A recommendation is highly expected to configure how every EFL teacher determines academic or social support for all NEMS in the current and future EFL classrooms.
