Abstract

This article reports on the findings of what we consider to be the first study of its sort on the use of ICT (information and communication technology) in English, Russian, and Kazakh language teachers in a single university in Kazakhstan. Participants include 111 (English, Russian, Kazakh) instructors from three departments. The study’s goal was to look at these language teachers’ ICT use and the elements that influence their use of ICT as a teaching tool. The following study issues were addressed using questionnaires and follow-up semi-structured interviews: What is the present state of information and communication technology (ICT) use among a group of language teachers in a single university in Kazakhstan? What ICT skills do language teachers have, and what training is available? What are factors that encourage/discourage the use of ICT in their teaching and learning? Findings support the idea that most teachers have owned their own computers to be used in the class and most teachers in the study had adequate skills. However, computer use is mainly limited to PowerPoint presentations but there are patterns of creative ICT use. Positive factors affecting ICT use include willingness to ICT use in teaching and the benefits to both teachers and learners, while negative factors include inadequate professional support, poor training, and the need for a more holistic approach to ICT integration. The conclusions are that ICT is acknowledged as essential and advantageous to language learners as well as teachers from a teaching perspective and that teachers require additional training: to provide training opportunities at the institutional level to support their ICT use and to help language teachers better understand the pedagogy of technology use and incorporate ICT into their instruction. The authors propose that this type of support might be offered through professional development activities that are tailored to the context of language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Background: In the context of 21st-century learning, effective engagement of students and accommodation of many learning styles depend on brain-based learning (BBL). This approach improves understanding, memory, and adaptability by matching instruction with cognitive science and educational needs. Therefore, BBL emphasizes matching teaching approaches to how the brain processes and remembers information, which improves language acquisition, as teaching English entails employing tactics that address cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and motivation. Methodology: This quantitative study involved 50 English teachers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, aim to reveal the teachers’ needs to teach English using BBL in this 21st-century era. The instrument of data collection was a questionnaire designed using the 5-Likert Scale that was interpreted using mean scores for each statement.Findings: The finding of this study revealed teachers need BBL in applying teaching scenarios, as well as the BBL represents Project-Based learning supported by audiovisual and critical thinking integration during the learning process. All those components are fitted with the characteristics of the balance of the right and left-brain sides.Conclusion: It is deemed essential since it directly affects the instructors' ability to effectively nurture student engagement and achievement, and the teachers should be consulted regarding the need for BBL. Incorporating educators into this conversation also guarantees that the tactics used are realistic and adapted to actual classroom situations. The knowledge and expertise of educators are crucial for improving brain-based learning strategies.Originality: This study can be a pioneer in exploring more opportunities for the needs of BBL and its relationship with learning success. Moreover, knowing brain balance contributes to a more inclusive and effective learning environment by accommodating different learning styles and boosting overall student well-being and academic achievement.
