Abstract

Speaking is widely recognized as one of the most challenging skills for EFL students to acquire, due to its demand for real-time language processing, confidence, and adequate linguistic resources. This mixed-method study investigates students’ perceived difficulties in speaking English, combining questionnaire data from 91 participants and semi-structured teacher interviews as the instruments. Quantitative findings reveal that learners experienced significant affective barriers, including low self-confidence, fear of making mistakes, and nervousness when speaking in front of others. Linguistic limitations, particularly restricted vocabulary and pronunciation challenges, were also found to disrupt fluency and promote reliance on first-language translation. Furthermore, insufficient opportunities to practice speaking and limited support outside the classroom emerged as additional constraints. The qualitative data reinforced these issues, pointing to motivational gaps and institutional limitations. The findings provide valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of speaking difficulties and suggest actionable pedagogical responses. Drawing on theories of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and sociocultural learning, the study emphasizes the need for learner-centered instruction that fosters emotional security, meaningful interaction, and increased speaking opportunities. These include the integration of digital tools to reduce anxiety, implementation of peer interaction activities, pronunciation-focused tasks, increased speaking time in lessons, and more structured teacher feedback practices. The study also points to the potential of longitudinal research to track the development of speaking proficiency over time. Keywords: EFL learners, speaking anxiety, linguistic challenges, classroom interaction, language learning

Abstract

English teaching has changed from traditional methods such as memorization to communicative approaches such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), where many teachers are now adapting technology to CLT. Over the past decade, numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the application of technology in CLT; however, comprehensive research on this topic remains scarce, particularly when considering the scope of the timeframe. To address this gap, the current study systematically reviews the academic literature published on the application of technology in CLT in articles from 2010 to 2025. This study aims to investigate research trends over the past 15 years and identify key findings from the reviewed studies after applying inclusive and exclusive criteria. A total of 40 articles published and indexed in Scopus were included, and this study follows the PRISMA guidelines and thematic content analysis. The authors identified research trends and discussed key findings. In terms of research trends on this topic, the highest number of articles was published in 2024 (n=5). Then, the country contributing the most to this topic was the United Kingdom (n=6). We also found challenges in the implementation of CLT and discussions on the learning media used and the pedagogical approaches employed for teaching English. Based on this review, it is hoped that it will serve as a reference for future research.

Abstract

It can be denied that teaching vocabulary to ESP students is challenging since they need treatment to learn it on the right target. 21st-century learning requires the students, no exception the ESP students, to fulfill the demands of the 4Cs (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking), which makes students show language competence in the right target. This quantitative study with a one-shot case study aims to explore the knowledge level regarding vocabulary learning using Flash Cards and reveal the students' activities during learning using Flash Cards. Thirty-one participants from one vocational high school were involved in this study. The researchers used two types of instruments, namely, test and observation. The results of this study showed that students’ scores in vocabulary testing indicating their knowledge of language word level were categorized ‘good’ by the mean score of 73.97. Additionally, they showed enthusiasm in learning vocabulary using Flash Card. The role of Flash Cards in teaching vocabulary in ESP classrooms benefits students in grasping the meaning of L2 words that can be used or applied in the language context. Keywords: Teaching Vocabulary; ESP; Flash Card.

Abstract

In EFL writing classrooms, students learning L2 need correction or feedback for their writing. However, the teachers' limitation in time management becomes one of the reasons students can not gain detailed feedback. In line with that, the growth of the digital platform in the 21st-century learning era brings a thought that corrective feedback for L2 writing can be accessed and gained through automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) to ease students' learning and improve their writing ability. This quantitative study aimed at revealing students' need for automated written corrective feedback. The participants of this study were 532 students from the Philippines and Indonesia. The questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed using the SPSS version 25 to know the percentage and descriptive statistics. The study's findings revealed that students from two states need technology tools to provide written corrective feedback to improve their writing proficiency in the L2 context while solving their problems of vocabulary and grammar limitations. Furthermore, the feedback can grow their confidence to provide L2 writing. The findings of the student's needs can be used as the basis for creating ideal writing scenarios.

Abstract

When introduced into English as a Second Language (ESL) reading classrooms, it has the potential to assist students in becoming more immersed in the language. The complex melodies and emotionally charged compositions characteristic of classical music have the potential to produce an atmosphere better suited to the comprehension of language in ESL reading classrooms. This mixed-method study that involved 33 students from one university in Indonesia was aimed to (1) investigate the significant difference between the mean scores of the pretest and the posttest in ESL reading using classical music and (2) describe the students' reflections on using classical music in the reading classroom. This study used pretest-posttest and students' reflection sheets as data collection instruments. The pretest and posttest results indicated that classical music significantly improved students' reading skills in ESL classrooms. The written reflections showed students were highly motivated to join the reading activity, as classical music was beneficial for enhancing students' mood and concentration, affecting their comprehension, vocabulary collection, and cognitive skills.Keywords: learning experiences, classical music, ESL reading, psycholinguistics

Abstract

This research investigates the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching English in Pakistan's private primary schools. The study focuses on AI technologies such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Duolingo, examining their benefits and challenges in primary education. International studies have shown that AI aids in writing, feedback, and personalised learning; however, the impact of these tools in Pakistan’s primary schools remains underexplored. This gap is addressed by synthesising findings from global literature and examining how international trends are influencing local educational practices. The research method involves a systematic literature review of 57 articles from databases such as Scopus and ERIC. Using qualitative synthesis and theme classification according to PRISMA guidelines, the study identifies both positive outcomes, including enhanced engagement and improved language performance, and challenges, such as digital inequality, teachers' lack of preparedness, and an over-reliance on automation. The findings underscore the need for tailored ethical guidelines and ongoing professional development for teachers to ensure the effective and equitable integration of AI in primary school education.
