Abstract

This study employs qualitative research methods, particularly narrative inquiry, to explore the challenges preschool teachers face in teaching English to young learners. Through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, a purposively selected and diverse group of four early childhood educators, each with varying English language proficiency and educational backgrounds, provided insights into their experiences. This research primarily investigates the strategies these teachers implement to effectively manage interdisciplinary teaching activities and to enhance student engagement with English language materials. Additionally, it examines into the enduring impacts of these instructional strategies on preschool students, as reported by the teachers. The findings are organized into three key themes: the specific challenges faced in English language instruction, the strategies developed to address these challenges, and the short- to medium-term effects observed by the teachers. These outcomes offer significant implications for educators and policymakers in the realm of early childhood education. They contribute to a deeper understanding of effective teaching practices and inform the development of curricula and pedagogical approaches that can better support English language acquisition among preschoolers.

Abstract

This study investigates the digital proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers concerning language assessment development. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, it explores the subjective experiences and perceptions of EFL teachers engaged in constructing language tests within educational contexts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three participants, each representing diverse backgrounds in English Language Teaching (ELT). Moreover, thematic analysis was utilized to interpret the collected data systematically. The findings reveal specific challenges encountered by teachers in implementing interactive language assessments, including the identification of appropriate instructional materials, selection of suitable assessment models, and integration of digital tools into teaching methodologies. Moreover, participants suggest that technology can positively impact student engagement, motivation, and collaboration during assessments. By recognizing the continuous nature of language learning and assessment, educators can better tailor their approaches to meet the evolving needs of language learners. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on language assessment practices, highlighting the importance of incorporating digital resources and fostering a supportive learning environment for students.
