Abstract

This research focuses on investigating the awareness and perception of self-regulation strategies in academic writing among undergraduate students. Specifically, it aims to explore the level of undergraduates' awareness in various aspects of self-regulation, such as goal setting, adopting powerful strategies, self-monitoring, restructuring social and physical context, time management, self-evaluation, attributing causation to results, and adapting future methods. The study adopts a cross-sectional survey research design and includes a sample of eighty-seven (87) third-year undergraduates majoring in English in Nigeria. To collect data, a questionnaire was employed as the primary research instrument. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS software to address the research questions of the study. The findings indicate the respondents’ moderate level of awareness regarding self-regulation strategies in ESL academic writing. This moderate level of awareness cuts across all aspects of self-regulation analyzed in this study. Based on the study's findings, several recommendations are proposed for both practical implementation and future research. These recommendations aim to enhance undergraduates' awareness of self-regulation strategies in ESL academic writing and improve their overall writing skills. Further studies are also suggested to delve deeper into the effectiveness and impact of various self-regulation strategies on undergraduate students' academic writing performance.

Abstract

This study is part of a larger study that investigated the impact of Flipgrid on Nigerian undergraduates' speaking skills and speaking anxiety. Thus, this paper examined the undergraduates’ perceptions regarding the integration of Flipgrid into their speaking classroom. The study employed a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to gather data from 25 third-year participants. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to analyse the data. The findings of the analysis revealed positive perceptions of the use Flipgrid platform. Participants explained that the platform can foster engagement, increase confidence, and enhance speaking practice outside the classroom. The findings further showed that the platform increased the participants’ motivation, and collaborative learning skills, and reduced their speaking anxiety. Finally, the study makes some recommendations for practice and further studies. It is, therefore, recommended that Flipgrid be incorporated into speaking classrooms given its potential benefits in enhancing students’ engagement as well as communication skills development. It is also recommended that larger-scale research involving longer treatment durations could be carried out to validate and extend the findings of the present study.
