Abstract

General Background: The influence of teaching methods in science education is critical for student achievement, particularly in multilingual contexts. Specific Background: This study focuses on the Al-Mutamaizeen and Al-Mutafawqeen secondary schools in Iraq, where students study scientific subjects in English and Arabic, respectively. Knowledge Gap: Limited research exists on how language of instruction in scientific subjects impacts English language proficiency and overall academic achievement among high-achieving students. Aims: The research aimed to identify the effect of teaching scientific subjects in English on the academic achievement of students in the English language, comparing students from Al-Mutamaizeen (studying in English) with those from Al-Mutafawqeen (studying in Arabic). Results: The study employed an experimental design and included a sample of 76 students from Najaf High School for the Distinguished and 80 students from Kufa High School for the Gifted. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in favor of the students who studied science subjects in English, attributing their success to the continuous use of English during scientific instruction. Novelty: This study provides novel insights into the direct relationship between language of instruction in science and English language proficiency, showing how integrating English into scientific subjects enhances overall academic performance. Implications: The findings suggest that teaching scientific subjects in English could be generalized to similar student groups to improve both English proficiency and academic achievement in science, particularly in multilingual settings. Highlughts: Language instruction influences student achievement in multilingual science education. English use in science improves language skills and academic performance. Teaching science in English benefits high-achieving students' overall achievement. Keywords: Teaching methods, English instruction, science education, academic achievement, multilingual schools.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore the attitudes of Iraqi high school students toward peer feedback in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Method: Using a quantitative research design, this study surveyed 59 male high school students in Najaf City, Iraq, to understand their perceptions of peer feedback. Results: The results indicate that students generally have positive attitudes toward peer feedback, finding it beneficial for improving their writing skills and motivating them to learn. However, students also expressed concerns about their ability to provide accurate feedback due to a lack of confidence in their grammatical knowledge. These findings suggest that while peer feedback is a useful tool in EFL classrooms, students may require additional training and support to fully benefit from it. Novelty: The study contributes to the broader discourse on feedback in education by highlighting the importance of cultural and contextual factors in implementing peer feedback practices.
