Abstract

Email serves as a communication channel for students in higher educational institutions to interact with teachers on course materials, assignments, and impending tests and seek guidance on personal or academic concerns. The present research examines student-instructor email communication, explicitly identifying the problematic elements in students' emails that hinder effective communication. The study examines a sample of 50 email communications composed and sent by first-year students to their instructors at Bright Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) in Kurdistan. Textual analysis is a valuable method for investigating research inquiries across several disciplines. The study findings demonstrated that informal aspects of student email exchanges include the usage of slang, overuse of capitalization, unconventional spelling, symbols, and emoticons. Lack of adherence to email etiquette norms and grammatical errors. These elements indicate a need for more understanding of formality, professionalism, and the decorum expected in a university atmosphere. Thus, it is advisable to implement pedagogical intervention to develop the necessary abilities for composing and comprehending emails. Providing education and assistance on the protocols and norms of email communication may enhance students' capacity to effectively and professionally interact via email in (BTVI), hence fostering good practices and increasing future employment prospects.

Abstract

The primary responsibilities of teachers in the classroom are to enhance the motivation, experience, and technological proficiency of the teaching process and to teach learners in the modern era. Different variables, particularly EFL teachers' personal instructional experiences, often shape educators' opinions about effective teaching approaches, such as creativity or quality, and they contribute a range of skills to the learning environment. The objective of this study is to fully understand the procedures instructors take to remain current and the essential elements they require to maintain their creativity. The qualitative method was used, and 18 EFL instructors were interviewed to accurately collect the data and explore the elements that impact their creativity and their reasons for teaching creatively. The results identified three aspects that impacted instructors' creativity: their expertise and teaching background, their drive, and the impact of technology. The findings demonstrated that the three fundamentals guided instructors in incorporating creativity into their teaching methods. Additionally, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors believed that their creativity was crucial in enhancing students' learning, promoting a pleasurable educational experience, and encouraging a sense of innovation among learners.

Abstract

improving learning outcomes. Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) offers potential to enhance English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, particularly in developing nations like India. Nonetheless, ESL learners often face challenges related to motivation, infrastructure, and pedagogical integration despite the growing technological accessibility. This study explores CALL effectiveness in Indian tertiary-level ESL classrooms, focusing on its impact on student engagement and language proficiency. A quantitative research was designed and the data was collected from 80 students in English departments through a structured questionnaire. The study assessed students’ perceptions of CALL. The authors analyzed benefits and challenges of CALL using descriptive statistics. The obtained data indicated students as generally benefitting from CALL. The participants mentioned increased motivation, language skills, and access to diverse learning materials. However, we found that the optimum CALL implementation was hindered by several barriers. Key barriers were unreliable internet access, technical difficulties, limited teacher training, and insufficient resources. The present study highlights the need for targeted interventions, including infrastructure development, teacher training programs, and institutional support, to maximize CALL’s potential. Removing these barriers can foster more effective and engaging language learning experiences rendering CALL as a transformative tool in ESL education. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on digital learning in ESL education and provide actionable recommendations for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance language instruction through technology.
