Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the impact of role-play techniques on speaking anxiety and speaking ability among Iraqi EFL learners. Method: Using a mixed-methods design, 60 undergraduates were divided into experimental (role-play) and control (traditional instruction) groups. Results: Quantitative results significantly reduced speaking anxiety (mean change = -8.31, p < 0.001). They improved speaking scores (mean change = 5.17, p < 0.001) for the experimental group, while qualitative data highlighted enhanced confidence and fluency. Challenges included peer pressure and feedback needs. Novelty: The findings are supporting role-play as an effective pedagogical tool. Recommendations include structured feedback and diversified scenarios to maximize benefits.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among Iraqi EFL teachers working with students with special needs. Method: Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a Job Satisfaction Scale, data were collected from 41 teachers in public schools, private schools, and private institutions. Results: The results reveal a strong negative correlation between emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction, a moderate negative correlation between depersonalization and job satisfaction, and a strong positive correlation between personal accomplishment and job satisfaction. Novelty: The findings suggest that improving teachers' sense of competence and achievement can enhance job satisfaction and reduce burnout. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to support the well-being of special education teachers in Iraq.
