Abstract

This paper examines how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) affects students' engagement in English when taught in a virtual learning environment. The case study was classroom-based and used data collected through interviews with twenty-five participants engaged in a virtual PjBL enactment. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while member checking was also used to ensure the data’s trustworthiness. The study found that the PjBL enactment had improved students’ learning engagement in three ways. First, the cognitive impact was seen in the participants’ experiences of a culture of self-directed learning where they were involved in the inquiry process through scaffolding activities. Second, their behavioral engagement was seen in their active involvement in project presentations and their shift in attitude towards the use of technology in virtual PjBL. Finally, their emotional engagement was reflected in the increased personal self-esteem and the change in the lecturer-student interaction. This research suggests that PjBL should be used more extensively in virtual classrooms because it positively impacts the students’ learning engagement and boosts their motivation to learn English.

Abstract

This study aims to explore Thai international students’ attitudes towards teaching approaches maximizing their second language (L2) learning motivation and engagement and the motivating and demotivating factors influencing their L2 learning experiences during the transition from EFL to EMI contexts. The participants, selected by the purposive sampling method, were five senior Business English major undergraduates in southern Thailand who were enrolled as international students in a Chinese multilingual university for two semesters. Semi-structured interviews were employed, and qualitative data was inductively analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that all participants felt motivated and engaged to take the English for International Business and Trade course within the field of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the EMI Business Program. They tended to sustain their intended effort to complete communicative-based tasks and term projects related to their future professional goals, acquire specialized business knowledge, and develop digital literacy skills. Despite experiencing fluctuating motivation and transitional challenges, they reported their native-speaker teacher helped them reduce their constraints regarding English language use by editing their writing tasks and presentation scripts. Furthermore, they developed their English language proficiency, L2 self-confidence, and intercultural competence. These findings illuminate several factors influencing the student sojourners’ L2 learning motivation and engagement in EMI settings. The study sheds light on the pedagogical implications of implementing practical courses and developing the instructional quality of the curriculum in internationalized higher education institutions.

Abstract

Teachers are accustomed to traditional teaching, in which chalk-and-talk becomes the prominent approach in language teaching. Hence, planning a creative learning environment can be demanding as it comes with challenging tasks. However, the traditional way of teaching and learning can be inadequate for learners to retrieve knowledge in the 21st century classroom, as they prefer game-like activities rather than pen-and-paper lessons. Therefore, learners’ experience of using gamification in the classroom is significant as it sparks curiosity and immediate enthusiasm, which reflect the learners’ willingness to learn. Importantly, gamification prepares learners to be active and take responsibility for their learning. Fun games instilled during the lessons are believed to be more effective in producing positive outcomes due to learners feeling motivated to play more. However, learners would not realize that they are learning. This was followed by a selection of 108 respondents using gamification and a series of class activities in language learning at a local primary school in Kuala Selangor district, Selangor. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey method which involved administering questionnaires to the Language Camp participants at their respective schools. Data was collected, analyzed accordingly, and presented in the form of tables. The results showed that the integration of gamification in language learning aids learners to improve their creative, critical, and problem-solving skills. Likewise, interesting and engaging activities subconsciously spark the learners’ interest in language learning.

Abstract

The transition from pre-service training to real-world classrooms can be daunting for novice English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. A qualitative multiple-case study approach was employed to determine the impact of peer mentoring on ESL teachers’ professional development through mutual classroom observations. Specifically, peer mentors’ guidance on novice ESL teachers in developing effective instructions was appraised by applying Lortie’s (1975) apprenticeship of observation. The data were collected through interviews with three novice ESL teachers from public primary schools who participated in peer mentoring partnerships, classroom observations, and participants’ personal journal entries. Thematic analysis was performed, which demonstrated that peer mentoring facilitated a) enhanced instructional practices, b) a shift in the novices’ mindset and c) a collaborative interaction in the professional learning community. The findings posited that peer mentoring provided an alternative observational learning approach for novice ESL teachers in terms of effective instructional strategies from colleagues while obtaining specific feedback on professional development. Resultantly, a nuanced comprehension of the approach employed by novice ESL teachers to enhance instructional expertise via peer support was provided. Practical implications were contributed to existing ESL training programs, novice ESL teachers, and educational institutions.

Abstract

Language discord is one of problems experienced by Indonesian EFL learners when producing English utterances, and those problems can affect their language attitude towards English. The objectives of this research are to find (1) forms of language discord experienced by EFL learners when producing English utterances, (2) factors causing the language discord, and (3) language attitudes towards English as the effect of the language discord. Employing a qualitative approach, this case study was conducted at a university in South Sulawesi, and purposive sampling technique was used to obtain research participants. Based on certain criteria regarding the samples that were most suitable and considered to produce the desired data, four students from the English education department were selected as research participants. Data collection involved observations and in-depth interviews. The technique of data analysis involved a procedure consisting of data managing, reading and giving a memo, describing, classifying, data interpretation, visualizing, and representing. Findings showed three forms of language discord: naked language discord, disguised language discord, and uncontrolled language discord. From the interview results, three factors that caused language discord were found: high excitement, unpreparedness, and deference. As the effect of the language discord, the EFL learners stated they were more enthusiastic to become proficient English speakers, and they felt trained to memorize English vocabularies.

Abstract

The study used a quantitative descriptive research method to investigate the use of lexical features of PE in news articles of student publication. A content analysis of 31 news articles identified 38 instances of Philippine English, categorized into coinages (24), preservation of items infrequent or lost in other varieties (5), normal expansions (5), and borrowings (4). Questionnaires were administered to 21 English teachers to assess the acceptability of these terms. The majority of the Philippine English lexical features found in the student publication were widely accepted by the English teachers. The results showed that terms such as “Fab Lab” and “U-Days” were widely accepted (100%), while others such as “blastful” and “sophomostrial” met with high rejection rates (90.5% and 100%, respectively). The study recommends inclusive language teaching practices that reflect the linguistic diversity of the Philippines. This study not only contributes to the understanding of PE but also provides practical implications for language teaching and curriculum development.

Abstract

Nepal’s school education has public and private systems. Private schools are de facto English medium schools, while public schools have Nepali as a medium of instruction. However, some public schools have adopted English medium instruction, and this trend continues. In recent years, there has been a tendency for students studying in private schools to transfer to English medium public schools. In this scenario, this study explores the perspectives of the students shifting from private to English medium public schools in Nepal. This study, grounded in neoliberal ideology, adopted a phenomenological qualitative research design. Three students were purposively selected. The data were collected through unstructured interviews. The interviews were analyzed using a thematic approach. The results showed that the shift of students to English medium public schools for government-recognized certificates significantly reduced the financial burden on parents. The students found that learning in public schools with diverse learning environments was more meaningful. Both private and English-medium public schools used a dual medium of instruction (English-Nepali), with more English used in private schools. The study suggests that English-medium education in public schools in Nepal has attracted students away from English-medium private schools.

Abstract

The cultural turn in translation studies has propelled translation beyond a mere act of linguistic transposition. At this juncture, the cultural dimension has garnered significant attention, and translation has evolved into an act of cultural mediation. Within this framework, learners’ perceptions of the cultural dimension and classroom teaching practices are pivotal factors influencing translation quality. This study examines the classroom teaching practices vis-à-vis cultural learning and investigates learners’ perception of the significance of culture in translation. A survey questionnaire was administered to seventy-eight Master’s students of translation (Arabic-English-French) at the Institute of Translation, Oran University, Algeria. Additionally, an interview was conducted with 26 students from the same institute to accredit more validity and reliability to this study, to obtain more qualitative data, and to compare and crosscheck while interpreting the data from both the questionnaire and the interview. The analysis of the obtained data elucidated that cultural knowledge was impeached by classroom practices that do not foster intercultural learning despite learners’ positive attitudes towards the target cultures. This study offers some pedagogical recommendations to give the cultural dimension due attention in the translation classroom.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings is rapidly evolving, presenting both opportunities and challenges for pre-service English teachers. This case study explored three Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ experiences in using AI technologies and the implications for their pedagogical practices during teaching practicum. Several AI tools, namely ChatGPT, Copilot, Twee, and Quizizz AI, were used to help the pre-service teachers in planning, creating learning content, and assessing students. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews, reflective reports, and artifacts from the three Indonesian pre-service teachers majoring in English language education joining a teaching practicum program in a local school for 6 weeks. The qualitative data analysis revealed that the Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers saw three essential benefits of AI-assisted teaching practicum: (1) AI assists them with brainstorming and ideation process, (2) AI makes teaching preparation more time efficient, and (3) AI assists them in crafting tailor-made English materials for students. Meanwhile, they also addressed some challenges in the process, namely (1) overreliance, (2) ethical violation, and (3) fabricated and misleading contents.

Abstract

Within the framework of sociocultural theories, this study investigated how affordances in various beyond the classroom settings supported the development of agency and English proficiency among advanced EFL learners. The participants were 10 Taiwanese college students, each with at least B2 proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Data were gathered through a qualitative approach encompassing semi-structured interviews, writing samples, and a 23-item questionnaire. A grounded theory approach was adopted to analyze and interpret the data. The findings revealed that contextual affordances were not always immediately accessible or apparent to learners and exhibited considerable variability across different locations, which could impede or facilitate the learners’ development of agency and English proficiency. The mediator played an indispensable role in guiding learners toward effectively utilizing these resources. Furthermore, the development of learners' English proficiency in beyond-the-classroom settings was intricately intertwined with that of their agency, both of which were deeply rooted in and shaped by sociocultural contexts. As learners enhanced their English proficiency through the mediator’s strategic engagement with contextual affordances, their agency concurrently flourished, prompting them to proactively seek additional affordances and explore further opportunities for autonomous decision-making and action.
