Abstract

Abstract To be more proficient and self-regulated, L2 academic writers, the deployment of motivation regulation strategies should be incorporated at the commencement of academic writing learning enterprises, particularly during this pandemic situation. According to previous studies, the establishment of robust motivation regulation strategies will potentially help L2 academic writers to better manage the ongoing writing learning dynamics and cope with varied upcoming challenges. Specifically, this study was conducted qualitatively by lending support from qualitative content analysis in order to offer more overarching findings derived from actual events experienced by the participants. To comply with this objectivity, two research instruments were also utilized in this study namely the Likert-Scale questionnaire and open-ended interviews. Further, the Likert-Scale questionnaire was administered via Google Forms to be filled out by 36 English education master students from batch 2018 and 2019, and the open-ended interview inquiries were sent through WhatsApp application in order to obtain the responses from the three random selected interviewees. Results from this study revealed that the majority of English education master students had successfully become more competent and resilient academic writers through five major streams of motivation regulation strategies namely interest enhancement, performance self-talk, mastery self-talk, self-consequating, and environmental structuring.      Keywords: Motivation regulation strategies, academic writing, graduate students, Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

This study was an investigation to find out the effect of audiolingual (ALM)-based versus communicative language teaching (CLT)-oriented techniques on Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ listening comprehension ability. To do this, sixty EFL learners in intermediate level from Shokouh Institute in Lahijan, Iran were selected randomly and assigned to two groups; namely the experimental group and control group; 30 participants in each group were selected based on their performance using the oxford placement test (OPT). A quasi-experimental design was used for this study. A listening audio text extracted from the book “Four Corners” was administered as pre-test and post-test. The researchers taught the students of both groups for 10 sessions. The CLT techniques were used as treatment in the experimental group while the control group received no treatment and just used ALM techniques. After 10 sessions, the listening passages extracted from the book “Four Corners” were administered as post-test in order to compare the results of the scores of two groups and decide about the effectiveness of the treatment. Finally, the data were analyzed via running an Independent Samples T-test and a series of Paired Samples T-tests. The results showed that Iranian EFL learners’ listening comprehension skill has been significantly improved as a result of using CLT techniques at the significance level of .05. It was concluded that the use of CLT techniques was highly effective in Iranian learners’ listening comprehension improvement.

Abstract

The primary focus of this study was to examine the effects of flipped classrooms on students’ academic achievement in legal English learning context at Hanoi Law University. To achieve the aim, fifty second-year students participating in the study were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught legal English with the flipped learning approach while traditional teaching method was applied to the control group. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to both groups to measure the impacts of flipped classrooms on students’ academic achievement in legal English. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the means of the achievement test attributed to teaching methods in favour of the experimental groups. Also, survey questionnaires were administered to the students in the experimental group to identify their perceptions of the application of flipped classrooms on their legal English learning performance. The data showed that the majority of the students considered flipped classroom to be effective. It is hoped that the findings encourage instructors of English to use modern teaching strategies, in particular, flipped classroom strategy to improve the English teaching and learning process.

Abstract

One of online materials used more frequently nowadays in Extensive Listening (EL) is podcasts. Similar with other learning materials, podcasts are classified into authentic podcast and language course (non-authentic) podcast. Previous studies have examined learners attitude towards podcasts; yet, they generally regarded all podcasts as authentic material. In EL, learners attitude towards the materials also affects the success of EL. Therefore, this study aimed to examine EFL learners attitude towards authentic podcast and language course podcast in EL. The study was conducted in a qualitative within-subject design and involved six English Department students from a private university in Indonesia. The students took part in an EL program using both authentic and language course podcasts, shared their experience in learning journals, and participated in post-activity interviews. The data collected were analyzed qualitatively using Ajzens (2005) classification of attitude elements. The findings showed that despite the favorable attitude that the learners mostly displayed towards both types of podcasts, there was a significant difference in the cognitive, affective, and conative aspects of their attitude that influenced their overall attitude. The findings implied that both types of podcasts have potentials to be used for EL by EFL learners with some considerations.

Abstract

Critical thinking is very important in the area of education, because it is an essential tool for solving problems and making good decisions. Through applying critical thinking in learning, students can become creative in discovering the best method of learning and organizing their work. Therefore, critical thinking is not an educational choice and all learners should be taught to think critically. The primary objective of this paper is to study whether teaching experience played a role in teachers’ level of use of critical thinking. The quantitative method was used. The respondents of the study were Moroccan English high school teachers. A questionnaire was used to collect data from teachers. Both the online version and the paper-based version of the questionnaire were used to gather data from the participants.  A total of 423 questionnaire were collected from the respondents. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 was used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that teaching experience significantly impacts teachers’ level of use of critical thinking. This suggests that there is a connection between teachers’ effectiveness and years of experience.

Abstract

The superior image of native English teachers portrayed in ELT professionalism has been heavily criticized among scholars by raising awareness on the expertise than nativeness or races. However, the study is scarce regarding how online discourse such as web-based advertisement of English language courses rhetorically depicts their language instructors: a native speaker and local teachers. To fill this gap, the purposes of this study are to examine the attributes of language instructors and any potential discriminatory or privileged presentation evoke in the online ads. The initial analysis was done within twenty English course sites to view overall trends of English instructors' attributes in several websites in Indonesia. I then closely explored two websites, WSE and TBI, and how they textually and visually privilege and discriminate the competences of native English teachers or local teachers. The result shows the dominant rhetoric of native English teachers as English language experts. The findings of this study reveal that despite the scholarly effort to challenge native English speaker/teacher orientation, the educational institutions still perpetuate the hegemony of native speakers as the ideal model in English within online platforms.

Abstract

The present study employed a mixed-method approach to investigate creativity and speaking ability of EFL learners towards its relationship and other essential factors. Indonesian EFL students of the 5th semester taken the course of Academic Speaking in a private university (n=30) who were selected randomly responded Creative Personality Scale (CPS) and Self-Rating of Creativity. For the former, they described themselves by checking off 18 positively scored and 12 negatively scored items which were given a value of +1 and a value of -1, respectively. The latter was assessed by using eight items from the creativity scale. The 7-point Likert-type scales (1=strongly disagree, 7=strongly agree) were made to respond these items. Following this, the students' monologues based on five themes were scored using the IELTS Speaking Test Descriptor. The data were analyzed using Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient, pattern matching, and explanation building. The finding shows a significant correlation between EFL learners' creativity and their speaking ability (? = .961). The students also faced up to the cultural constraints in advancing their creativity. This study should, therefore, be of value to practitioners wishing to provide EFL students with appropriate materials that are addressed to enhance their speaking ability.
