Abstract

University students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) often struggle with speaking anxiety, limited practice opportunities, and performance pressure. This paper explores the challenges and attitudes of EFL university students towards Project-Based Learning (PBL) implemented in a speaking class at the tertiary level in the Indonesian context. The study included 35 university students from a public university in Indonesia. The researchers employed a mixed-methods approach to examine students' attitudes and challenges. Data were gathered through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the questionnaire revealed predominantly positive attitudes towards PBL. The interviews uncovered challenges, such as lack of confidence, pronunciation difficulties, time constraints, heavy workload, and performance anxiety. Despite these challenges, the students had positive attitudes, emphasising PBL's potential for enhancing speaking skills. The study recommends targeted interventions to address lingering challenges and refine PBL implementation.

Abstract

Foreign language teachers often face distinct challenges in their professional journey, which can lead to burnout and decreased resilience. Foreign Language Teaching Enjoyment (FLTE) is an emotion that can help teachers overcome such challenges and difficulties. This study firstly examines the relationship between EFL teachers’ FLTE and their burnout, and secondly explores the relationship between EFL teachers’ FLTE and their resilience. The study also investigates the influence of EFL teachers’ FLTE on their burnout. The participants were 204 Iranian EFL teachers, comprising 140 females and 64 males. In the data collection, the participants responded to three online questionnaires, namely the Foreign Language Teaching Enjoyment Scale (FLTES), the Burnout Scale, and the Resilience Scale. The results of Pearson product-moment correlation indicated that EFL teachers’ FLTE was associated with both their burnout and their resilience. Moreover, the regression analysis showed that EFL teachers’ FLTE significantly predicted their burnout. The findings can help teachers set up a successful teaching and learning environment by boosting their sense of well-being. Education stakeholders can also utilize these findings to improve job satisfaction.

Abstract

This research explored the role of alternative assessments in highlighting students' language abilities by focusing on their strengths. Through interviews with 20 Hebrew language teachers in the Arab-Bedouin education system in Israel, the study revealed that, unlike traditional assessments, alternative methods were performance-based, student-centered, and emphasized communication over accuracy. Teachers identified authentic tasks as crucial for allowing students to assess their own learning while meeting educational goals. Key criteria for these tasks included reflecting students' interests, connecting to real-life contexts, encouraging creativity, and producing high-quality results.

Abstract

With the growing spread of English as a Lingua Franca, universities around the world are increasingly offering courses taught in English, the Algerian Minister of Higher Education recently required content teachers to use English as a medium of instruction (EMI) into their classrooms. Nonetheless, the new instruction has led to many apprehensions among these teachers, who must change their mode of instruction at short notice. To ensure a smooth transition, teachers are required to pursue intensive English courses to improve their proficiency. Based on a quantitative method, the study investigates teachers’ attitudes and assessment of professional development sessions in Algerian universities one year after the beginning of the English sessions; it gauges the satisfaction of 125 higher education subject-matter instructors with the pedagogical program offered and discusses its impact on teachers’ English proficiency. The findings revealed that 46% of teachers are enrolled in the English courses and indicated low satisfaction with the implemented program. Furthermore, these valuable results have significant implications for the design of more effective and successful pedagogical training programs in Algerian higher education. Though the findings cannot be generalized, it does include features that instructors might find valuable.

Abstract

This paper aims to grasp the structure and development of Japanese language writings. It examines the element of “Toukatsusei,” the unity of meaning and completeness in the text, which is crucial for language acquisition success. This qualitative descriptive study explores Japanese language reading texts by analyzing characteristics and classification based on their features. Using documentation techniques, data were gathered from 106 Japanese-language instruction readings at the State University of Surabaya, Indonesia, and then compiled into data tables. The structure and meaning of texts in situational and cultural settings were investigated using the referential matching and distribution approach. The findings reveal that emphasis on the subject and coherence in description books depended much on repetition. A coherent story was developed by repeating words, phrases, clauses, and sentences—both whole and in part. Furthermore, it was beneficial to create a unity of meaning and a coherent text structure using conjunctions “tenkagata” and “gyakusetsugata.” This emphasizes how well the Japanese language expresses links between concepts and strengthens the text’s descriptive framework.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of Japanese honorific language variants (keigo)—teineigo, kenjougo, and sonkeigo—among university students studying Japanese, emphasizing the progression of ability throughout academic levels. The study intends to examine patterns in honorific usage and explore factors affecting students’ application of keigo. A Japanese Literature program was executed utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach and sociolinguistic theory, resulting in data gathering through questionnaires administered to 30 students (10 sophomores, 10 juniors, and 10 seniors). The data indicate that 80% of sophomores utilize teineigo, whereas 40% of juniors employ both sonkeigo and at least 40% of another form. Senior citizens favor sonkeigo and kenjougo due to their extensive cultural-linguistic understanding. Key characteristics encompass formal engagement with elders, maintaining esteemed standards, and readiness for professional settings. These results underscore the imperative for keigo training that is customized to the specific developmental stage of learners, prioritizing pragmatic skill and cultural awareness. The study advocates incorporating sociolinguistic contexts into Japanese language courses to connect classroom instruction with practical communication.

Abstract

This study investigates how hyperpolyglots—individuals proficient in six or more languages—adapt their language learning strategies in response to sociocultural contexts and resource availability. Using a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design, the research draws on in-depth interviews and an adapted Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire completed by 30 hyperpolyglots from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Thematic analysis revealed five key findings: strategic flexibility across sociocultural contexts, the central role of social interaction as a motivational and practical scaffold, creative innovation in resource-scarce environments, language-specific strategy differentiation, and integrative, metacognitive planning. These findings extend previous models of strategy use by foregrounding the role of culture, community, and learner-generated tools in multilingual success. This study contributes to sociocultural theory in applied linguistics by highlighting how real-world conditions and interactions shape strategy selection and effectiveness.

Abstract

The article aims to describe simile as a figure of speech represented in the most famous novel ‘White Teeth’ by Zadie Smith. Similes have been chosen as a base for the study due to their pragmatic potential to depict reality in post-colonial Britain. The idea of the study is to prove that simile in the novel is a rather complicated semantically and syntactically phenomenon used to introduce the key problems of the international community. The material of the study was the sentences through the novel selected on the approach that they contain the indicator like or as with the following reference. The research design outlines simile as a figure of speech with a broad range of characteristics to depict problems of the multicultural community in the modern world. The pragmatic and semantic analysis are used to describe simile representation in the text.  The results of the research show the roles of the simile in presenting the key problems of the novel. These findings help to enhance the theory of simile as a potential figure of speech and make it possible to perceive Zadie Smith’s style as an influential writer in the modern world.

Abstract

The integration of technology in teaching ESP courses in rural universities has shifted from a conventional to an integrated learning process. Hence, technology integration remains challenging for urban Gen-Z teachers due to rural students' learning habits. This current study focused on how ESP teachers empowered technology to encourage rural students' positive learning emotions. Nine teachers with urban culture and habits from three rural universities were involved in the interview study. Based on deductive content analysis, the findings revealed students' preferences towards the types of learning technology (i.e., web-based apps, social media platforms, and electronic tools). Particular strategies (i.e., mobile learning and social media use, flipped classrooms, blogging, and podcasting) were indulged during the ESP course. On the other side, the teachers were challenged with teaching and learning barriers (i.e., linguistic, cultural and psychological) that reduced technology use quality. Above all, ESP courses in rural contexts should be promoted using a particular instructional design and approach.
