Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of online speaking tasks (OST) on the English communication ability of Thai EFL undergraduates. The study further examined students’ perspectives toward online oral presentation tasks. A questionnaire translated into the participants’ native language was utilized and distributed to collect data during the pandemic. The data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Four hundred and eighty-two students from Prince of Songkla University and Walailak University participated in this study. The study reveals that the use of technology is key to improving students’ English communication skills. Discourse analysis further showed that oral presentation tasks helped students improve their English communication skills. Pronunciation activity was the most difficult task students faced. It is strongly recommended that online learning through technology could be incorporated to complement the in-person learning environment.

Abstract

Despite the growing concerns of research discussing transcreation in translation studies from various perspectives, little empirical evidence reported the transcreation in Quranic translation as a religious sacred text. To fill this void, the present study aims to elucidate Qur'an translation in Indonesia from the perspective of trancreation and critical discourse analysis. The data were collected via observation of translations of Quranic verses which contain transcreation. The findings suggest that Quranic translation as a religious sacred text encompasses extensive transcreation. It took the form of words, phrases, and clauses—units used to create a discourse in upholding Islamic law and exclusivism in Indonesia. The discourse of Sharia law enforcement was attributed to situational, institutional, and social factors. This empirical study implies that transcreation in the sacred text is unavoidable due to the translators' ideology and socio-cultural background differences and creates a metanarrative on the importance of mutual respect, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue.

Abstract

The current study aims is to investigate the perceptions and expectations of English as a foreign language (EFL) university students regarding the usage of information and communication technology (ICT) in English language learning. This study also investigates the frequency of ICT use among EFL university students for both general and English learning purposes. A convergent parallel mixed methods design was used in this study. Two instruments were used to collect data they are, an online questionnaire and semi-structured interview. A total of 337 students participated in the online questionnaire. A Semi-structured interview was used to gather in-depth information to follow up on the questionnaire to 10 participants purposefully selected who answered the questionnaire with a set of criteria; participants agree to be interviewed; the participants’ mean score of survey result is >3. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and the qualitative data were analyzed and coded thematically. The findings indicated that students spend more time using ICT for general objectives (e.g. social media and entertainment) than for English study. They did, however, demonstrate favorable attitudes regarding the utilization of ICT for English language learning. Furthermore, they intended the campus to provide adequate technological facilities and internet access in each classroom to assist the learning process. Students believe that ICT can assist them enhance their English language skills. As a result, teachers should incorporate more ICT into their English language instruction.

Abstract

The objectives of the current research are to identify and quantify the cognitive strategies non-English students use when working on assignments or solving problems of the English language they are learning and seek to find out non-English students’ motivation and background knowledge of English as sustaining factors related to the use of numerous cognitive strategies leading to the success of learning. This research employed a case study qualitative approach. Data were taken from observations and interviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results of this research show that non-English students treated as the subject of this research employed the so-called cognitive strategies in doing all tasks, including auditory representation, repetition, note-taking, resourcing, inferring, translation, and transfer. Although most students had only the so-called instrumental motivation, weak interest, and also, they lacked knowledge of English, yet it is proven that the cognitive strategies they employed have enabled them to do all given tasks. An important implication of this study is that learning should include training and supporting the students to understand the importance of learning strategy.

Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the effects of autonomous pronunciation learning using AI as well as the experiences of autonomous pronunciation learning using AI by higher level students. Explanatory sequential mixed-method research using both quantitative and qualitative methods was employed within thirty-two students from Universitas PGRI Semarang's first-year students serving as the sample. Assessments, interviews, and an evaluation of instructional materials were used as the instruments. Through pre- and post-testing, quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the students’ pronunciation proficiency. Quantitative data analysis was done using SPSS. However, a qualitative analysis was used to review the interview. To bolster the findings of the tests, it was descriptively examined. After the treatments using an AI based application named ELSA, there was a significant correlation between the use of AI and autonomous pronunciation learning. However, ELSA has certain shortcomings. It appears to be primarily concerned with segmental than suprasegmental features. Only intonation is available from among all the features offered to practice suprasegmental features. While students found it difficult to emphasize words, there is no other practice for suprasegmental qualities. In reality, the ELSA website states that its curriculum covers core English skills such as word stress, intonation, rhythm, listening, and conversation. As a result, the ELSA creator may take this criticism into consideration as they continue to improve their product. It implies that the creator is responsive to the concerns or suggestions of their customers or users, which can contribute to the ongoing development and success of the product.

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, educators must have competency in technology integration in language classrooms for language learning, which should receive much attention in teacher training programs and professional development. Furthermore, integrating digital multimodal composing into English language teaching through digital storytelling books might assist teachers in building their technological abilities. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the pre-service teachers' experiences in designing digital storytelling books with digital multimodal composing frameworks. The present study adopted narrative inquiry to elucidate pre-service teachers' experiences designing digital storytelling books with multimodal composing framework. This study highlights the experiences of four postgraduate students as pre-service EFL teachers in designing digital books as teaching media. According to the findings, pre-service teachers employ the critical, creative, and technical domains as phases in creating digital storytelling books, which include information from written reflections and interviews. Further research needs to examine the teacher's perceptions of designing digital books as teaching media in real class and students' perceptions when using books designed by the teacher.

Abstract

Writing is an essential skill for EFL learners to be able to communicate effectively. Achieving effective communication is condemned by the degree of developing text coherence. Reviewing the related literature shows that coherence, unlike other text features, posits a significant problem with L2 learners, males and females. Due to biological and cultural differences between males and females, both sexes may bring variety to coherence development in text writing. This case has not received a due account in discourse analysis studies, creating a gap in the literature. Accordingly, the present study aimed to identify the level of coherence in L2 written texts from a gender perspective. To achieve the objectives of the study, all 40 graduates of English, 20 males, and 20 females, Faculty of Education, Ibb University, Yemen, in the academic year 2019 – 2020, participated in this study. A writing test was used as a research tool to collect the required data. Using both descriptive and inferential research approaches, a number of findings were revealed. The most important ones are: there was a lack of coherence in both males' and females' written texts (M = 15.45/30, SD = 4.56); and there were no statistically significant differences between the mean score of male and female graduates (M = 16.10 > 14.80 <, SD = 4.96 > 4.14  , t = - 0.90,  P > 0.05) attributed to the variable of gender. Based on the findings of the study, a number of pedagogical implications were introduced; most notably, policymakers, course designers, and teachers should pay ample attention to the contents of writing courses focusing on text coherence to sensitize EFL learners to such a text feature to be able to produce coherent texts.

Abstract

Selecting the appropriate texts as the authentic material for English teaching, particularly at the university level, matched with students’ mastery level is still challenging. This study attempts to investigate the readability level of reading texts through the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) issued by ChatGPT, focused on whether the complexity level of the texts matches the standard level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) by proposed British Council. Through the qualitative design with content analysis, this study examines eighteen texts classified following CEFR levels issued by ChatGPT. It analyzes their lexical density, grammatical intricacy, and lexical variation to know the complexity of the texts. The analysis revealed that the complexity level of the texts issued by ChatGPT has not thoroughly followed the standard level of the texts used by the British Council on the CEFR level, indicating that several texts are inappropriate with their complexity levels. It is found that the complexity level of the texts issued by ChatGPT is determined by the length of the texts that increase from the basic level to the proficient level seen from the number of words in each text, not by their lexical density, grammatical intricacy, and lexical variation indexes. The study provides implications for the lecturer to carefully select the text used as teaching material issued by ChatGPT by relying on the lexico-grammatical analysis of the text to help students achieve the comprehension stage.

Abstract

Learning language is learning to communicate in spoken and written form. However, learning to speak can be difficult due to a lack of linguistic resources. The students may encounter problems in communicating ideas and thus, it ends in a communication breakdown. To overcome this problem, some communication strategies like message abandonment and fillers can be used. Furthermore, communication strategies can foster students’ engagement in classroom interaction, especially in an English as Lingua Franca (ELF) context. The present study was intended to explore how the communication strategies were performed in the context of ELF and the contribution of strategies to the students’ engagement. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the present research investigated students’ communication strategies in an international class. The findings revealed that communication strategies were creatively performed in a variety of ways. The strategies were proven to be contributive in fostering engagement by increasing students’ self-confidence, boosting their self-respect, and pushing the students to be active during classroom interaction.

Abstract

Exploring academic writing readiness is fundamental for EFL learners, underscoring the importance of refined measurement methods in global research. This study aims to assess the academic writing readiness of EFL learners and highlight the progress in the specifically designed measurement instrument. The study employed Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on 107 undergraduates in English studies to validate an academic instrument. Participants were selected for diverse experiences and underwent the survey in their usual classroom. CFA assessed factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity. Cronbach's alpha measured consistency, and data was analyzed using AMOS software. Adjustments were made when model discrepancies arose. The findings indicate that (1) the English Academic Writing Readiness scale dimensions encompass vocabulary, grammar, structure, formatting, and time management. (2) The structural equation model highlights five dimensions with respective factor loadings between 0.50 and 0.89. (3) The theoretical model aligns with observed data, supported by RMSEA, AGFI, TLI, and CFI. (4) The instrument reliably assesses five English Academic Writing Readiness dimensions. The findings imply refined pedagogical strategies for English academic writing instruction
