Abstract

Situated in an action research study, this investigation describes the impact of scaffolding on the perceptions of preservice teachers of English. An action plan was developed for this group of preservice teachers as they showed concern for some of their communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration skills known as learning and innovative skills or 4Cs. The action plan comprised the use of scaffolding as the main means of instruction, which was executed by the design of various evidenced-based scaffolds including group discussions, note-taking, summarizing, comparing, hypothesizing and problem-solving. The group of preservice teachers included 11 students, 4 male and 7 female, aged 20 and 38 of an English education program in a private university in Ñuble, Chile. Data was collected in three main stages using an open-ended questionnaire before, during and after the implementation of the action plan. Findings showed that the use of scaffolding increased participants’ perceptions of their overall 4Cs skills, being critical thinking the most salient area of change. It is hoped that English teacher education programs can incorporate scaffolding as a potential instructional method in the development of academic and crucial skills for future teacher generations.

Abstract

This study investigates the attitudes of first-year university students toward the use of asynchronous applications in learning reading comprehension. The primary objectives were to determine students' perceptions of using smartphone-based asynchronous media platforms (AMP) for reading comprehension, assess how these applications enhance student engagement, and understand the rationale behind their use. Data were collected via a questionnaire administered to twenty-seven first-year university students. A case study approach was employed, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The findings indicate that students have a positive attitude toward the use of asynchronous applications for reading comprehension, with high average scores on the questionnaire demonstrating favorable assessments of these tools. The positive student attitudes toward asynchronous applications suggest that integrating these tools into the EFL curriculum could significantly enhance reading comprehension and engagement. The use of asynchronous media platforms provides flexibility and accessibility, enabling students to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. In conclusion, the findings of this study highlight the potential benefits of asynchronous applications in EFL learning environments. By adopting these tools, educators can create more dynamic and interactive learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of students.

Abstract

Collocational competence is gaining more attention in the field of second language acquisition as it indicates a higher level of target language proficiency. However, Thai university students have been reported as obtaining a low degree of collocational competence which affects productive second language writing (Boonyarattanasoonthorn et al., 2020). The current study aimed to examine the impacts of blended corpus-based instruction (BCBI) on enhancing Thai university students’ writing proficiency and to examine the students’ attitudes towards the implementation of BCBI. A mixed-methods one-group experimental study was conducted with 43 first-year English major students at an autonomous university in Thailand for 8 weeks. The data were gathered utilizing a pre-test, a post-test, an attitude questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview. The results revealed significant differences between the scores before and after the implementation of BCBI at 0.05. Despite there being no drastic change in their collocational competence, the students were highly positive towards the instruction, in particular the use of corpus-based data to assist their writing as well as the awareness of gaining collocational competence. To effectively integrate corpus-based instruction into a writing pedagogy, tasks should be manageable and achievable by the students.

Abstract

Project-based learning, which has been widely claimed to be helping students build skills needed in the 21st century, has been implemented in various teaching and learning contexts, including in higher education settings. This research was intended to explore how Project-based Learning (PBL) was implemented in a university setting from both students' and lecturers' perspectives in an Indonesian University. This qualitative research involved 17 students who participated in various projects while taking university courses and two lecturers who taught using PBL. The data were gathered from students' written reflections and lecturers' interviews. Teachers' semester plans were analyzed to triangulate the data. The obtained data were analyzed thematically based on emerging themes. The findings show that both students and lecturers consider PBL to be beneficial in strengthening the development of 21st century skills. In particular, the students consider PBL to offer them some benefits, such as improving their critical thinking skills, promoting creativity, fostering collaboration, and expanding their knowledge. Despite its usefulness, PBL has some constraints that are time-consuming and provoke tensions among group members as they have different ideas to work on the project. In contrast to the students' perspectives, the lecturers have slightly different views on PBL. The lecturers consider PBL as a good teaching approach, yet monitoring students' progress and assessing the product were two challenges, especially during the pandemic time.
