Abstract

The integration of content knowledge and language should be applied while instructing writing in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) lessons. In an online lesson, additional vital support comes from a proper online writing tool. Therefore, the present study aims to portray how to teach writing in ESP classes using remote Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) combined with Google Docs as an online writing tool. The study employed a qualitative case study. 18 students from the Office Administration major at a private Indonesian university in Central Jakarta were involved in the study. Observations and open-ended questionnaires were used to collect the data. The observations were structured based on the writing stage, while the open-ended questionnaires were arranged based on the Uses and Gratification Expectancy (UGE) constructs. The findings revealed that all CLIL elements are applied to teach ESP writing in a full online learning setting; all 4Cs (communication, culture, content, and cognition) are detected during the learning either before or during the writing via Google Docs. Pertaining to the use of Google Docs, based on the cognitive, affective, personal, and perceived e-learning (PeLE) constructs of the UGE, most students give positive views after using it in their writing classes. In short, CLIL and Google Docs make a good collaboration in teaching ESP writing. Recommendations for potential research are also discussed.

Abstract

Language diversity is generally a norm in multilingual South African classroom. Orellana and García (2014) describe how multilingual speakers need to learn tools to allow them to be flexible with their language skills. Language brokering and code-switching form part of the everyday teaching and learning tools needed in South African multilingual classroom setting. Data was collected by means of observation and semi-structured interviews. Snowball sampling was used to select Francophone immigrant children or learners who were observed outside the classroom in order to establish how they interacted with their peers on school playgrounds. Their personal narratives were collected and analyzed to enhance triangulation and thematic analysis was used to understand how immigrant children acted as language brokers. This research sets out to consolidate the position of language brokering and code-switching as pedagogically oriented language practices in a multilingual classroom setting. Using the sociocultural theories and the funds of knowledge (FoK), the current study rejects a deficit model, where linguistically and culturally diverse institutions of learning are reputed to be incapable of offering rich learning experiences and resources.

Abstract

Digital learning has become a new learning mode in higher education.  Learners have become heavily dependent on YouTube channels and other technology-enhanced language learning platforms. As the YouTube platform has become an inexorable part of students’ lives, language teachers can explore their perceptions and assist them to learn English language with the help of this platform. This study aimed to find out the learners’ perception of using YouTube as a learning medium to enhance their language learning. In addition, a few pedagogical implications will also be provided. The research respondents comprised sixty-six undergraduate students of the Department of English, Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data were collected using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that the majority of the students reported that they benefitted by watching YouTube educational videos; however, in preparing assignments, being attentive while studying, and acquiring grammatical competence, learners reported that this platform had little impact. Most of the students reported that YouTube helped them to learn English vocabulary, to make learning English very interesting, to comprehend the contents of YouTube videos in a very easy manner, get relevant materials to learn English language, acquire English language better by writing down the major points in a diary while watching videos, to develop speaking skills watching YouTube videos, and to enhance listening comprehension. Therefore, based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the use of YouTube has numerous positive impacts on EFL learners’ English language proficiency.

Abstract

Classroom assessment serves both summative and formative functions to gauge evidence, evaluate and improve student learning. Assessment evidence is only meaningful when it reflects the true picture of student learning. In this sense, the role of effective assessment instrument, such as test, as crucial to obtain a valid and reliable evidence of student learning. However, we remain in caution about the ability of teachers in designing and developing assessment instruments which are underpinned by a sound theoretical understanding of language assessment principles.This research is set out to evaluate classroom-based assessment instrument (e.g., language test) against five principles of language assessment. To achieve the intended purposes, the research adopts an evaluative research approach by which assessment instrument developed by a teacher was evaluated and rated against the principles.

Abstract

Euphemisms are a linguistic phenomenon whereby milder or courteous words are substituted for blunt or unpleasant expressions. This study focuses on the use of euphemisms and related expressions in Paulo Coelho's book, "The Alchemist." Specifically, the research aims to identify the various euphemistic devices employed, ascertain the prevalence of such devices, and explicate their significance within the context of the novel. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed, which involved an in-depth and detailed exploration and analysis of the phenomena under investigation. To obtain the necessary data, a comprehensive review of relevant literature and library resources was conducted. The results revealed that Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" contains several euphemisms that serve to enhance the overall tone and mood of the narrative. The study further identified four distinct types of euphemisms in the novel, namely euphemisms used to soften descriptions of physical attributes, mental states, skills, etc., euphemisms used to make disagreeable situations more palatable, euphemisms used in business contexts, and euphemisms used in other contexts. Of these categories, the most common type, accounting for 44.5% of all instances, was found to be euphemisms used to make something sound more pleasant.

Abstract

Languages are not set, autonomous, bounded entities whose nature cannot be disrupted; they are flexible entities that can be reformed, re-arranged and recreated to fit into new contexts of communication. This study was driven by the need to explore the instructional design used to promote translingual practices in an English first additional language context in the Further Education and Training phase. For this qualitative study, eight (8) English first additional language teachers in the Further Education and Training phase were used as respondents. These teachers were stationed at four (4) high schools in one district of South Africa, meaning two (2) teachers per school were selected. The researchers used telephone interviews to collect data. The results revealed that translanguaging can be used in conjunction with collaborative activities like co-teaching, peer tutoring and group work in the English first additional language classroom.  Besides, all learners have prior knowledge gained from schooling and life experiences and English first additional language teachers can build on those experiences. Also, based on the findings, it is indispensable to take advantage of modern technological facilities like WhatsApp in aiding the task of teaching English first additional language.
