Abstract

Today in Japan, the impetus to effect positive change on students’ use of English as a communication tool is reflected in the thrust of the Ministry of Education to promote meaningful in-class practice as highlighted in the revised high school foreign language curriculum.  However, teachers face a dilemma of implementing meaningful classroom practice of English entirely without any focus on grammar or form.  Fortunately, an approach which may offer a balanced opportunity to create meaningful practice while highlighting the target expression in use is Task-supported language teaching (TSLT).  To better understand TSLT’s usefulness in an EFL setting, this classroom-based research explores the potential roles that students, the teacher, and the textbook play in a sociocultural approach-oriented EFL class employing TLST and how it complements a Japanese mainstream high school class. Utilizing mixed methods of sociocultural discourse analysis and self-reporting of Grade 11 (n=117) mainstream EFL learners, results indicate that: the students, talking in pairs using their L1, (1) understood difficult vocabulary, (2) managed assigned tasks, and (3) engaged in off-task dialogue; the teacher performed the roles of (1) classroom manager, (2) communicator of content, and (3) assessor and provider of feedback; and the textbook played (1) informative, (2) instructional, and (3) experiential roles in the classroom. It was also found that TLST complements a Japanese high school mainstream EFL class by (1) optimizing the limited time offered in class for students to tackle the TL; (2) aiding students in their standardized institutional exams; and (3) appealing to Japanese cultural sensibilities.

Abstract

Developing vocabulary is crucial because it allows a student to be proficient in four areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Students will not significantly improve their English language abilities if they lack the necessary vocabulary. The purpose of this study is to determine whether digital storytelling (DST) can replace traditional classroom instruction as a means of enhancing vocabulary knowledge. The study was carried out by utilizing a comparative research design. The participants aged from 13 to 14 years old and took grades 7 A and B of SMP N 3 Parongpong Junior High School. Pre-test, treatments, and post-tests were used to gather study data. From the results of the pre-test, it can be seen the participants' initial abilities were in a bad category with a score of less than 69. According to the initial results, this study aimed to show that the research had a significant impact on students' post-test performance as compared to their pre-test performance. The study's findings indicated that using digital storytelling helps learners in the experimental class grow their vocabulary knowledge and establish it. Throughout the treatment, learners who were taught using DST outperformed those who were not taught using DST. Furthermore, it was observed that the group with DST had a positive opinion on the utilization of digital storytelling in the classroom. The results also show how well digital storytelling involves students in the learning process.

Abstract

Many South African educational contexts, including the Foundation Phase are linguistically diverse. However, this diversity is not mostly catered for as evidenced by the prevalent monoglossic ideologies. This has resulted in low literacy levels in South Africa, which indicate a poor literacy foundation and limit learners’ ability to learn effectively and excel academically. Over the past decade, a number of literacy intervention programmes have been implemented at national and provincial level, but the impact has been minimal. There is need to explore and adopt other approaches to literacy development such as the translanguaging pedagogy which has been reported to be successful in other phases of education. However, there has not yet been studies that report on translanguaging undertaken at Foundation Phase in South Africa. Thus, this study explored the feasibility of a translanguaging pedagogy in the Foundation Phase to develop literacy for multilingual English first additional language learners. Through a systematic review, translanguaging studies conducted between the years 2015-2022 in South Africa and internationally were reviewed and analysed using a thematic analysis approach. Finding from this study reveal that learners’ home language should be considered as a resource for attaining deeper levels of meaning. By adopting a translanguaging approach, teachers can enhance multilingual learners’ literacy skills through strategies such as home-languaging, translation, juxtaposing languages and the flexible and dynamic use of the multimodal semiotic repertoire. However, future research is recommended to investigate the application of this pedagogy in the Foundation Phase classrooms in South Africa.

Abstract

The study of regional languages is a critical component of a nation's cultural and linguistic heritage. As such, it is imperative to conduct in-depth research into the meanings and nuances of regional languages. In this study, the Bima language (ngahi mbojo), which belongs to the Bima-Sumba language family and is widely spoken in the Bima and Dompu districts, was examined to map and explicate verbs with the concept of 'lean'. To gather the necessary data, oral and written sources were used, including storybooks in the Bima language. The research methodology utilized a combination of interviews and literature review, while the verification method was employed to collect and analyze the data. The method, which involves the alteration of form and the use of paraphrasing techniques, was utilized to determine the original meaning of the verb and its explication, resulting in 65 points of analysis. The study revealed that Bima language verbs with 'lean' can be mapped to entities, processes, tools, and results. Specifically, the lexicon used to express the concept of 'leaning' includes maru (sleeping), santengi (leaning), doho (sitting), oko (squatting), kidi (standing), and tu'u (getting up).

Abstract

Since Deaf children lack the foundation of a primary language, they find it difficult to learn a second language. As a result, it is suggested that South African Sign Language[1]  be taught as a first language and that the environment's dominant vocal language, such as English, be learnt  as a second language, primarily through writing. This essay summarises the results of a master's degree study that looked at teachers' experiences teaching Deaf students in South Africa's Gauteng region English as a First Additional Language (EFAL) using a qualitative research design. The purpose of this study was to investigate teaching methods appropriate for Deaf youngsters. Four data collection tools were used: focus group interviews, individual interviews, observations, field notes and documentation. Interviews with four female Foundation teachers took place in semi-structured focus groups and a one-on-one session. Four female Foundation Phase teachers who utilised EFAL as a language of learning and instructed Deaf students to use Sign Language as a form of communication participated in semi-structured focus groups. One of the four teachers is Deaf. The responses of the participants were recorded and analysed. Two key themes emerged from the interview data: (1) team teaching and its advantages, and (2) the use of customised test questions. The results showed that team teaching, which pairs two competent instructors—one Deaf and the other Hearing—to give learners full access to classroom communication and learning, can improve the lack of teachers' training in teaching Deaf students. The modified assessment was found to enhance these kids' academic performance and EFAL learning.
