Abstract

This article reports on pedagogical practices in teaching SiSwati as a first language (SL1) in diverse linguistic settings of Eswatini. In response to educational research indicating the vital role played by a learner’s first language in learning, the Eswatini government embarked on an exercise of decolonising the curriculum in 2011 by using SiSwati as the medium of instruction and learning in the foundation and middle phases and a core subject throughout primary and senior secondary school. However, arguably, research on African language pedagogy is scanty, let alone teaching of SiSwati, as the little available research has been on issues of policy, thus leaving a knowledge gap on the pedagogy in SiSwati first language (SL1). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore pedagogical practices that are used in the SL1 class in compliance with the policy, which provides for SiSwati to be a compulsory subject and a vehicle for teaching and learning in early primary schools.. This qualitative case study involved eight teachers who taught SL1 in the foundation and middle phases. Data were generated through interviews. The findings indicated that teachers’ practices were anchored in the understanding that teaching SL1 meant equipping learners with functional language skills, such as productive and receptive skills, essential for studying across subject curricula. However,  a lack of pedagogical knowledge thwarted teachers’ practices to teach language in general, let alone to multilingual learners as expository pedagogy dominated SL1 classrooms, as opposed to curriculum requirements that learner-centred pedagogies anchored in social practice be used. Besides, these findings advocate for culturally responsive pedagogies appropriate to teach SL1 to learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

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

This article critically reviews the mobile reading experiences of a group of twenty-three Zimbabwean urban adolescent learners. This paper contends that while mobile reading is a growing mode of literacy development across the world, little is known about the different strategies Zimbabwean adolescent learners have had to employ as they reconfigure and rethink their literacy practices around new reading media like cell phones and tablets. This paper adopts a constructivist approach to trace, document, and analyse the personal narratives of the participants’ mobile reading experiences during their transformational journeys towards becoming active mobile readers. The participants’ voices were captured using task-based evaluative focus group interviews. Through this cooperative collaborative approach, the researcher managed to engage the participants on critical issues surrounding their digital literacy practices, their digital identities, their digital inclusion, and digital exclusion thereof. It was established that the adolescent participants were a digital generation living in a digital age and their reading needs and expectations were ever-growing and ever-changing. The adolescent participants expected their digital reading to be like the rest of their digital lives: quick, uninterrupted, personalised, and smart. Educational practitioners ought not to assume that adolescent learners as digital natives will automatically become successful mobile readers, but rather they should make accommodations for, and teach adolescents the art of digital learning and mobile reading. This paper recommends the scaling up of mobile reading initiatives and research in Zimbabwe so that the mobile reading phenomenon is further demystified.
