Focus and Scope Aims • The journal provides a formal, well-organised forum for non-native-English scholars to make new academic contributions to research and practice in ELT on a global basis. • The journal serves as a hosting space for both native and non-native academics to share ideas and become involved in novel dialogues, with an emphasis on under-researched areas in the field. Scopes • Local teachers’ beliefs about various aspects of ELT theory and practice • Fresh insights into current debates and controversial topics • Shared research findings from both teachers and scholars in ELT, especially from an outer circle perspective • Case studies in local contexts that enhance the localisation of academic theories in ELT (such as the practice of the lesson study model that originates outside of the inner circle) • Recognition of local teachers’ voices, which are less heard of in the inner-circle discourse, and their practical classroom ideas that are less common but important to not overlooked • Rethinking the transferability of ELT theories across global context (such as the communicative doctrine, the meaning of autonomy, the practice of verbal participation, etc.) • Practical classroom experiments in language education that would expand teachers’ knowledge and skills • Identifying gaps and addressing new topics that have not been strong focuses in previous research discourse in education (such as the use of silence in teaching, the improved alignment between pedagogy and assessment, etc.)

Abstract

Writing is one of the fundamental language skills. To address the need for effective writing strategies, this study aims to describe students' learning strategies for developing writing skills when learning writing online. This research employs a mixed-method approach. Data collection techniques include a questionnaire and interview. The Inventory of Learning Strategies, based on and modified from Oxford (1990), was validated and used for this study. The questionnaire was distributed to 190 sixth-semester students in the English Education Department. The questionnaire data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel to determine the frequency of each strategy. Additionally, interviews were conducted with 12 students from the same department, and the results were classified according to Oxford's learning strategy classifications. The research findings indicate that students in the English Education Department utilize all learning strategies: metacognitive, memory, cognitive, compensation, affective, and social strategies. Compensation strategies were the most frequently used (19.46%). It is followed by metacognitive strategies (16.67%), affective strategies (16.65%), social strategies (15.36%) and memory strategies (14.95%) in learning writing online. This can facilitate teachers to find out the suitable teaching methods that accommodate the strategies used by students so that they can learn the language especially in writing more easily and more effectively.

Abstract

Understanding conversation analysis (CA) in a K-pop interview setting offers valuable insights into how multilingual speakers manage turn-taking, negotiate meaning, and engage in structured dialogue within a media context. This study examines the interactional patterns in an interview between Kevan Kenney and the K-pop idol group NCT127 on the BUILD talk show. Using a Conversation Analysis (CA) approach, this research aims to identify the CA aspects that emerge during the interview and to explore their communicative functions. A qualitative approach, specifically a descriptive qualitative method, was employed to analyze the primary data, which consisted of a video interview and its conversational transcript. The findings reveal the presence of key CA elements, including opening conversation, adjacency pairs, preference organization, turn-taking, feedback, repair, and closing conversation. Additionally, six communicative functions—referential, emotive, conative, phatic, metalinguistic, and poetic—were identified. These results highlight the structured nature of conversation in media interviews and the role of language functions in shaping interaction, particularly in cross-cultural and multilingual settings. By analyzing this interaction, the study contributes to the broader field of discourse analysis, particularly in media and intercultural communication.

Abstract

Grammar instruction is a fundamental component of English language learning, providing learners with the structural foundation necessary for effective communication. Despite its importance, many students struggle to engage with grammar due to its perceived complexity and abstract rules. This literature review explores the significance of teaching grammar and examines a range of creative strategies designed to enhance learner engagement and comprehension. Emphasis is placed on the role of English teachers in implementing innovative methods—such as games, storytelling, music, art, and digital tools—to facilitate more dynamic and memorable grammar lessons. The reviewed studies indicate that creative grammar instruction not only improves students’ understanding of grammatical concepts but also fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and intrinsic motivation. Additionally, the review highlights the relevance of 21st-century learning trends, including technology integration and paperless classrooms, in shaping effective grammar pedagogy. Finally, it addresses the need for teacher preparedness in adopting modern and imaginative approaches to grammar instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach to enhance social functional text writing skills among nursing students at Fhisrinthon Nursing School, Yala, Thailand. Social functional texts, such as patient reports and healthcare instructions, are essential for effective communication in nursing. The research investigates: (1) How is the CTL approach implemented to improve nursing students' writing of social functional texts? (2) What improvements in writing abilities and engagement are observed under the CTL approach? Using a classroom action research design, the study follows two iterative cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants include 15 nursing students, with data collected through writing tasks, classroom observations, interviews, and reflective journals. Writing scores are analyzed quantitatively, while qualitative data are examined thematically. Findings indicate that the CTL approach, integrating real-life nursing contexts, significantly improves students’ writing. Key strategies include aligning learning objectives with nursing-specific materials, vocabulary building, dialogue creation, and role-play activities in simulated hospital settings. Writing scores improved from 67.2 (pretest) to 75 (Cycle 1) and 78.6 (Cycle 2). Students also reported increased motivation, engagement, and satisfaction with the learning process. This research highlights the effectiveness of the CTL approach in nursing education, demonstrating its role in enhancing both writing skills and communication competencies essential for nursing practice. It offers practical insights for educators integrating contextually relevant teaching methods into English language instruction for healthcare professionals.

Abstract

This study analyses the linguistic strategies in Julius Nyerere’s speech on education in Tanzania. Data from ten (10) speeches of Julius Nyerere on education were descriptively analysed through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis Theory developed by Norman Fairclough. The data analysis involved exploring word choices, comparison and contrast of the information, and recording relationships between the ideas, all contributing to making of thematic categories. The findings indicate the presence of linguistic strategies such as pronouns, anaphora, parallelism, modal auxiliary verbs, adjectives, and rhythmical sentence structure in Nyerere’s utterances on education. These linguistic strategies in Nyerere’s statements reflect people’s power, ability, admiration, willingness, and emphasizing collective decision making on education. The study contributes to linguistic discourses in political public speaking. It enriches the methodological approaches to analyze political speeches and enlightens scholars pursuing research in political discourses and educational rhetoric.
