Abstract

Effective feedback mechanisms are fundamental to fostering learner agency and a growth mindset, yet there is limited exploration of how they are integrated into high school English modules. This research investigates the extent to which Grade 8 English instructional modules incorporate growth-mindset-oriented features, with particular emphasis on practice feedback solicitation strategies, and examines feedback dynamics during classroom implementation. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, forty-one learning tasks from official modules were analyzed using Dweck’s growth mindset theoretical framework, complemented by survey data collection from five English high school educators (n=5). Quantitative analysis revealed minimal integration of growth mindset principles, with only 2.4% of examined tasks explicitly incorporating learner-initiated feedback requests, metacognitive reflection prompts, or collaborative peer/ family engagement components. Feedback provision was predominantly teacher-driven (100%), with moderate peer involvement (60%), and no parental engagement. Written and oral feedback were most common while electronic modes were used selectively. The study highlights the need to redesign modules with explicit inquiry prompts, reflective tasks, and collaborative opportunities to align with growth mindset principles and responsive assessment practices. Implications extend to the development of flexible, learner-centered assessment tools relevant to both traditional and disrupted learning environments.

Abstract

As access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) grows in Nigeria, tutorial videos explaining how AI tools can be exploited to excel in examinations began to emerge online. However, there is a concern that secondary school students may come to perceive it as a shortcut to bypass learning, thereby leading to negative attitudes toward responsible AI use. This study investigated the cognitive awareness, affective dispositions, and behavioural practices of secondary school students in Ondo State regarding AI, while also proposing strategies for cultivating constructive “Smart AI-titudes.” A descriptive survey design was employed which involved 350 students selected through simple random sampling technique in Ondo state. A structured questionnaire titled: Smart AI-titude Questionnaire (SAQ) (r=0.81) was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and PPMC. Findings revealed that students demonstrated very high awareness of what AI means (????̄ = 3.03) and its tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini (????̄ = 2.90). More so, students strongly agreed that they trust AI information (????̄ = 3.21), and feel comfortable using tools like ChatGPT (????̄ = 3.23). However, they disagreed with using AI to understand difficult topics (????̄ = 1.38), yet strongly agreed to using it for assignments with little effort (????̄ = 3.70). The study concludes that students’ recognition-level awareness does not match with constructive practices. Thi study, among others, recommends that AI literacy should be integrated into the curriculum and equips teachers to model responsible AI use.

Abstract

Anxiety is a significant factor affecting learners' language performance. Hence, this study aimed to explore the anxieties that last-mile learners experienced when learning English using a phenomenological approach to qualitative research. Eight Grade 7 participants were selected through purposive and convenience sampling for in-depth interviews, given their accessibility and availability within the school setting. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data collected. Findings revealed that last-mile learners experienced both positive and negative aspects of English language learning. The negative aspects included inadequate English language proficiency, fear of making mistakes, inability to answer questions, and fear of embarrassment, particularly during speaking tasks and assessments. To cope with these, learners employed various strategies, such as emotional regulation, seeking social support from peers and teachers, and engaging in academic practices like self-study and repetition. In response to the findings, the V.O.I.C.E. Framework was developed to address English language learning anxiety. The study recommends that English instruction be made more interactive, inclusive, and learner-centered to reduce anxiety and enhance student engagement. Future research is encouraged to examine this phenomenon further to uncover deeper insights and inform effective educational interventions.

Abstract

This research analyzes illocutionary speech acts in selected TEDx Talks delivered by Zhafira Aqyla and Fathia Fairuza on YouTube. It focuses on two main objectives: identifying the types of illocutionary acts and examining their communicative functions. Using Searle’s 1976 classification—representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative—this qualitative study applies documentation and note-taking techniques for data collection. Findings show that a total of 158 utterances were identified: 78 from Zhafira’s talk and 80 from Fathia’s. Representative acts were the most dominant (115 occurrences), followed by directive (30), commissive (8), and expressive (5) acts; declarative acts were not found. The most frequently observed functions include stating (42), describing (29), informing (18), advising (11), and reporting (18). These functions reflect how each speaker conveyed intentions such as informing, persuading, encouraging, or engaging the audience. The results show the significance of illocutionary functions in shaping speaker intention and audience impact, particularly on digital public speaking platforms like TEDx Talks.
