By employing a classroom action research and library research, it was found that the direct method has been underlooked by teachers and researchers in recent years. It could be seen from the decrease of publication under this theme at least the ones indexed by Google Scholar.

Abstract

The Covid-19 Pandemic has influenced EFL learners' turn-taking system due to the sudden shift from traditional face-to-face classes to virtual learning. This study aimed at investigating the role of gender in turn-taking patterns in online Iranian EFL classrooms. To this end, the discourse exchanges of 55 Iranian upper-intermediate online English learners were collected and analyzed. The approximate equality of male and female students paved the way to scrutinize the role of gender. The data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed through the lens of the turn-taking system. Descriptive statistics followed by the Chi-square tests and paired comparison tests revealed that teacher selection occurred more frequently than self-selection, and using vocatives was the most preferred strategy applied by the teachers. Moreover, males took more turns compared to the female students. Therefore, gender was a determinative factor in the dominant patterns of turn-taking in online classrooms. The results could provide insightful information for teachers on creating a dialogic atmosphere in virtual classes in which all students can engage in a cooperative discussion.

Abstract

Indo-Canadian Diasporic literatures deal with the displacement of identities andthe cultural assimilation that occurs over generation and with re-discovering the‘hyphenated-identities’ that forms a major part of a diaspora. The constantconflict between ‘homeland’ and the ‘host-land’ creates a feeling ofdisplacement that becomes a central theme for diasporic literatures. Indo-Canadian diasporic people bond over their shared nostalgia of the homeland –they experience a sort of parallel existence with one foot in the homeland andthe other in the host-land. Through the two prominent novels of Indo-Canadiandiaspora – Anita Rau Badami’s Can You Hear The Nightbird Call? AndRohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance we understand the diasporic identity andwhat it entails. We will study how the characters in both the novels are alleffected by the socio-political and economic conditions of India during the 1975Emergency and how it alters each character. Badami’s novel moves between theSikhs living in India and Sikhs living in Canada and the plight of them, whileMistry deals with Hindu - Muslim conflicts. This paper focuses on how readingthese Canadian literatures during a worldwide Covid-19 pandemic changesone’s understanding of diasporic literature, cultures and diasporic identities.In a covid-19 pandemicsituation when many Indians living in Canada are horrified about the conditionsin their homeland, their helplessness for not being able to visit, relying onvirtual world/online modes of communication to keep themselves up to date onthe conditions in their homeland. Reading Canadian literatures with historicalcontexts of crisis situations, mass deaths, economic and sociological downfall,political crisis etc., at a time when we ourselves are undergoing or rathersurviving through a worldwide pandemic with countless deaths, economicdownfall etc., shapes or alters the approach towards diasporic literatures givingus a better understanding of Canadian literatures.

Abstract

The importance of a student's soft skills communication in language learning, particularly in their cognitive development, cannot be overstated. These skills, in turn, provide the groundwork for the development of other characteristics related to students' personal and career development. The descriptive correlational study aimed to verify the significant relationship between soft skills communication and cognitive development of the First-year Purposive Communication students. The findings revealed that there is a very high level of soft skills communication with a mean of 4.35. While cognitive development has a mean score of 4.44 which entails a very high distinction. On the other hand, when it comes to determining the significant relationship, it was found out that there is indeed a great connection between the two variables with a relationship value of 0.51 while its significance has a value of 0.0000000867. As a result, it is suggested that soft skills communication will have the same impact on students' cognitive development. The findings of this study show that each student's soft skills communication attribute is distinctive, and it can be improved by applying the lessons learned in ways that promote cognitive development, such as providing performance-based, outcomes-based, and other related and appropriate activities that require them to apply what they've learned. Further, based on the findings, it is recommended that this soft skills communication be extended and developed to other English subjects in the higher education curriculum, particularly the syllabus and assessment to use, in order to achieve higher cognition.

Abstract

In learning a foreign language, speaking is an essential component as it is used to deliver the meaning to interact and connect with one another. It is also often seen as an indicator of success in learning a foreign language. However, due to its interactive character, speaking in a foreign language has been identified as the most difficult ability for language learners. The study was an integrative literature review that aimed to unfold the factors that might affect speaking performance of foreign language learners. Due to the rapid pace of research, it is difficult to keep up with state-of-the-art research, so a literature review is necessary. The goal of the study is not to cover all articles ever published on the topic, but rather to combine information and ideas from different fields or past studies. In conducting the review, it will use taxonomy or classification in analyzing the reviewed studies. Approximately 20 studies including those published in research articles, book chapters, books, and other types of publications that concern the factors that may affect speaking performance are being reviewed. The finding suggests that five factors are named as determinants of speaking performance. Those are lack of L2 exposure, inhibition, anxiety, learner autonomy, motivation, and teaching pedagogy. Lack of exposure, inhibition, and anxiety were considered as negative factors of speaking performance, meanwhile a higher degree of learner autonomy and motivation as well as appropriate teaching pedagogies could be beneficial to boost FL learners’ speaking performance.
