Abstract

For academicians, publishing in international journals means engaging in a border-crossing activity, as they disseminate their research findings globally. People from various countries with different cultures and norms read research papers. However, academic writing is problematic for non-native English-speaking students (NNES), as prospective academics. This review paper aims to identify the challenges that NNES face in writing research article introductions (RAIs), including rhetorical structures, tense choice, tense shift, clausal and phrasal complexity, and the benefits of using translanguaging techniques in academic writing classes. Thematic analysis was employed in this library study. The research procedure involves selecting relevant research articles on the topic, reading each article, taking notes on the key findings, integrating and discussing the findings from the reviewed articles, and designing translanguaging techniques to teach academic writing to NNES. The article review reveals that NNES face challenges in writing complete rhetorical structures, particularly in tense choice and tense shift, because in academic writing, tense usage is not only governed by time but also by the rhetorical concept. It also reveals that translanguaging techniques facilitate the students’ awareness of the native language and target language academic writing rules and conventions. Translanguaging techniques enhance students’ analysis skills, critical reading, and critical thinking.

Abstract

This paper analyzes pre-service teachers’ critical incidents as reflected in their e-portfolios during their teaching simulation in the microteaching course. Three cycles of teaching practice were scheduled for each student-teacher. Thirty-six student-teacher critical incidents and e-portfolios were analyzed. Data were collected mainly from their e-portfolios containing their critical incidents. In addition, observations and focus group discussions were conducted to triangulate and confirm the students’ critical incidents. Results showed that of the total 130 critical incidents, 60 occurred in their first, 38 in their second, and 34 in their third teaching cycle. It indicates that the pre-service teachers struggle more at the beginning of their teaching practicum, go through the learning process, and develop their understanding of teaching. In addition, the student-teachers are empowered by obtaining the ability to sense the theoretical and practical gaps in teaching, indicate teaching problems and complexity, become aware of the challenging classroom management issues, and future professional development. This study highlights the importance of reflective practices such as critical incident analyses to be induced in teacher training programs. Through critical incident identification, pre-service teachers are trained to develop their reflection-on-action skills, pedagogical awareness, and choices and sharpen their sense of teaching problems, particularly when encountering theory-practice gaps.

Abstract

Learning ecology is considered a practical part of language learning, particularly speaking skills. In applicable terms, understanding ecological perspectives assists students in practicing speaking and other language skills better. Given the significance of learning ecology, this study investigates EFL instructors' perspectives on learning ecology to boost students' speaking skills using a microsystem viewpoint of Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model. The study stresses the gap in understanding the pivotal role of teachers' learning ecology perspectives in improving students' English-speaking skills. This study applied a qualitative research methodology with a phenomenological design to study teachers' perceptions of learning ecology. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with EFL Instructors in Indonesia with a triangulation of data sources to ensure validity and reliability. For data analysis, thematic analysis was used to search for reoccurring themes. The findings revealed that EFL instructors in Indonesia perceive learning ecology as highly influential for speaking skills. To take maximum advantage of it, instructors in Indonesia apply strategies like interactive learning and sufficient exposure. However, they also shed light on challenges in terms of the unavailability of native speakers. Their reflection on the microsystem proposed bringing EFL speaking to a more practical context. The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of how teachers may construct a learning environment that fosters the development of ESL learners' speaking skills, influenced by Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model’s microsystem layer.

Abstract

Writing research articles in English is a challenging task for non-native speakers of English, as it requires linguistic competence, rhetorical awareness, disciplinary knowledge, and familiarity with the research writing conventions. The qualitative study explores English non-native speakers' challenges while writing research articles (RAs) in English. The participants were 12 university-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers selected using snowball sampling. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings revealed four challenges: linguistic, rhetorical, disciplinary, and cultural. Linguistic challenges affect the clarity and credibility of the writing. In contrast, rhetorical challenges involve following the conventions, arguments, and citations of RAs in English. Disciplinary challenges require adapting to the norms and practices of different fields of study, and cultural challenges reflect the preferences for directness, formality, and objectivity in writing. The study shows the complexity and interrelatedness of these challenges and suggests a flexible and nuanced approach to overcome them.

Abstract

Empirical studies revealed the EFL students’ writing problems, such as incomplete paragraph development and conjugation accuracy. These problems affected the overall text coherence.  These problems have inspired teacher researchers to investigate alternative instructional techniques to improve the flow of ideas and conjugation accuracy of EFL students' paragraphs. This current research aims to investigate mood and paragraph structure analysis effectiveness to develop the conjugation accuracy and flow of ideas fluency in EFL students' paragraphs. This study followed an experimental design utilizing control and experimental groups. The research subjects comprised 30 2nd-year undergraduate EFL learners who were at an intermediate level of English proficiency. Data for this research were collected using multiple methods, including tests, documentation, and interviews. The research results revealed that mood analysis and paragraph-structure analysis were effective techniques for improving the conjugation accuracy and idea flow fluency of EFL students' writing. Thus, it is recommended that mood and paragraph structure analyses be alternative techniques to teach paragraph writing.

Abstract

Learners must construct a learning identity to succeed when learning English. This current study attempted to discuss English language learners’ (ELLs) insights on language learning identity construction. A survey study collected quantitative data from 219 ELLs in several Indonesian universities. Questionnaires were distributed and completed via online mode (i.e., Google Forms), and a two-week due time was assigned for each participant. As for results, various insights emerged as the ELLs recognized their identity construction. They have identity aspects such as linguistics, belongingness, expectation, attitude, and agency. Each aspect helped to form ELLs’ identity construction in many ways, including learning competence, socio-cultural awareness, educational component, and psychological conviction. Identity construction is not complicated to achieve as long as ELLs have strong learning commitment. In addition, it is implied that this study is paramount to empower pedagogical strategies, educational policies, and academic performance.

Abstract

Multimodality has gained burgeoning attention among scholars from miscellaneous disciplines, such as Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Semiotics, Sociology, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, and Language Pedagogy. Nevertheless, little is known about the issue of what teaching materials students need to develop their multimodal literacy, notably in the Indonesian EFL milieu. Hence, this case study addresses this void by examining what type of teaching materials university undergraduate students need to cultivate their multimodal literacy. This study involved 99 undergraduate students from three diverse classes as the participants. The data were garnered through a qualitative survey and semi-structured interviews. They were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The findings outlined the needed multimodal teaching materials by the students encompass praxis-oriented multimodal teaching materials, awareness-raising multimodal teaching materials, academic and professional orientation of multimodal teaching materials, simplified and understandable multimodal teaching materials, critical multimodal teaching materials, and visual-verbal relation-informed teaching materials.  The shifting needs of communication, literacy, and 21st-century learning skills remain crucial as a nexus between literacy policies and practices in higher education contexts, especially in Indonesia. More importantly, this study attempts to promote the magnitude of multimodal literacy in language education.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the concerns of Vietnamese tertiary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their classrooms. As educational landscapes evolve with technological advancements, understanding educators’ perspectives on AI becomes crucial, especially in settings where technological integration is still emerging. The study involved semi-structured interviews with nine EFL teachers from two Vietnamese institutions, categorized into three career stages: novice, mid-career, and near-end career. This approach provided insights into the varying perceptions and challenges experienced by teachers at different professional phases. The findings revealed four main themes: “Technological Integration Challenges in EFL Classrooms,” highlighting the difficulties in incorporating AI tools into teaching practices; “Pedagogical Concerns and AI’s Impact on Teacher-Student Interaction,” expressing worries about how AI might alter traditional educational dynamics; “Professional Development and Readiness for AI Integration,” emphasizing the need for targeted training; and “Concerns about AI’s Impact on Student Learning Outcomes,” focusing on the effectiveness of AI in enhancing student achievement. These themes suggest a need for comprehensive professional development in AI, careful implementation that considers the human element in education, and adaptable strategies for AI integration across different career stages. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in education, highlighting specific challenges and needs in the Vietnamese tertiary EFL context.

Abstract

English is a critical subject at every stage of the Nigerian educational system, so it is imperative to guarantee success that corresponds with the substantial resources and time invested in teaching and studying. This research looked at the influence of teachers' attributes on using resources to teach English grammar in English by adopting a descriptive survey research design. All English language instructors employed in public and private secondary schools in Ilorin were the subject of this investigation. This study’s sample comprised 268 English language instructors. A questionnaire created by the researchers was utilized. The data gathered was subjected to reliability assessment using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). There was a 0.81 correlation coefficient. Mean and percentage were chosen to respond to the study questions posed. The One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the independent t-test were used to evaluate the generated hypotheses at the 0.05 significant level. The results show that the most regularly utilized resources for teaching English grammar were print materials and textbooks, audiovisual aids, models and manipulatives, and digital technologies. It was recommended that curriculum designers continue to promote more realistically oriented materials, as this will help to engage students more and support the efforts of teachers.
