Abstract

Critical thinking is very important in the area of education, because it is an essential tool for solving problems and making good decisions. Through applying critical thinking in learning, students can become creative in discovering the best method of learning and organizing their work. Therefore, critical thinking is not an educational choice and all learners should be taught to think critically. The primary objective of this paper is to study whether teaching experience played a role in teachers’ level of use of critical thinking. The quantitative method was used. The respondents of the study were Moroccan English high school teachers. A questionnaire was used to collect data from teachers. Both the online version and the paper-based version of the questionnaire were used to gather data from the participants.  A total of 423 questionnaire were collected from the respondents. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 was used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that teaching experience significantly impacts teachers’ level of use of critical thinking.

Abstract

The superior image of native English teachers portrayed in ELT professionalism has been heavily criticized among scholars by raising awareness on the expertise than nativeness or races. However, the study is scarce regarding how online discourse such as web-based advertisement of English language courses rhetorically depicts their language instructors: a native speaker and local teachers. To fill this gap, the purposes of this study are to examine the attributes of language instructors and any potential discriminatory or privileged presentation evoke in the online ads. The initial analysis was done within twenty English course sites to view overall trends of English instructors' attributes in several websites in Indonesia. I then closely explored two websites, WSE and TBI, and how they textually and visually privilege and discriminate the competences of native English teachers or local teachers. The result shows the dominant rhetoric of native English teachers as English language experts. The findings of this study reveal that despite the scholarly effort to challenge native English speaker/teacher orientation, the educational institutions still perpetuate the hegemony of native speakers as the ideal model in English within online platforms.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effects of discourse modes on assessing EFL learners written performances. A total of fifty raters judged sixty essays (30 narratives and 30 argumentative writing modes) written by third-year English students from the Faculty of Letters and Humanities. Raters not only scored the compositions but also justified their scores assignments based on written explanations. Raters rating behaviors were diagnosed based on a variety of quantitative and qualitative tools. Essay scores were analyzed based on the statistical model FACETS to measure raters severity and internal consistency, task difficulty, and the scale functioning across writing modes. Qualitative data (gathered from interviews and report forms) were also analyzed in order to examine which aspects of writing were deemed more important than others across task types. The analysis revealed that the discourse mode was substantially an influential factor. The narrative task was more difficult than the argumentative one. Narrative essays were judged harsher than argumentative essays. Less consistent ratings could be detected from the narrative mode, compared to the argumentative one. Qualitative findings showed that the two writing modes were different in their qualitative judgments due to their different genre requirements and norms.
