Abstract

This study sought to establish whether students who are exposed to Controlled Extensive Reading Tasks (CERTs) will have higher learning outcomes during English as a Second Language (ESL) lessons. A 3-month intervention pilot of Controlled Extensive Reading (CER) instruction, was implemented in two secondary schools in Kakamega County, Western Kenya, from February to May 2023. We compared the impacts of the CERTs treatment group in ESL lessons in the pilot school with those of the control group that did not use the intervention but utilized the same instructional components. The findings revealed that assignment to the CERTs pilot group had additional improvement in the target language skills while the control group had somewhat constant learning outcomes. The study is useful to curriculum stakeholders who should consider such results alongside existing implementation strategies in ESL policies and program designs.

Abstract

The main problem faced by graduate and undergraduate students in writing their university application letters includes the difficulties of producing a coherent and cohesive text that can convince the evaluators of their suitability to the target program. The present study was conducted principally to investigate the thematic progression patterns realized in students’ statements (henceforth PSs), for their considerable role in shaping the overall structure of the text and unfolding the writer’s identity. The corpus consists of 20 PSs written by graduate English students applying for a Master's in Sociology in Western institutions. Eggin’s (2004) framework of Theme and Rheme was applied to analyze the thematic progression patterns (TPP) observed and find out the dominant pattern revealed from the students’ texts. The findings of the analysis indicated the presence of two main thematic progression patterns, namely the Reiteration pattern and Zigzag pattern, with the total absence of the Multiple theme pattern. The obtained results of this work may offer valuable insights for academic writing instructions and material developers.

Abstract

Pragmatics is a linguistic field that explores the complex relationship between language, context, and meaning. It involves analyzing how speakers and writers use language to convey not only literal information, but also social, cultural, and emotional cues that shape communication. Pragmatics examines how language users interpret and infer meaning based on contextual factors such as tone, gesture, and social norms, and how they use language to achieve various goals and outcomes. By uncovering the hidden meanings and intentions behind language use, pragmatics provides valuable insights into human communication and helps us to better understand how language shapes our social interactions and relationships Furthermore, pragmatics plays a crucial role in language learning and teaching, as it helps learners develop their communicative competence and understand the nuances of language use in different contexts. It also has practical applications in fields such as advertising, politics, and law, where the use of language can have significant impacts on audience perceptions and behaviors. Overall, pragmatics is a dynamic and multifaceted field that continues to evolve and shape our understanding of language and communication in diverse contexts.

Abstract

Most ecolinguistic analysis is conducted with texts produced for the general public. This article explores the use of ecolinguistics in the education of young people. The analysis focuses on young people’s media, specifically focusing on films. Two children’s movies (The Lorax and Back to the Outback) are analyzed using the ecolinguistic concept of stories we live by and the ecojustice concept of intersectionality. This analysis is undertaken to explicate these concepts in the hope that others will employ these same concepts to analyze other texts. These example analyses are explained about classroom practice and generating “noticing” as a learning outcome. Finally, five further techniques for involving students and others in ecolinguistic and ecojustice analysis are described. This article gives important insight into practical tools that can benefit teachers and students in the classroom. Additionally, children’s films and other media developed for children and youths may also be useful for the enjoyment and education of adults.

Abstract

This study focuses on non-certified English teachers using Information and Communication Technology (UICT) in the teaching practice with the framework is technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). The purpose is to elaborate on the interrelationship between all TPACK components and their roles in predicting UICT based on the beliefs of the teachers during teaching practice. The researchers used a mixed-methods design for 20 participants from SMP IT Nur Syamzam Kolaka. Questionnaire and interview, especially semi-structured interviews as an instrument for this study. To collect the data, the researcher did online with the non-certified English teachers at SMP IT Nur Syamzam Kolaka. Using Pearson's correlation coefficient, the relationship between the application of TPACK and the availability of ICT tools was determined by correlating the overall TPACK result with the adequacy of ICT tools. Therefore, the findings of the study that were obtained through the TPACK survey demonstrate how they effectively apply their knowledge. The teachers demonstrate expert knowledge in all TPACK domains. They demonstrate the highest level of knowledge based on the mean of TK (4.28), followed by CK (4.26). While all areas of TPACK have a mean of 4.10, PCK and TPK have the lowest mean (4.11).

Abstract

Students' reading motivation is likely low due to internal and external factors. The internal factors, for example, are intelligence, age, gender, reading ability, attitudes, and psychological needs. The external factors include the theme, level of reading difficulty, and the type of reading. This research was conducted to know whether the use of Content Differentiated Instructions (CoDI) in teaching could affect students' motivation in reading, especially descriptive text. This kind of text was chosen because it is the simplest text among five other kinds of text that are given to beginner-level students, in this case, students of junior high school. The researcher tried to find out whether the implementation of CoDI could affect the students’ motivation in reading.  In this study, the researcher used a qualitative method.  The data used were in the form of answers or student responses in the form of questionnaires. The result was that using CoDI affects the students’ motivation in reading descriptive text.

Abstract

In learning a second or foreign language, students commonly read for pleasure, which is called extensive reading (ER). Extensive reading is commonly related to increasing vocabulary knowledge and reading skills; however, extensive reading can also expand learners’ grammatical knowledge Based on the study of Khansir and Dehghani (2015), it was found that ER has improved their Iranian participants’ English grammar (as stated in Ng, Renandya, Chong, 2019, p. 180-181). Referring to the positive outcome of their study, this study aims to investigate Indonesian university students’ perceptions of the benefits of ER activities on their English grammar knowledge and also their attitudes after experiencing ER activities in Grammar class. The research participants were 30 Indonesian university students who attended Grammar classes at a private university in West Java. The instruments used were an online questionnaire which was distributed at the end of the semester and the students’ weekly ER log. The questionnaire result was counted manually before they were classified into certain categories, whereas content analysis was used to select and analyze the data from the learning log. The findings show both positive and negative outcomes regarding the students’ grammar knowledge and attitudes.

Abstract

Due to the importance of assessing students’ learning, teachers have to allocate specific time for assessment during the teaching-learning process. For the sake of implementing effective assessment, adequate knowledge and skills of teachers in assessment are badly needed. However, there is an important question related to teachers’ knowledge and skills in assessment, “Do EFL teachers have a good understanding of effective assessment for their students?” This study tried to answer such curiosity by conducting a survey assessment literacy of EFL teachers. The EFL teachers involved in this study were English teachers at several secondary schools in an Indonesian context and the information on their assessment literacy was obtained through a set of Assessment Literacy Inventory (ALI). It was found from this study that the EFL teachers’ assessment literacy was relatively low, indicating their limited knowledge and skills in assessment. Consequently, more continuous and ongoing training, workshop and other teacher professional development are essential to improve the EFL teachers’ assessment literacy.
