Abstract

Portrayal of the different types of the Feedback Move (F-Move) in University classrooms By: Dr Golebamang Galegane University of Botswana Centre for Academic Development Communication and Study Sills E-mails: galegane@mopipi.ub.bw                  galeganeg@gmail.com   Abstract The Feedback Move (F-Move) is an important aspect of classroom interaction. The objective of this study is to find out how the different types of the F-Move contribute to the development of classroom talk. The Mixed Method Approach, consisting of Classroom and Systematic Observations were used to find out the different types of the F-Move which were used at University. These were administered to a convenience sample of seven Communication and Study Skills classes. The figures from the quantitative results indicate that various types of the F-Move were used by the lecturers during the classroom interaction.   On the other hand, the outcome from the qualitative results illustrate that there was lecturer dominance of the F-Move during the teaching and learning process. This was shown by the high percentages of the “Accept” and “Comment” types of the foregoing move. The conclusion drawn from this study is that the lecturers take a considerable amount of time summing up the lesson by way of building more on what was said as a form of feedback (lecturer dominance).

Abstract

The present study examined the extent to which poetry writing from an ecological perspective based on nested ecosystems model can create an expressive and creative English language learning environment. Six intermediate level students with average age of 13 and 14 were recruited voluntary and participated in this study. Data were collected via photovoice, interview and students’ poetry. The data were qualitatively content analyzed based on (Bronfenbrenner, the ecology human development, 1979) nested ecosystem model and the emergence of learners’ creativity was categorized first at the level of microsystem. Second, at the level of mesosystem, to analyze students activity photovoice SHOWeD questions (Wang, Yi, Tao & Carvano, 1998) was used. This study showed poetry writing in two nested ecosystem could create an expressive and creative English learning which provide the students with extended learning environment. These two diverse ecosystem levels brought different critical creativity and self expression. The findings contributed as the evidence of the ecological understanding of the pattern and variables involved in poetry writing as s platform for learning and write creatively.

Abstract

This study was to investigate Indonesian English University students’ perception on plagiarism in an online world. This study was a mixed-method with explanatory sequential design. The population and sample in this study were 633 EFL students in a University in North Bali, Indonesia. Two instruments were employed to collect the data, namely a questionnaire and an interview guide which were developed based on three dimensions, namely knowledge about plagiarism, attitudes toward plagiarism, and beliefs to prevent plagiarism. The questionnaire consisted of 14 valid statements while the interview guide consisted of 19 valid questions. The data were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that 62.88% of EFL students reported to have positive and very positive knowledge about plagiarism, 69.87% of EFL students reported to have positive and very positive attitudes toward plagiarism, and 72.27% of EFL students reported to have positive and very positive beliefs to prevent plagiarism. This implies that the EFL students were aware about plagiarism and they tended not to plagiarize on their assignments. However, finding trusted sources and paraphrasing sentences were the students’ most challenges on plagiarism in the online world. Familiarizing with concept, understanding, referencing style and system, like APA, Mendeley, and subscribing to online database, like ERIC or DOAJ are highly suggested.

Abstract

This research studied the English pre-service teachers’ knowledge about linguistics in one of private university in Indonesia. By using the open-ended and close-ended questioners as it is fit with quantitative study, this research attempted to figure out the capacity of the English pre-service teachers in dealing with linguistics theory or understanding that is essential for them in giving full description or portrayal about English linguistics for teaching pupils at school. This research involved 100 respondents within 2 main focuses on micro-linguistics studies; 1) the morphology theory and understanding, 2) the phonology theory and understanding. The result showed there was a fact that English pre-service teachers had limit or paucity of linguistics understanding that can support them with better explanation and knowledge for teaching their future pupils.

Abstract

The English language is one of the compulsory subjects in both primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. In the case of motivation in teaching and/or learning English, there has been an increase on the research on motivation in language teaching, i.e. teachers’ motivation but little attention is given to language teachers’ motivation in higher education institutions (HIEs). This was a pilot case study to gain a better understanding of the HIEs language teachers‘perceptions on the importance and the frequency of usage of the motivational strategies. The method used for data collection was online questionnaire from 17 English language teachers from 4 public universities in Malaysia.  The findings from this pilot study were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and they revealed that they perceived the motivational strategies as important and implemented those strategies in their English classes. Besides that, those who perceived high importance of motivational strategies reported high frequency of implementing strategies as well. It is hoped that this pilot study managed to fulfil the knowledge gap on the lack of information about language teachers’ motivation in HIEs and could be used to promote further research in this area in a larger range of HIEs across Malaysia.

Abstract

Vocabulary holds a significant role in language proficiency. When one’s vocabulary is limited, producing English both in written and oral form will hardly meet fluency. Morphological awareness reflects on greater improvement of both receptive and productive skills as it promotes vocabulary enrichment. Morphological awareness helps learners make sense of novel words as soon as they find the words. Besides, morphological exposure is recommended to begin since the very young age. However, expecting all young learners to equally receive proper education is too much. As a result, many adult learners remain puzzled of how to effectively improve their vocabulary that helps them perform English fluently. Therefore, this study aims to provide a set of lesson plan containing the appropriate teaching techniques that sufficiently facilitate adult learners to raise morphological awareness using derivations. Besides, it is to confirm that making adult learners to be proficient in language learning is possible. This study is a qualitative research employing participant observation in the form of video recording as the data elicitation technique. It is evident from the findings that there are nine techniques that adequately facilitate morphological awareness for adult language learners.

Abstract

Despite the fact that listening is one of the fundamental skills to develop in English language learning, most of the pre-diploma students at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Cawangan Melaka often regard listening as a difficult skill to learn. However, little research has been conducted regarding the listening comprehension problems that they experienced in English class. This paper, thus investigates the pre-diploma students’ insights into English listening difficulties that they encountered in listening comprehension and explored numerous effective listening strategies to improve their English listening abilities. 80 pre-diploma students who took the Pre-Diploma English Language course were selected randomnly for the study. Data collections included 5-point Likert type questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Results suggest that the main problems highlighted by most students are linked to the speed of speech, text length, vocabulary knowledge, and unfamiliar accents.

Abstract

The aim of the current meta-analysis is to throw the light on the emerging trends of studies that describe the obstacles in the implementation of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) between 2013 and 2017. A meta-analysis of 107 articles which were listed on Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC) and Web of Science (WOS) was employed in the present study. Data on the distribution of studies on LMS were investigated according to the year of publication, the most frequent challenges facing English as a foreign language teachers (EFL)  incorporating LMS, research method, design, sample groups, data collecting tools, countries and the number of authors. The results reveal that the highest number of studies (N=40, 37.38%) occurred in 2017 with an upward trend over the five years. The most common obstacle in the implementation of LMS in classrooms was discovered as the lack of teacher training (N=32, 29.91%). Moreover, the most frequently applied research method was the quantitative technique (N=51, 47.66%). The descriptive model (N=32, 29.91%) was found as the most frequent research model. In addition, the most common sample group included undergraduate and graduate students (N=46, 42.99%). The most prominent data collection tool pointed to questionnaires (N=47, 43.93%). According to the results, the most frequent studies took place in China (N=14, 13.08%). There is a growing trend in studies with only one author (N=52, 48.6%). The conclusion states the implications of the current research and recommendations for further research.

Abstract

One of the most important academic skills university students are expected to demonstrate is critical thinking. There is, however, a widespread view that, as a result of their cultural and educational backgrounds, students from east Asia find critical thinking particularly challenging. This paper critically examines this contention. It begins by analysing existing research on three broad themes: (1) cultural attitudes and dispositions towards critical thinking; (2) international comparisons of scores on critical thinking tests; (3) the impact of L1 and L2 use on academic performance. It also presents data from a study conducted by the author comparing the performance of Japanese students on a critical thinking task in their L1 and L2. It finds that, contrary to the accepted wisdom, there is little objective evidence to suggest Asian students are deficient in critical thinking in the broad sense of the term, either in disposition or ability. The lack of critical thinking skills apparently displayed by these students in Western contexts can largely be blamed on the issue of language proficiency. This finding has implications for academic skill courses in both EFL and ESL settings.
