Abstract

From the perspective of positive psychology, academic enjoyment, a positive achievement emotion, positively impacts school outcomes. However, studies have yet to explore the mediating mechanism between academic enjoyment and achievement. This research investigated the direct and indirect effects of academic enjoyment on foreign language (FL) proficiency. Specifically, this study endeavored to test the role of FL enjoyment on FL elaboration strategies and whether FL elaboration strategies, in turn, affects FL proficiency. Data were collected from 505 Chinese secondary school students aged 12 to 15 using convenience sampling. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analyses found that FL elaboration strategies partially mediated the relationship between FL enjoyment and FL proficiency. Implications, shortcomings, and directions for further studies are also discussed.

Abstract

The main aim of the study is to investigate the strategies used by English Second Language (ESL) teachers to cope with their specific teaching challenges in Senior Secondary Schools in Ohangwena Region, Namibia. The study used the phenomenological qualitative research design to collect data from a purposively selected sample of 33 ESL teachers who have taught for at least two years in the Ohangwena Region. Data were collected using focus group discussions and analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The study found that ESL teachers in Ohangwena Region mainly use strategies such as motivating learners, a learner-centered teaching approach, a group work teaching approach, teachers’ teamwork, and different sources of teaching materials to cope with their respective teaching challenges. While the coping strategies teachers use have been reported to be helpful in ESL teaching, there is still a need to build the teachers’ capacity on the good practices in using such strategies to mitigate their teaching challenges.

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of using course books as the sole source for writing assessment tasks in junior high schools without considering students’ diverse learning needs and capabilities. The study aims to identify and describe the assessment tasks employed by teachers to evaluate the writing skills of junior high school students and investigate students’ perceptions of these tasks. A descriptive qualitative method was used, focusing on MTs Hidayatullah Bahaur in Central Kalimantan as the research setting. Two English teachers and ten students of Class VIII from MTs Hidayatullah Bahaur participated in the study. The data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the English teachers primarily used two categories of assessment tasks: imitative writing, encompassing handwriting, spelling, and punctuation tasks, and intensive writing, which involved grammatical transformation, picture cues, vocabulary assessment, ordering, short-answer, and sentence-completion tasks. Furthermore, interviews with student representatives indicated that the overall quality of the assessment tasks was satisfactory. However, students emphasized the importance of teachers actively explaining the task requirements, as understanding the tasks was crucial for successful completion. Consequently, this study highlights the significance of well-designed assessment tasks accompanied by clear explanations to ensure students’ comprehension and accurate task execution.

Abstract

Autonomy, motivation, and learning climate are significant factors in online learning. This study aims to determine the students’ motivation and autonomy in online English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes. It also classifies the Learning Climate Support (LCS). This quantitative study used the Perceived Locus of Causality Scale for academic motivation in university (PLOC-U) and the Learning Climate Questionnaire (LCQ 15). It involved 134 students from nine universities in Java, Indonesia. The results show that most students were on a moderate level in intrinsic motivation (m=5.25), regulated identification (m=5.74), regulated introjection (m=4.85), and external motivation (m=4.95). The mean of motivation loss was at a low level of 2.73. Most students were ‘regulated identification’ learners, which showed that most students were one step closer to being intrinsic or autonomous learners. Furthermore, LCQ indicated moderate acceptance of lecturers’ empathy and engagement in classes but a lower level of students’ assertiveness. The findings suggest that students did not experience demotivation in online learning, and students’ goals highly motivated students in online learning. The perceived LCS implies the need to improve learning instructions in online classes.

Abstract

At present, it is undeniable that the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning English is increasing. AI helps students develop English sentences. This study aims to assist eleventh-grade students’ skills in creating hortatory exposition texts using QuillBot AI. It was Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis, McTaggart, and Nixon paradigm conducted in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings. Each cycle included planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants of this study were students from XI IPA 2A, consisting of 20 students. The data collection technique employed was a test. Before giving treatment, the students did a pre-test in the form of a writing test. Then, the researcher taught the students using Quillbot AI in several meetings. A paired sample t-test was administered using the SPSS version 25 to analyze the obtained data. The findings revealed that using QuillBot AI in the writing class considerably improved students’ writing skills. It was demonstrated by the results of the students’ writing test scores. In the pre-test, the students’ mean score was 53.55. Then, after utilizing QuillBot AI, the students’ mean post-test score was 78.90. In addition, the significance of the difference could also be seen in the acquisition of a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which meant it was smaller than 0.05. Based on the statistics presented, Ho was refused, and Ha was approved, indicating that QuillBot AI’s usage impacted the students’ ability to create hortatory exposition texts.

Abstract

Reading is one of the most essential skills to open up a world of knowledge, comprehension, and amusement. Despite increasing global interest, there has been little research on reading habits and academic performance in Cambodia. This study examines the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ perceptions of reading habits in English academic reading. The study employed a qualitative approach, in which seven participants were selected for interviews using 18 questions to explore their perceptions of reading practices. The findings revealed that the EFL students had positive perceptions of reading habits and self-reported that it helped them improve their English proficiency in general. Furthermore, it also highlighted the importance of reading habits in enhancing students’ English academic reading. However, it is pivotal for educators to provide guidance and support to their students in the process of reading practices to improve their English academic reading achievements. Future researchers are recommended to conduct a study that comprehensively investigates the association between reading habits and academic achievements, employing quantitative and/or mixed methods in multiple schools.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the critical thinking and comprehension of literary texts of high school students in Bandar Lampung. The study was designed in an ex-post de facto setting with critical thinking and academic potential identified through students’ literary text comprehension. Three instruments were used in the study, i.e., an adapted reading, academic potential, and critical thinking assessment, involving tasks on summary, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The study reveals a noteworthy impact of explicit critical thinking training on students’ proficiency in literary text reading, alongside a significant interplay between the students’ critical thinking taxonomy and academic potential. The findings suggest the importance of a model for imparting high-order cognitive abilities, such as inferential, analytical, and synthetic skills, and active learning methods through experimentation that can be integrated into Indonesian high schools’ academic curriculums.
