Abstract

This paper focuses on the role of empathy, one of the vital traits teachers are expected to possess, in the language acquisition process of Bangladeshi adult learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). It tries to assess if the presence of empathy in teachers’ approach has any significant impact on the pace of EFL acquisition of learners. This also investigates if the effect of empathy and associated emotions—such as sympathy and patience towards the struggle of learners—add positive and substantial speed to the learners’ progress. The study also tries to find out if the absence of a significant amount of empathy or complete absence of empathy slows down the acquisition process. A qualitative research conducted by applying multiple methodologies established the idea that the presence of empathy in teachers positively affects the performance of learners. The results also show that empathy in teachers may not always be very apparent while observing classes, but can be measured by considering the presence of other aspects that are crucial for effective teaching.

Abstract

The main focus of this study is to explore the representation of gender in Cambridge Checkpoint English Coursebook. The negative connotation of women stereotype in English Foreign Language (EFL) textbook potentially affects students’ negative perceptions and misconceptions about gender identity. The findings of previous studies on gender issues in language textbooks mostly indicate that they presented gender biases and stereotypes, but some studies reported positive images of women. To continue a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of EFL textbooks from a feminist perspective, the present study looks at visual and textual discourses representing images of women in EFL textbooks in Cambridge Checkpoint used by one private school in Makassar named Bina Citra Indonesia School. The findings reveal that the textbook represent gender stereotype in many Gender Analysis Pathway (GAP) area such as; gender GAP in culture area especially a stereotype of emotionally expressive woman and the stereotype of woman must be married at certain age, gender GAP in politic area, economic, health area and gender GAP in education area. Some gender discourses expressed by female characters and social actors. The result of research found that the textbooks support the continuation of gender biases and stereotypes. This textual study suggests that as English plays an increasingly important role in a transcultural and post-feminist world, the writers of English textbooks must pay attention to the issue of gender in language education.
