Abstract:
Psycholinguistics has provided numerous theories that explain how a person acquires a language, produces and perceives both spoken and written language. The theories have been used in the field of language teaching. Some experts use them as the basic theories in developing language teaching methods. It is known as psycholinguistics approach. Psycholinguistic approach views learning as a cognitive individual process happening within the individual and then moves to the social dimension. As an approach, there are some methods which were developed based on psycholinguistics theories such as natural method, total physical response method, and suggestopedia method. These methods apply psycholinguistic principles that how a person acquires his/her mother tongue or first language (First Language Acquisition), learns his/her second or third language (Second Language Learning), perceives a language (Language Perception), and produces language (Language Production). Language perception refers to listening and reading, while the language production refers to speaking and writing. Listening, reading, speaking and writing are called as the four of language skills. Specifically, psycholinguistics helps to understand the difficulties of these four skills both intrinsic difficulties and extrinsic difficulties. Psycholinguistics also helps to explain the errors students do in the language learning. Moreover psycholinguistics also defines some kinds of brain disorders that affect language learning performance such as agraphia and aphasia which must be treated properly. Psycholinguistics mainly helps teachers to consider the use of appropriate method to teach that four language skill.

Abstract:
The failure of the method notion in second language teaching has been attributed to a series of valid pedagogical and socioeducational factors. The concept of neurological bimodality, which posits that effective language learning in a classroom environment requires the utilization of the perceptual modalities associated with each cerebral hemisphere, offers a more fundamental, neurologically related diagnosis of this failure. This paper looks at the historiography of language teaching theories from the perspective of bimodality, and then concludes with specific suggestions vis-à-vis the kinds of research directions that might empirically substantiate the usefulness of this concept for second language acquisition in a classroom environment.

Abstract:
This paper suggests a new model to teach language skills. The aim of this model is to integrate the three most influential theories in the process of language teaching and learning which are behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism. This model explains how these three theories are integrated with each other in the process of language teaching and learning to complete each other taking into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of each theory. This model is mainly used for teaching language skills which are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Reviewing previous literature, it is clear that there is no integrated model that has tried to link these theories although there are suggestions from scholars to integrate them in a single model because there is no theory that can describe the whole process of learning without the interference of the other theories. This model suggests that teaching any skill can be divided into two phases. The first one is introducing the skill theoretically and the second one is practice. The first phase requires constructivism in order to build the students’ knowledge concerning the skill, and the second one is practice which depends on behaviorism through providing different drills to students. Cognitivism is the link between constructivism and behaviorism. Thus, creating knowledge is the core of constructivism but it is mentally driven as it requires cognitive processes. Also, behaviorism focuses on practice and it did not account for the cognitive processes which are essential especially because practice is associated with the mental activation of all the linguistic knowledge. Therefore, the paper discusses the three theories and the rational for the new model as well as the process of teaching following the suggested model.

Abstract:
The article deals with language courses offered by private language schools in Slovenia. It examines who the people in charge of the language schools are, what criteria new teachers have to meet to become an employee of a school, whether the methodology applied (if any) has been carefully chosen, what the teaching techniques are and who chooses them.Second language method discoveries have been subjected to perennial criticism and scepticism over the last half of century. Teachers around the globe have been confused by the constant shifts in the popularity of different methods. The article examines the con sequences of the abovementioned circumstances.The 15 interviews conducted with private language schools’ managers have generated valuable information on the level of professionalism in this area of business.The results have shown that most of the randomly chosen schools are managed by language professionals or by economists who employ a linguist for controlling the teaching and learning processes and that the majority of schools does adopt a particular approach or method of teaching. Teacher trainees receive a lot of support and guidance prior to teaching in a school. In most cases, teachers are free to choose techniques of teaching according to their preferences, providing the techniques are not in conflict with the general schools’ principles. The criteria for employment vary considerably. Nearly all managers would employ a professional language teacher with experience only, but others demand that the teacher be a native speaker regardless of his/her education. Several stress the importance of personal characteristics and would consider employing only lighthearted and energetic teachers. Teachers’ work and students’ progress are often evaluated.

Abstract:
Success in language teaching and learning is a multidisciplinary process in which language testing is an important pillar of success beside the other surrounding factors which range from the teaching learning context to the learners and teachers’ personal and educational factors. The aim of the present study is to identify to what extent there is a harmony between the teaching learning context on one hand and the theories and techniques of language testing on the other, and whether there is a matching between these theories of language testing and the practicality of these theories. We believe that there is a great mismatch between theories and practice of language testing as a result of the practices and the necessary expertise and knowledge needed in testing. This situation affects, to a great extent, the experience of language teaching learning process. This paper is a qualitative historical survey on language teaching learning context and theories of testing and language testing in particular. To process the study some related studies and literature will be explored, and some instances of language testing will be used to support this theoretical framework and to confirm our hypothesis that there is a gap between what is taught and what is examined. The study will include its importance, the methodological procedures that will be followed to attain the findings, recommendations and suggestions for future studies to let discussion in this area furthered in the future.

Abstract:
In this review article on identity, language learning, and social change, we argue that contemporary poststructuralist theories of language, identity, and power offer new perspectives on language learning and teaching, and have been of considerable interest in our field. We first review poststructuralist theories of language, subjectivity, and positioning and explain sociocultural theories of language learning. We then discuss constructs ofinvestmentandimagined communities/imagined identities(Norton Peirce 1995; Norton 1997, 2000, 2001), showing how these have been used by diverse identity researchers. Illustrative examples of studies that investigate how identity categories like race, gender, and sexuality interact with language learning are discussed. Common qualitative research methods used in studies of identity and language learning are presented, and we review the research on identity and language teaching in different regions of the world. We examine how digital technologies may be affecting language learners' identities, and how learner resistance impacts language learning. Recent critiques of research on identity and language learning are explored, and we consider directions for research in an era of increasing globalization. We anticipate that the identities and investments of language learners, as well as their teachers, will continue to generate exciting and innovative research in the future.

Abstract:
The field of psycholinguistics has produced many hypotheses which explain how a person speaks and understands the language spoken or written. In the area of language, instruction theories have been employed. In designing language education approaches, several professionals adopt them as their fundamental theories. It is called a method of psycholinguistics. The psycholinguistic method considers learning as an individual cognitive process that takes place within the individual and then moves to the social dimension. There are various ways, such as natural method, whole physical response methods, and suggested contemporary method, which are founded on the theory of the psycholinguist. These methods utilise psychological concepts, such as learning your first or second language (second language learning), learning a language (linguistic perception), and language (second language learning). The perception of languages refers to hearing and reading, while the creation of languages refers to speaking and writing. The four language skills are listening, reading, speaking, and writing. In particular, psycholinguistics helps comprehend the difficulty of intrinsic and extrinsic problems in these four skills. Psycholinguistics also contributes to explaining the language learning faults of students. In addition, psycholinguistics describes certain types of cerebral illnesses, such as graphics and aphasia, which must be treated appropriately, that influence language development. The use of the suitable approach for teaching these four linguistics teaches mainly psycholinguistic skills.

This review of work on the cultural dimension of language teaching updates one from 1986 and shows that there has been a considerable growth in interest since then. The focus has been largely on the elaboration of conceptual models and theories and the development of teaching and training approaches; much less effort has been devoted to empirical research investigating the impact of such developments and building up a body of knowledge.

Abstract:
Second language acquisition (SLA) is a relatively new field of enquiry. Before the late 1960s, educators did write about L2 learning, but very much as an adjunct of language teaching pedagogy, underpinned by behaviourism, the then-dominant learning theory in psychology. In this view, the task facing learners of foreign languages was to rote-learn and practise the grammatical patterns and vocabulary of the language to be learnt, in order to form new ‘habits’, that is to create new stimulus–response pairings which would become stronger with reinforcement. In order for the ‘old habits’ of the L1 not to interfere with this process by being ‘copied’, or transferred, into the L2, researchers embarked on thorough descriptions of pairs of languages to be learnt, in order to identify areas that are different and would thus be difficult.

Full text
Abstract:
The following thesis is an attempt to explore the relationship between translating and language learning. Chapter one is an attempt to relate the theory of Translating with that of Second Language Teaching. In the second chapter a review will be given of the history of translating within language teaching methodology, particularly noting the reasons why translating as a language teaching activity fell into disfavour. It will isolate and evaluate the criticisms which have been levelled at translating as a pedagogical device. Chapter three will look at the notion of Communicative Competence and this will include an investigation of the pragmatic and strategic dimension to language teaching. This will lead to a discussion of translating within the framework of developments along this dimension. The argument will centre around the point that within a discourse framework translating as a teaching method is much more relevant and that the criticisms and arguments against it discussed in chapter two therefore no longer apply. In chapter four the relationship between Translating Strategies and Interlanguage Strategies will be examined. This chapter will look at and compare the kind of processes at work within pidgins and creoles and first and second language acquisition with those used in Translating. Chapter five will follow on from the previous chapter with an empirical study of translating strategies and will test the hypothesis that translators and language users make use of similar strategies; and will include a description of data collection, a statistical study and conclusions. In chapter six the relationship between translating and communicative methodology will be examined. I will look particularly at how translating relates to questions of syllabus design and the polarities of accuracy and fluency Chapter seven will contain specific proposals for pedagogy looking at particular areas within linguistic, pragmatic and strategic competence. This chapter will include materials which have been piloted both with Arab learners of English and English learners of Arabic. Chapter eight concludes the thesis arguing that translating does have a vital role to play within a broader communicative approach to language teaching and looks at a number of potential areas for further research.

Abstract:
This essay discusses if teaching English literature in high school classes, in accordance with the socio-cultural learning theory, can be considered to promote language learning substantially better than teaching English literature in accordance with the transmission theory. This essay also investigates and compares how well teaching English literature, in accordance with each of these two learning theories, fulfills stipulations in the Swedish National Curriculum for high school courses English 5, 6 and 7. In order to show differences between the socio-cultural learning theory and the transmission theory there are presentations and discussions of different teaching strategies and learning tasks/exercises in accordance with each of these two learning theories. The base for argumentation in this essay is constituted by analytical and theoretical studies of teaching English literature in accordance with the socio-cultural learning theory and in accordance with the transmission theory. There are also theoretical studies of the Swedish National Curriculum (of high school courses English 5, 6 and 7) and previous empirical research and studies (which include teaching and/or language learning and the socio-cultural learning theory). This essay also includes a presentation and discussion of advantages and disadvantages for each learning theory.

Abstract:
Grammatikundervisningen i engelskämnet i den svenska grundskolans årskurs 4–6 har uppmärksammats som ett område där det finns ett behov av vidare forskning. Denna studie ska därför försöka öka kunskapen kring vilka undervisningsstrategier och lärandeteorier som några engelsklärare tar ställning till i sin undervisning. Fokus ligger på grammatik inom ämnet engelska, men även relationen till det svenska språket uppmärksammas. Studien har utgått från en sociokulturell teori då det är ett utvecklande gemensamt lärande som studiens resultat kommer att presentera. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utgör grunden för den empiriska undersökningen som därmed baseras på en kvalitativ metod. Deltagarna är eller har varit verksamma mellanstadielärare i olika kommuner runt om i Sverige. Resultatet och slutsatsen av den empiriska undersökningen uppvisade att lärarna i studien tar hänsyn till olika undervisningsstrategier för att utforma sin grammatikundervisning i engelska. Bland annat använder de läroböcker, digitala verktyg samt olika repetitionsuppgifter. Det framkom även att flera av lärarna utgick från beprövade erfarenheter vid sina grammatiklektioner och genom lärarnas utsagor framkom det att den sociokulturella teorin låg som grund till undervisningen. Det svenska språket har utifrån intervjuerna visat sig inte ha en betydande roll i det engelska klassrummet förutom vid grammatikgenomgångar i engelska. Slutligen visade resultatet att elevernas kunskaper mäts genom framför allt muntliga och skriftliga uppgifter som inte utgörs av grammatikprov.
Grammar teaching in the English subject in the Swedish primary school years 4-6 has attracted attention as an under-researched area. This study will therefore try to increase knowledge about the teaching strategies and learning theories that some English teachers use in their teaching. The focus is on grammar in English but the relation to the use of the Swedish language has also been noticed. The study is based on sociocultural theory as the results from the study foreground the importance of collaborative learning. Semi-structured interviews form the basis for the empirical study, which means that it is based on a qualitative methodological point of view. The participants are, or have been, active primary school teachers in years 4-6 from different municipalities in Sweden. The results and the conclusion of the empirical study show that the teachers in the study consider different teaching strategies to design their grammar teaching in the English subject. Among other things, they use textbooks, digital tools, and various repetition assignments. It is also apparent that several of the teachers base their grammar lessons on best practice, and through the teachers’ statements it can be seen that the sociocultural theory is the foundation for their teaching. Based on the interviews, the Swedish language has not been shown to play a significant role in the English classroom except when going through grammatical issues in English. Lastly, the study shows that students' knowledge is primarily measured through oral and written assignments that are not grammar tests.

After many years of hard study and careful research, we can state that focusing on the teaching area is not the key to achieve a good proficiency when learning a foreign language. This idea is based on the fact that, even though there have been many attempts to develop a good method for teaching languages through many decades, none of them has proved to be accepted by the whole language teaching community. Since our work was originally planned to encompass teaching and learning, from our point of view the process of learning is undoubtedly the most important thing. Consequently it must be studied in depth.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I describe how interactive journal writing was used to improve the understanding of mathematics, and to foster communication with two groups of remedial grade ten students. Mathematics is a gatekeeper course in high school, and students who are not successful with this subject are at a distinct disadvantage, both in terms of their education and in their future careers. A persistent source of difficulty for these students is related to language; students often struggle both to understand what is being taught, and how to explain concepts or problem solutions in their own words. Interactive journal writing was initiated as a means of addressing this situation, and of meeting the objectives proposed by the Quebec Education Plan, which specifies three closely related competencies: (1) solve situational problems; (2) use mathematical reasoning; (3) and communicate by using mathematical language. There is ample proof in the research literature that communication plays an important role in supporting learners by helping them clarify, refine and consolidate their thinking.
This study demonstrates the importance of allowing and encouraging students to use writing as part of their learning processes. By writing about what they are being taught, students are forced to slow down, examine and reflect on the steps they use to solve problems. Sharing what they write promotes meaningful dialogue and personal engagement, essential ingredients of successful learning.

Abstract:
Comprehensive Business English course is a comprehensive language practice skills course, which integrates English language knowledge, communication ability, cultural background knowledge and business knowledge. By imitating English materials in different kinds of business and cultural scenes, students can get familiar with English expression habits, cultivate English critical thinking and master fundamental English oral expression ability; by learning different subjects, students' vocabulary and discourse reading comprehension ability are to be enhanced and the basic discourse expression ability and a good foundation for the third and fourth grade English learning are to be improved. Our university, Shandong Institute of Business and Technology, is a university of finance and economics with the striking characteristic of wealth management. We have the integration and development of students’ business English. Comprehensive business English is a compulsory course for the first and second year of business English majors, with small classes about 30 students in each. The courses for English majors are all business-related, most of them aim to work in business-related fields or study for master degree domestically or overseas after graduation. Business-English teaching aims to cultivate students with strengthened basic English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation skills, relevant theories and knowledge of linguistics, economics, management and other studies, business operation mode and norms, good moral cultivation, social adaptability and innovation ability, and finally and most possibly the Applied Business English professionals. This paper, designed on the study and introduction of the present ideological and political theories teaching of Comprehensive Business English, is to discuss about the application of ideological and political teaching in the very basic course for Business English majors. By finding the ideological and political teaching topics and resources, it is to discover the proper, positive and critical means of applying theories in practice.

Abstract:
Exploring the shift in meanings of translating the preposition “on” from English to Vietnamese, the study, besides analyzing the cases of the changes in meanings of the preposition, aims at explaining the cases where the preposition “on” is not translated as “trên” and its Vietnamese equivalents under the cognitive semantics approach. The methods of analysis and synthesis of theories from the available data on the preposition “on” as well as the methods of classifying and systematizing prepositions are applied to English-Vietnamese translation. From the collected data, this study reveals the cases of the shift in meanings of “on” and the characteristics of multiple meanings of the preposition under the cognitive semantics approach. In the course of translation, contextual meanings are used in order to convey the meanings appropriately in the Vietnamese style. The research paper can make some contribution to the teaching of translation and make it a reference material for English learners.

Abstract:
"There is considerable agreement that learning to teach African Languages (AL) is optimized when coursework learning is combined with quality practice learning experiences in schools. The importance of role of (AL) in teacher education programmes and in children's learning is of paramount importance. This study focuses on the use of the African Language (AL) as the language of learning and teaching (LoLT) and its impact on the language development of (AL) student teachers and AL learners. The main aim of this study was to explore the views of a group of student teachers on their practice learning experiences in a ‘teaching school’ (TS). Against the background of major theories in Home Language (HL) teaching and learning, this topic is contextualized within the South African education system. Through qualitative analysis of a dozen semi-structured interviews, this study identifies the issues that limit the ability of African Language Education (ALE) programmes to prepare student- teachers for teaching in South Africa. Based on the findings, a questionnaire was designed to determine the extent of the impact of student teachers’ limited on African Language Proficiency (ALP). A comparison of teacher and learner written errors was made. The findings of the questionnaire responses are presented. Recommendations are made on how student teachers can improve their teaching approaches to ensure quality AL teacher input and AL learner performance. Qualitative questionnaires and (focus group) data were collected, involving all the student teachers in the programme. The responses to the questionnaire were analysed descriptively. The study was conducted at an urban campus of a South African university."

Abstract:
This article takes a look into the profile of students enrolled at elective foreign language (FL) courses at German universities. Two surveys on their study biography show that learners of Chinese have on average learned more previous foreign languages than learners of Spanish. As more experienced FL learners, they draw on more FL learning strategies and more sources for transfer, a psycholinguistic process observed in FL learning. Based on contrastive theories, possible sources for transfer into and out of Chinese are suggested to contribute to the successful teaching of Chinese.

Anspoka, Zenta. "Some Aspects of Teaching Latvian Grammar at School." In 80th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. University of Latvia Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.22364/htqe.2022.59.

Full text
Abstract:
The Latvian language as a subject has been a taught language since the 1st grade till 12th grade in both minority schools and schools, where the Latvian language is the language of instruction. In recent years the country has also been implementing the education reform within the framework of which the content and its acquisition methodology has been improved, but the students’ level of the Latvian language as state language skills is declining in various aspects. The topicality of the problem to be researched stems from the results obtained by analyzing the scientific research implemented in the country (2007–2021) and other research on language competence of basic and secondary education students. The aim of the research is to analyze the content and methodology of grammar teaching in basic school and in secondary school for students’ language competence. The methodology of the study is based on linguistics, linguistic didactics, cognitivism and sociocultural theories. The empirical data have been obtained by analyzing the Latvian language learning process and the quality of the essays (content analysis of 409 essays of the 12th grade secondary school students in School Year 2018/2019 according to the previously developed criteria based on theories). The results of the research show that students learn the grammar rules mainly formally, without linking them to a specific communicative purpose. More attention should be paid to students’ work with authentic texts, pupils’ own texts as well as study texts used for the acquisition of the content of other subjects. In the didactics of the Latvian language more attention should be paid to the students’ sense of language as the ability to perceive, emotionally recognize and evaluate the use of language. The significance of the results lies in the aspect that they reveal the real situation and enable us to develop recommendations for the improvement of the Latvian language learning process.

Abstract:
In this new era of mobile internet, in the face of the demanding task of educating students and helping them to have correct values, so that they can understand socialism with Chinese characteristics better and be willing to make contributions to our Chinese dream of national rejuvenation, we teachers should advance with the times, and design our ideological and political education courses properly to enhance college students’ integrative motivation to make learning a part of their everyday life, and help them develop a good habit in their lifetime. Based on constructivism, we can make use of some smart phone-based apps like “Xuexi Qiangguo” to have an integrative approach. This app is distinctive, authoritative, and powerful, like a great treasure house with a lot of news, theories, and stories. It is flexible, easily accessible, and efficient, and is able to us make a big difference in teaching. Our case study shows how we can actually rebuild a preview mechanism, upgrade our learning style and better evaluation mechanism for better teaching of some courses.

Abstract:
[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in Informing Science: the International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline (InfoSci)] Aim/Purpose: The main aim of the research is to examine the performance of second language English speaking students enrolled in the Business Statistics course and to investigate the academic performance of students when taught under the constructivist and non-constructivist approaches in a classroom environment. Background: There are different learning theories that are established based on how students learn. Each of these theories has its own benefits based on the different type of learners and context of the environment. The students in this research are new to the University environment and to a challenging technical course like Business Statistics. This research has been carried out to see the effectiveness of the constructivist approach in motivating and increasing the student engagement and their academic performance. Methodology: A total of 1373 students were involved in the quasi-experiment method using Stratified Sampling Method from the year 2015 until 2016. Contribution: To consider curriculum adjustments for first year programs and implications for teacher education. Findings: The t-test for unequal variances was used to understand the mean score. Results indicate students have high motivation level and achieve higher mean scores when they are taught using the constructivist teaching approach compared to the non-constructivist teaching approach. Recommendations for Practitioners : To consider the challenges faced by first year students and create a teaching approach that fits their needs. Recommendation for Researchers: To explore in depth other teaching approaches of the Business Statistics course in improving students’ academic performance. Impact on Society: The constructivist approach will enable learning to be enjoyable and students to be more confident. Future Research: The research will assist other lectures teaching Business Statistics in creating a more conducive environment to encourage second language English speaking students to overcome their shyness and be more engaged.

Hossain, Awlad. "Teaching an Undergraduate Introductory Finite Element Analysis Course: Successful Implementation for Students Learning." In ASME 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2015-50091.

Full text
Abstract:
In our institution, we offer a one-quarter long finite element analysis (FEA) class for Mechanical Engineering curriculum. This course teaches computational methods to solve engineering problems using the state of art FEA software ANSYS. The coursework involves teaching fundamental mathematical theories to build the concept, analyzing simple structural problems using matrix algebra, and then solving a wide variety of engineering problems dealing with statics, dynamics, heat transfer and others. Students enrolled in this class solve varieties of problem by analytical approach, finite element approach using matrix algebra, using APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language) and ANSYS Workbench. As we are in quarter system, it is challenging to solve additional multidisciplinary complex engineering problems in regular class lectures. Therefore, students enrolled in this class are required to conduct a project solvable by student version of ANSYS within very short time. The project must have adequate engineering complexity conveying interesting knowledge or technical concepts to the entire class. Students have to prepare a brief written report, and share what they have learned with the entire class giving an oral presentation. While a course in FEA could be a common offering in many universities, the author of this paper presents the pedagogical approaches undertaken to successfully implement the course objectives to the undergraduate engineering students. The topics and techniques applied to teach different concepts of FEA to enhance students learning outcomes are addressed in this paper.

"Did You Also Fall Asleep During a Principles of Programming Languages Lecture? How Did a Re-design of a PPL Course Succeed to Keep the Students Tuned-in? [Discussion paper]." In InSITE 2019: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: Jerusalem. Informing Science Institute, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4329.

Full text
Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: In this paper we wish to present a new direction for the instruction of a Principles of Programming Languages (PPL) course. Background: Teaching PPL using the standard curriculum found that the students do not understand the overall concepts, getting lost in the abundance of minute details. We needed a way to emphasize the higher level constructs important to this body of knowledge. Methodology: This is a course description paper, describing how we instruct a PPL course at our college. Contribution: To share with the CS education community the approach we developed to effectively teach the very important PPL course. Findings: Using the integrative approach presented, we believe that • relative to the previous, and commonplace, PPL teaching approach, this is a very effective and successful way for conveying this important subject matter, and • our new teaching approach gave the students a professional maturity that they lacked before they took the course. Recommendations for Practitioners: Do not be scared to experiment with new ways of teaching. Do not think that you must teach the way the books tell it. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Future Research: All our insights about the use of the presented teaching approach are non-empirical. Future research should thoroughly analyze the results from teach-ing/learning theories points of view using standard CSE techniques.

Kaplan, Dana, and Maya Wizel. ""MIND THE GAP": THE TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING PROCESS OF SECOND LANGUAGE PRACTITIONERS WHEN BECOMING SCHOLARS." In International Conference on Education and New Developments. inScience Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36315/2021end056.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper is about transformations from knowing to not-knowing and from doing to becoming. The paper’s focus is an ongoing research project on a new Doctorate program in Modern Languages studies (DML) and the process that the students in this program undergo when transitioning from being practitioners to becoming novice scholars. This program is part of a conscious effort to create an academic field whereby scholarly and professional types of knowledge are organically co-produced and this interlaced knowledge is expected to fertilize practitioners’ professional practices. The program’s graduate students are mostly in their mid-career and are motivated to pursue their DML studies for multiple reasons. The necessity of developing a study plan that can foster their transition from practitioners to scholars and help them develop a researcher identity became evident early on. Students were expected to quickly re-adjust their self-image as future theorizers who could carry out independent research and produce original scholarship. While the challenges mentioned above are not unique to this specific doctorate program and are well documented in the extensive scholarship on doctorate students’ education, fewer studies have addressed the particular challenges faculty and students face as part of the latter’s transition from practitioners to graduate students and novice researchers. Therefore, we ask, what accounts for a successful process of supporting language teachers in becoming novice researchers? Our aim is twofold: first, to detail our pedagogical rationale, dilemmas we faced, and the solutions we carved out; and secondly, to contribute to a nascent discussion on doctorate students’ training and academic socialization in applied disciplines. Using Mezirow’s adult learning theory of Transformative Learning, we describe the challenge of designing a process of academic socialization that can support adult learners’ development and shift in perceptions, skills, and actions. During the first four cohorts of the program, in an introductory course, “Research Foundations,” we faced dilemmas regarding reading materials and teaching activities, and collected students' reflections and communications with us, the course professors. Accordingly, the paper explicitly emphasizes our efforts to actively foster a culture of independent learning and a productive learning community by introducing new knowledge and skills. The paper can benefit instructors who design and lead graduate programs for practitioners in any field of practice.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper aimed to study the readiness of the existing e-learning environment for the organisation of English-language learning among Ukrainian and international students on the example of a technical university in Ukraine. The need for English-language training was explored by interviewing students with keen interest, level of English proficiency, motivation, preferred forms of learning, and a willingness to incur additional costs for such learning. About two-thirds of those surveyed showed interest in English-language education. About one-third of the students surveyed have the necessary level of preparation and are also prepared for additional financial expenses. About one- third of the students may also join English-language studies if they fulfil specific prerequisites. Expected employment progress is the primary motivation for joining the English-language program. The readiness of the existing learning environment was tested by analysing the organisation of access to English- language teaching materials, assessing the demand for different electronic resources, as well as the ability to take into account the learning styles of potential Ukrainian and international students in the educational process.

Abstract:
Affordance is an integral part of the practical knowledge teachers acquires while using new technologies in their teaching. This article describes the situated learning of two experienced modern language teachers using new technologies as they learned to perceive and implement learning affordances of several new tools in their individual classroom contexts, including Second Life and Wimba. The teachers identified and actualised learning affordances that allowed them to support students’ learning according to their respective beliefs about teaching and learning. The implications for computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher development are discussed in relation to professional learning and to the enriching of effective teaching practice.

Abstract:
The central thesis of this paper is that e-learning courses can have a significant impact on English language for specific purposes (ESP) proficiency of mining mechanical engineering students. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of ESP Moodle-based course “English for Mining Mechanical Engineers” and to reveal the results of its experimental approbation. In order to identify the lectures’ and learners’ needs we have applied the survey research. The survey confirmed the greatest demand for Moodle courses that include all the elements of a coherent training manual to provide self-development of engineering students. The interview results contributed to design of author’s ESP course syllabus. The importance and originality of this study are that to approbate the course materials’ effectiveness two approaches have been adopted simultaneously. The first is blended learning method based on e-learning platform applied in the experimental group and the second one is classic in-class instructor-led studying used in a control group. Students’ progress in ESP proficiency has been assessed using the cross assessment method. The experiment has validated the initial hypothesis that the special online courses focused on honing foreign language skills and integrated in the domain of specific professional knowledge have a beneficial effect on students’ communicative competencies in general. There were identified the advantages of self-tuition based on Moodle platform. The Moodle course lets the teachers save considerable in-class time to focus more on communicative assignments. The findings of this study have a number of practical implications in ESP online courses development.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the Japanese students’ learning process when they study Spanish as a second language. First, it mentions some students’ profile characteristic and their interests in learning a new language. Second, it describes the learning language system in Japan, the students’ behavior in the language classes, and which activities they prefer to do in class. In addition, it describes different kinds of learning methods that could be applied depending on the students’ interests and cultural differences. Finally, the author considers that teaching Spanish to Japanese students raises several issues that have to be attended in order to achieve success. Since learning a language implies hard work and effort, teachers must try different methods and approaches relying upon scientific evidence based on one fundamental assumption: people learn by doing things themselves.

Full text
Abstract:
Co-teaching is defined as a collaborative method of instruction (Murawski & Hughes, 2009), which implies co-teaching partnerships where educators make and effort in terms of joint instructional decisions and share responsibility as well as accountability for student learning (Shumway et all., 2011). This working paper is intended to illustrate the state-of-the-art concerning the implementation of co-teaching in EFL settings in Colombia over the last two decades. This manuscript is based on documentary research, in which primary source data were collected from data bases, university repositories, journals, and official reports. As an outcome, we expect to unveil co-teaching strategies, co-teachers' roles as well as collaborative teaching benefits in EFL in general, and foreign language student-teachers’ education, in particular.

Experimental Evidence on Teacher Professional Development and Student Learning in South Africa. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), January 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-wp_2020/050.

Full text
Abstract:
Virtual communication holds the promise of enabling low-cost professional development at scale, but the benefits of in-person interaction might be difficult to replicate. We report on an experiment in South Africa comparing on-site with virtual coaching of public primary school teachers. After three years, on-site coaching improved students' English oral language and reading proficiency (0.31 and 0.13 SD, respectively). Virtual coaching had a smaller impact on English oral language proficiency (0.12 SD), no impact on English reading proficiency, and an unintended negative effect on home language literacy. Classroom observations show that on-site coaching improved teaching practices, and virtual coaching led to larger crowding-out of home language teaching time. Implementation and survey data suggest technology itself was not a barrier to implementation, but rather that in-person contact enabled more accountability and support.
