Education does not occur in a vacuum – it is the product of the context in which it takes place. Language education is of no exception. In the context of Asia, a common discourse relating to English language education is its presumed relationship with Asian learning culture. As a general term, Asian learning culture has come to mean the pervasive traditional view on the importance of literary education and the little value placed on knowledge acquisition for practical purposes. The authority of teachers as the purveyor of knowledge is usually unquestioned, as is the role of students as the mere recipients of knowledge. Corollaries of this perspective are the focus on literacy and the prevalence of teacher-centred learning. Rote learning, repetition and focus on the instruction given by the teacher are by way of implications important features of this allegedly established Asian cultural learning perspective.
教育不是在真空中发生的,它是教育发生的环境的产物。语言教育也不例外。在亚洲语境中,英语教育与亚洲学习文化的关系是一个常见的论述。作为一个笼统的术语,亚洲学习文化意味着普遍存在的传统观点,即文学教育的重要性,以及为实际目的而获取知识的价值。教师作为知识的传授者的权威通常是毋庸置疑的,学生作为知识的单纯接受者的角色也是如此。这一观点的必然结果是对扫盲的关注和以教师为中心的学习的盛行。死记硬背、重复和专注于老师的教导是这种据称已确立的亚洲文化学习观的重要特征。

This paper explores the complexities of developing and delivering English for Academic Purposes (EAP) pre-departure programs. We reflect on experiences of co-teaching in a Lao PDR based program for students planning to undertake tertiary studies in New Zealand or Australia. Taking a sociocultural perspective, we examine the way that the Lao pre-departure program aims to attend to the particularities of both local and target contexts and to facilitate student adaptation to the chosen institution and discipline. The program takes a participatory approach to EAP and the broader acculturation processes, making space for individual student voice as part of the modeling and scaffolding of academic English. Based on this experience of transnational collaboration in development and delivery, we discuss critical issues of relevance to the planning and delivery of EAP pre-departure courses and productive international study experiences.
本文探讨了开发和提供学术英语(EAP)离校前课程的复杂性。我们反思了老挝人民民主共和国为计划在新西兰或澳大利亚接受高等教育的学生提供的联合教学经验。从社会文化的角度来看,我们考察了老挝离境前计划旨在照顾当地和目标环境的特殊性,并促进学生适应所选择的机构和学科的方式。该项目采用参与式方法进行EAP和更广泛的文化适应过程,为学生的个人声音提供空间,作为学术英语建模和脚手架的一部分。基于在开发和交付方面的跨国合作经验,我们讨论了与EAP离境前课程的规划和交付以及富有成效的国际学习经验相关的关键问题。

This paper investigates an effective way to develop academic writing skills of 4th year students of at a university in Myanmar in using peer reviewing and a guided peer-feedback process. A comparison was made to determine the effectiveness between the instructor feedback and peer feedback implementation based on the students' revision work. Twenty students’ papers became the focus of four different types of written feedback: Error Identification, Error Correction, Descriptive Comment and Critical Comment. Data on the number of feedback on the students’ final assignments and final paper were collected to study the feedback implementation rate and types of feedback students incorporated into their revision work. It was found that peer feedback effect had greater on error identification than instructor feedback. This is despite a significantly higher revision rate of instructor feedback on error correction. This study outlines some implications for second language writing on providing effective peer feedback in Myanmar and other contexts in the ASEAN region.

Educating Language Learners in Asia: towards Cultural Learning hybridity 亚洲语言学习者的教育:迈向文化学习混合

Among local educationists and Western-born educators teaching in Asia, there is a widely perceived belief in an Asian learning culture as one that emphasises literacy education and the limited practicality of knowledge acquisition. Often this allegedly established Asian learning culture is associated with the unquestioned authority of teachers as the purveyor of knowledge, resulting in the predominant role of rote learning, repetition and teacher-centred learning. The prevalence of this view is most evident among those who are relatively novice to language education industry, as one coming from a Western country teaching in Vietnam, for example, would generally assume more of the implementation of teacher-centred learning. But this view might indicate political naivety to the local educational context. While to some extent the traditional belief in Asian learning culture might hold true, there have been widespread contestations to the belief for its generalisation of cultures (McKay, 2002), failure in recognising differences between language classroom contexts (Kubota, 1999; Savignon & Wang, 2003) and the stereotyping of Asian students as being passive and less outspoken (Kubota, 1999; Zhang, 2012).
在当地教育工作者和在亚洲教学的西方出生的教育工作者中,人们普遍认为亚洲的学习文化强调识字教育和知识获取的有限实用性。这种所谓建立起来的亚洲学习文化往往与教师作为知识传授者的不容置疑的权威联系在一起,导致死记硬背、重复和以教师为中心的学习占据主导地位。这种观点在语言教育行业的新手中最为明显,因为来自西方国家的教师在越南教学,例如,通常会认为更多地实施以教师为中心的学习。但这种观点可能表明了当地教育背景下的政治幼稚。虽然在某种程度上,对亚洲学习文化的传统信念可能是正确的,但对其文化概括的信念存在广泛的争议(McKay, 2002),未能认识到语言课堂环境之间的差异(Kubota, 1999;Savignon & Wang, 2003)以及对亚洲学生被动和不太直言不讳的刻板印象(Kubota, 1999;张,2012)。

Changing Trainee Teachers’ Perceptions of School-Based Assessment in Malaysia: an Exploratory Study 改变马来西亚实习教师对校本评估的看法:一项探索性研究
Pub Date : 2017-12-31 DOI: 10.5746/LEIA/17/V8/I1/A03/SMITH_AHMADUN

School-based assessment, while quite established in many Western countries, is still relatively new in the Asian education context. Consequently, operational problems such as time constraints, lack of teacher skills and inadequate computer management systems have hampered implementation efforts. While studies have been conducted which examined these issues, few if any have examined how trainee teachers feel. The following paper addresses this issue through an exploratory study on 25 first year bachelor of education students from a Malaysian Institute of Teacher Education. Findings showed that the majority of students were more positive towards a student-centred and formative learning approach after the students had experienced a teaching unit based on formative assessment principles. The findings also indicated that cultural influence may play a considerable part in the success or otherwise of school-based assessment endeavours. Results of this study may serve as a useful starting point for researchers interested in more classroom-based explorations of school-based assessment in Asia.
以学校为基础的评估虽然在许多西方国家已经建立,但在亚洲的教育环境中仍然相对较新。因此,诸如时间限制、缺乏教师技能和计算机管理系统不足等业务问题阻碍了执行工作。虽然对这些问题进行了研究,但很少有人调查实习教师的感受。下面的论文通过对马来西亚教师教育学院25名一年级教育学士学生的探索性研究来解决这个问题。调查结果显示,在学生体验了基于形成性评估原则的教学单元后,大多数学生对以学生为中心的形成性学习方法更加积极。研究结果还表明,文化影响可能在学校评估工作的成功与否中发挥相当大的作用。本研究的结果可以作为一个有用的起点,为有兴趣在亚洲进行更多以课堂为基础的校本评估探索的研究人员。

Paraphrasing is an important skill in academic writing – it is a cognitive skill that requires higher order thinking and high proficiency inss both reading and writing. This research explored the paraphrasing ability of EFL learners at a tertiary institution in Vietnam and examined the challenges they face when paraphrasing. Data were collected from ten second-year English major students through (i) paraphrasing a given text and (ii) individual interviews. The findings revealed that participants frequently paraphrased using synonyms, but rarely changed syntactic structures. The interviews showed that the learners encountered several language-related difficulties when attempting to paraphrase, such as inadequate understanding of the source text and the lack of vocabulary to use when paraphrasing. This paper provides insights into EFL learners’ paraphrasing abilities and suggests some implications as to what EFL teachers should focus on to help less experienced student writers improve their paraphrasing skills.
释义是学术写作中的一项重要技能——它是一种认知技能,需要更高层次的思维和读写能力。本研究探讨了越南某高等院校英语学习者的释义能力,并考察了他们在释义时面临的挑战。通过(i)释义给定文本和(ii)个人访谈,从10名英语专业二年级学生中收集数据。研究结果显示,参与者经常使用同义词进行释义,但很少改变句法结构。访谈显示,学习者在进行意译时遇到了一些与语言相关的困难,例如对原文的理解不足以及在意译时缺乏可用的词汇。本文对英语学习者的释义能力进行了分析,并对英语教师在帮助缺乏写作经验的学生提高释义能力方面应注意的问题提出了一些建议。

Professional development plays a central role in fostering teaching quality. As teaching and learning in Vietnam have embraced a digital mode, the emergence of webinars has been noted. However, little is known about its impact on primary and secondary English language teachers, especially in rural areas. This multi-perspective case study aimed to explore the beliefs and practices of a small group of mid-career teachers working at different schools in a southwestern province in Vietnam as they experienced digital professional development. After having reflected on their participation in both synchronous and asynchronous webinars, the teachers were encouraged to implement selected techniques to engage learners in their teaching contexts. Qualitative findings from teachers’ interviews and observations demonstrate how this digital modality influenced their pedagogical and social cognition, impacting their classroom practices.
专业发展在提高教学质量方面发挥着核心作用。随着越南的教学和学习采用数字化模式,人们注意到网络研讨会的出现。然而,它对中小学英语教师的影响却鲜为人知,尤其是对农村地区的中小学英语教师。这个多视角的案例研究旨在探讨一小群在越南西南省份不同学校工作的职业中期教师在经历数字化专业发展过程中的信念和实践。在反思了他们在同步和异步网络研讨会上的参与情况后,教师们被鼓励采用选定的技术来吸引学习者参与他们的教学环境。教师访谈和观察的定性结果表明,这种数字模式如何影响他们的教学和社会认知,影响他们的课堂实践。

The Relationship Between Leisure Reading Habits, Vocabulary and Writing of English Language Learners (ELLs) 英语学习者休闲阅读习惯、词汇量和写作的关系

Numerous studies have highlighted the influence of leisure reading habits on second language proficiency. The present study investigates the relationship between students’ reading habits, vocabulary and writing performance. A reading survey, productive vocabulary test and writing test were administered to 33 university English language learners (ELLs) students in Malaysia. The results indicate that participants had not received a lot of support for reading from their English teachers at elementary schools or at secondary level and had limited access to reading resources. The university students in the study were aware of the value of reading in English, albeit spending a considerable amount of time on the Internet compared to reading off-line. More than half of the participants agreed that they would read something if it was recommended by their lecturers. In addition, the present study also found that participants had not acquired the adequate vocabulary size required for tertiary studies. The findings have important implications for English language practitioners both at school and tertiary levels.
许多研究都强调了休闲阅读习惯对第二语言能力的影响。本研究旨在探讨学生阅读习惯、词汇量与写作表现之间的关系。对马来西亚33名大学英语学习者进行了阅读调查、生产性词汇测试和写作测试。结果表明,在小学和中学阶段,被调查者在阅读方面没有得到英语老师的大力支持,阅读资源的获取也很有限。参与研究的大学生意识到英语阅读的价值,尽管与离线阅读相比,他们花在互联网上的时间相当多。超过一半的参与者同意,如果讲师推荐的东西,他们会去读。此外,本研究还发现,参与者没有获得高等教育所需的足够词汇量。这一发现对中小学和高等院校的英语从业者都有重要意义。

Does Dictogloss Improve Non-English Major Students’ Motivation and Grammatical Competence? 辨析是否能提高非英语专业学生的动机和语法能力?

This 12-week research examined the effects of dictogloss on the students’ grammatical competence and motivation. Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, and observation involving twenty eight students in a maths classat a higher education institution in Vietnam. The initial data indicated that students had low grammatical competence and motivation in learning grammar. By analyzing the textbook, the researcher found out it was structured in a way where dictogloss could be applicable and then an action plan was made to better the situation. The findings demonstrated the positive impacts of using dictogloss in the class where English was taught as an EFL (English as a foreign language). Learners could not only make improvements in their grammatical competence but also express greater interest in the English class. The dicussion supports the use of dictogloss as an alternative method for grammar teaching and provides some implications for better dictogloss practice in EFL context.
这项为期12周的研究考察了辨析对学生语法能力和动机的影响。通过测试、问卷调查和观察收集数据,涉及越南一所高等教育机构数学班的28名学生。初步数据表明,学生的语法能力和学习动机较低。通过分析教科书,研究人员发现它的结构是一种可以应用dictogloss的方式,然后制定了行动计划来改善这种情况。研究结果表明,在英语作为外语教学的课堂上,使用语法注释会产生积极影响。学习者不仅能提高语法能力,还能对英语课表现出更大的兴趣。本文的讨论支持将辨析法作为语法教学的一种替代方法,并为在英语语境中更好地运用辨析法提供一些启示。

Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, and observation involving twenty eight students in a maths classat a higher education institution in Vietnam. The initial data indicated that students had low grammatical competence and motivation in learning grammar. By analyzing the textbook, the researcher found out it was structured in a way where dictogloss could be applicable and then an action plan was made to better the situation. The findings demonstrated the positive impacts of using dictogloss in the class where English was taught as an EFL (English as a foreign language). Learners could not only make improvements in their grammatical competence but also express greater interest in the English class.
