This article presents a study intended to analyze the effects of awareness-raising and explicit strategy instruction on the performance of young learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) in a multilingual context. In particular, we focused on the teaching of compensatory strategies (CpSs), a subset of communication strategies (CSs), and examined the immediate and delayed effects of explicit instruction of conceptual CpSs on young learners’ oral and written object description in English. Students’ description appropriateness and CpS use were assessed at three different times during the study. Three intact classes of eleven-year-old learners in a Spanish primary school participated in the study: Two classes formed the experimental group (n = 43) and the third class served as the control group (n = 20). Object description was part of the learners’ EFL syllabus, but only the experimental group received explicit instruction in identifying and using CpSs. Results revealed a positive effect of awareness-raising and explicit instruction of CpSs on overall description appropriateness in oral production immediately after intervention. Moreover, with regard to specific strategies, the use of superordinate appears to be the CpS that benefits the most from instruction.
本文介绍了一项研究,旨在分析在多语言环境下,提高意识和明确策略教学对年轻英语学习者学习成绩的影响。我们特别关注了补偿策略(交际策略的一个子集)的教学,并研究了概念补偿策略的显性教学对年轻学习者英语口语和书面对象描述的即时和延迟影响。在研究过程中,对学生的描述恰当性和CpS的使用进行了三个不同时间的评估。西班牙某小学三个完整的11岁学生班级为研究对象,两个班级为实验组(n = 43),第三个班级为对照组(n = 20)。对象描述是学习者英语教学大纲的一部分,但只有实验组在识别和使用cps方面得到了明确的指导。结果显示,提高意识和明确指导cps对干预后口腔生产的整体描述适当性有积极影响。此外,在具体策略方面,使用上级似乎是CpS从教学中受益最大的。

This paper aimed to investigate the beliefs and practices regarding learner autonomy (LA) among the Vietnamese EFL teachers at high schools. Data were collected from the survey and the interviews. A total of 136 EFL teachers from high schools across Vietnam completed the questionnaires, and 10 of them participated in the interviews later. The results showed that the participants expressed positivity towards LA and preferred sociocultural and psychological modes of LA, but some of them did not have sufficient knowledge of LA. The teachers perceived that their students did not possess a reasonable level of LA. Those teachers made efforts to promote LA in the English classes and found it challenging because of learners, teachers, family, and institutional factors when implementing LA. The implications are then put forward for the improvement of LA among high school students at three different levels of the individual teacher, management, and the decision-making process.
本研究旨在调查越南高中英语教师关于学习者自主的信念和实践。数据收集自调查和访谈。来自越南各地的136名高中英语教师完成了问卷调查,其中10名教师随后参加了访谈。结果表明,被试对洛杉矶表现出积极的态度,并对洛杉矶的社会文化和心理模式表示偏爱,但部分被试对洛杉矶的认识不够充分。老师们意识到他们的学生没有掌握合理的LA水平。这些教师努力在英语课堂中推广LA,但由于学习者、教师、家庭和制度等因素,在实施LA时遇到了挑战。在此基础上,本文从教师个人、管理和决策三个层面提出了中学生学习行为改善的启示。

TikTok is a popular video-sharing social media platform that encourages its users to upload bite-sized content for entertainment purposes. In recent years, the platform is filled with videos meant for micro-learning, ranging from tutorials to meaningful challenges. Among those videos are voice-over challenges where users need to virtually duet with another user and perform a voice-over based on given texts. This article reports a case study that aimed to identify the usefulness of TikTok voice-over challenges in helping English as a Second Language (ESL) students to learn speaking skills. The study included 60 undergraduates who participated in twelve voiceover challenges within two months. Upon completing the challenges, they had to fill in an online questionnaire that gathered their views on the usefulness of the tasks and the problems they faced. The results revealed that students regarded the TikTok challenges as useful since they could improve their pronunciation and intonation, partake in turn-taking as well as motivate them to speak English more frequently. Several notable problems with its implementation are also shared in this article. Despite the small sample size, this study has shown promising outcomes on the use of TikTok voice-over challenges as speaking tasks for ESL learners.
TikTok是一个受欢迎的视频分享社交媒体平台,它鼓励用户上传少量的娱乐内容。近年来,该平台充斥着用于微学习的视频,从教程到有意义的挑战都有。在这些视频中有配音挑战,用户需要与另一个用户虚拟二重唱,并根据给定的文本进行配音。本文报告了一个案例研究,旨在确定TikTok配音挑战在帮助英语作为第二语言(ESL)学生学习口语技能方面的有用性。这项研究包括60名大学生,他们在两个月内参加了12项配音挑战。在完成挑战后,他们必须填写一份在线问卷,收集他们对任务的有用性和他们面临的问题的看法。结果显示,学生们认为TikTok挑战很有用,因为他们可以提高自己的发音和语调,参与轮流练习,并激励他们更频繁地说英语。本文还分享了其实现中的几个值得注意的问题。尽管样本量小,但这项研究在使用TikTok配音挑战作为ESL学习者的口语任务方面显示出了有希望的结果。

Investigating the coverage of speech acts in Hong Kong ELT textbooks 调查香港英语教材中有关言语行为的内容
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-09-01 DOI: 10.56040/lmdw2014
Liam Wilson
In this investigation, speech acts targeted for instruction in ELT (English Language Teaching) textbooks commonly used in Hong Kong were examined using relational content analysis. The aim was to discover which speech acts are frequently presented or not evident, so that this information could be compared to that which has been found in prior studies in other locations. This is important because, from a pedagogical viewpoint, teachers need to ensure textbooks help students learn to use as wide a range of speech acts as possible. As textbooks also need to provide clear examples and information to help learners understand how and when to use speech acts, in this research, the presentation of the speech acts was examined to identify the pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic information. It was found that there was a tendency to include certain speech acts much more frequently than others, and that some were not included at all. There was also a general lack of clear pragmalinguistic (such as the presentation of indirect speech acts) and sociopragmatic information (such as dealing with high degrees of social distance) presented. This suggests that these factors could be given further consideration and that there are improvements that could be made to both the way that textbooks are written and selected for use. Therefore, this study contributes valuable information about the speech acts in Hong Kong ELT textbooks to and has important implications for both textbook writers and English teachers regarding the field of pragmatics.
本研究以香港常用的英语教材为研究对象,采用关系内容分析的方法,对教材中的言语行为进行分析。目的是发现哪些言语行为经常出现或不明显,以便将这些信息与之前在其他地方的研究中发现的信息进行比较。这一点很重要,因为从教学的角度来看,教师需要确保教科书帮助学生学习使用尽可能广泛的语言行为。由于教科书还需要提供清晰的例子和信息来帮助学习者理解如何以及何时使用言语行为,因此在本研究中,研究了言语行为的表现,以识别语用语言学和社会语用学信息。研究发现,有一种倾向,包括某些言语行为比其他更频繁,而有些根本不包括在内。也普遍缺乏明确的语用语言学(如间接言语行为的呈现)和社会语用学信息(如处理高度的社会距离)的呈现。这表明可以进一步考虑这些因素,并且可以对教科书的编写方式和选择使用方式进行改进。因此,本研究为香港英语教材中的言语行为提供了有价值的信息,对教材编写者和英语教师在语用学领域具有重要的启示意义。

This study investigated the relationships among intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, learning strategies, and second/foreign language (L2) achievement. A self-report questionnaire of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was administered to 291 university students learning English in Korea to collect data about motivation and learning strategies, and L2 achievement was determined by the grade of an English reading course. The results of data analysis using the Pearson product moment correlation and structural equation modeling (SEM) were as follows: first, the correlations among intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, learning strategies, and achievement were all significant, with intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy the highest and intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation the lowest correlations. Second, the model (Model 4) explaining the contributions of extrinsic motivation and self-efficacy to achievement mediated by learning strategies fit the current data better than other competing models (Models 1, 2, and 3). Third, significant direct effects of extrinsic motivation and learning strategies on achievement were found, whereas a significant indirect effect of self-efficacy on achievement by way of learning strategies was detected. The implications of these findings were discussed in terms of the contributions of extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and learning strategy use to L2 achievement, followed by future study areas to shed further light on relations among motivational components, learning strategies, and L2 achievement.
本研究探讨了内在动机和外在动机、学习策略与第二语言/外语成绩之间的关系。本研究以291名韩国大学生为研究对象,采用动机学习策略自述问卷(MSLQ)收集动机和学习策略的相关数据,并通过英语阅读课程的成绩来确定二语学习成绩。利用Pearson积矩相关和结构方程模型(SEM)进行数据分析的结果表明:第一,内在动机、外在动机、自我效能感、学习策略和成绩之间的相关性均显著,其中内在动机与自我效能感的相关性最高,内在动机与外在动机的相关性最低。其次,解释学习策略介导的外在动机和自我效能对成就贡献的模型(模型4)比其他竞争模型(模型1、模型2和模型3)更符合当前数据。第三,外在动机和学习策略对成就的直接影响显著,而自我效能通过学习策略对成就的间接影响显著。本文从外在动机、自我效能和学习策略对二语成就的影响三个方面讨论了这些发现的意义,并提出了进一步阐明动机成分、学习策略和二语成就之间关系的未来研究领域。

Teacher-initiated vs. student-initiated written corrective feedback in EFL writing 教师发起与学生发起的英语写作纠正反馈
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-09-01 DOI: 10.56040/bana2012

With the popularity of student-centered pedagogy in language education, research on alternative feedback strategies to supplement teacher written corrective feedback (WCF) has flourished in different contexts. Such research, however, has viewed alternative feedback strategies as initiated, deployed, and controlled by teachers, paying little attention to students’ capability in identifying and correcting their linguistic errors on their own. The current study adopts a quasi-experimental design to investigate the impact of a student-initiated feedback intervention on undergraduate students’ error identification and correction ability at a major university in Oman. To this end, two groups of first-year students (n = 63) from two different sections of an essay writing course were assigned to a control group, who received the traditional teacher feedback, and an experimental group, who consulted alternative sources of feedback on their own. Analysis of the data from pre-test and post-test tasks revealed that while both groups significantly improved their scores on different error correction attempts over a 16-week semester, the source of feedback did not lead to significant between-group differences in the scores. Furthermore, qualitative data indicated that, despite some challenges, students drew on a variety of sources and resources to reduce linguistic errors in their writing.
随着以学生为中心的教学法在语言教育中的普及,对教师书面纠错反馈的替代反馈策略的研究在不同的语境下蓬勃发展。然而,这些研究将其他反馈策略视为由教师发起、部署和控制的,很少关注学生自己识别和纠正语言错误的能力。本研究采用准实验设计,考察阿曼某重点大学学生发起的反馈干预对本科生错误识别和纠正能力的影响。为此,两组一年级学生(n = 63)从论文写作课程的两个不同部分被分配到一个对照组,他们接受传统的教师反馈,和一个实验组,他们自己咨询其他反馈来源。对测试前和测试后任务数据的分析显示,尽管在为期16周的学期中,两组学生在不同的纠错尝试上的分数都有了显著提高,但反馈的来源并没有导致组间分数的显著差异。此外,定性数据表明,尽管存在一些挑战,但学生们利用各种来源和资源来减少写作中的语言错误。

Native and Non-native Speakers’ Reaction to Errors Flagged by Grammarly: Evidence from Screen Capture 母语和非母语人士对语法标记错误的反应:来自屏幕截图的证据
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.56040/efke1921
Khaled El Ebyary El Ebyary
The now ubiquitous use of advanced Web 2.0 tools in writing and the emergence of automated error flagging applications with affordances far beyond Word Processing requires some attention from both L2 researchers and L2 tutors, especially when both native (skilled) writers and non-native (less skilled) writers have, reportedly, started to use various commercial and freemium technological tools that claim to provide automated written corrective feedback. In fact, little is known about tracking writers’ editing behaviour when automated error flagging is in place and whether such behaviour would vary between native and non-native writers. Using a pre-post activity interview, an IELTS writing task 2 and screen capture software, the current case study compared the editing behaviours of native and non-native speakers of English when Grammarly was used. Major results revealed that native speakers had overall more flagged errors than non-native speakers did, but the latter group had more grammar errors flagged. However, the two groups followed a similar pattern in reacting to the flagged errors. Both native and non-native writers accepted suggestions from Grammarly. The study also suggests that evidence is needed with regard to teachers’ roles in and learners’ uptake from error flagging applications.
现在先进的Web 2.0工具在写作中的普遍使用,以及自动错误标记应用程序的出现,其功能远远超出了文字处理的范围,这需要第二语言研究者和第二语言导师的一些关注,特别是当母语(熟练的)作家和非母语(不熟练的)作家都开始使用各种声称可以提供自动书面纠正反馈的商业和免费技术工具时。事实上,当有了自动错误标记时,我们几乎不知道如何跟踪作者的编辑行为,也不知道这种行为在母语和非母语作者之间是否会有所不同。本案例研究采用活动前后访谈、雅思写作任务2和屏幕截图软件,比较了使用Grammarly时母语和非母语英语人士的编辑行为。主要结果显示,总体而言,以英语为母语的人比非以英语为母语的人有更多的错误,但后者有更多的语法错误。然而,这两个小组对标记错误的反应模式相似。母语和非母语作家都接受了Grammarly的建议。该研究还表明,关于教师在错误标记应用程序中的作用和学习者的吸收,需要证据。

Self-Directed Learning Versus Teacher-Led Instruction: Their Effects on Oral Proficiency and Speaking Structural Accuracy of Intermediate and Advanced EFL Learners 自主学习与教师指导:对中高级英语学习者口语水平和口语结构准确性的影响
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.56040/sdje1922
Masoomeh Estaji, Ladan Jonaidi-Jafari
This study investigated the effects and effectiveness of Self-Directed Learning (SDL) vs. Teacher-Led Instruction (TLI) on EFL learners’ oral proficiency and speaking structural accuracy. To this end, 52 participants were selected and assigned to intermediate and advanced levels. Afterward, both levels were divided into two groups of SDL and TLI randomly. All participants received eight sessions of treatment on their English-speaking by practicing the principles of SDL and TLI. IELTS speaking test was administered before and after treatment. The results revealed that learners of both levels benefited equally from SDL more than TLI. To explore the usefulness of these two approaches, five intermediate and five advanced participants were asked to write narratives. The results revealed that the participants mainly referred to SDL as a factor that could make them independent in detecting their speaking problems. Moreover, teachers in TLI had pivotal roles in guiding and managing the speaking process.
本研究探讨了自主学习(SDL)与教师主导教学(TLI)对英语学习者口语水平和口语结构准确性的影响和效果。为此,选出了52名参加者,并将其分配到中级和高级水平。随后,将两组患者随机分为SDL和TLI两组。所有的参与者都接受了8个疗程的英语治疗,通过实践SDL和TLI的原则。在治疗前后分别进行雅思口语测试。结果表明,两种水平的学习者从SDL中获得的收益相同。为了探索这两种方法的有用性,五名中级和五名高级参与者被要求写叙述。结果显示,参与者主要将SDL作为一个因素,使他们能够独立地发现自己的语言问题。此外,英语教学中的教师在引导和管理口语过程中起着关键作用。
