Mentoring is an essential part of teacher development. It is generally acknowledged that a master talent in mentoring is the ability to make resources available to a novice protégé to help them educate successfully. This study illustrates how mentorship technique aided in boosting teacher motivation for online instruction during COVID-19. According to the research, learning is successful when there are close relationships between mentors and mentees, opportunities for growth, and a supportive atmosphere. The investigation took place in a Nepalese school in Kathmandu. Ten English Language (EL) instructors from Nursery - 10 participated in the study. They were mentored by the head of the English Department and a computer assistant for two months. The Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model of mentoring was used, which stood on connectivism philosophy. The study employed a narrative methodology. Semi-structured interview and thematic analysis techniques were used to produce and analyse data. Standing on their stories, the teachers were familiarized with the concept of Web-Enhanced Language Learning (WELL), Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Finally, teachers produced technology enhanced lesson plans fusing the content with technology for the new pedagogy. To assess the results of mentoring during the pre-phase, while-phase, and post-phase, in-depth interviews were carried out. The findings highlight the difficulties mentees faced: a lack of confidence or a sense of inferiority in online teaching environment, as well as how self-sufficiency was restored after mentoring. According to the study, effective mentorship can still take place in challenging educational circumstances.
师徒关系是教师发展的重要组成部分。人们普遍认为,在指导方面的大师级才能是能够为新手提供资源,帮助他们成功地进行教育。本研究说明了指导技术如何帮助提高教师在COVID-19期间进行在线教学的动机。根据这项研究,当导师和学员之间有密切的关系、成长的机会和支持的氛围时,学习就会成功。调查在加德满都的一所尼泊尔学校进行。10名来自幼儿园- 10年级的英语教师参与了这项研究。他们在英语系主任和计算机助理的指导下学习了两个月。采用基于联系主义哲学的技术教学与内容知识(TPACK)指导模式。这项研究采用了叙述方法。采用半结构化访谈和专题分析技术生成和分析数据。通过他们的故事,老师们熟悉了网络辅助语言学习(WELL)、移动辅助语言学习(MALL)和计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)的概念。最后,教师们为新教学法制作了融合内容和技术的技术增强教案。为了评估指导在前期、中期和后期的效果,我们进行了深度访谈。研究结果突出了学员面临的困难:在网络教学环境中缺乏自信或自卑感,以及指导后如何恢复自给自足。根据这项研究,有效的指导仍然可以在具有挑战性的教育环境中发生。

This study aimed to explore the English language (EL) teachers’ induction phase in Bangladesh, focusing on the usual practices, challenges they face, and their expectations. Teachers’ induction phase is immensely significant as they make a transition to the teaching profession. Following the qualitative phenomenological approach, qualitative data were collected from six (6) EL teachers working at the primary, secondary, and higher secondary levels across Bangladesh through interviews. The collected data were analysed using the thematic analysis framework as advocated by Braun and Clarke (2006). The key findings included a three-segment teacher recruitment mechanism, absence of pre-service teacher preparation and adequate initial training, varied initial experiences of teachers, no mentoring and observation, limited collaboration, and inadequate opportunity for professional development. Moreover, the findings also revealed that many such teachers are confused regarding their career because of discrepancies between pre-service perceptions and in-service actualities, lack of required support and resources for novice teachers, the significance of teachers’ proactive role in induction, and their confusion about career planing.
本研究旨在探讨孟加拉国英语教师的入职阶段,重点关注他们的常规做法、面临的挑战以及他们的期望。教师入职阶段是教师向教师职业过渡的重要阶段。采用定性现象学方法,通过访谈收集了孟加拉国六名从事小学、中学和高中英语教学的教师的定性数据。收集的数据使用Braun和Clarke(2006)倡导的主题分析框架进行分析。主要发现包括教师招聘机制分为三个阶段,缺乏职前教师准备和充分的初始培训,教师的初始经验各不相同,没有指导和观察,合作有限,专业发展机会不足。此外,调查结果还显示,许多教师在职前认知与在职实际情况不一致、缺乏对新教师所需的支持和资源、教师在入职过程中的积极作用的重要性以及对职业规划的困惑等方面存在职业困惑。

One of the most affected sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic was education. Abrupt and sudden changes in teaching and learning practices that teachers and students experienced were unprecedented, and the effect is still felt today. Hence, the study sought to identify the challenges secondary English language teachers in Bangladesh, Malaysia and Nepal faced during the pandemic. Adopting a Comparative Case Study (CCS) research model, this was a transnational effort to explore the experiences of a cross-border ELT professional community teaching under various restrictions and limitations imposed by the governments in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Five key challenges emerged during the findings, namely: (i) teaching and learning dificulties, (ii) unreliable and invalid assessments, (iii) infrastructural hurdles in a home learning environment, (iv) student displacement, and (v) compromised teacher wellbeing. In retrospect, there was a cause for optimism as teachers acquired crucial survival skills, yet most challenges remain valid to this day. So various stakeholders must remain vigilant and devise robust measures in anticipation of future events of this kind and scale.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,受影响最严重的部门之一是教育。教师和学生所经历的教学实践的突然变化是前所未有的,其影响至今仍然存在。因此,这项研究试图确定孟加拉国、马来西亚和尼泊尔的中学英语教师在疫情期间面临的挑战。本研究采用比较案例研究(CCS)研究模式,旨在探讨在各国政府为应对持续的COVID-19大流行而施加的各种限制和限制下,跨境英语教学专业社区教学的经验。在调查过程中出现了五个关键挑战,即:(i)教学困难,(ii)不可靠和无效的评估,(iii)家庭学习环境中的基础设施障碍,(iv)学生流离失所,以及(v)教师福祉受损。回顾过去,我们有理由感到乐观,因为教师们获得了至关重要的生存技能,但大多数挑战直到今天仍然有效。因此,各利益相关者必须保持警惕,并制定强有力的措施,以预测未来这种类型和规模的事件。

Students are often afraid of writing tasks, regardless of whether they are writing in their own native language or are second language writers. I share examples of my own writing experiences and struggles, and then I argue how writing can be demystifi ed, offering some strategies towards advancing one’s writing skills: understanding writing, doing free writing, identifying writing weaknesses, practicing enormously, visualizing purpose and audience, revising writing, articulating writer’s own voice, obtaining feedback, reflecting on own writing, and embracing mimesis approach. I discuss the strategies drawing on ideas from renowned writing theorists, including Elbow (1998), Harris (2006), Vilardi and Chang (2009), and Adler-Kassner and Wardle (2016), etc. This paper is particularly relevant to early career ELT teachers to understand and demystify the student writing process; however, it might also be helpful for any academic level of students to advance their writing.
学生们经常害怕写作任务,不管他们是用自己的母语写作还是用第二语言写作。我分享了我自己的写作经历和挣扎的例子,然后我讨论了如何让写作变得不神秘,提供了一些提高写作技巧的策略:理解写作,自由写作,识别写作弱点,大量练习,可视化目的和受众,修改写作,清晰表达作者自己的声音,获得反馈,反思自己的写作,以及采用模仿方法。我讨论的策略借鉴了著名写作理论家的观点,包括肘部(1998),哈里斯(2006),维拉迪和张(2009),阿德勒-卡斯纳和沃德尔(2016)等。本文特别与早期职业英语教师了解和揭秘学生写作过程有关;然而,它也可能有助于任何学术水平的学生提高他们的写作。

Since 2016, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has been strong and pervasive, including its roles in business and education. In ELT, in particular, several machine learning models have been implemented such as speech recognition, grammar correction, chatbots, and translation. ELT is in the middle of a rapid and disruptive change and the magnitude of which is paramount that we have never witnessed before. Under this situation, ELT practitioners may have to acquire additional skills and competencies so as to be relevant and thrive in this rapid change and move the field forward to the next level. In this paper, the researcher proposes ELT 3.0, a new vision where working with the machines needs to be incorporated into the existing roles of the ELT teachers.
自2016年以来,人工智能(AI)的发展势头强劲而普遍,包括其在商业和教育中的作用。特别是在英语教学中,已经实现了几种机器学习模型,如语音识别、语法纠正、聊天机器人和翻译。英语教学正处于一场快速而破坏性的变革之中,其规模之大是我们从未见过的。在这种情况下,英语教学从业者可能必须获得额外的技能和能力,以便在这种快速变化中获得相关性和蓬勃发展,并将该领域推向下一个水平。在本文中,研究者提出了英语教学3.0,这是一个新的愿景,在这个愿景中,机器的使用需要融入到英语教学教师的现有角色中。

Nepali English or Other Varieties of English: Perspectives from English Language Teachers in Nepal 尼泊尔英语或其他英语:尼泊尔英语教师的视角

This qualitative content analysis article aims at exploring the perspectives of English language teachers on Nepali English (NE). I purposively selected six college level English language teachers from Sunsari and Morang districts and collected the required data through a semi-structured interview. The study reveals that NE has emerged in Nepal as a result of mother tongue influence, nativization of English to local contexts, and exposure from the non-native teachers during the second language acquisition process, and it is practically more appropriate than other varieties of English in Nepal. All the research participants favour NE as it is more intelligible and easier to teach and learn than the other varieties of English, promotes Nepali identity, boosts confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps to resist the hegemony of British English (BE) or American English (AE). They, however, believe that more research and discourse on NE, its codifi cation and standardization, and power (political, economic, and ideological) are necessary for bringing NE into concrete form. These perspectives from the English language teachers on NE pave the ground for appropriating English language policies, English language curriculum, textbooks, and pedagogy in Nepal, and rethinking the traditional treatment of errors.
这篇定性内容分析文章旨在探讨英语教师对尼泊尔语英语的看法。我有目的地从Sunsari和Morang地区选择了6名大学水平的英语教师,并通过半结构化访谈收集了所需的数据。研究表明,尼泊尔新语的出现是由于母语的影响,英语在当地语境中的本土化,以及在第二语言习得过程中非母语教师的接触,它实际上比尼泊尔其他种类的英语更合适。所有的研究参与者都喜欢尼泊尔语,因为它比其他英语种类更容易理解,更容易教和学,促进尼泊尔人的身份认同,增强信心,减少焦虑,并有助于抵制英国英语(BE)或美国英语(AE)的霸权。然而,他们认为,要使东北民族主义具体化,有必要对东北民族主义、其编纂和标准化以及权力(政治、经济和意识形态)进行更多的研究和论述。尼泊尔英语教师的这些观点为尼泊尔的英语语言政策、英语课程、教科书和教学法的采用以及对传统错误处理方法的反思奠定了基础。

Fundamentals of Academic Writing: A Literature Review 学术写作的基础:文献综述
Pub Date : 2022-12-31 DOI: 10.3126/nelta.v27i1-2.53201
Padam Chauhan
In order to write for academic purposes, all novice ESL and EFL writers must be well-informed about the fundamentals of academic writing (AW) in English. Developing academic writing skills for all students is crucial because they must produce good writing skills to meet the standards of college and university course writing assignments. The typical college and university writing assignments include descriptive writing, analytical writing, persuasive writing, critical writing, and inquiry writing. In the meantime, it is also crucial for them to understand that writing is a recursive process involving various stages, such as generating ideas, outlining, planning, drafting, revising, editing, and sharing. During the writing process, the writers should not only consider the elements of AW, comprising content, organization, purpose and audience, critical thinking, word choice, grammar, and mechanics, but also its basic conventions, including objectivity, formality or style, citation style, simplicity, clarity and conciseness, and genre awareness. Against this background, the primary purpose of this paper is to review the fundamentals of academic writing. The paper fi rst defines AW as an art, science, and craft. It then briefly discusses the main types of writing students must produce as a part of their college and university course assignments. Finally, the paper highlights some key features of research-based writing tasks generally assigned to graduate students, such as reading responses or reaction papers, reflection papers, research papers, and theses and dissertations.
为了写作学术目的,所有ESL和EFL初学者都必须充分了解英语学术写作的基本知识。培养所有学生的学术写作技巧是至关重要的,因为他们必须具备良好的写作技巧,以满足学院和大学课程写作任务的标准。典型的学院和大学写作任务包括描述性写作、分析性写作、说服性写作、批判性写作和探究性写作。同时,对他们来说,理解写作是一个递归的过程也是至关重要的,它涉及到各个阶段,比如产生想法、提纲、计划、起草、修改、编辑和分享。在写作过程中,作者不仅要考虑AW的要素,包括内容、组织、目的和受众、批判性思维、用词、语法和机制,还要考虑AW的基本惯例,包括客观性、形式或风格、引用风格、简单性、清晰性和简洁性以及体裁意识。在此背景下,本文的主要目的是回顾学术写作的基本原理。本文首先将AW定义为一门艺术、科学和工艺。然后简要讨论了作为大学课程作业的一部分,学生必须完成的主要写作类型。最后,本文强调了通常分配给研究生的研究性写作任务的一些关键特征,例如阅读回应或反应论文,反思论文,研究论文以及论文和学位论文。

This research aimed at exploring English teachers’ experience of virtual class in the time of COVID-19 lockdown period in Bhojpur, Nepal. Using narrative inquiry as methodological lens, I collected four secondary level English language teachers’ stories during the first lockdown phase. In-depth interview was conducted to enable the participants to reveal their individual experiences of virtual teaching. The fi ndings revealed negative experiences such as technology related anxiety and mental stress being the absent of basic mastery of ICT in English teachers. The narrations further showed unstable electricity and low speed internet issue, low rate of students’ absence, unavailability of ICT devices as the obstacles fronted by English teachers in the district. The result also displayed positive experiences such as the increase of knowledge and skills in ICT use, and students’ autonomous and mobile learning.
本研究旨在探讨尼泊尔博杰普尔市新冠肺炎疫情封锁期间英语教师的虚拟课堂体验。我以叙事探究为方法论,收集了四名中学英语教师在第一禁闭阶段的故事。我们进行了深度访谈,让参与者透露他们在虚拟教学中的个人体验。调查结果显示,英语教师对信息通信技术缺乏基本的掌握,会产生与技术相关的焦虑和心理压力等负面体验。从叙述中可以看出,电力不稳定、网速慢、学生缺勤率低、信息通信技术设备不可用等是该区英语教师面临的障碍。调查结果还显示出积极的经验,如ICT使用知识和技能的增加,学生的自主学习和移动学习。

The paper is a case study on a whole-term online English teaching practice of non-English major postgraduates from March to July 2020 at Yunnan University in China. By attempting to probe into the strategies employed in the three phases of pre-teaching, while-teaching, and post-teaching respectively, reflections upon the mega-scale online English teaching for 30 classes of approximately 1200 students are analyzed by qualitative research in the forms of online interviews and class video observation. The research aims to summarize useful strategies and key factors teachers need to attach importance to in technology-assisted English language teaching with mixed applications and approaches to meet an urgent need in practical situations. Th e practice can be an example of the effective “localization” of college English teaching in China. It also shows that effectiveness-oriented online teaching can be feasible and useful in shaping and enriching the new normal of foreign language teaching in post COVID-19 era.
本文以云南大学2020年3月至7月非英语专业研究生全学期在线英语教学实践为例进行研究。通过对教学前、教学中、教学后三个阶段所采用的策略的探讨,通过在线访谈和课堂视频观察的定性研究,分析了对30个班级约1200名学生的大规模在线英语教学的思考。本研究旨在总结技术辅助英语教学中教师需要重视的策略和关键因素,以满足实际情况的迫切需要。这一实践可以作为中国大学英语教学“本土化”的有效范例。这也表明,以有效性为导向的网络教学对于塑造和丰富后新冠肺炎时代外语教学新常态具有可行性和实用性。
