Critical pedagogy practices are rarely followed in the traditional English Language Teaching (ELT) classes in which the focus is on transmitting knowledge to the learners, rather than transforming it. This study is an attempt to explore teachers’ experiences in and their perceptions of the existing practices of critical pedagogy and on its usefulness in ELT classrooms. This is qualitative research in which phenomenological research design was adopted to accomplish this study. Six respondents were selected from three secondary schools of Kathmandu district as a sample through a purposive non-random sampling procedure. In-depth-interview was used as a tool to assemble the required data to answer the research questions of this study. The findings of the study show that the ELT classroom in the district is teacher-directed but not learner-centered; the textbooks, teaching strategies, and methods are partially focused on marginalized groups and underprivileged learners. The ELT practices at the secondary level do not address multiple intelligences; and critical pedagogy is not adopted for the elevation of the marginalized learners though the teachers are aware of its usefulness.
在传统的英语教学中,批判教学法的实践很少被采用,因为传统的英语教学注重的是向学习者传递知识,而不是转化知识。本研究旨在探讨教师对现有批判教学法实践的经验和看法,以及批判教学法在英语教学课堂中的实用性。本研究为质性研究,采用现象学研究设计来完成本研究。通过有目的的非随机抽样程序,从加德满都地区的三所中学中选择了六名受访者作为样本。采用深度访谈作为工具,收集所需的数据来回答本研究的研究问题。研究结果表明:该地区的英语教学以教师为主导,以学生为中心;教科书、教学策略和方法部分侧重于边缘群体和贫困学习者。中学阶段的英语教学实践不涉及多元智能;尽管教师意识到批判性教学法的有用性,但它并没有被用于边缘化学习者的提升。

COVID - 19 pandemic has detrimental impacts on the educational sector along with many other areas of human life. Virtual learning, though not a new topic, has occupied huge space in current pedagogical discourse. However, it has been criticized for exacerbating inequalities between well-resourced and under-resourced people, institutions and geographical location. In this scenario, we propose self-regulated learning as a viable solution to avert the learning gap during possible crises in the future. In this article, we explored how empowered are the learners for carrying out self-regulated learning. This qualitative study in which data were elicited through three focus group discussions with 15 ELT teachers revealed that the students having a lack of sufficient knowledge and skill for continuing learning in the absence of a teacher, indicated to the possible discontinuation of learning during the school closure circumstanced by COVID- 19 pandemic.
COVID - 19大流行对教育部门以及人类生活的许多其他领域产生了不利影响。虚拟学习虽然不是一个新话题,但在当前的教学话语中占据了巨大的空间。然而,人们批评它加剧了资源充足和资源不足的人、机构和地理位置之间的不平等。在这种情况下,我们提出自我调节学习作为一种可行的解决方案,以避免未来可能出现的危机期间的学习差距。在本文中,我们探讨了如何授权学习者进行自我调节学习。这项定性研究通过与15名英语教师进行三次焦点小组讨论得出数据,结果显示,在没有教师的情况下,学生缺乏足够的知识和技能来继续学习,这表明在COVID- 19大流行的情况下,学校关闭期间可能会中断学习。

This study is an attempt to identify the difficulties in the use of the preposition combinations and analyze the causes of errors made by the Engineering students while writing. The subjects of the study comprised of 60 randomly selected first-year students from two engineering colleges located in Tirunelveli city, and they were asked to write an essay. To analyze the collected data, descriptive methods were used. The results show that the Engineering students made errors in the use of prepositions after nouns, verbs, and adjectives due to the mother tongue interference and ignorance of rules. The researchers recommended that the teachers should make an attempt to provide more exposure to the learners to use these combinations and actively engage them through various consciousness-raising activities. Teachers should highlight the collocation rules while teaching; the students will get exposure to collocation in their writing and speaking.
本研究旨在找出工科学生在使用介词组合时所遇到的困难,并分析其在写作中出现错误的原因。这项研究的对象是60名随机选择的一年级学生,他们来自位于蒂鲁内veli市的两所工程学院,他们被要求写一篇文章。采用描述性方法对收集到的数据进行分析。结果表明,工科学生在名词、动词、形容词后介词的使用上存在一定的错误,主要是由于母语的干扰和对规则的无知。研究人员建议,教师应该尝试为学习者提供更多的机会,让他们使用这些组合,并通过各种提高意识的活动积极地吸引他们。教师在教学中应突出搭配规律;学生将在写作和口语中接触到搭配。

Promoting critical thinking among students has been a topic for extensive study for a long time. However, this is quite a new area of exploration and investigation in the Bangladeshi EFL context. This paper explores whether classroom activities on culture can work as effective incentives in promoting critical thinking in Bangladeshi tertiary level English language classes. Cultural topics were designed for the tertiary level English class and used accordingly for critical thinking in a class of 36 students in a private university of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Classwork and home assignments on different cultural topics were evaluated against a rubric of critical thinking, and at the end of the semester, an open-ended discussion-based interview was conducted. The gradual development of critical thinking among students was observed from the data gathered from both classes and interviews. Finally, the author presents implications for the EFL instructors, course designers, and book writers regarding the modifications required in the topics and teaching style to promote the development of critical thinking among the Bangladeshi tertiary level EFL students.
长期以来,培养学生的批判性思维一直是一个广泛研究的课题。然而,在孟加拉语的英语语境中,这是一个相当新的探索和研究领域。本文探讨了文化课堂活动是否可以作为有效的激励措施,促进孟加拉国高等教育英语课堂的批判性思维。文化主题是为孟加拉国达卡一所私立大学的三级英语课程设计的,并相应地用于36名学生的批判性思维。不同文化主题的课堂作业和家庭作业在批判性思维的指导下进行评估,在学期结束时,进行了一次开放式的讨论访谈。从课堂和访谈中收集的数据可以看出学生批判性思维的逐渐发展。最后,作者对英语教师、课程设计师和书籍作者提出了一些建议,建议他们在主题和教学风格方面进行修改,以促进孟加拉国高等教育英语学生批判性思维的发展。

Teacher-educators’ TPACK profile suggests whether and/or to what extent they can help future teachers to develop competencies required to teach with technology. However, teachers-educators’ digital competencies are not well understood because of the limited number of research studies. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the Nepali teacher-educators’ competencies in the use of educational technology. The study collected data from 153 teacher educators from 63 teacher education campuses in Nepal using a TPACK questionnaire combined with an ICT confidence survey. The findings reveal that teacher educators were more confident about their pedagogical knowledge (PK) and content knowledge (CK) than their technological knowledge (TK) and technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). The findings suggest that the teacher educators lacked competencies to teach and to demonstrate technology integration in educational practice. The implication of this finding is that pre-service teachers will miss the opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge required to use technology in their future practice.
教师教育工作者的TPACK档案表明,他们是否和/或在多大程度上可以帮助未来的教师培养使用技术教学所需的能力。然而,由于研究数量有限,教师-教育工作者的数字能力并没有得到很好的理解。本研究通过深入了解尼泊尔教师教育工作者在使用教育技术方面的能力,为现有的知识体系做出了贡献。该研究利用TPACK问卷和ICT信心调查,从尼泊尔63个教师教育校园的153名教师教育工作者那里收集了数据。研究结果显示,教师教育工作者对自己的教学知识(PK)和内容知识(CK)的信心高于对自己的技术知识(TK)和技术、教学和内容知识(TPACK)的信心。研究结果表明,教师教育工作者缺乏教学能力和在教育实践中展示技术整合的能力。这一发现的含义是,职前教师将失去获得在未来实践中使用技术所需的技能和知识的机会。

Providing ‘quality education’ through English is a challenge for the prestige and survival of private schools in Nepal. In this background, a private school in Kathamandu, having realized that its content-subject teachers had to be better-equipped with the classroom-based English language proficiency, offered the researcher to conduct a short-term teacher training program on ‘teacher English’ for them. With a view to preparing for the short-term ‘training course’, the researcher undertook to investigate the current status of the affairs. The present article reports on an observational case study, informed by the grounded theory methods, on the usual classroom teachings performed by nine content-subject teachers at the school. The major functions of the ‘teacher English’ served as the basis for the thematic analysis of the data. As the findings of the study, fifteen classroom functions of the ‘teacher English’, were identified, namely, greeting, introducing the lesson and lesson activities, defining, checking understanding, asking, instructing, giving feedback, encouraging, controlling, personalizing/labelling, asking for and giving permission, cautioning, thanking, attracting attention and closing the lesson. Finally, the study recommended that the forthcoming teacher training should target at these functions of teaching English with a view to building on and improving their classroom English.

Application of Multiliteracies Pedagogy in Teaching English at Early Grades in Nepal 多元语文教学法在尼泊尔小学低年级英语教学中的应用
Pub Date : 2020-12-31 DOI: 10.3126/nelta.v25i1-2.49733
N. Ghimire
The purpose of the study was to explore practices of the teachers in teaching English at early grade through multiliteracies pedagogy in Nepal. The study was conducted in a community school in the central hilly district by adopting a critical ethnography research design in order to capture the rich and in-depth ideas of three teachers at early grade through ‘in-depth interviewing’. Interviews were audio-recorded, recorded data were transcribed assigning codes and three main themes were developed in terms of the codes during the data analysis process. The findings exposed that the teachers have engaged in bilingual practice using Nepali and English languages instead of creating multilingual space using students’ home language even if they belong to various ethnic groups such as Majhi, Danuwar, Tamang, Magar, and Newar. They have been adopting print literacy as teaching-learning practice such as reading the textbooks and asking the students to write the exercises of the textbook but they rarely use modern technology based multi-modal literacy. The school administration needs to be conscious to apply multiliteracies pedagogy by strengthening the capacity of the teachers on it. Likewise, the school has to establish a basic ICT lab with an internet facility enhancing teachers’ skills to use it appropriately.
摘要本研究旨在探讨尼泊尔教师运用多元文化教学法进行小学低年级英语教学的实践。本研究在中部丘陵地区的一所社区学校进行,采用批判性民族志研究设计,通过“深度访谈”来捕捉三名初年级教师丰富而深入的想法。对访谈进行录音,对记录的数据进行转录,并分配代码,在数据分析过程中,根据代码制定了三个主要主题。研究发现,即使学生属于Majhi、Danuwar、Tamang、Magar和Newar等不同民族,教师也会使用尼泊尔语和英语进行双语练习,而不是使用学生的母语创造多语言空间。他们一直采用文字素养作为教学实践,如阅读教科书,要求学生写教科书的练习,但很少使用现代技术为基础的多模态素养。学校管理需要自觉地运用多元素养教学法,加强教师的多元素养教学能力。同样,学校必须建立一个基本的ICT实验室,配备互联网设备,以提高教师正确使用互联网的技能。

Students’ and parents’ attitude towards the SEE English test 学生和家长对SEE英语考试的态度
Pub Date : 2019-11-30 DOI: 10.3126/nelta.v24i1-2.27677

This paper reports on a study that explored students’ and their parents’ attitudes towards the fairness and accuracy of the Secondary Education Examination (SEE) English testa high stakes test in the Nepalese context. It is most probably the first empirical study that has extensively explored this area. The data generated through a longitudinal survey among 247 SEE candidates and semi-structured interviews with six students and their parents in both the pre-test and post-test contexts indicates that students had mostly positive attitudes towards the test fairness and its accuracy in the pre-test context but mostly negative attitudes in the post-test context. However, parents had mostly negative attitudes towards the test in both contexts. Both students and their parents raised questions regarding the accuracy and fairness of the listening and speaking test in the post-test context. Having collected both the qualitative and quantitative data, this study has gained a comprehensive picture of the complexity of the test impacts within the Nepalese educational context, as perceived by students and their parents. The implications of the study have also been highlighted.
本文报告了一项研究,探讨了学生和家长对尼泊尔中学教育考试(SEE)英语考试高风险测试的公平性和准确性的态度。这很可能是第一个广泛探索这一领域的实证研究。通过对247名SEE考生的纵向调查和对6名学生及其家长在测试前和测试后的半结构化访谈得出的数据表明,学生在测试前对测试公平及其准确性的态度大多是积极的,而在测试后对测试公平及其准确性的态度大多是消极的。然而,在这两种情况下,家长对测试的态度大多是消极的。学生和家长在测试后都对听力和口语测试的准确性和公平性提出了质疑。在收集了定性和定量数据后,本研究获得了尼泊尔教育背景下测试影响复杂性的全面图景,正如学生及其家长所感知的那样。这项研究的意义也得到了强调。

The implications of the study have also been highlighted.","PeriodicalId":416929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nelta","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115359065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of pre-service teachers’ ICT training during teacher education course is often linked with the teacher educators’ (TEs’) practices. TEs’ digital practices, however, are under-studied, thus, are not fully understood. This study, which draws on the theoretical tenets of Activity Theory, reports on the factors that limit TEs’ digital practices in a context where technology use has just begun to evolve. Using a multi-method case study, this study collected data from EFL TEs and policymakers. The analyses of the policy data and interviews reveal that multiple factors constrain TEs’ digital practices. A key finding of the study is that factors related to ICT policies, training for TEs and resources hindered the use of technology by TEs. Implications of these are discussed.
教师教育课程中职前教师信息通信技术培训的有效性往往与教师教育工作者的实践有关。然而,TEs的数字化实践尚未得到充分研究,因此尚未得到充分理解。这项研究借鉴了活动理论的理论原则,报告了在技术使用刚刚开始发展的背景下,限制TEs数字化实践的因素。本研究采用多方法案例研究,收集了来自英语教师和政策制定者的数据。对政策数据和访谈的分析表明,多种因素制约了TEs的数字化实践。这项研究的一项重要发现是,与信息和通信技术政策、专业技术人员培训和资源有关的因素阻碍了专业技术人员使用技术。讨论了这些影响。
