<p>The ways in which task in classrooms has developed and proceeded have receive great attention in the field of language teaching and learning in the sense that they draw attention of learners to the competing features such as accuracy, fluency, and complexity. English audiovisual and audio recorded materials have been widely used by teachers and students, and have been the important resources of teaching and self-study. Nowadays, the environment we are living in is abundant with audio visual input and we as teachers ,thus, should be aware of the fact that environment can change students’ behavior towards language and language learning .What effects do these materials have on English speaking ability? The objective of this study is to find out whether there is difference in Iranian EFL learners’ accuracy in both audiovisual recorded (videos, movies ,etc.) and audio recorded tasks. For this purpose, 40 students of intermediate level were chosen and then were randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups each of which was under different listening tasks. (Audio visual- and audio only). Data analysis showed that the group which was trained under AV listening tasks showed different effects on students’ accuracy, compared to the other group positioned using audio recorded. Based on the results of this study, it is imperative that teachers consider the types of activities and methods that can have influence over language learners’ speaking ability.</p>

Despite extensive research into academic vocabulary in university student writing, little is known about academic vocabulary in international foundation-level students’ assessed academic writing. Considering that academic vocabulary is regarded as a key element of academic writing style and written assignments are one of the main forms of assessment in university contexts, this is an important omission. This study addresses this gap by employing a corpus-based approach to investigate the development of academic vocabulary in assessed academic writing produced by international students (N=193) in a foundation(gateway) programme over an academic year in the context of a British university based in England and its overseas campuses in the United Arab Emirates and Mauritius. The findings show an increase in the usage of academic vocabulary over the course of the foundation programme and highlight the impact of the assignment topic and brief.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a digital storytelling-based program on the development of geographical concepts among kindergarten children. Eighty-eight kindergarten children were recruited from two public kindergarten schools in Al Fayoum city, during the academic year 2020-2021. A semi-experimental, prepost- test, two groups (experimental and control) design was employed. The data were analysed using t-test to explore the effectiveness of a digital storytelling-based program on the development of geographical concepts among kindergarten children. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the children of the experimental and control groups using the Pictured Geographical Concepts Scale (sub-scales and composite score) in the post-test, after applying the digital storytelling-based program, which is in favour of the experimental group.

Collaborative Concept Mapping

The present study attempted to investigate the possible impacts of Individual Concept Mapping (ICM) and Collaborative Concept Mapping (CCM) strategies on Iranian EFL learners' reading comprehension. For this purpose, 90 pre-intermediate female language learners ranged between 12 to 17 years of age were selected to randomly assign into ICM, CCM and Control groups in this study. After taking Key English Test (KET), the ICM and CCM groups received EFL reading materials presented and practiced with ICM and CCM strategies, respectively, while the Control group received only conventional instructions to reading comprehension. After conducting the treatment, all participants took a Concept Mapping post-test constructed by the researchers. The hypothetical assumptions in this study were in favor of ICM and CCM strategies to improve the Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension. Statistics supported the outperformance of the ICM and CCM groups comparing to Control group who received convention PPP teaching techniques on Concept Mapping post-test. However, the superiority of neither strategies was statistically proved so that no meaningful difference between the reading comprehension of the ICM and CCM groups were detected. Therefore, the researchers failed to determine which strategy caused a better or higher impact. Some pedagogical implications and recommended topics for further research were provided to the motivated researchers.

In this paper I introduce a teaching approach with the aim to improve English language learners’ sense of agency by leading small group discussions. I attempt to demonstrate that by giving students a greater amount of freedom and control over the content of their discussions, their capacity to communicate can improve. This approach was implemented in two 2nd-year English classes at a public university in Japan during the 2018-2019 academic year. In these classes, students regularly presented news articles related to topics they wanted to discuss and led a group of classmates in a discussion of their topic using their own discussion questions. I address how this learning approach was implemented, including guidance for article selection, presentation, and discussion leadership. I conclude with a discussion of the efficacy of this approach based on feedback from a student survey. 本論では、少人数で構成されたグループディスカッションを進めることにより、学習者の主体性の発達を目的とした指導方法を紹介する。学生自身が議論の内容、どのように議論を進めるかを自由に決めることにより、学生のコミュニケーション能力の改善を論証することを試みている。この指導方法は、2018年から2019年に日本の国立大学の2年生を対象とした2つの授業で実践され、これらの授業の中では、各学生が議論したいトピックに関連したニュース記事をグループ内で発表し、議論をしたい質問項目を選び、その質問をもとにディスカッションを進めた。本論では、学生が適切な記事の選択をするように導くための指導方法や、プレゼンテーションの方法、議論の進め方、評価方法など、この学習方法が実際の授業でどのように実践されたかを説明する。この方法の効果は、授業を受講した学生へのアンケート調査による評価をもとに結論づけている。
