Abstract

Web 2.0 tools, which enable the preparation of many visual, auditory materials that can make teaching fun and multidimensional, have become a great helper for foreign language teachers. In this study, a survey was conducted with 80 Arabic teachers reached by convenient sampling method to measure the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools, their perceptions of professional competence in using these tools, their perceptions of using these tools in teaching vocabulary and the frequency of their use of these tools. Then, the obtained data were interpreted by using descriptive analysis method and comparative analysis tests. Because of the research, it was seen that the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools were very positive. Moreover, the effect of demographic data on the above-mentioned perceptions was examined and no significant difference was observed in the perceptions of Arabic teachers towards Web 2.0 tools in terms of gender, grade taught, and department graduated. However, a significant difference was observed in terms of age variable. In this regard, according to the results of the research, it was seen that young teachers' perceptions of professional competence to use Web 2.0 tools and the frequency of using Web 2.0 tools were higher than older participants.

阿拉伯语教师对使用Web 2.0工具进行词汇教学的看法

Web 2.0工具可以制作许多视觉、听觉材料，使教学变得有趣和多维，已经成为外语教师的一大帮手。本研究采用方便抽样的方法，对80名阿拉伯语教师进行了调查，以衡量阿拉伯语教师对Web 2.0工具的看法、他们对使用这些工具的专业能力的看法、他们对在词汇教学中使用这些工具的看法以及他们使用这些工具的频率。然后，采用描述性分析方法和比较分析检验对所得数据进行解释。由于这项研究，我们发现阿拉伯语教师对Web 2.0工具的看法是非常积极的。此外，我们也检视了人口统计资料对上述认知的影响，发现阿拉伯语教师对Web 2.0工具的认知在性别、教年级和系毕业方面没有显著差异。然而，在年龄变量方面观察到显著差异。在这方面，根据研究结果，青年教师对使用Web 2.0工具的专业能力的感知和使用Web 2.0工具的频率高于年长的参与者。

期刊介绍： The main focus of the Journal is on research done on language learning and teaching. We are in particular interested in research papers on L2 education (in particular EFL/ESL), in public and private contexts, in natural and classroom settings as well as in a variety of levels including school level, university level, institute level, etc. The Journal welcomes papers on teaching and learning any component of language, including skills and sub-skills, as well as teaching/learning translation, literature, etc. Research on the use of new technologies such as CALL and MALL for teaching/learning languages is also considered appropriate for this Journal. Although the focus is primarily on research on language education, we will also consider papers in other areas of applied linguistics such as language testing as far as they have clear implications for language teaching/learning. Reviews of literature are not acceptable for this Journal; however, status papers by experts in the field are called for as long as explicit implications are drawn in favour of language teaching and learning. Reviews of recently published books on language education are also accepted for publication. Contributors are advised to consult the Journal office before doing/sending a book review.
