Employing a mixed-methods research design, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from EFL teachers and learners in diverse cultural settings. The findings reveal a variety of assessment tasks commonly used, such as written assignments, oral presentations, group discussions, and cultural projects, to evaluate cross-cultural competence. Formative assessment methods, including self-reflection, peer feedback, and teacher-student conferences, were prevalent in assessing cross-cultural understanding. Challenges in cross-cultural assessment include developing culturally sensitive tasks and rubrics, addressing biases in assessment instruments, balancing language proficiency and cultural understanding, and ensuring fairness and inclusivity. Best practices identified include providing clear assessment criteria, incorporating authentic tasks, promoting self-reflection and peer feedback, integrating multiple assessment methods, and offering professional development for teachers. The study emphasizes the positive perceptions of both teachers and learners regarding the effectiveness of cross-cultural assessment in promoting intercultural competence. By addressing these challenges and implementing recommended practices, educators can enhance the quality of EFL education and better prepare learners for effective communication in diverse cultural settings.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993607","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}

Speaking anxiety is a significant challenge faced by EFL learners, hindering their development of fluency and confidence in speaking. However, there is limited understanding of the specific strategies used by EFL learners to cope with and overcome this anxiety in the classroom context. This study adopts a qualitative research design, utilizing interviews and observations to gather in-depth data from EFL learners. The findings reveal a range of strategies employed by participants, including cognitive strategies (positive self-talk, visualization, and reframing anxious thoughts), preparation and practice, a supportive learning environment, gradual exposure and desensitization, and emotional regulation techniques. These strategies contribute to the effective management of speaking anxiety and the promotion of speaking proficiency among EFL learners. The insights from this study provide valuable implications for educators and practitioners, enabling the development of targeted interventions and instructional approaches to support EFL learners in managing their anxiety and enhancing their speaking skills. By addressing speaking anxiety effectively, language teaching and learning practices in the EFL context can be improved, fostering a positive and inclusive environment for EFL learners to develop their speaking abilities with confidence.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993485","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}

Despite their extensive exposure to English media, many Gen Z individuals face challenges in developing their English speaking proficiency. This mixed-methods study employs surveys and qualitative interviews to collect data on the perceived effectiveness of various strategies. The findings highlight the crucial role of technology in English speaking development, with digital language learning applications and online language exchange platforms being recognized as potent tools. Moreover, the study emphasizes the significance of authentic communication experiences, such as role-plays and debates, and the value of peer collaboration in improving English speaking skills. Common challenges identified include time constraints and the influence of informal language use. Consequently, the implications of this research underscore the integration of technology, the promotion of authentic communication, the facilitation of peer collaboration, and the implementation of strategies to address time constraints in English language instruction for Gen Z learners. By adopting these approaches, educators and policymakers can establish engaging learning environments that empower Gen Z learners to thrive in our interconnected society.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135993487","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}

Reading comprehension is a vital component of the English education curriculum, as it enables students to comprehend and analyze texts effectively. To conduct this study, a descriptive strategy was employed in combination with a qualitative approach. The questionnaire was designed to identify common challenges encountered by students, including difficulties in text translation, enhancing motivation, and the teaching methods employed by instructors. Data was collected through interview sessions, questionnaire responses, and documentation. The findings revealed that students predominantly struggled with sentence comprehension. By addressing these issues and fostering a desire to read, related challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar proficiency, and sentence interpretation can be effectively tackled. Moreover, some students faced difficulties arising from inadequate teaching methods employed by their instructors. Consequently, this study concludes that students' reading difficulties primarily revolve around understanding the text itself, which in turn leads to other complications such as grammar mastery, vocabulary limitations, and text translation problems. These factors emerge from both students themselves and the instructional approaches adopted by their teachers.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124372373","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 process of choosing, concentrating, streamlining, abstracting, and changing the information found in the study's field notes and transcripts is sometimes referred to as the data gathering procedure. In parallel with the data collection method, data analysis was done. Out of the 18 methods based on Molina and Albir (2002), researchers can conclude that eight types of strategies are obtained from 47 data found in the translation of the lyrics to Taylor Swift's song \"Anti-Hero.\"The strategies found include; Amplification (15 data) 32%, Borrowing (5 data) 11%, Calque (1 data) 2%, Discursive creation (1 data) 2%, Establish equivalence (11 data) 23%, literal translation (10 data) 21% and reduction (4 data) 9%. It was found that the type of amplification translation strategy was the strategy that appeared the most with a percentage of 32% of all translation techniques found so that it became the most dominant type of translation used by translators in lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero'. While the strategies of calque and discursive creation were the fewest translation strategies with a percentage of 2% in the translation of the lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero' from all the strategies found.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129898466","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}
