Errors in each group’s drafts and revisions were statistically analyzed based on the error types and feedback methods. The findings of the study are as follows: 1) Overall learners’ writing accuracy and fluency analyzed by tokens and error rate after revision show a significant improvement. 2) Detailed error analysis on narrative writing indicates that in the draft, the error types related to verbs (particularly past tense) are more frequent than others, but in the revisions, the correction activity using feedback shows a positive effect on error types relevant to verbs, one of treatable errors. 3) Students with better English proficiency, given more explicit “coded” feedback, can significantly reduce error rates in both drafts and revisions. This suggests teachers to consider troublesome error types as well as feedback methods when giving error feedback to EFL writers.","PeriodicalId":160519,"journal":{"name":"The English Teachers Association in Korea","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128310106","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 purpose of the study is to find out the frequency of teacher question types and also, the influence of EFL teachers’ questioning language, English or Chinese, on students’ output in EFL classes. The participants in this study are five university teachers and 168 students in China. The study adopts mixed research methods: quantitative and qualitative methods. Classroom observation and questionnaires are used to collect the data with the help of online software Questionnaire Star. Cross-coding analysis was carried out. It is found that questions for comprehension check, display questions, and referential questions are widely used in EFL classrooms in China. Different question types have different functions and advantages, so it is suggested that EFL teachers use appropriate question types with awareness. Also, teacher questions using English results in higher English output from the students compared to questions asked in Chinese. Therefore, it is suggested that more English questions be used in EFL classroom instead of the students` mother tougue. Also, in-service teacher training on teacher questions is recommended.","PeriodicalId":160519,"journal":{"name":"The English Teachers Association in Korea","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114373465","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}

Online surveys, teacher logs, and interview results were analyzed to examine the changes in teacher efficacy. Online surveys based on Kwon's (2017) teaching efficacy scale were conducted before and after the tutoring program. The teaching efficacy scale consisted of the following constructs: motivational strategy, practice and feedback, material development and utilization, explanation and questioning, and encouragement of self-directed learning. In addition, follow-up interviews were conducted with each teacher and transcribed. A deductive coding scheme was developed based on the teaching efficacy constructs, and the interview transcripts were repeatedly read and coded according to the scheme. The results indicated that teaching experience improved the efficacy of pre-service English language teachers. Teacher efficacy improved when teachers enhanced their learners' motivation and achievement using appropriate teaching strategies and learning materials. Enactive experiences were the most influential factor in teacher efficacy. On the contrary, teacher efficacy decreased because of the difficulty in communicating with students and providing feedback in speaking activities. This result implies that it is important to learn how pre-service teachers can increase learners’ motivation and their self-efficacy by practicing it through teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":160519,"journal":{"name":"The English Teachers Association in Korea","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128396062","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}

While reading Kashmira Sheth’s Keeping Corner, a story of a young Indian girl navigating her life as a widow, they were invited to build their own intercultural understanding through participating in various critical literacy activities. Employing a qualitative research method, this study analyzes the texts that they produced during the class. The findings reveal that through self-reflexivity they were able to move beyond a surfacelevel conceptualization of culture usually represented as specific artifacts or traditional practices and then recognize the dynamic factors that play a role in constructing their cultural identities. In addition, they were able to make personal, local, and global relevance and significance and thereby identify some issues that local and global communities are currently facing. Although many raised their awareness on global citizenship by deconstructing the self-other dichotomy and recognizing multifaceted aspects of one’s lived experience, the study also identifies some challenges in unraveling deeply rooted ideologies and superiority, as well as apathy toward local and global relevance and significance in a one-semester course. Finally, this study calls for more integration of global citizenship education into teacher education programs.","PeriodicalId":160519,"journal":{"name":"The English Teachers Association in Korea","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121545642","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 results were as follows. First, asynchronous online English classes were found to be effective in improving the students’ English achievement. Second, asynchronous online English classes were effective in improving the students’ self-directed learning ability. Third, among the seven factors of self-directed learning ability, the students showed more improvement in three factors, ‘original approach’, ‘voluntary planning’, ‘inquisitive nature’, which showed a statistical difference between pre- and post-test. Fourth, there was a correlation between students’ English achievement and self-directed learning ability. However, among the seven factors, only ‘original approach’ was correlated with English achievement. This study helps teachers to understand how learners’ self-directed learning works in asynchronous online English classes. Through the study, it is concluded that asynchronous online English classes can be effective in college students’ self-directed learning abilities and English learning.

Also, it was very limited in the case of the school level or the subject where GCED was practiced, and in particular, the response to the high school English education could not be confirmed. Second, most students expected their needs to be reflected in the composition of the high school English curriculum and the production of English textbooks. In addition, there was a clear desire from students to reflect GCED-related contents and materials in the composition of the high school English curriculum and English textbook production.

When the course was finished, this study conducted a post-semester survey to examine the effects of using the App. As a result, first, this study found that participants had the attitudes of being repetitive and steady, self-directed, and willing to use spare time for learning English. Second, this study found that the App helped to improve participants’ motivation, confidence, and interests. The results also showed that the App helped students with their English reading, listening, vocabulary and expressions, understanding of sentences, and English conversation skills well.
