There is a shortage of research in Jordan that investigates demotivating variables impacting learning English among Jordanian undergraduate students. As a result, the purpose of this research is to look at the elements that influence Jordanian undergraduate students' acquisition of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The data was collected using a questionnaire adapted from Sakai and Kikuchi (2009). The survey comprised 35 questions on a five Point likert scale about six demotivation factors: class characteristics, teacher attitude, course contents and teaching materials, effects of poor grades, classroom atmosphere, and lack of self-confidence and interest. This study's sample included 110 undergraduate students from the faculty of arts at Zarqa University in Jordan. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The data showed that classroom environment is the most demotivating elements impacting Jordanian undergraduate students' EFL learning, while lack of self-confidence and interest were the least demotivating factors. As a result, further research into this topic is strongly suggested in order to acquire a better knowledge and deeper insights into this issue in order to aid ESL/EFL learners in learning English.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86094781","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}

It also attempted to identify EFL teachers and students' reasons for using CS in teaching and learning English in Saudi high schools. The sample of the study consisted of 100 teachers and 122 students who were randomly selected from secondary schools in the city of Riyadh. The data of the study were collected via a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Moreover, this instrument was validated by ten university EFL professors, and its reliability was achieved by calculating Cronbach Alpha formula. The findings of the study revealed that teachers and students believed that CS was an effective strategy in helping students to understand unfamiliar topics, facilitating students’ learning of new grammatical structures, increasing student-teacher interaction, and enlivening the atmosphere of the class. Finally, teachers and students agreed that the most important reasons behind using CS were increasing comprehension, avoiding misunderstanding, eliciting better responses from students, and filling gaps in a classroom conversation.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83449892","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}

All adults should have pleasant memories with these books during their early childhood. These memories make these tales enjoyable for children and adults, as all adults consider reading these books a part of the nostalgia for these past peaceful and cheerful days. On the other hand, many studies proved the passive and hazardous impacts of fairy tales' implicit themes and hidden messages. For instance, these themes heavily influenced the stereotyping of feminine roles in society. Furthermore, these books enhanced the gender roles with the advantage of the masculine, active role. Throughout the wide range of these books, the readers can quickly identify male characters as saviors, supporters, and always positioned in the center of the women's life. Moreover, the traditional happy ending should be associated with the marriage of the rich and handsome prince/ gentleman. The author will examine the portrayal of the prominent female characters in selected traditional fairy tales to shed light on the concept of \"objectification\" as a central concept in structuring these characters by making them passive, helpless, and naïve. Accordingly, these portrayals served to present these female characters as mere objects to satisfy the sexual and psychological fantasies of men.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87209473","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 main objective of our research was to find out the perception of the competences acquired after Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) teaching among the students of a subject of the Master's Degree in Teacher Training, specialising in Physical Education (PE), at the University of Granada. The second objective was to analyse this information in order to establish improvements in the subject. To evaluate this study, 5 semi-structured interviews were conducted at the end of the course. After a first overall analysis of the interviews, the main categories that emerged were the improvement of language and teaching competences both at the macro-level in relation to the subject in general and at the micro-level in relation to their performance and to the practical PE session. The present research has already contributed to improving the organisation of the subject and improvements have been made, such as establishing the role of the PE teacher individually and restructuring the role of the organisation of the subject.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86603718","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 following hypotheses will guide our research: (H1) that original thinking is not included in the prescribed syllabus at the graduate level; and (H2) that Paul's E&S of critical thinking can promote creative writing skills among graduate Arab learners in the Department of English & Translation at Ar Rass, Qassim University. Both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used by the researchers in this study with a cross-sectional design. Quantitative analysis was performed on a total of two hundred forty (240) research papers. Twelve instructors from the English and Translation Department at Qassim University's Ar Rass campus contributed the descriptive information that was used. A Paired Samples t-test was carried out for the purpose of investigating the hypotheses. The null hypothesis was validated using the p 0.05 threshold of significance. This entails that the curriculum for the Bachelor of Arts degree must include some forms of innovative problem solving. The second hypothesis was validated using the p0.05 and p0.01 thresholds of significance, respectively. That is to say, Paul's E&S line of thinking can be included into Research Writing in order to nurture and support students' creative thinking.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86693247","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}

Studies on how strategic teaching improves students’ writing ability were limited, resulting in significant gaps in the declarative and procedural knowledge of writing among university freshmen. To address this gap, this study was conducted to examine the effects of strategy instruction and strategy-based writing instruction on students' writing based on several parameters: content, organization, language, citation, idea, revision, modification, replacement, plagiarism, and creativity on students' writing ability. This experimental study involved 100 students majoring English Education at the State University of Malang. The results of the ANCOVA test on all dependent variables showed a significant effect on idea construction in both control and experimental group. This study revealed that SBI and SI positively affected students' writing ability, making them regarded as effective methods in teaching writing.","PeriodicalId":31813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Research","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85869325","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}
