This article explores the use of ecolinguistics in the education of young people. The analysis focuses on young people’s media, specifically focusing on films. Two children’s movies (The Lorax and Back to the Outback) are analyzed using the ecolinguistic concept of stories we live by and the ecojustice concept of intersectionality. This analysis is undertaken to explicate these concepts in the hope that others will employ these same concepts to analyze other texts. These example analyses are explained about classroom practice and generating “noticing” as a learning outcome. Finally, five further techniques for involving students and others in ecolinguistic and ecojustice analysis are described. This article gives important insight into practical tools that can benefit teachers and students in the classroom. Additionally, children’s films and other media developed for children and youths may also be useful for the enjoyment and education of adults.","PeriodicalId":31957,"journal":{"name":"LLT Journal A Journal on Language and Language Teaching","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351682","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}

There were 200 university students and 9 lecturers of English Language Education in the research setting as the participants. The study found that the university students’ level was mildly anxious or indicated a moderate level of anxiety. Meanwhile, the lecturers’ anxiety level was very relaxed or indicated as low anxiety level. From the results, it can be concluded that most of university students did not feel afraid and happy. Meanwhile, the lecturers felt joy in teaching and learning English during the emergency remote teaching.","PeriodicalId":31957,"journal":{"name":"LLT Journal A Journal on Language and Language Teaching","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351367","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}

Diamantopoulou and Ørevik (2022) have conflated sheer studies from various distinguished authors providing ‘fresh’ outlooks of the use of multimodality, particularly in English as an additional language (EAL) context across the globe. The use of multimodality in EAL is concisely discussed from various lenses, from its salient perspectives, and pedagogical practices through assessments. Thus, this book is recommended to those who are concerned and willing to capture the latest trajectories of the use of multimodality pertaining to EAL by its par excellence as well as the matter at hand.

However, there have been concerns that such tutoring, which employs a more able learner to assist lower-level ones, may hinder learner autonomy. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid specifically to this issue. With this in mind, this preliminary qualitative study examines whether or not peer teaching can help foster EFL students’ autonomy in isolated grammar learning (focus on forms) at the tertiary level based on the students’ reports. This study is imperative as peer teaching is often implemented in universities and grammar competence is crucial to effective communication. In addition, besides enhancing the acquisition of grammar competence through noticing, explicit knowledge of grammar is necessary for the student’s future careers as English language professionals. A questionnaire and interviews were used to collect data from 29 survey participants and 11 interviewees, all of whom had just taken grammar courses and joined a peer tutoring program. The students’ responses show that peer teaching can promote their learning autonomy. Most students reportedly performed various activities that enhanced autonomous learning during their peer teaching. In addition, the participants also believed that the teaching method assisted them with their ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate their grammar learning. Here, learning motivation, subject understanding, problem-solving skills, as well as monitoring and evaluating skills were reported to have specifically improved from the tutoring. Despite this positive outcome, peer teaching did not seem to improve the autonomy of some students, especially the less able ones, in the areas of knowledge construction, provision of self-study materials, and frequency of grammar self-study.","PeriodicalId":31957,"journal":{"name":"LLT Journal A Journal on Language and Language Teaching","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43807697","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 is possible to conclude that The Ha (Alternative) Hypothesis was established hence the paired samples test result carried out with SPSS performed that the sig. rating on the value obtained from the T-test was lower than Sig. value, so theory Y assumptions (Ha) were approved, and both the pilot testing and post-intervention results of the study demonstrated Sig.
