Teacher beliefs are significant subjects in teacher education that have been designed to help teachers develop their thought and principles. Teachers’ beliefs have a deep impact on their classroom principles. However, facts show that many of what teachers believe fail to be implemented in real teaching activities due to some reasons. This study examines teachers involved in ESP teaching for Airlines Staff at pre-service airlines schools in Indonesian setting. This study aims at (1) knowing teachers’ beliefs in ESP teaching, (2) knowing whether what teacher’s beliefs are implemented in real ESP teaching for airlines staff, (3) knowing teachers’ recommendations for the improvement of the ESP teaching for airlines staff.This study employs qualitative research design. The research data are collected using open ended questionnaire. The collected data are analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing phases. The results of this research indicate that ESP for airlines staff applied in pre-service airlines training schools is still in line with the teachers’ expectations. The recommendations given by the teachers are based on their beliefs in the features or criteria of an ideal or good pre-service training school in ESP teaching for airlines staff.","PeriodicalId":33592,"journal":{"name":"Research and Innovation in Language Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42387320","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}

This study employed qualitative approach. One female in-service EFL teacher was purposively selected to become the participant. Data were garnered by written reflections and semi-structured interviews. The credibility of the data was achieved by employing the principles of data saturation. Qualitative coding was then used to analyze the data. To ensure the trustworthiness of the results, the analysis was repeated thrice at different times. The results indicate that both the quality of IDLE activities and the quantity of IDLE activities were important to develop English proficiency although receptive activities were still the most dominant. It was good to undertake IDLE activities on a daily basis. Several tools and resources were also needed to carry out IDLE activities such as gadgets, internet connection, applications, e-books, e-newspapers, as well as online reading and listening materials. Multimodal input such as visualization, lyrics, subtitles, and audio in IDLE activities was really helpful. It was also revealed that the underlying advantages of IDLE activities included providing language exposure, creating English environment, increasing confidence to use English, entertaining, having lots of free resources, as well as being flexible to be undertaken anytime and anywhere. Moreover, IDLE activities could enhance many language aspects such as pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, conversational skill, writing skill, speaking skill, and listening skill.

This study purposed to explore how is the second language identity constructed through the interactions during study abroad. Through narrative interviews, this study will explore more about how second language identity of two international students constructed in their study abroad countries. The result of this study is second language identity construction is more powerful based on self-desire of participants and who the interlocutors are. Further, by knowing how the second language identity is constructed when international students are in native and non-native English-speaking countries, this study will give an empirical contribution about how English language learning patterns depend on the environment. Thus, the English teacher or language expert later could adapt English learning patterns through the construction of other people's language identity.","PeriodicalId":33592,"journal":{"name":"Research and Innovation in Language Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45374057","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}
