They can practice reading on screen as the students in global era have commonly familiarized with. However, the teacher can apply certain reading strategies for students’ understandings on materials when trying to integrate technology for reading. Thus, this research proposes to investigate the effectiveness of Socrative and Moodle in reading classrooms that employ Kow-Want to Know-Learned (KWL) strategy. By using causal comparative study, seventy students of English Department at one of Islamic state universities in East Java Indonesia who are in the third semester are divided into intervention and control groups. The previous group is directed to read by using Moodle and do quiz with Socrative, while the latter read and do the quiz in Moodle. Here, KWL strategy is integrated with both technologies. The results of study exemplify that there is no significance difference between the students in the intervention and the control group. However, the mean scores of posttest on the intervention group increased better than the control group.","PeriodicalId":33956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Language Teaching","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136078636","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}

Nevertheless, some students believe that writing skills are challenging. Therefore, Google Jamboard can facilitate the learning of the writing process, as it provides opportunities for collaboratively enhancing learning experiences. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of Google Jamboard in enhancing students’ ability to compose personal recount texts. There was no control or comparison in the pre-experimental design. A private vocational high school in Surabaya served as the location. There were 34 pupils in the tenth grade from a Surabaya private vocational high school involved. The instruments were a pre-test and post-test along with a writing rubric. The data were obtained by administering a writing test before and after the implementation of Google Jamboard. Using SPSS version 22, a paired sample T-test was utilized to analyze the data. The results demonstrate a significant gain in the mean score between the pre-test and post-test, with an increase of 19.97 points. Additionally, the two-tailed significance value (Sig) is below 0.05, specifically 0.000. This statement implies that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) has been approved. To sum up, Google Jamboard can enhance students’ personal recount writing skills. It is recommended that other researchers utilize Google Jamboard to teach additional English skills.","PeriodicalId":33956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Language Teaching","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136079051","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}

Regarding that, many professors struggle to have their articles published in highly regarded publications and require references; for instance, the rhetorical move pattern. Many studies have analyzed the rhetorical structure of articles, but few have investigated the rhetorical move of the research articles produced by lecturers by specifically comparing their publications in high-impact versus low-impact Scopus-indexed journals. Using a descriptive-comparative qualitative design, this study seeks to investigate the moves of low-impact and high-impact articles of the two social humanities lecturers of a state university in Indonesia. Eight articles were analyzed through the move framework proposed by Maswana (2015). The results revealed that the rhetorical moves from each section were organized with significant conformities and minor non-conformities.Especially, the authorsemphasized the goals, procedures, and outcomes of the publications in the abstract section. Furthermore, the writers provided references to the existing literature and the goal of the research to assist the reader in understanding the theory applied in the papers. On the other hand, deviations from the norm are displayed in the methodology section due to variations in how the study was conducted, particularly the data processing phase. The authors’ attention to conveying the research’s specific findings and their significance was in the findings and discussion section.

This paper contends that while mobile reading is a growing mode of literacy development across the world, little is known about the different strategies Zimbabwean adolescent learners have had to employ as they reconfigure and rethink their literacy practices around new reading media like cell phones and tablets. This paper adopts a constructivist approach to trace, document, and analyse the personal narratives of the participants’ mobile reading experiences during their transformational journeys towards becoming active mobile readers. The participants’ voices were captured using task-based evaluative focus group interviews. Through this cooperative collaborative approach, the researcher managed to engage the participants on critical issues surrounding their digital literacy practices, their digital identities, their digital inclusion, and digital exclusion thereof. It was established that the adolescent participants were a digital generation living in a digital age and their reading needs and expectations were ever-growing and ever-changing. The adolescent participants expected their digital reading to be like the rest of their digital lives: quick, uninterrupted, personalised, and smart. Educational practitioners ought not to assume that adolescent learners as digital natives will automatically become successful mobile readers, but rather they should make accommodations for, and teach adolescents the art of digital learning and mobile reading. This paper recommends the scaling up of mobile reading initiatives and research in Zimbabwe so that the mobile reading phenomenon is further demystified.","PeriodicalId":33956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Language Teaching","volume":"73 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136079054","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 the positive response to the Language Policy of Higher Education (LPHE) is laudable, certain aspects of this transformation still fail to recognize the importance of indigenous languages as sources of knowledge. The primary objective of this paper is to shed light on scenarios where multilingualism, specifically through translanguaging, is acknowledged and utilized to enhance students' comprehension of academic materials, particularly for non-speakers of Setswana who are learning the language for communicative purposes. The findings of a focus group discussion revealed that multilingual students possess valuable funds of knowledge that deserve recognition in teaching and learning contexts. Consequently, this paper emphasizes the necessity of recognizing and utilizing multilingualism not only for communicative purposes but also for academic purposes. It advocates for the adoption of a translanguaging approach in teaching and acknowledges students' language practices as a means to provide access to social justice for multilingual students. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of recognizing the role of multilingualism in academia and highlights the need to move beyond a solely communicative focus. By incorporating translanguaging practices and acknowledging students' diverse linguistic backgrounds, educational institutions can promote equitable access to education and foster social justice for multilingual learners.","PeriodicalId":33956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Language Teaching","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42285132","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 will indicate choices that speech communities have and reasons for specific language preferences. It looks at the multilingual situation in Gwanda South and the language choices that the community is free or forced to make. It seeks to indicate how language contact could result in language shifts in supposed multilingual communities that could be affected by other languages appearing and being used for essential social, political, religious, and administrative purposes. Survey data reveals that Gwanda South has the following languages: Sesotho, Ndebele, Chi-Jahunda, Venda, and English. Sesotho is the home language while Ndebele has come through administrators and its being the original national language for Matabeleland South. Chi-Jahunda is a primary/ indigenous variety for Gwanda South. Attention is centered on the apparent move from the home language to other varieties that have moved into the district over time. The main worry is the apparent demise of the home language due to both internal and external forces. While there might be a high level of retention of the language in the home domain, the use of languages that are spoken by the few combined with English as the official language tends to interfere with the retention and continued use of Sesotho. This suggests that language contact leads to a shift influenced by a speaker’s inability to preserve their mother language by switching to dominant languages as mediums at home and school once such languages have been learned and mastered.","PeriodicalId":33956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Languages and Language Teaching","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45415503","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 topic has crucially been discussed among scholars in educational settings due to the influence of multilingualism possessed by Indonesian EFL learners. The studies from 2010s-2020s are selected and critically reviewed by focusing on students‘ and teachers‘ perception of translanguaging practices used in EFL classrooms. The discussion covers meaningful insights from various education levels in Indonesia since the country is known as one of the most linguistically diverse communities. The analysis of the review shows how translanguaging contributes to helping the learning activities to be more comprehensive as well as develop students’ multilingual and linguistics competencies. Furthermore, it also lays out the use of code-mixing and code-switching are considered fundamental to balance the incorporation of three languages used while providing learning instructions and strategies.
