However, most teachers are not adequately prepared for considering the psychological health of their learners. We may assume that there seem to have no adequate resources to help them understand the fundamental issue that underpins psychology in English Foreign Language classrooms. Hence, this paper aims to redirect teachers’ attention, inspire their curiosity to move from the traditional ways of teaching to psychology-based education, in the hope to prepare our future generation to successfully engage the world. To collect data for the study, the researcher made use of questionnaires for students and teachers, and semi-structured interviews for teachers. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that self-confidence plays a role in learning a new language. Other findings are also displayed in the research and recommendations are made at the end of the study.\u0000Keywords: English foreign language; classroom; Anxiety; learners; positive psychology; psychological health; self-confidence.","PeriodicalId":381886,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132729994","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 current research aims to test students’ use of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory (MIT) to develop their thinking and writing skills, primarily the use of the notetaking technique in writing the literature review section.  The researcher aimed at including Gardner’s linguistic intelligence in academic writing, mainly dissertation writing. To this end, the researcher selected 39 foreign language teaching (EFL) Master Students for the experiment. The researcher employed a pretest and a posttest to check and evaluate students’ use of the notetaking technique. The findings revealed that teachers could integrate Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory in the EFL context. The results also showed that students tend to employ the first intelligence to develop their writing skills and improve the use of notetaking techniques in writing the literature review section.

As a result, new concepts such as intercultural communicative competence have emerged. This means that this new skill has to be promoted and fostered so that students can develop it and interact with other people effectively in a more culturally diverse setting. This paper aims to analyse the role of this new competence in foreign language learning, which is characteristic of 21st-century citizens. The study, therefore, conducts a literature review. In this process, teachers, and to a lesser extent coursebook, play a paramount role. Even though all the agents involved in the teaching-learning process value its importance, there are some factors such as a lack of appropriate training on the part of teachers, inadequate content and materials contained mainly in coursebooks, and effective ways of assessment, which prevent the development of this new 21st-century skill.\u0000 \u0000Keywords: Awareness; culture; development; intercultural communicative competence; interculturality","PeriodicalId":381886,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131993577","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}

Qualitative in nature, the study is designed as a multiple (collective) case study. Maximum variation (heterogeneity) sampling, a purposeful sampling strategy, is used to compare the FLT curriculum in Germany and Spain with Turkey, aiming at capturing and describing common patterns accross a variety of cases. The results show that with the latest revisions in Turkey’s curriculum, the curriculum in three countries are similar to one another in terms of design, main philosophy, content, assessment and evaluation approach, as well as the language teaching approach.

This paper intends to highlight students’ hindrances in producing a sound synthesis, particularly weak critical reading and proposes equally outlets for a sturdy comprehension.

The researchers used purposive sampling with master two didactic students (39 students). Self-assessment of the teaching strategy, corpus analysis, and an eight-item student questionnaire were used. The findings indicated that the major problems surrounding the internalisation of good synthesis were related to the different operations required for critical reading.
