Kinesics is one of the main features of paralinguistics, which comprises various nonverbal fundamental elements. In this study, researchers collected the data regarding the effectiveness of kinesics for ESOL learners using a questionnaire with a sample of 385 instructors and learners from Saudi Arabian universities. Two hypotheses were tested: integrated kinesics significantly impacts learner-oriented proximity, and integrated kinesics features have a substantial effect on instructor-oriented proximity. SPSS was used to scrutinize the collected data. Regression analysis and descriptive statistic methods were used to check the frequency and reliability of the data and the variation of the results. The study’s findings indicate a significant impact of integrated kinesics features on learner-oriented proximity and instructororiented proximity. Using kinesics features in TESOL is very effective. It is concluded that kinesics is an inseparable part of the lecture room’s learning and teaching process. It is an integral part of teaching ESOL that should not be neglected.","PeriodicalId":41689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Cultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49504131","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 research was carried out in 63 primary schools in one 6th grade class in each school. The pupils in 31 classes underwent the Unplugged program. The data were collected at five measurement points and 497 pupils participated in all of them (40.5% boys, T1: M age = 11.52, SD = 0.61). Statistical analysis was conducted in IBM SPSS 21. The basic descriptive statistics was computed for all factors of cognitive autonomy and for every measurement point for boys and girls and for the participants with and without the Unplugged program. To address changes over time a longitudinal approach was applied and linear mixed modelling was used, which uses multilevel hierarchical modelling. The first level addressed the within-subject change in measured variables over time. The second level addressed changes in measured variables between subjects. Through linear mixed modelling we have found that voicing opinions improve in the explored age group regardless of gender and participation in the program. Comparative validation was found to be higher among girls. Furthermore, it was found that a higher level of all factors of cognitive autonomy indicated a lower increase in these factors over time. Significant differences in the level of changes in individuals were found in all, except for decisionmaking in which an increase was observed in most of the respondents.","PeriodicalId":41689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Cultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44337703","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}

However, both rely on students’ active participation, cooperation and communication with each other. Due to these features, therefore, they have the potential to foster foreign language competences successfully. Nevertheless, what if they were employed in a purely online learning environment? Could they still bring the praised learning outcomes, such as better conceptual understanding, more effective problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills, and increased student engagement and creativity? The present study aims to answer the given question by giving insight into implementing the methods in English for Specific Purposes courses at Constantine, the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia). The action research findings were juxtaposed to the interview and questionnaire results revealing 101 tourism undergraduates’ views. Despite some technical issues and the students’ mixed-language communication, both DT and PI proved to be almost as effective in a purely online environment as in the case of a traditional classroom in terms of developing foreign language competences and problem-solving skills, creative or critical thinking, as well as enhancing teamwork and motivation.","PeriodicalId":41689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Cultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46944399","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}

Folk literature, in the form of poems, lines, and melodies, is a part of cultural legacy, and its preservation for future generations appears to be crucial. The advent of technology in the post-covid era gave rise to a new perspective on the educational system. Folk education, which has never been regarded as a separate discipline in the sphere of primary education, is now in jeopardy as it is losing its cultural heritage in this digital age. It can only be preserved if it can be linked to newly developed technologies. The current research proposes the Socio-Digital Knowledge System, or SDKS, in light of this. This model deals with the detour of transition from the ‘as is’ to the ‘as ought to be’ reality, which can be considered the main grounds of folk education. The status ‘as it is’ of folk society represents the remaining varieties, not yet to be accounted for by any other educational developmental agencies. There may not be such instances of ‘remaining varieties’ in real. On the other hand, the ‘as ought to be’ educational system remains under development determined by surrounding political and socio-cultural parameters. This effort focuses on the nature of the psychology of the monolingual speakers’ collective self when they are obliged to maintain a tumultuous social environment with two poles, ‘as it is’ and ‘as it ought to be.’ In Indian communities, our model focuses on the ambiguous interpretation of social mobilization and hierarchy principles, as well as the imprecise term ‘class.’ To comprehend the mentioned bipolar possibility in terms of educational growth, we employ semiotic devices as a methodology.","PeriodicalId":41689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language and Cultural Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43921767","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}
