This paper discusses an initiative that attempted to disseminate research findings relating to teaching/learning grammar to a group of ELT teachers in Sri Lanka. Participant feedback analysis highlights that research findings do not reach teachers in an effective manner, and they need exemplar-based training to understand them. Although research findings may be relevant to their contexts, teachers may still not be able to adapt them because of time constraints and lack of expertise. Therefore, more effort should be taken to disseminate research findings through initiatives such as incorporating them into teacher training programmes and providing examples showing how to apply those findings in practice.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"153 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cognitive apprenticeship and socio-constructivism set the theoretical foundations of this course. Working with 20 instructors at university, the researcher used two data sources (participants’ opinions and their recorded lessons) and four data collection tools (pre-post course interviews, weekly-assigned implementations, their self-reflections on their AI use, and feedback on the course) to evaluate the impact of this course. The data suggest that this AI course for English language instructors likely made a significant difference, enhancing AI integration into teaching. This training could serve as a model for AI-ready instructors, improving their knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy. There are also some data that highlight challenges and limitations, unveiling different aspects of this complex field of study.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers have voiced concerns that learners might lean too much on technology. Previous studies have investigated the use of AI tools in L2 writing with various populations and found that it was difficult for teachers to detect use of AI and that teachers mainly relied on linguistic strategies to detect AI-generated texts. This paper reports on a qualitative study that investigated whether novice English teachers were able to detect AI-generated writing and which strategies they used to do this. The results show that some novice teachers are quite good at detecting AI-generated texts, while others proved to have more difficulties. The teachers used both linguistic and content-related strategies to detect AI-generated writing. The results point towards the value of including this topic in teaching methodology courses in (initial) teacher training programmes.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While increasing research has examined language teaching materials and teacher learning, the two research fields have remained largely disconnected, hindering the potential of materials writing for professional learning. With eight teachers as focal participants, the data included in-depth interviews, written reflections, and official documents. Findings showed that the EFL teachers took advantage of materials writing for their professional learning in the areas of policy, theory, and practice. Their engagement with the national curriculum standards, language, and language learning theories, together with local classroom realities in relation to teaching materials, reciprocally interacted with their professional learning. Based on the findings, we recommend that professional development programs include materials writing by localizing the content, clarifying its objectives, teaming teachers with researchers, and creating feedback loops.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while corrective feedback and writing feedback have been the focus of much L2 research and classroom practice, there seems relatively little attention to feedback on spoken interactional skills. Concomitantly, translating research on interactional competence (IC) to classroom practice has been a glacial process. Aiming at supporting teachers in providing assessment feedback and teaching IC in the classroom, this article introduces worked examples of peer interactions as a feedback and learning resource. Adopting a procedure used in conversation analytic (CA) research, the worked examples are designed to guide learners to notice and understand IC features in context, at a less cognitively demanding pace for processing, and promote learners’ active engagement with the feedback or teaching focus. The article concludes with suggestions for teachers to develop similar resources for their local contexts.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I discuss a framework that has proven effective in my teaching environment, fostering both initial and sustained engagement among learners throughout a course. The CLARA model, adapted from Mercer and Dörnyei (2020), outlines key principles of learner engagement upon which educators can draw to design their teaching approaches, with the aim of enhancing learner engagement and improving learning outcomes. As an illustrative example of this model’s effectiveness, I hope to demonstrate how, as a class, we used CLARA to inform our approach. This involved identifying climate action as a theme for our classroom, challenging ourselves to find ways in which we could work on this topic, and creating climate action comics as an interesting, challenging, and effective output for learner creativity and engagement.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study findings, from ethnographic methods and conversation analysis, indicated that the teacher engaged in translanguaging shifts centring on the students’ learning needs. She created a co-learning environment in which she and the students co-developed a poem in an English and a bilingual version. In the process of co-creation, not only did the students learn new content, but their identities were valued and affirmed. With her strong translanguaging stance, the teacher let go of control and learnt from the students instead. Based on the findings, I provide recommendations and practical suggestions for teachers, teacher educators, and school leaders. I argue that translanguaging shifts play a crucial role in translanguaging pedagogy. However, teachers cannot work alone in their implementation; it requires different stakeholders to work together–juntos to ensure student success.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140070969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
