A teacher educator, an inservice teacher, and a preservice teacher were the three stakeholders who took part in a project on language assessment development for ESOL students at a public school in the United States. In this project, with the help of inservice ESOL teachers, preservice ESOL teachers designed and implemented listening and writing assessments for local middle school ESOL students. During and after the project, one of the participating inservice teachers, one preservice teacher, and the teacher educator voluntarily participated in extended reflective practices via email communications, on-site visits, and pre- and post-project discussions. All stakeholders perceived the collaboration as a mutual learning experience to enhance their LAL while sharing their respective expertise.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135742137","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 policy expects multilingual practices from the teachers of content disciplines; however, the same cannot be said for English language teachers. English language teachers are still trapped in English-only practices, making them rely on only the target language when teaching. I, as a Kazakhstani teacher who worked in a trilingual school, decided to challenge this monolingual perspective and try to incorporate multilingual practices into my teaching. In this article, I present my reflections on my past and current teaching beliefs and propose that multilingual practices in the form of pedagogical translanguaging can be seen as legitimate teaching strategies that can be part of ELT classrooms.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41427657","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}

Sixteen learners of English at a Hong Kong secondary school performed collaborative tasks in two pairing arrangements: student-selected pairing and teacher-assigned pairing (mixed proficiency). Data sources include transcripts of task interactions, a self-selection questionnaire that assessed learners’ criteria for selecting a partner, and a post-task emotional engagement questionnaire. The results revealed that learners’ choice of partner was primarily based on friendship, and that, compared to the teacher-assigned pairing arrangement, self-selection led to elevated levels of enjoyment. However, neither arrangement had an overall advantage in terms of generating language-related discussions. A qualitative analysis of task interactions revealed that student-selected pairs more frequently used the L1 to elaborate and resolve English language issues, but the friendship nature of these collaborations also led to more frequent off-task discussions, limiting their language learning opportunities.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44305189","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 students (N = 104) were audio-recorded while carrying out two communicative tasks in pairs: exchanging personal experiences about moving to Canada, and discussing academic research studies. Transcripts were coded for the occurrence of speaker strategies (e.g. comprehension check, elaboration) and listener strategies (e.g. confirmation check, clarification request) for avoiding misunderstanding. Their use of speaker and listener strategies was compared overall and by conversational topic (i.e. personal or academic). The results indicated that the students used more speaker strategies than listener strategies and produced more speaker strategies during the academic discussion than the personal topic. Implications for L2 teaching are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41335292","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}

To this end, three cohorts of student teachers carried out LL fieldwork, uploaded images of English signage to an LL application, Lingscape, and submitted a mini research paper on the use of Englishes. They also wrote a reflective journal featuring a discussion of their experiences. Qualitative content analysis was utilized to interpret the data for the purpose of illustrating major themes emerging from the data. The findings highlighted a heightened awareness among student teachers towards locating and reflecting on Englishes in everyday contexts, an improved understanding of English as a lingua franca and Global Englishes, and their intentions to adopt Global-Englishes-oriented language teaching practices in the future. The study concludes by discussing the implications of this approach, and calls for a wider inclusion of LL-centred tasks in EFL teacher education curricula.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43309192","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}

As the number of students taking content courses in their L2 in English medium instruction contexts grows, L2 notetaking abilities are beginning to receive much-needed pedagogic and research attention. Students use their notes for a variety of post-listening activities, one of which is writing assignments. The present paper examines the relationship between notes taken by three L2 English students while listening to an academic English text, and writing tasks based on the notes taken. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the written tasks are presented and discussed in light of note content, providing insights as to how notes are used to generate post-listening writing tasks. Pedagogic implications related to the note-writing task relationship stemming from the findings are presented.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41844427","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}

It has been a part of the official public school curriculum for 10 years and many students pursue more English courses in college. However, there is a general consensus among English instructors in Korean institutions of higher education that students lack confidence as learners and users of English. Students also describe themselves as having ‘English trauma’, which is a popular notion among Korean students. In this article, I explain how damaging native speakerism is for the students’ confidence as language learners and I describe the changes I made to my curriculum to implement a more humanistic curriculum designed to minimize the negative emotional pressure my students felt. In closing, I will discuss my reflections on the process.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134955249","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}

It defines pedagogy as a ‘praxis’, involving the reflexivity of action, reflection, and relearning, thus challenging the condescending view of ‘practice’ as secondary to research, policy, and scholarship. This perspective enhances the political stakes in pedagogy by contesting the micro/macro binary that relegates pedagogic resistance to ineffectual local changes. Reviewing constructs from Southern epistemologies, such as non-duality, relationality, becoming, coexistence, ethical values, and non-representational dispositions, this introduction outlines a decolonial ELT. A decolonial pedagogy focuses on developing the ethical, relational, and critical dispositions that will help students negotiate very diverse and unpredictable communicative contexts for meaningful and inclusive communication, drawing from all the semiotic resources in the environment. Rather than ‘transferable’ norms and rules, it focuses on ‘adaptive’ dispositions that help negotiate unpredictable communicative interactions.","PeriodicalId":47776,"journal":{"name":"Elt Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45923029","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}
