Seedhouse, Paul – ELT Journal, 2019
This article investigates the central role of topic in the IELTS Speaking Test (IST).

Fouz-González, Jonás; Mompean, Jose A. – ELT Journal, 2021
The potential of high-variability phonetic training (HVPT) to help FL learners improve their pronunciation is well documented. However, research exploring learners' perceptions of the approach adopted after having experienced training is scarce. Likewise, the choice of labels adopted for training is not self-evident and has not been studied…

Lodzikowski, Kacper; Jekiel, Mateusz – ELT Journal, 2019
This exploratory study fills the gap in research on using print board games to teach English prosody to advanced EFL learners at university level. We developed three in-class print-and-play board games that accompanied three prosody-related topics in a course in English phonetics and phonology at a Polish university. For those topics, compared to…

Kim, Sugene – ELT Journal, 2019
This article explores Japanese EFL learners' perceptions of face-to-face vs. anonymous peer review in a writing classroom. Albeit few in number, some studies claim that Asian students exhibit difficulty in providing negative feedback because they tend to be hesitant for cultural reasons to criticize others' work. To verify and extend such…

Medgyes, Péter – ELT Journal, 2017
It is a fact that a very low proportion of practising teachers are in the habit of reading ELT-related research papers. The main cause of this neglect is assumed to be that teaching and researching are two distinct forms of activity with no links to connect them. After comparing the concepts of progress and change in research versus teaching, this…

Drawing on corpus analyses, interviews, and questionnaires, this study compares Taiwanese…

Vocationally oriented language learning (VOLL) is often seen as a part of English for Specific Purposes/Language for Specific Purposes (ESP/LSP), which it is not in every case. The diverging characteristics and lines of development that these two branches of ELT have undergone are outlined and contrasted. Then, a discussion of the added value of a…

Waters, Alan – ELT Journal, 2012
Trends and issues in ELT methods and methodology can be identified at two main levels.

This article therefore begins by briefly summarizing some of the main developments of this kind from 1995…
