Despite decades of curricular change and the introduction of language pedagogies emphasising meaning and communication, teachers of English in Chilean schools still tend to favour traditional methods and focus largely on discrete language. Using data from stimulated recalls, interviews and observations with preservice teachers, interviews with…

This research looks at an area of materials design where little research has previously been conducted: English for very specific academic purposes (EVSAP). The research looks at related literature in EAP, ESP and ESAP, conducts a multi-stakeholder needs analysis, and incorporates the students into the materials design process itself. An analysis…

This study explores the generative artificial intelligence (GAI) prompting practices of Australian primary and secondary educators in the first year following the advent of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Following a brief training workshop on prompting GAI for pedagogical purposes, 38 teachers uploaded 252 prompts they deemed 'pedagogically useful' and 19…

Mathematical resilience is an internal factor in students that is important to have in dealing with learning mathematics. This study aims to design efforts to construct mathematical resilience and develop sainsmatika-based teaching materials in constructing students' mathematical resilience. The research method used is the design method…

This research is a grounded theory study that aims to generate a theory to account for Thai EFL pre-service teachers' materials development. The participants were twenty-two EFL pre-service teachers. Three rounds of stimulated recall interviews, consisting of five main research questions, were implemented. The resultant data was then analyzed…

To help alleviate the alarming performance of students in Mathematics, teachers are encouraged to devise different strategies to address the challenges of students in dealing with mathematics. This may include crafting learning materials such as Self-Directing Learning material. This kind of learning material is crucial in developing students'…

This study proposes five components of corpus literacy skills (CL) based on a survey of previous studies to investigate in-service teachers' perceived CL skills. Subsequently, the relationships among these components will be explored. In addition, this study investigates whether age and teaching experience have an effect on perceived CL skills.…

The article sets out to contribute to the educational challenge launched by the second quantum revolution. An approach to quantum computing has been outlined for secondary school students. The approach is shaped as a set of four principles that have been pointed out to design instructional materials to enhance the educational and cultural…

Where do you start the course design for a minority language? One starting point is identifying and surveying a community of possible learners. This paper explores the needs of learners of Tuvan, a language spoken primarily in the Republic of Tuva, Southern Siberia, Russia. The study was conducted in two steps: an online questionnaire (March 2019)…

One core aspect of learning a language is developing vocabulary, an endeavor that requires a structured and principled focus in the classroom. As the EFL textbook has a central position in the language learning classroom, it should have an important role to play in structuring vocabulary development. Yet, what guides decisions concerning the…

Cognitive and psychomotor capabilities are two critical interrelated abilities to improve student learning outcomes. Both abilities play a role in understanding new information and developing fine motor skills. Hence, schools train students these two abilities to equip them with basic skills in solving mathematical problems such as basic…

This study focuses on "digital learning sheets" by exploring the effects of different design strategies of the digital learning sheet on visitors' motivation and learning outcomes. This study chose the woodcraft themed exhibition as a case study, adopting the learning sheet design principles proposed by Hooper-Greenhill in order to…

This brief paper describes how additional learning resources can be developed at a module level within higher education. The context to further meet the requirements of a rapidly changing environment within the higher education context and to meet different trends and challenges such as employers' expectations and challenges facing graduates to…

This paper seeks to explore the impact of video lectures on the students of the Department of English of a Bangladeshi private university during the world pandemic, COVID-19. Using various online resources, especially YouTube videos, website links, e-texts, and journal articles, to make a classroom vibrant, interesting, engaging, and entertaining…

The purposes of this study were to: 1) create and develop effective doctoral learning module on leading teachers development program to enhance critical thinking for students in secondary schools under the Office of Basic Education Commission, and 2) evaluate the developed module on its efficiency and effectiveness- its congruence of utility,…
