Critical Feedback

This article provides suggestions on writing for journals in the field of language learning. These suggestions are presented in the three sections. The first section discusses how to begin. Suggestions in this section are that we appreciate the benefits of writing for publication, develop good ideas, work efficiently, ponder options as to what type of writing to do, choose a good topic, consider replication of other's research, and cooperate with others. The second section presents suggestions on doing the actual writing. Here, it is suggested that we connect ideas, delve deeply into the ideas we present, strive to write the reader friendlymanner, use visuals, and improve our writing by noticing how other journal authors write. The third section concerns relations with editors. The advice given is that we choose carefully the journal to which we submit our work, follow that journal's directions to contributors, include a cover letter, be prepared to wait patiently, welcome critical feedback from editors and reviewers, and view editors as colleagues. Received: 10th November 1998; Revised: 31st December 1998; Accepted: 5th January 1999How to cite: Jacobs, G.

Technology reviews are becoming an increasingly common genre within English language teaching and learning journals. This is due to the proliferation of technologies and their affordance in language learning. Although journals provide editorial guidelines for how to write technology reviews, they can be quite general. This short article offers some practical considerations and ideas, and includes published technology review as an example in the online appendix, showing the rhetorical moves for writing technology reviews in the field of English language teaching and learning.

Contained within this special issue is a selection of papers presented at the 2004 annual EUROCALL conference, hosted in early September in Vienna, Austria. CALL Austria, which is part of the great EUROCALL family, has played a major role in disseminating pedagogical approaches towards TELL and CALL within Europe since the early 1980s. It has always been a grass-roots movement, and its work has always reflected that fact that CALL Austria is run by active teachers, many of them teaching at secondary level. Thus the application of new ideas in the language classroom was a major consideration in the preparation of the 2004 Conference. In this context welcoming Eurocallers to Vienna in 2004 has been a crowning achievement and a reward for our attempts to promote the meaningful use of computer technologies in language learning. “TELL and CALL in the Third Millenium: Pegagogical Approaches in a Growing EU-Community”, focussed on the great variety of concepts, applications and best-practice models concerning pedagogy and methodology supported by technological developments, particularly in relation to language learning and teaching. As in previous conferences sub-themes focussed on the changes in practices involving literacy brought about by the World Wide Web; the need to re-interpret current teaching paradigms; the relationship between the more ‘traditional’ language skills and the ‘new literacies’; interactivity, learner interaction and feedback; and spoken and written corpora in language teaching and learning.

Science and technology has become more and more important in education, especially in language teaching and learning. Also, more and more teachers realize it is the popular issue nowadays. In China, the application of ICT in the language class to TESOL has already been a hot topic. This paper is divided into five parts: the first part is the introduction; the second part explains the definition and types of ICT and its advantages in the field of education; the third part describes the basic concepts of TESOL; the fourth part focuses on ICT in the application of language learning to TESOL in China through analyzing the existing problems and underlying causes and providing some suggestion to improve the current situation; the last part is the conclusion. All in all, this paper attempts to contribute to the growing understanding of the present application of ICT in language teaching and learning in China, which will be extremely beneficial for the improvement of the current ICT environment in TESOL, and hopefully offer some references for the future researches in this area.

This article is concerned with age in second language learning. It steers well clear, however, of the well-worn issue of maturational constraints and the intractable problems of locating their consensual offset point and finding indisputable evidence for or against them. Instead we propose something completely different in our agenda for age-related research: a programme on some poorly understood non-maturational dimensions of the age factor which will stand some chance of yielding results unlikely to become entangled in theoretical controversy. In other words, the results will, we think, be immediately usable and useful. The topics included in our outlined agenda are: (1) age effects in various dimensions of language teaching and learning (in relation to bilingualism and biliteracy, to different target languages and to Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL); (2) what can be observed in respect of second language (L2) learning in the third age; (3) an ecological perspective on age in classroom L2 research methodology; and (4) an exploration of the attitudes of teachers of different-aged L2 learners.

The edited book Innovative Language Teaching and Learning at University: Integrating Informal Learning into Formal Language Education, built on the 2017 Innovative Language Teaching and Learning at University conference (InnoConf), collected chapters with the theme: “Integrating informal learning into formal language education” (p. 3). Focusing on the exploration of innovative technologies for the purpose of language learning, the editors present a variety of approaches, including online courses, Wikipedia, social networking apps, online learning platforms, game-based tasks, video-based support, and Twitter. Based on the aims of the articles, the editors organized the chapters into two sections, with the first section addressing users’ feelings about these technologies and the second section addressing users’ evaluations of the technologies. The third section is an interview between the editor Tita Beaven and Richard Simcott, a founder of the Polyglot Conference. The interview emphasizes the importance of learning languages in informal ways.

The spread of Islam in Indonesia is closely related to the activity of Arabic language learning. As a code of linguistic expressions in learning Islam, the first aim in learning Arabic language in Indonesia is to fulfill people’s need in praying. In the second phase, Arabic language learning developed at many Islamic Boarding Schools. There was awareness that Arabic language was not only a tool in understanding a text, but also a tool for communication. It makes many people, especially those who studied abroad in the Middle East, motivated to innovate in the education development such as finding new concept and new teaching method especially in Arabic language teaching. In the third phase, Arabic language learning is nowadays used in a formal education and it is still in the process of completion of its curriculum, learning objective, learning material, teaching method, and its teaching media used in the teaching and learning process.

The Nihongo Partner Program or “Japanese Language Partner” is a program that sends native speakers to support the teaching and learning of Japanese overseas. The program is fully sponsored by The Japan Foundation. The aim of this program is to create an environment that motivates the students to learn Japanese. This study is based on a survey of the Nihongo Partner Program conducted on students and language lecturers at UiTM, Shah Alam. This study aims to investigate if there is a necessity for native speakers to be involved in the teaching and learning of Japanese among foreign language learners. Analysis of the results showed that both students and lecturers are in dire need of the Nihongo Partner Program to navigate the learning of the Japanese language through a variety of language learning activities. The involvement of native speaker increases students’ confidence and motivation to converse in Japanese. The program also provides opportunities for students to increase their Japanese language proficiency and lexical density. In addition, with the opportunity to interact with the native speakers, students and lecturers will have a better understanding of Japanese culture as they are able to observe and ask the native speakers. Involvement of native speakers is essential in teaching and learning of Japanese in UiTM.
