Parents Involvement

In Indonesian context, English has been taught in elementary school level and parents’ involvement is considered as one of the influencing factors which has contribution to the children’s language learning achievement. The rapid, complex and continuous societal changes in this digital era might impact and alter the possibilities of parents’ involvement in their children’s language learning. The current study explored the triggers and the barriers of parents’ home-based involvement in their children’s English language learning and the features of their involvement. The qualitative research by implementing semi-structured, in- depth interview with four parents of elementary students at one of private schools in Yogyakarta city was conducted. The findings show the three main triggers in parents’ home-based involvement namely: (1) parents’ belief of the importance of English, (2) the implementation of school technological learning tools and (3) parents’ expectation of their children academic achievement. While the barriers that parents encounter in their involvement are: (1) parents’ lack of time, (2) parents’ unproficiency in English and (3) parents’ unfamiliarity with the use of technological tools. As the features of involvement, the study reveals parents’ monitoring, accompaniment, assistances in their children’s home-learning activities, providing some additional English learning media and financing English private course. Keywords:  Barriers, Children’s English Language Learning, Parents’ Home-Based Involvement, Triggers

Statement of the problem. Computerized dynamic assessment of aptitude for learning foreign languages ​​is insufficiently represented in educational practice. The paper reveals new possibilities of using information technologies for solving a topical issue of diagnosing aptitude for learning a foreign language as an integral dynamic indicator for monitoring the quality of foreign language teaching. The instrumental basis for the computerized dynamic assessment of learning criteria is the dynamic computerized test simulators (DCTS) of educational activity. The purpose of the article is to study the potential of dynamic computer test simulators “English Language Tenses” as an instrument of dynamic assessment of students’ aptitude for learning the English language verbal tenses. Research methodology includes analysis of studies by Russian and international scientists on computerization of dynamic assessment of English language learning. The methods used in the computerization of dynamic learning assessment are based on the theory of development by J. Piaget, reinforcement learning, activity and environment approaches to the analysis of procedural characteristics of learning activities. Research results. We developed instrumental tools for diagnostics of learning aptitude – DCTS “English Language Tenses”. Experimentally, two groups of subjects were chosen so that they differed from each other in the dynamics of procedural characteristics of educational activity: the first group was characterized by a monotonous decrease in the number of errors with an increase in the number of the task being performed; the second group was characterized by a non-monotonous decrease in the number of errors, disturbed by an abrupt increase in the number of errors. The subjects of the first student group, as a rule, have a greater learning potential or learning aptitude, in comparison with the subjects of the second group. Approbation was carried out and recommendations were given for the use of the DCTS “English Language Tenses” for monitoring the process of teaching English. Conclusions. Analyzing the results of experimental testing of the DCTS “English Language Tenses” in the dynamic assessment of English learning, the authors come to the conclusion that it is advisable to use the procedural characteristics of learning activities: labor intensity, temporal pace, frequency of errors and reinforcement of learning activities as indicators for monitoring English language learning. The considered approach to the diagnostics of students’ aptitude for learning the tenses of the English language provides information about features of developing cognitive functions in students.

Esl Learners

ESL learners have varying perceptions towards their English language learning experience because no one student is alike with the other. Gender differences is an important aspect of ESL learners’ identity which is frequently overlooked because English curriculums and teaching methods are usually carried out in classrooms with a one-size-fits-all concept, and does not cater to the different needs and learning styles of their students. This study aims to determine whether gender plays a significant role in shaping ESL learners’ perceptions towards English language learning. This study was conducted via the systematic literature review method. A total of ten literatures were chosen for inclusion in this study based on specified criteria and gathered from various online journal databases. Based on the results, it was found that gender does play an important role on ESL learners’ perception due to societal and environment factors that feed into stereotypical gender roles. Also, the inherent biological and psychological differences between males and females can affect ESL learners’ perceptions and attitudes when learning English.

Language Students

English language students at the Universidad Nacional de Educacion (UNAE) in Ecuador tend to have various learning styles and have a hard time being motivated to not only learn, but also remember the correct form of English language being taught in the classroom. It is mandatory for these students to learn English; therefore many do not have intrinsic reasons for wanting to study English. This study focused on a group of 30 fourth semester beginner EFL university students studying to be elementary school teachers. Through the research conducted, the author investigated how game play in the classroom could intrinsically motivate, promote different learning styles and advance English language learning when students do not have an initial want or understanding of the need to learn the language other than the fact that it is a mandatory subject in their university. Games were used throughout the course to reinforce grammar and vocabulary, promote multiple skill learning while using diverse teaching styles to create an environment, which independently motivated the pupils of the class to not only want to learn, but also to internalize the language. Students were given various questionnaires, an online quiz and assessment materials to assist the teacher in finding the results for the study. Through the findings of the study these tools produced results that demonstrated the importance of games as a strategy to use in a language class, with college age students in UNAE. Games helped students increase their speaking, reading, writing and listening skills and at the same time increased their motivation to want and appreciate learning English. They were a specifically useful strategy with this group, because it also aided in authentic learning and made fundamental English language learning more enjoyable.
