Abstract
|
| |
As an area of classroom research, Interaction Analysis developed from the need and desire to investigate the process
of classroom teaching and learning in terms of action-reaction between individuals and their socio-cultural context
(Biddle, 1967). However, sole reliance on quantitative techniques could be problematic, since they conceal more
than they reveal of the intricacies of classroom interaction. Moving away from this quantitative norm, this study |

This study explored the effect of employing two language teaching approaches, i.e., schema-based instruction (SBI)
and translation-based instruction (TBI) on the structure and vocabulary knowledge as well as reading
comprehension ability of sixty undergraduate students studying general English in a medical school in Mashhad,
Iran. While the SBI approaches the words/phrases comprising texts as schemata having syntactic, semantic and
discoursal relationships with each other, the latter considers offering their translation equivalents as the only |

Abstract

The development of critical thinking (CT) skills has become a key goal for educators in first and second language
contexts. There is evidence that the use of such activities has still not become widespread in a number of ELT
situations. One reason for this may be lack of awareness about how levels of thinking can be conceptualized in ELT
activities. This paper will report on a program designed by the authors at a university in Iran, which used taxonomy |

male and female Iranian teacher trainees were assigned to three ambiguity tolerance groups; namely, high, moderate
and low. Cluster analysis of the SLTAS scores indicated that Iranian EFL learners were mostly moderate as far as |

decades, and is a topic that triggers significant differences of opinions. As the first theory that emphasises the
specific nature of foreign language anxiety, Horwitz, Horwitz, and Cope’s theory of foreign language anxiety has
been used in quite a number of studies in the field. This paper reviews the theory and discusses the criticisms that |

Abstract

The introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) to education creates new learning paradigms.
We are dwelling in a world which technology has reduced to a global village and the breakthrough in technology is
underpinning pedagogical submissions. It may become imperative therefore to have a rethinking on how to
ameliorate the constraints of second language users through the applications of modern technologies. |
