The Effect of Learning Strategies According to O’Malley and Chamot On The Learning Outcomes of Arabic Students

Arabic is often considered difficult by most students therefore an appropiate strategy is needed so that students do not find it difficult. In this case, the student learning strategy is one of components that must be considered carrefully by the teacher in improving student’s Arabic learning outcomes. Student learning strategies according to O’Malley and Chamot are divided in to 3 categories, namely metacognitive, cognitive, and affective social. The purpose of this research is to find out what strategies are used by student in learning, and the influence the student learning strategies on student learning outcomes of MAN 5 Kediri. This study used a quantitative method with an ex-post facto design. The population of this study was 230 students. While the number of samples is this study were 58 students. Sampling was determined by means of Random Sampling. The results of this study reveated that the learning strategies that were mostly used by students were cognitive strategies with an average score of 57,28. While student learning outcomes belong to the medium category. The effect of metacognitive learning strategies on learning outcomes was 4,8%, the effect of cognitive learning strategies on learning outcomes was 8,3%, and the effect of affective social learning strategies on learning outcomes was 7.1%.

Review of Research on Arab EFL Learners’ Motivational Language Learning Strategy-Use in the Tertiary Context

Research suggests that successful language learning requires learners to utilize effective cognitive, behavioral and affective language learning strategies (LLS). Under the impetus of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) proficiency in an essential for adequately preparing the workforce of the future. This creates an imperative for LLs researchers to provide a contextualized and nuanced picture of the EFL learning experiences of tertiary-level Saudi EFL learners and their strategy-use. Thus, the aim of the present paper was to review LLs research within the Saudi and parallel Arab contexts to detect predominant themes, trends and gaps. To this end, 16 relevant studies undertaken between 2012-2023 were identified. The review found that the studies were largely focused on identifying perceptions and attitudes towards LLs amongst students and deployed mostly quantitative methodologies. They predominantly strove to confirm earlier studies rather than to pursue exploratory or intervention-based research trajectories that could provide deeper insights or deploy strategy-use research to address challenges faced by the learners. Based on the above, the present paper suggests an urgent need for Arab LLs researchers (particularly in the Saudi context) to undertake contextualized and actionable research of benefit to Arab (and Saudi) EFL practitioners and learners.

Uncovering the Edge of Ambivertedness in Acquiring the English Language

The current study endeavors to investigate the preferred English language learning strategies among individuals who self-identify as ambiverts. A mixed-methods research design, comprising a survey questionnaire and follow-up interviews, was implemented to gather data from a sample population of 68 English-major students, of which 22 self-identified as ambiverts. The study aimed to elucidate the influence of the balance between introversion and extroversion on ambiverts’ favored learning strategies and to examine the benefits this balance provides in terms of selecting strategies that are best adapted to their unique needs and preferences. The results demonstrate that ambiverts favored affective learning strategies, such as musical accompaniment and positive self-talk, as well as compensatory strategies, such as deductive reasoning and seeking assistance. Furthermore, ambiverts displayed a proclivity for metacognitive strategies, including the recognition of faults and focusing on specific tasks, and memory-related strategies, including the utilization of color-coding and the integration of images and keywords. The study also revealed that social strategies, such as collaboration with others and seeking clarification, were favored by ambiverts, emphasizing the significance of interaction and engagement in the learning process. These findings have important implications for language educators and may inform the development of more inclusive learning materials that cater to a broad range of learning styles, including ambiverts, and enhance the effectiveness of language instruction.

Affective Learning Strategy and Lecturers’ Exemplary: Do They Affect in Shaping Scholars’ Character?

Factors affecting students' character are very various. In this case, it needs a certain study that reveals several specific factors affecting students' character. The objectives of this study is to analyze the influence of affective learning strategies and Lecturers' Exemplary on shaping students' character. The research uses quantitative methods with multiple regression research. The research population was all students of the Buddhist Religious Education Study Program, Raden Wijaya State Buddhist college with the sample used was 33 students. Data collection techniques were carried out by questionnaires.

Impliciation of this research is that lecturers should keep their attitude, utterance, and behaviour especially in the class because the students tend to imitate their lecturers.

ConcepTests in Undergraduate Real Analysis: Comparing Peer Discussion and Instructional Explanation Settings

Peer Instruction, first introduced by Eric Mazur in the late '90 s, is a method aiming at active student participation in lectures. It includes conceptual questions (so-called ConcepTests) presented to the students, who vote on answer alternatives presented to them and then discuss their answers in small groups. As professors have been reported to implement several variants of this method, it is highly desirable to understand the specific effects of the individual elements of the method (tasks, voting, and discussions in small groups). In the present study, we focus on the role of the discussion phase (peer discussion). Our study implemented two conditions: Peer Instruction in classical fashion, and a variant, in which peer discussion was replaced with instructional explanation by a tutor. Students in a course on Real Analysis were randomly assigned to the two conditions for two semesters. As far as learning outcomes are concerned, we do not measure these in terms of voting results within Peer Instruction cycles but we are focusing on transfer in terms of results in the final exams of the two semesters. Interestingly, we found no significant difference between the two conditions. Additionally, we had positive evaluations of the use of Peer Instruction in both variants, with no significant differences between the groups either. Regarding affective variables and learning strategies, no difference in the development could be detected. As an important practical implication, these results show that both implemented variants of the Peer Instruction method are justifiable as far as learning outcomes, measured by exam results, or students’ assessment of the method are concerned. Our results put the widespread belief that it is mainly the peer discussion that accounts for the success of the use of ConcepTests into question.

University students’ fully digital study of mathematics: an identification of student-groups via their resources usage and a characterization by personal and affective characteristics

We investigated university students’ study of mathematics in the digital setting context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We gathered data from a survey of 89 students enrolled in a ‘Linear Algebra 1’ course including affective variables, learning strategies, social relatedness and resources considered useful. The results indicate students’ high effort and self-regulation and a high variation in affective characteristics and social relatedness. All the traditional aspects of mathematics teaching (lecture, tutorials and lecture notes) were rated as particularly useful. In addition, the videos from external resources were rated as equally useful as the teaching team’s videos. In contrast, traditional literature such as textbooks was rarely considered useful. The most useful resource rated was communication with peers, underlining the important role of social learning despite fully digital learning environments. Finally, a cluster analysis based on students’ rated usefulness of the resources led to three different user-types. Whereas the ‘digitals’ find the external digital resources very useful (videos, webpages, etc.), the ‘traditionalists’ rate the digitalized traditional resources best (lecture, tutorials, etc.). All resources receive uniformly good ratings from a third group (‘all resource users’). We reflect on our findings in light of the pandemic and describe directions for future research.

ANALYSIS OF SPEAKING ANXIETY AND AFFECTIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING AMONG STUDENTS OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN MEDAN

This study examines the speaking anxiety level and the employment of affective language learning strategies among English Applied Linguistics students in Medan, including the relationship between the two aforementioned variables. The research data were collected by administering a set of questionnaire encompassing 11 items assessing the comprehension apprehension factor and 6 items assessing fear of negative evaluation factor which were adopted from Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scales and also 6 items assessing the affective language strategies. There were 60 students of English Applied Linguistics participated in the study, comprising of 16 male students and 44 female students. This study found that the level of the speaking anxiety of the respondents was generally moderate, with the level of comprehension apprehension factor and the fear of evaluation were also moderate. The results suggest that the respondents in the present study moderately employed the affective language learning strategies in English medium classes. This study also found that students’ speaking anxiety level is negatively correlated with the involvement of affective language learning strategies in the process of language learning.

The virtual field trip: conditions of access/ibility and configurations of care in teaching ethnography (during Covid-19)

Online learning as an emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic provides a set of challenges that all educators had to navigate in their approach to teaching. This article details our experiences, as young educators, with developing a remote version of the anthropology field trip. The initial hard lockdown in South Africa determined the minimal conditions of emergency remote teaching (ERT). First, a necessary condition for the field trip was that teaching and learning had to take place asynchronously to account for the various contexts where students were situated. Second, we had to strike a balance between empathy towards students’ varying access to ERT and ensuring that the teaching objectives and standards remained appropriate for their level of study. Third, the role of mentorship in the process was a critical element of the virtual field trip and enabled us to engage affective learning strategies and facilitate epistemic access. Due to the shared navigation of ERT between students and educators, a reflexive and critical pedagogy strongly informed our later adaptations of the course. We conclude with reflections on the challenge of teaching/learning ethnography remotely and a brief statement on the value of critical and experimental pedagogies for remote situations.

Pronunciation Learning Strategies Used among Thai EFL Tertiary Students with Different Self-Evaluated Pronunciation Abilities

The current research aimed to 1) identify the pronunciation abilities of EFL tertiary students at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Phitsanulok (RMUTL PLC) according to their self-evaluation, 2) reveal the English pronunciation learning strategies employed among EFL tertiary students with different self-evaluated pronunciation abilities, and 3) investigate whether there is any different employment of the English pronunciation learning strategies among the EFL tertiary students with different English pronunciation abilities. The participants were 270 EFL students enrolling in the second semester of the Academic Year 2019. Of the 270 participants, 40 participants anonymously and voluntarily took part in the semi-structured interviews. The data for analyses were obtained through the questionnaire and the semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed, and the qualitative data were scrutinized using the thematic analysis method. The results showed that, of the three pronunciation ability groups, namely good (GG), moderate (MG), and low (LG) groups, most of the EFL tertiary students at RMUTL PLC evaluated themselves as having a moderate English pronunciation ability. The GG participants employed the cognitive pronunciation learning strategy most often, while the MG and LG used the affective and social pronunciation learning strategies most often. Accordingly, the divergent employment of pronunciation learning strategies exists among these EFL tertiary students with diverse pronunciation abilities. They relied on online applications, such as Google Translate, for pronunciation demonstration because of its convenience and ease to access. When the participants did not use an online application, they sought help from their classmates rather than asking the teachers owing to their proximity and intimacy.

Speaking Anxiety, English Proficiency, Affective and Social Language Learning Strategies of ESL Engineering Students in a State University in Northern Luzon, Philippines

The primary aim of this paper is to examine the speaking anxiety, affective and social language learning strategies and English language proficiency among ESL Agricultural and Biosystems and Civil Engineering students of a state university in Northern Luzon, Philippines including the possible relationship among the aforementioned variables. The research adapted six (6) items on Affective Language Learning Strategies (ALLS) and six (6) items on Social Language Learning Strategies (SLLS) by Oxford (1990); the Foreign Language Communication Anxiety Scale designed by Horwitz et al. (1986) and the English Proficiency Test developed by Commission on Higher Education were utilized in this study. The findings disclose that the speaking anxiety level of the respondents is moderate. It was noted that they are uneasy every time teachers called them to recite in English class unprepared. To add more, their ALLS and SLLS are both somewhat true for them and the repondents’ English Proficiency Level is moderate. It also showed that small negative correlation exists between their English proficiency and speaking anxiety. However, a medium and small positive correlation established when their speaking anxiety and ALLS was correlated. And a small positive correlation was obtained in the correlation between the respondents’ speaking anxiety and SLLS. The research concludes with a list of recommendations on how to lessen speaking anxiety in the English language classroom to ESL learners.

Influence of Language Learning Strategies to the English Proficiency Test Performance of College Students

Learning of English as second and even foreign language has been stressed out in all levels of education. Thus, teachers and researchers have been focusing on describing externally observable behaviors of language learners, followed by attempts to label categorized strategic behaviors and link them to language proficiency. This descriptive correlational study aimed to describe the extent of learners’ use of the language learning strategies (LLS) and determine its relationship with the English proficiency test performance of college students (N=82). The Oxford’s Strategy Inventory Language Learning (SILL) and a standardized College English Proficiency Test were the main instruments of the study. Results showed that memory, metacognitive, cognitive, compensation, organizing and evaluation and affective learning strategies do not significantly affect students’ English proficiency test performance; whereas social learning strategies is a strong predictor of students’ English proficiency test performance. This research provides a basis for utilizing social learning strategies as an intervention for improving students’ English proficiency.

AIMS AND CONTENTS OF FORMING PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED ENGLISH LANGUAGE COMPETENCE IN MONOLOGUE SPEECH OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN THE SPHERE OF TOURISM

The analysis of modern textbooks for English language training of specialists in the field of tourism has demonstrated lack of correlation between the contents of learning materials and the tasks of future specialists’ training, and, therefore, the necessity to determine the aims and contents of teaching professionally oriented monologue speech. Practical, professional, educational, developmental, instructional aims of forming professionally oriented English language competence in monological speech of specialists in the field of tourism have been specified. The aims define the contents of learning which is regarded as a complex hierarchical structure which summarises what students should learn. Subject and procedural aspects of the contents of forming professionally oriented English language competence in monological speech of specialists in the field of tourism have been determined. The components of subject aspect – spheres of communication (it has been determined that professional sphere dominates), situations and roles, nonverbal means of communication, communicative purposes, topics, texts, language and linguosociocultural material, learning and communicative strategies used to speak effectively – have been analyzed. Taking into account typical professional duties of specialists in the field of tourism, and the positions they may occupy, there have been determined typical communicative situations, roles, intentions of the speakers and styles. For example, communicative situation –presentation of the company, tourist product in front of the audience; communicative role – manager of tourism; communicative intentions – to present the information, describe the advantages, present facts and data, persuade the audience, urge to action; style – official. Direct (mnemonic and cognitive), indirect (metacognitive, social and affective) learning strategies as well as communicative (compensation) strategies have been specified. In terms of procedural aspect monological skills as well as declarative and procedural knowledge which students should master to communicate effectively have been determined. Further research should be focused on selecting learning materials to form professionally oriented English language competence in monological speech of specialists in the area of tourism.
