Using Videos as Authentic Material to Encourage University Students’ Autonomy in Reflective Writing

This research investigates the impact of incorporating videos as a pedagogical tool to encourage reflective writing among university students and enhance their writing autonomy. This study aims to address the challenges students face in reflective writing tasks, by exploring how videos can be effectively integrated into the writing curriculum to promote reflective thinking and independent writing skills. The research methodology involves a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis of student reflections and writing samples with quantitative data on student engagement, writing proficiency, and perceived autonomy in writing. A group of university students in the Written English discipline participates in a writing activity incorporating video prompts, reflective prompts, and self-assessment and peer feedback opportunities. Data is collected through a survey, a writing task, and focus group discussions to assess the impact of video-based interventions on students' reflective writing practices and writing autonomy. Preliminary findings suggest that using videos as a stimulus for reflective writing can enhance student engagement, deepen reflection, and improve writing quality. Furthermore, students report increased confidence in their writing abilities and greater ownership over their writing process. However, challenges such as varying levels of digital literacy, and the need for support in interpreting and analyzing video content is identified. The implications of this research extend to curriculum design, pedagogical strategies, and educational technology integration in higher education settings. By leveraging the affordances of videos to stimulate reflection and promote autonomy in writing, educators can create more engaging and effective learning experiences that empower students as self-directed learners and proficient writers.

How to Enhance Functional Adequacy in Senior High School Students’ Writing

With the reform of the new college entrance examination, senior high school English writing has received great attention. The English Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools (2017 Edition Revised in 2020) proposes that English teaching in senior high schools should focus on cultivating students’ core competence in the English discipline. In particular, English writing, which can fully reflect students’ comprehensive English application skills, plays a significant role in English learning. However, according to current learning situation, the writing performance among senior high school students is not satisfactory. In the recent years, the importance of functional adequacy as an essential component of L2 proficiency has been observed by some scholars. Based on this, this study highlights the effectiveness of functional adequacy in facilitating students’ writing performance and emphasizes the importance of developing students’ pragmatic writing ability. Also, this study explores how to develop functional adequacy in senior high school students’ writing and puts forward some pedagogical implications of improving pragmatic performance in writing for English teachers.

Neck pain but not neurologic disease occurs more frequently in horses with transposition of the ventral lamina from C6 to C7.

To determine reasons for horses to have neck radiographs performed, the incidence of transposition of the ventral lamina of C6 onto C7 (TC67), and the final diagnoses for all horses. Our hypotheses were to find a similar incidence of TC67, as has been previously reported, and an increased incidence of neck pain and dysfunction in horses with TC67. 135 horses. Retrospective observational study. Medical records of 135 horses with cervical vertebral column radiographs between 2020 and 2022 were assessed. Patient signalment, reasons for radiographs, radiographic findings, and diagnoses were analyzed. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normality determination. Nonparametric tests were used to analyze data. 20% of horses were diagnosed with TC67. Significantly more horses with TC67 were warmblood horses (63%); TC67 was found in 28% of warmblood horses. There was no significant difference in signalment or whether horses were in work between the groups, although significantly more horses with TC67 performed in English disciplines (71%). No differences in reasons for examination or final diagnoses of neurologic disease, cervical orthopedic disease, or lameness were present between groups. In horses with neck pain, TC67 was significantly more common (31%) than in horses without (18%). Our results indicated that TC67 occurs more in warmblood horses. In the small group of horses with neck pain reported, TC67 was more commonly seen than in those without. Given the complexity of this region and the paucity of studies exploring neck pain and neck biomechanics, we suggest the need for standardized prospective studies.

Poetry and the Inapprehensible: A Genealogy

Abstract: Through close readings of William Langland, John Keats, Anne Carson, and Ben Lerner, this essay describes an enigmatic effect in and of English literature. Proposing Christian apophaticism as both source and analogue of literary styles, the essay introduces the concept of "apophatic effects," references to a literary realm not merely virtual but definitively inaccessible to perception. The imaginative leap that modern scholars value in English literature, epitomized by Keats's speaker's reflections on the urn, is a form of theological thinking that has forgotten where it came from. The essay touches on the relationship between literature and theology, the formation of the discipline of English, the definition of lyric, and Keats's influence on contemporary North American avant-garde poetry.

Silence in the Classroom: Reflections on Teaching Poetry in UK Secondary Schools and Universities

Abstract This extended contribution to English’s forum on teaching poetry seeks to shift discussion away from the capabilities, expectations, and motivations of students in university poetry seminars and invite university educators to reflect on how aspects of their practice consciously and unconsciously effect how poetry is understood by new generations. The article recounts how the author’s understanding of silence in poetry classrooms in schools and universities has developed over time. In doing so, it models processes of reflective practice and reflexivity that might be less familiar to university teaching colleagues than it is to those who have undertaken training to teach in schools. The article argues that engaging with processes of reflective practice not only stands to benefit individual poetry teachers and their students, but can also empower us to think more critically and collectively about the purposes we serve and the principles that underpin our work as educators in the discipline of English.

LANGUAGE POLICY OF UKRAINE: METHODOLOGY OF ANGLICIZATION IN EDUCATION

The object of the article’s research is the policy of Anglicization in the field of education. The purpose of the article is to reveal the problem of anglicization on the basis of the official educational documents «Conceptual principles of state policy regarding the development of the English language in the field of higher education» (2012) and «Methodological recommendations for ensuring high-quality study, teaching and use of the English language in higher educational institutions of Ukraine» (2023) as threatening the state status of the Ukrainian language. Among the tasks is to analyze the nature of Anglicization in the educational and legislative field of Ukraine. The subject of the study is the principles, methodological recommendations and legislative initiatives of Anglicization in the educational field of Ukraine. In the research, we apply the national principle of assessment of sociolinguistic phenomena and the analytical-descriptive method, which makes it possible to reveal the xenophilic nature of language policy in the conditions of war. As a result of the adopted «Conceptual principles...» (2014), «Methodological recommendations...» (2023) and a number of other proposals, the English language acquires the highest level of prestige, eliminating the state Ukrainian language from apriority position in the field of education. The neutralization of the Ukrainian language occurs from within and without: from within - through the introduction of courses in professional disciplines in English, English for professional purposes and for academic purposes with passing exams as a condition for the career growth of the teaching staff; from without - through the planned transformation of the status of the English language in the legislative field of Ukraine. The spread of the English language should by no means narrow the scope of the Ukrainian language in its own state, and not only because the Ukrainian language has nowhere else to develop as in Ukraine. The officialization and protection of the Ukrainian language in the educational field is a preserved national identity. It is the imbalance between the state Ukrainian language and the dominance of both Russian and English that causes reasonable concern about the independence of our Ukrainian perspective and the subjectivity of Ukraine on the world political chessboard.

Playful literacies and pedagogical priorities: digital games in the English classroom

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the characteristics of playful literacies in case study research examining digital games in secondary English classrooms. It analyzes how educators use play as a resource for meaning-making and the impacts of play on student learning.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a keyword search in relevant academic databases to identify articles within specified search parameters. This was followed by bibliographic branching to identify additional articles. Following the identification of 30 articles, two rounds of open coding were used to identify themes for analysis.FindingsThe literature revealed five types of playful pedagogical practices: single-player gameplay, turn-taking gameplay, multiplayer play, play-as-design and little or no gameplay. Discussion of these findings suggests that classroom play was a highly social activity across case studies. Furthermore, boundaries between types of play and their contributions to learning were blurred and often disrupted normative approaches to curriculum and teaching.Originality/valueGiven the novelty of replacing traditional texts with digital games in English classrooms, this study represents an important moment to pause and review the literature to date on a particular, understudied aspect of digital games in English curricula: their playfulness. This is especially important given the innovative ways in which digital play can shift thinking about meaning-making and narrative, two historically dominant concerns within the discipline of English.
