The Practice of SPSS-based Correlation Analysis in English Teaching Research: An Exploration of the Relationship between Classroom Teaching and Student Achievement

Abstract The quality of English language instruction in the classroom is a pivotal factor influencing students’ learning outcomes and performance in English. Grounded in this research context, this study draws upon relevant theoretical frameworks and examines a cohort of 80 students from the 2023 English class at Anhui Medical College. A multiple regression model was constructed using various dimensions of classroom instruction—namely, content, methodology, organization, teacher competence, instructional attitude, and linguistic features—as independent variables, with students’ English achievements serving as the dependent variable. Utilizing SPSS statistical software, both multiple regression and principal component analyses were employed to investigate the correlations between classroom teaching practices and student performance. The main conclusions of the article after the test are: in the rating of English teaching classroom performance, the teacher’s teaching ability (5.0952) scores high, and the teaching method (3.0324) scores the lowest, and the teacher’s teaching ability has a close relationship with the students’ English achievement. English achievement = 2.136 + 0.223*Teaching content + 0.41*Teaching style + 0.129*Classroom organization + 0.227*Teaching competence + 0.189*Teaching attitude + 0.449Language characteristics. There is a need to improve the performance related to classroom teaching and thus improve the performance of students.

A Study on Exploring the Influence of Teachers’ Interactive Behavior on Teaching Quality of English Classroom in Colleges and Universities by Combining Neural Network Prediction Models

Abstract English is one of the essential contents in the higher education system, and the innovative research of English teaching has become a research hotspot in the academic world. This paper introduces the neural network model to the research of English classrooms in colleges and universities and constructs a neural network prediction model based on teacher-student interaction behavior. It is used to identify, classify, and predict the behavior of teacher-student interactions. Further, explores the impact of teacher-student interaction on student behavior and its quality on college English teaching. The neural network model in this paper achieves optimal performance in the long-term prediction of teacher-student interaction behavior, and the overall short-term prediction accuracy significantly exceeds that of other prediction models. The differences in grade level, gender, and number of lecturers were all significant for the quality of English classroom teaching in colleges and universities. There was a significant correlation between teacher-student interaction behaviors (classroom cooperation, classroom games, classroom communication, and situational interpretation) and English teaching quality (English achievement, classroom participation, and learning interest). Teacher-student interaction behaviors significantly improve English classroom teaching quality and predict teaching quality by up to 45.24% of the explained variance. Classroom cooperation is the primary factor in positive classroom interaction behavior between teachers and students.

Reading the Tulsa Race Massacre: a study exploring a white reader’s shifts in stance across genres of historical text

PurposeUsing a discourse analytic approach, the purpose of this paper is to examine how genre impacts white readers when reading about historic acts of racial violence. Specifically, this study explores one white high school student’s stance-taking as she read an informational text and an eyewitness narrative about the Tulsa Race Massacre.Design/methodology/approachThis study used discourse analysis (Gee, 1999) and the think-aloud method (Pressley and Afflerbach, 1996) to explore the white student’s interactions with genres of historical texts. The authors coupled iterative coding and memoing with discourse analysis to analyze the stances she adopted while reading.FindingsThe findings illustrate that the informational text allowed for a distancing from the racialized violence in the text, whereas the narrative created an opportunity for more connection to those who experienced the violence.Originality/valueWhile genre and reader response has long been explored in English Education research, little research has examined the impact of genre on reading historical texts. This study demonstrates the influence that genre may have on white readers’ emotional responses and stance-taking practices when reading about historic acts of racial violence.

Exploring the Strategies for Indicating Research Gaps Used by Authors in English Education Research Article Introductions

The trend of topics in language education research is affected by how authors convince readers about the issues being discussed. However, the persistence of the topic is not based on the number of scholars who have conducted the research, for instance, collaborative writing topics, but it focuses more on the newness to be contributed to the advancement of knowledge by indicating research gaps. Therefore, this qualitative study, which is specified into genre analysis, aims to describe the strategies for indicating research gaps and the area of gaps that are still needed to be fulfilled in the research of collaborative writing. A corpus consisting of 20 research article introductions (RAIs) published in highly reputable journals with high-impact factors was compiled and subjected to analyze, respectively (i.e., using the frameworks of Lim, 2012 and Ewijk, 2018) the types of research gap strategies and the areas of gaps that have been focused on by the authors. The findings show that the strategy of stating the absence of a specific area in the research of collaborative writing is employed in a vast majority (45.45%). Besides, the area of impact is found as the promising area of gap (occurred 24 times) that the authors tend to focus on. The pedagogical implications of this study are also discussed in this article.

The Application of Input-output Hypothesis in English Listening Teaching

Listening is the foundation of English learning. Listening teaching is also an important part of English teaching classroom, a proper listening teaching method is considered to play an important role in advancing in listening apprehension. The listening teaching strategies in Chinese schools are still inadequate, lack of interesting and efficient, which makes students less productive. To achieve good teaching effect, we found that language input is essential, but the purpose of learning a language is to output, and sufficient input is beneficial to output, which is only possible when language input is greater than language output. Through the analysis of English teaching research in China and abroad, and based on Krashen's input hypothesis, Swain's output hypothesis, the current situation and problems of listening application teaching in Chinese schools, we suggest that teachers should combine listening training with other language skills to make output and input activities complement and promote each other.

An Analysis of Positive Psychology Studies in English Education

This paper analyzes the current status of positive psychology research in English education, which aims to take advantage of the link between learner happiness and success. The data comprised 114 publications (97 original research, 17 reviews) from 1990 to May 2022. The collected studies were analyzed in terms of publication year, participant type, research focus, the major psychological constructs investigated, and their found effects on English learning. The results showed that 92.78% of the original research examined learners as participants, more than half of which was done with undergraduate students. These results suggest that more research is needed on more diverse learner groups, including primary and younger students, third-age learners, and learners with learning difficulties. The most researched psychological constructs consisted of foreign language enjoyment, anxiety, achievement emotions, and motivation, and the most researched focus was the interrelationships among psychological constructs in English learners or their effects on English learning. Their results suggest that future research is needed on the paths by which emotional constructs and character strengths serve as mediators to enhance the quality of English learning. The development of positive psychology intervention strategies and validation of their effects also require further research.

Korean Secondary Students’ Perceptions of Filipino Teachers in a Study Abroad Program

Due to a mismatch of status between American and Filipino English varieties in Korea, study abroad in the Philippines is inherently conflicting for Korean students. To explore this phenomenon, the perceptions of and attitudes towards Filipino teachers of seven secondary Korean students participating in a two-month study abroad in the Philippines in 2020 were investigated. While the students perceived the teachers to be emotionally sensitive, they judged them to be linguistically inferior to native speakers, felt uncomfortable due to unfamiliar communication styles, and considered their pronunciation unintelligible. Moreover, students were unwilling to align with the Filipino variety of English due to its socio-cultural meritlessness. Considering the current status of English as an international language, the findings suggest the need for Korean EFL learners to be more exposed to diverse varieties of Englishes. Based on the students’ selectivity of an acceptable English variety, the discussion suggests labeling the expanding countries as “norm-consuming” and proposes the possibility of adapting models from economics and politics to English education research.

A Study of College Students’ Foreign Language Anxiety in English Learning Based on the Teaching Model of Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol

Foreign language anxiety in English learning has always been a major focus of English teaching research. How to relieve English majors’ foreign language anxiety and improve their classroom participation becomes an imperative issue for English teachers. Based on the American teaching model of Sheltered Teaching and Observation Protocol (SIOP), this study explores whether the SIOP teaching model can help relieve English learning anxiety. The experiment on 60 freshmen majoring in business English shows that the SIOP model can relieve students’ foreign language learning anxiety and improve their classroom participation. The SIOP teaching model is worth popularizing in business English teaching.

CERTAINTY AND SUBJECTIVITY IN ENGLISH EDUCATION RESEARCH: A CROSS CULTURAL SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS

This study examines the use of epistemic modality (expressions that signal varying degrees of certainty and subjectivity) by writers of English education research. Epistemic modality is a crucial, yet intricate, rhetorical device through which writers qualify their claims and construct a stance towards their texts and readers. Disciplinary and cultural norms influence the rhetorical use of modality in academic texts. To understand the impact of these contextual factors, linguistic descriptions need to examine discourse produced in individual disciplines and even subdisciplines. Using an exploratory comparative approach, the present study analyzes education research that is produced by native-English-speaking and EFL Arab writers: (1) to describe the discipline-specific practices that are adopted by native writers to manipulate the degrees of certainty and subjectivity in their discourse; and (2) to explore how these practices vary cross-culturally. Sixty research papers are analyzed using the finely grained model of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The findings show a disciplinary preference whereby native writers avoided expressing hesitancy and doubt and preferred a moderately confident epistemic stance to create convincing arguments. These writers’ epistemic style was also objective and detached. The EFL texts, in contrast, were less dialogic and had higher levels of confidence, explicitness, and subjectivity. Although advanced in their linguistic and disciplinary proficiency, the non-native writers displayed some patterns that are generally characteristic of other Arab and non-Arab L2 writers/learners, indicating the vital role that culture and nativeness play in rhetorical strategy use. The paper ends by highlighting the need for explicit instruction of epistemic modality in Arab higher education institutions in order for non-native writers to produce academic texts that are persuasively effective from the perspective of the international academic community.
