LA GENERATION Z FACE A L’APPRENTISSAGE DES LANGUES ETRANGERES SUR OBJECTIFS SPECIFIQUES

Author(s): Olivia-Cristina Rusu / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2017

The digital evolution calls for a whole new set of skills to be acquired in education both by learners and teachers. This paper puts forward the idea that a personalised education should also be achieved through the use of digital, nomadic pedagogy in order to obtain effective long-term values, especially in the field of foreign language teaching. The visible impact of digital education on young people requires the acknowledgment of the overall use of the “laissez-faire” model in order to acquire the best results. As the use of the computer (CALL) is no longer exclusively sufficient for learning foreign languages for specific purposes, teachers have to recognize that studying foreign languages assisted by the mobile phone (MALL) proves to be a suitable solution. Some practical examples proposed here for learning foreign languages for specific purposes highlight the profitable use of digital literacy grip.

Author(s): Bakhytzhan Ospanova,Rakhila Zh Aubakirova,Bakyt T. Kuanysheva,Gulbanu Kabzhanova,Taskina Irina Anatolyevna,Yuri Vasilievich Tabakaev / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The pandemic has made adjustments to the process of organizing teaching, and ways of organizing pedagogical interaction. In the distance educational process, an increasing place is taken by the organization of interactive communication between teachers and students. The purpose of this research is to study the features of the organization of distance education (using the example of teaching English) in the context of the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred and twelve undergraduates studying at Toraighyrov University filled out the questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of undergraduates believe that the existing instructions and the educational resources provided do not help or do not help enough to develop professional competencies. The majority of respondents indicated that they do not use or do not use enough smart-resources appropriate to their level of preparedness to improve the quality of education in the context of distance learning. These studies can be useful for adjusting educational programs for bachelor's and master's degrees to better meet the needs of students.

The Impact of Physical, Mental, Social and Emotional Dimensions of Digital Learning Spaces on Student’s Depth of Learning: The Quantification of an Extended Lefebvrian Model

Author(s): Ben Harkin,Alan Yates,Lily Wright,Chrissi Nerantzi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Despite the widespread implementation of digital learning spaces (DLS) generally in Higher Education and for COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, a coherent and unified quantification of core aspects of the DLS on student learning has remained elusive. Therefore, this work extends the earlier work of Harkin and Nerantzi (2021), where we employed Lefebvre’s (1991) Trialectic of Space to explain physical, mental, and social aspects of the DLS. In the present paper, we now quantify Lefebvre’s original dimensions (physical, mental, social) and an Extended Lefebvrian Model (ELM; adding emotional experiences) on the depth of learning (DoL) of 188 university students at an undergraduate and postgraduate level. Results revealed that physical, mental, and social dimensions explained 42% of the variance in DoL, with emotion explaining an additional 6% which justifies its addition to our ELM (48%). Furthermore, postgraduate students experienced increased anxiety, held poorer mental representations of the DLS, and rated their DoL lower versus undergraduates. Using our findings as a guide, we highlight improvements to pedagogical practice within the DLS along physical, mental, social, and emotional dimensions to improve the experiences and learning of students in the DLS.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF EXAMINATION POINTS SCORED IN THE ADMISSION TO HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN AZERBAIJAN

Author(s): Yadulla Hasanli,Nazim Hajiyev,Gunay Rahimli / Language(s): English Issue: Sp. Issue/2022

The study assessed, using the Pearson χ2 test, the distribution according to the normal and exponential law, the total scores obtained by applicants in admission exams held by the State Examination Center of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SEC). It was found that points scored by applicants do not follow the normal or exponential distribution, that is, they are asymmetric. Also, based on the dynamic series for the years of 1996-2017, an econometric evaluation was made of the dependence of the average scores obtained by the applicants and as well as deviation from the average score on time. According to the results of the model, it was found that with a time trend, the average score of applicants each year increases by about 1%. We can explain this result by the fact that with the development of science and technology, the opportunity for applicants to access information databases (electronic libraries, Internet, mobile phones, etc.) has increased, and this has a positive effect on the scores collected at the entrance exams and raises the average score.

Pandemia jako czynnik zmiany społecznej. Rodzina a rynek pracy i edukacja

Author(s): Franciszek Kampka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2021

The context of the research conducted was the family’s situation in the face of social changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed to find out what challenges families face today with labour market transformations and educational changes. The methods adopted were a literature review and an analysis of found data. The results confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted or intensified many problems. The first is losing a job or financial stability, resulting in pauperisation, loss of empowerment and identity crisis. The second set of issues involves isolation, working and educating remotely, and balancing family life with work and school online. Third, personal effects include conflict, violence and mental deterioration. Finally, the global impact is, above all, a widening of social inequalities. The conclusions from the analysis results are the need to look for solutions that ensure work and fair pay. Among the proposals discussed are the ecological perspective adopted by Pope Francis, the concept of basic income (discussed, among others, in the works of Guy Standing) and new goals of education indicated by UNESCO.

Author(s): Miruna Luana Miulescu,Mihaela Stingu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

As a result of the closure of higher education institutions, students and teachers had to swiftly adapt to online teaching and learning. The need to design learning environments for students implies choices, adjustments and decisions in order to meet not only students’ expectations but also the conditions in which universities had to operate. Our study seeks to explore the innovative practices used by educators that allowed them to form engaging classrooms in a pre-service teacher education programme during the Covid-19 pandemic. The participants of the present study were educators (n=9) from the teacher training department. By making use of a qualitative inquiry, data was collected through participating at semi-structured interviews via ZOOM videotelephony software. The key findings suggest that the digital instructional setting has been a distinctively challenging experience for university teachers. The sudden shift in institutional teaching activities and conditions reshaped pedagogical practices and challenged the academics to identify and creatively respond to the students’ needs with ingenuity and speed. Therefore, it is paramount that educators retain the advantages of working from home in ways that transform their practice.

Author(s): Mahzad Karimi,Elahe Ghorbanchian / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2022

With the quick transition to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is vital to take the recent development in language teaching methodology into consideration, especially the pedagogical utility of new models of English for Academic purposes (EAP). Accordingly, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of the adjunct model in improving the overall reading comprehension skills of Iranian architecture students in online EAP courses. To this end, from the population of students studying architecture at the Isfahan University of Art, three intact classes, each with 35 sophomore students were selected. While the first class was taught by a language teacher (the Language-driven Group) and the second class received instruction from a content teacher (the Content-driven Group), the third class was taught by applying the adjunct model involving both content and language teachers. At the end of the semester, a reading comprehension test was administrated to all students. The analysis of the data through running a one-way ANOVA and post hoc analysis revealed that the students in the adjunct class outperformed their peers in the other two classes on the reading comprehension test.

Author(s): Anna Turula / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

The paper looks at how an eclectic, gamified course design affects student attitudes to learning grammar as well as how effective such a design is in terms of final-exam results. Described and discussed here is a 2-year study investigating such digital enhancement in a Practical Grammar class. Carried out as experimental, the study involved 2 groups of first-year students of the English Studies programme at the Pedagogical University in Cracow, Poland. In the first research group (N1e=14), which underwent the treatment in the academic year 2016/2017, the traditional grammar class was replaced with a quasi- experimental instruction including elements of gamification, digital input flooding (including pull and push presentation techniques) and enhancement as well as collaborative (structure flashcards and grammar memes) and exploratory (structure samples from multimedia) learning of grammar. At the end of the course, the students’ result of the final grammar test were gathered and compared with the results of the population of first-year students (N1c=113) in whose case the traditional treatment (lecture on rules plus practice in class; practice at home). Additionally the students’ attitudes towards various aspects of the experiment were checked with a survey. The same treatment was repeated (N2e=13; N2c=78) in the academic year 2017/2018.
