WEB-BASED LANGUAGE CLUB AFFECTING EFL LEARNERS' PROFICIENCY: A CASE OF IRANIAN LEARNERS

Abstract: Language clubs have been reported to be effective in learning languages, increasing motivation and independence (Gao, 2009). The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of a web-based language club on the language proficiency of Iranian EFL learners. A number of pre-intermediate learners form two universities (118) were selected among 154 through a test of proficiency (TOEFL PBL), then they were put into experimental and control groups. The participants in experimental group got on line and acted as a member of a virtual language club for a period of 6 months. They got involved with activities like emailing, chatting, and weblogging. Data were collected through TOEFL PBL. The analyzed data from the test of proficiency indicated the outperformance of those in experimental group. Consequently, it might be proposed that web-based language clubs can make language learning easier and more efficient.      Keywords: Web-based language club, English Proficiency, EFL learner

Diseño de clases para la gestión efectiva de grupos docentes

Póster presentado en EDUNOVATIC 2022, VII Congreso Virtual Internacional de Educación, Innovación y TIC, 14-15 diciembre 2022.¿Cuál es la manera más efectiva de organizar una asignatura donde están involucrados un grupo heterogéneo de profesores? Quizás la respuesta no está en la forma de organizar, sino más bien en cómo se estructura y planifica la docencia de dicha asignatura. El desafío latente es el de coordinar una asignatura con 12 profesores diferentes, entre ellos varios profesores asociados, donde se pretende mantener el mismo nivel educativo, pues la evaluación de todos los grupos, es la misma. Hasta ahora, se hacía una gestión de personal directa y cercana por parte del coordinador para llevar un control de cómo evoluciona cada grupo. Para evitar esa supervisión que supone gran carga de trabajo para un docente, y asegurar una mayor efectividad docente, se ha procedido a llevar la planificación de la asignatura un paso más allá. Hasta ahora existía un material compuesto por apuntes de teoría y ejercicios, con un cronograma vago basado en la experiencia de los profesionales que llevaban más tiempo impartiendo la asignatura. Como innovación, se ha procedido a hacer lo siguiente: 1) Imponer el objetivo de enseñar como máximo 3 elementos nuevos en cada clase. 2) Separar cada tema por lecciones individuales que han de verse en una sesión. 3) Asignar ejercicios a cada lección para afianzar el aprendizaje y que este sea teórico-práctico. 4) Diseñar un cronograma global de la asignatura totalmente especificado donde se incluyen objetivos de evaluación. Como resultado, se ha logrado optimizar los tiempos y llevar una sincronización completa entre el profesorado de la asignatura, sobre todo en aquellos grupos compartidos. Además, este sistema ha permitido optimizar el contenido de cada tema, con el diseño adecuado de ejercicios. A su vez, esta estructura ofrece al alumnado una mayor claridad de qué se va a aprender cada día y cuáles son los objetivos de aprendizaje

Application of Blended Learning through Practical Project-based Instruction: Opportunities and Constraints

This paper aims to highlight the application of Blended Learning (BL) for practical courses in the architecture program in the COVID-19 period. Physical Environment course is a theoretical module for first-year undergraduate students in the architecture program. Despite the course being written in theoretical structure, it was proposed to reorient the course into mixed methods with practical activities through online researching, site visiting, and reporting. This research applied a qualitative method with the application of case study, structured observation, content analysis, graphical analysis, and interpretation techniques. The data was collected from 40 students divided into ten groups, four students per group, to discover the application of BL in a practical and project-based activity. The findings of the research showed the students faced limitations to access the search engines and scientific sources to collect the sources for exercises. A half part of the group did plagiarism in the citation and referencing of the reports. The students present more accurate data in the site visiting and practical activities than the theoretical part. To conclude, the application of BL requires sufficient infrastructure for access to online materials through institutions. The implementation of BL helps the students to personalize and specialize the learning process through their own report design and exercises that are more effective for course delivery. Although the BL is implemented just in the activity and course levels by staff and students, BL mode requires to set-up in both program and institutional levels to achieve the result

The Effectiveness of Hybrid Learning in Improving of Teacher-Student Relationship in Terms of Learning Motivation

The Advanced Mathematical Thinking (AMT) ability is one of the prioritized mathematical abilities needed to be developed in learning mathematics during tertiary education. The present study sought to test the effectiveness of hybrid learning in improving students' advanced mathematical thinking. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The subject of this study was students of a mathematics education study program at a university in Bandung who attended lecture for the multi-variable in a calculus course. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Of the many variable calculus classes consisting of 2 classes, one class was chosen as the experiment group and the other class as the control group. The sample consists of 40 people for each group. Data analysis used the MANOVA test with normality and homogeneity tests as a prerequisite test. The results showed a difference in AMT's significance between the hybrid learning and conventional groups, where hybrid learning had a higher AMT. Other than that, there is a difference in the significance of AMT between the high motivation group and the low motivation group, where high motivation has a higher AMT, and there is an interaction of learning models and motivational factors to increase AMT. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01288 Full Text: PD
