Rintaro Sato – TESL-EJ, 2023
Maximizing English as a foreign language (EFL) students' use of their second language (L2), minimizing native language (L1) can help them to develop L2 proficiency. In the monolingual approach, the exclusion of L1 is preferred. However, students' use of their first language (L1) in code-switching or translanguaging can be advantageous. This study…

English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) students' willingness to communicate (WTC) is required both in face-to-face (F2F) and online learning. While literature had extensively explored students' WTC factors in F2F learning, studies on students' WTC factors in online learning were still limited. Hence, this exploratory factor analysis (EFA) study aimed…

Therefore, the current study examines the factors that increase learners' levels of engagement in extensive…

Grounded in Vygotskian sociocultural theory, we propose a novel methodology for second language teacher cognition research called "dialogic restorying." We exemplify this methodological innovation by presenting a qualitative longitudinal project in which we prompted L2 teachers to revisit and restory what Veresov (2017) calls…

Teacher cognition has been a major topic of interest in applied linguistics as researchers have worked toward "better understanding the fullness of the work of teaching, a fullness that has proved complex and problematic" (Burns et al., 2015, p. 585). This qualitative study draws upon participant interview data in order to analyze and…

This epistemic shift has been paralleled by the global reach of the English language, inspiring scholars to call for a paradigm shift in Applied…
