In the context of EFL teaching and learning, it is frequently perceived as an impediment to the student's learning, particularly in communicative classrooms. Although several studies on the impact of CS have been conducted, little attention is paid to the approach and opinions of instructors on the use of CS in EFL classrooms, particularly beginner teachers who frequently struggle in their first years due to a lack of experience. This study recruited 5 beginner teachers who are working in an English language center that employs strict English-only regulations. To learn about the use of CS in the classroom, qualitative research methods were used, including audio-recording for each class observation session, class notes, and teacher speech transcription. To obtain information on the instructor's reflections and opinions, stimulated recall interviews and semistructured interviews were conducted. The findings reveal that CS existed even with a rigorous English-only policy. Furthermore, the participants believe that, while target language immersion is essential, using the first language (L1) may benefit both the teacher and the students. Each teacher in this study demonstrated the use of several approaches to enhance the effective use of L1 in their classroom. The study provides an opportunity for self-reflection not just for the participants but also for language teachers interested in CS. The study's findings are used to make recommendations for the use of CS in the EFL classroom. Some of the data may also aid in the development of a language usage policy for language instructors and policymakers in English language teaching institutions.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to investigate the under-explored subject of code-switching (CS) used by EFL teachers in adolescent classrooms in the context of Vietnamese language centers. The gap that the present study attempts to fill is finding out teachers' attitudes towards CS, its frequency and the situations in which they use it as well as pedagogical and affective factors influencing their decisions regarding CS. The research involved both qualitative and quantitative methods in which the data was collected from different sources: questionnaires, classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with the observed teachers. Thirty teachers participated in the study. Five of them were first observed and interviewed before the distribution of the questionnaires. The results show that most teachers had positive attitudes towards the practice of code-switching. However, a minority of them though the prohibition of L1 would bring more benefits to students in the learning process. The frequency of teachers' code-switching varied in different situations but it was mostly used for explaining grammar explicitly, maintaining classroom discipline, and strengthening relationships with students. The most common percentage of L1 used in the classroom was from 10% to 30% but it was used more frequently if students were slow learners. The teachers believed pedagogical and affective factors such as students' level and teachers' effort to share identity and build stronger bonds with students influenced significantly their decision to codeswitch. Regarding code-switching use, pedagogical concerns appeared to affect them more than affective ones. These findings provide insights into Vietnamese EFL teachers' code-switching in teaching adolescents in a language center and reveal totally new perspectives compared with previous studies. Although code-switching is considered a great tool to make the lesson accessible to students, teachers should use it moderately and in a strategic way to avoid doing it habitually and automatically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With emphasis on teacher and learner code-switching patterns, this book is one of the first studies to comprehensively address these issues in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The author examines teacher and learner code-switching through quantitative analysis, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and mixed methods used in the study of code-switching. She addresses current debates on the amount of first language (L1) use, the functions of L1 use, the functions of teacher only code-switching patterns and the functions of teacher and learners shared code-switching patterns in foreign language classrooms. The book explores the implications of EFL classroom code-switching and how this can feed into better understanding of foreign language learning and teaching, language teacher development and new research directions in TESOL and applied linguistics. The principles and discussions of EFL classrooms are easily generalised to other language classrooms. This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of second language acquisition, applied linguistics, and ELT, as well as researchers in the fields of sociology, education, and ethnomethodology.
Book Synopsis Efl Teachers' Beliefs and Practices on Code-Switching by : Javad Gholami
Download or read book Efl Teachers' Beliefs and Practices on Code-Switching written by Javad Gholami and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over whether English language teachers should include or exclude students' native language in their instruction has been a contentious issue for a long time but as of yet the research findings have not been persuasive. The present study investigated the beliefs and instructional practices with respect to the use of L1 by Iranian EFL high school teachers. In general, the findings showed that there existed no correlation between the teachers' beliefs and their instructional practices. However, this study found that in certain areas of teacher talk, there was a relationship between the stated beliefs and practices. Furthermore, there was a consistency between some micro- and macro- functions of language and the use of L1 by teachers. Reading this book can help non-native English teachers to reflect on their practices and beliefs regarding code-switching and the use of their learners' mother tongue in their English classes.
Book Synopsis Possible Effects of Teachers' Code-switching in Chinese EFL Classrooms by : Lian Chen
Download or read book Possible Effects of Teachers' Code-switching in Chinese EFL Classrooms written by Lian Chen and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An important element in L2 success appears to be how learners are treated: the teaching method used with them, the language they hear, and the environment in which they are teaching" (Cook, 1991:129). Thus, for Chinese EFL teachers, the teaching pattern they use is of great importance to students' target language acquisition. However, as do most Chinese college EFL teachers for non-English majors, they are facing a classroom teaching pattern dilemma: while holding the belief that teaching English only through English is necessary for learners' better English acquisition, teachers use code switching between English and Chinese as teaching support in their teaching practice. This study is designed to cast light on the effectiveness of the two different teaching patterns, English only and code switching between English and Chinese, in Chinese EFL classrooms. Two intact classes of Chinese second year college non-English major students were chosen as respectively an experimental and a control group.

Book excerpt: Bilingualism is a phenomenon where two or more language varieties are used in speech community. In educational setting in Indonesia, students learn English as a foreign language. English which is taught from elementary school until university level becomes an essential course in the educational program. English has been regarded as the compulsory subject. The English teacher can use more than one language since they are bilingual who can alternate between two different languages during teaching learning process. So, english teacher will use code switching while teaching in the classroom. The teacher began the utterance with English then moved into Indonesian. After that, it switch to local language and backed to English again. This code switching phenomenon often occurs in EFL classroom. Sometimes, English teacher switches from one code to another code in teaching the lesson, they think that the students do not know the meaning of some words or phrases spoken by the teacher. By knowing more about code switching, the English teacher can use it as a communication strategy in the process of English Language Teaching (ELT). This book show us about code switching that english teacher which includes form, meaning and causal factors.
Book Synopsis Vietnamese EFL Teachers' Purposes and Perceptions of First Language in the Online English Classroom in an English Language Center by : Thi Quynh Nhu Bui

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over the role of L1 in EFL classrooms has lasted for decades. Some researchers support the L1 use in classrooms for its benefits to the EFL learners; however, other researchers are concerned that learners' exposure to L2 would be reduced by teachers' over-reliance on L1. Because of its huge influence on the EFL learners, there has been a considerable number of studies on this issue in a variety of learning settings; nevertheless, investigations into the L1 use in online classes are limited despite the rise of online learning in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Thus, this study attempted to examine Vietnamese EFL teachers' purposes and perceptions of using L1 in online classes in the context of English centers in Vietnam. The research tools of this study involve classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with 7 EFL Vietnamese teachers who were teaching online classes at an English center. The findings indicated that teachers had a great preference for using L1 for managerial functions of L1. It was also found that overall, teachers had positive attitudes towards the use of L1 in online classes. Although participants acknowledged that the proper use of L1 would be beneficial to students' L2 acquisition, the improper use of L1, such as the over-reliance on L1, would create bad habits for students. Accordingly, teachers suggested that the frequency and purposes of L1 should be adjusted to target learners' competencies. Moreover, the findings suggested that teachers' actual use of L1 in terms of purposes and frequency in online classes are not compatible with their self-evaluation of L1 use. The findings also indicated that teachers did not have particular pedagogical principles of using L1. Thus, detailed and clear guidelines of L1 use should be developed and applied in classrooms.

Book Synopsis Building Teacher Capacity in English Language Teaching in Vietnam by : Van Canh Le
Download or read book Building Teacher Capacity in English Language Teaching in Vietnam written by Van Canh Le and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume opens a window on issues related to English language education in Vietnam. The authors consider that teacher quality is the key factor to be considered if the national English language curriculum outcomes are to be achievable. Aiming to shed light on key issues recently observed in the Vietnamese landscape of English language education, it examines the complexity of the institutionalization of the standardized English proficiency policy, which has been in force since 2008. That policy uses the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) as the model to set the standards and levels of proficiency for teachers, learners and state employees. The book presents both the theoretical and practical aspects of the standardization movement in English language education. The contents comprise a series of extended research-based chapters written by experts of language-in-education policy and planning in and about Vietnam from a range of perspectives including teachers, English language curriculum developers, teacher educators and researchers. The rich coverage of the book includes current discussion on English language education in Vietnam ranging from policy to practice, making it highly relevant to English teachers, teacher educators, and scholars, in Vietnam and worldwide, who aspire to broaden their horizons and professionalism.

Book Synopsis Factors Influencing EFL Novice Teachers' Adoption of Technologies in Classroom Practice by : Huong Thi Bao Dinh
Download or read book Factors Influencing EFL Novice Teachers' Adoption of Technologies in Classroom Practice written by Huong Thi Bao Dinh and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primary research conducted with 12 Vietnamese teachers of English using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews has revealed that big investment into technological infrastructure and the top-down approach of implementing technological change in English teaching are not a guarantee for the adoption of technology by English teachers in their classroom practice. Even when the teachers are receptive to using technologies and not afraid of losing face when they are not as technically competent as their students, without prompt technological professional development and timely technical support for teachers, the teachers cannot fully adopt technologies in their classroom teaching. Appended are: (1) A Sample of the questionnaire; and (2) Interview Questions. (Contains 2 figures.) [Paper was selected to include in CAMTESOL SELECTED PAPERS 5th Edition in October 2009.].
Book Synopsis Teacher Code-switching in a Chinese EFL Context by : Qiongmei Jiang
Download or read book Teacher Code-switching in a Chinese EFL Context written by Qiongmei Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study is conducted in a normal university (i.e., teachers university) in Southwest China. The main aim is to investigate the issue of teacher code-switching between English and Chinese in the Chinese EFL context. Teacher code-switching is a controversial issue and a focus of research for decades. However, it has not drawn much attention and has not been adequately explored in China although it is frequently observed in the Chinese EFL classroom. This situation arouses my interest, so I conduct the study, attempting to find out when and why EFL teachers code switch, and what teachers and learners think of this bilingual phenomenon. By this study, it is hoped that some useful information or implications can be got to contribute to the present EFL teaching in China. The study involves 120 student participants and 3 teacher participants.
Book Synopsis Code Choice in the Language Classroom by : Glenn S. Levine
Download or read book Code Choice in the Language Classroom written by Glenn S. Levine and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Code Choice in the Language Classroom argues that the foreign language classroom is and should be regarded as a multilingual community of practice rather than as a perpetually deficient imitator of an exclusive second-language environment. From a sociocultural and ecological perspective, Levine guides the reader through a theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical treatment of the important roles of the first language, and of code-switching practices, in the language classroom. Intended for SLA researchers, language teachers, language program directors, and graduate students of foreign languages and literatures, the book develops a framework for thinking about all aspects of code choice in the language classroom and offers concrete proposals for designing and carrying out instruction in a multilingual classroom community of practice.
Book Synopsis First Language Use in Second and Foreign Language Learning by : Miles Turnbull
Download or read book First Language Use in Second and Foreign Language Learning written by Miles Turnbull and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers fresh perspectives on a controversial issue in applied linguistics and language teaching by focusing on the use of the first language in communicative or immersion-type classrooms. It includes new work by both new and established scholars in educational scholarship, second language acquisition, and sociolinguistics, as well as in a variety of languages, countries, and educational contexts. Through its focus at the intersection of theory, practice, curriculum and policy, the book demands a reconceptualization of code-switching as something that both proficient and aspiring bilinguals do naturally, and as a practice that is inherently linked with bilingual code-switching.

Book Synopsis The Use of Educational Code-switching in Saudi University EFL Classrooms by : Ali Hussain Ali Almuhayya
Download or read book The Use of Educational Code-switching in Saudi University EFL Classrooms written by Ali Hussain Ali Almuhayya and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study observed the use of educational code-switching to the L1 (Arabic) among six Arabic EFL teachers at Majmaah University, in Saudi Arabia. It used an a priori set of purposes based on Creswell (2003) and derived categories to examine the linguistic, social, and class management purposes behind code-switching. The instrument consisted of two parts: a demographic questionnaire and an audio recorder used in conjunction with a classroom observation sheet. Although some studies have suggested that educational code-switching to the L1 in EFL classrooms is an unconscious act (e.g., Moghadam, Abdul Samad, & Shahraki, 2012), the present study's results concluded the reverse: that the use of educational code-switching could be interpreted as an intentional practice among teachers in EFL classrooms. The results provided a more in-depth understanding of the use of educational code-switching to the L1 (Arabic). They agreed with previous studies that have found such code-switching to be very common among EFL teachers. Although participants displayed different linguistic, social, and class management purposes, analysis of the data revealed that certain purposes were more common than others, with linguistic purposes being far more common than social, class management, or other purposes. The most common linguistic purpose was to explain new words, and for class management was to clarify activities/exercises. Only two purposes, to engage in small talk with students and to connect between sentences, could not be categorized into one of the three main types.
