“…Additionally, the results of this study suggest that students may benefit from more guidance on how to apply the concepts learned in educational psychology to their professional practice, as some participants reported struggling with this aspect. Further research could explore more specifically how students can effectively integrate the knowledge gained from this course into their professional lives, likely using advanced technological supports (see, for example, Nurshatayeva et al, 2021), as well as examine the most effective methods for teaching these skills. Further studies in other English-only university contexts are recommended given the unique challenges that arise in English-medium instruction (Nurshatayeva, 2020;Nurshatayeva & Page, 2020).…”

This research paper investigates graduate students' perceptions of a course in educational psychology at a private university in Kazakhstan. A questionnaire was used to gather information about students' overall satisfaction with the course, engagement with the material, and perceptions of the instructor and their teaching style. The data collected was analyzed to identify trends and patterns in students' perceptions, and to compare these perceptions to other variables such as prior knowledge or experience in the field. The results of the study provide valuable insights into students' experiences in the course and could inform efforts to improve similar courses in the future.

“…ICT, for example, allows for the development of new teaching methods and the expansion of teaching resources for teachers (Nurshatayeva, 2011(Nurshatayeva, , 2020Nurshatayeva et al, 2020Nurshatayeva et al, , 2021Weidman & Nurshatayeva, 2018). Teachers can use ICT to help organize and disseminate knowledge, make learning more relevant, encourage critical thinking, problemsolving, cooperative learning, lifelong learning, and collaborative skills in students, increase their efficacy and productivity in the classroom, and reduce their workload.…”

The aim of this research is to investigate the challenges and experiences of novice vs. experienced English teachers in using ICT applications. The data was gathered through semi-structured, in-depth interviews as part of a qualitative study. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The participants of the study are 20 novice and experienced English teachers of secondary schools. Thematic analysis of the data found that the biggest difference between novice and experienced English teachers is in the variety of ICT applications used, since experienced teachers use government-mandated applications, while novice teachers use different applications, and as well as government-mandated applications. Other than that novice and experienced teachers’ experiences and challenges turned out to be quite similar. EFL teachers use ICT applications for various purposes, but most commonly for lesson preparation. The challenges of both teachers were a lack of technology-supported pedagogical courses and a lack of time due to lack of internet connection and technical infrastructure. Implications for future research and recommendations for practice are provided.

“…In the future, it is recommended that research on mobile applications and technology used for English language teaching focus more on recent technological developments such as chatbots providing text messaging support to students, for example, the mobile chatbots explored in Nurshatayeva et al ( , 2021. Another important avenue for research in this direction will be to study how technology and mobile applications, in particular, are used in English-medium instruction, which has been shown to be successfully implemented in Kazakhstani secondary and tertiary educational institutions (Sadykbekova, 2022a(Sadykbekova, , 2022bKozha, 2022;Tlepbergenova, 2022).…”

The study aims to explore Kazakhstani English language teachers’ attitudes towards mobile applications, their experiences, and challenges in using them. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 EFL teachers who work in private and public secondary schools and universities in Kazakhstan. Thematic analysis of the data suggested that EFL teachers’ views on teaching English with the help of mobile language learning applications are overall positive. The data revealed that the EFL teachers use various mobile applications in teaching English. The findings suggest that the EFL teachers value availability and student engagement offered by mobile apps. The challenges of using mobile apps tend to be beyond teachers’ control and include internet issues or lack of equipment. Policy implications for teacher training and professional development are discussed.
