ELT lecturers’ communicative language teaching approach in directing students’ emotions in distance learning

Abstract

The study investigated whether, and how, Communicative Language Teaching Approaches (CLTA) significantly influenced students’ academic emotions and achievement in self-directed distance learning. The participants were 76 university students in Denpasar. The data were collected through exam results and two questionnaires. Questionnaire A measured students’ learning intentions, self-encouragement, and motivation, while questionnaire B was the DASS 21. Pearson Correlation was used to analyze the effect of CLTA on student learning intention and performance, and their perception of depression, anxiety, and stress. Descriptive analysis was also performed to examine the students’ levels of negative emotions toward their academic experience. The quantitative results showed a significantly positive correlation between lecturers’ content-based instruction (CBI) and learning intention, rob (0.536) rcv (0.226); lecturers’ communicative language teaching (CLT) correlated positively with learning encouragement, rob (0.655) rcv (0.226); and lecturers’ task-based language teaching (TBLT) correlated positively with motivation, rob (0.671) rcv (0.226). This means that the CLTA strategy strongly and positively encouraged students to study and decreased the students' experiences of negative emotions. The study revealed that the more intensively the CLTA is applied, the fewer students feel depressed, and the better the students’ achievement is. The study suggests that CLTA activates affective, cognitive, and conative norms even in online learning environments.

Exploring EFL students' perceptions and perspectives among different genders on native English teachers’ feedback

“…However, many EFL teachers have not optimally provided feedback to students, and conversely, students have not clearly provided their views on the teacher's strategy for maximizing learning Journal on English as a Foreign Language, 13(2), 628-656 p-ISSN 2088-1657e-ISSN 2502-6615 perspectives (Zacharias, 2007). To support this, Wardana et al (2022) advocate that feedback in communicative-based instruction (CBI) tends to be a two-way or turn-taking assignment between students and the teachers because according to Chang (2010), this approach motivates students to engage more actively in language usage, focusing not only on intricate language aspects but also on effectively conveying meaning. Thus, in light of the aforementioned results, this study underscores the importance of feedback in the communicative approach, which proves beneficial not only through teachers' CF but also in the context of comparing teacher and peer feedback.…”

Investigation on the Current Situation and Reform and Development of College English Teaching in the Big Data Era

“…In the context of the continuous improvement of big data and its related fields, English teaching has undergone new changes in teaching philosophy, teaching content and teaching methods [19][20]. Micro courses, as a new teaching method, have the characteristics of strong interactivity, rich content, and large amount of information, allowing teachers have a deeper understanding of the focus of teaching and promote the expansion of students' thinking and the leap of learning quality.…”

The Impact of English Morphological Awareness on Vocabulary Enrichment: A Causal-Affect Relationship Research

“…The more intensive students understand morphological awareness, the more word entries the students obtained and the better they can perform the English language tasks. Furthermore, morphological awareness can be instructed through communicative-based language teaching to increase EFL learners' involvement and motivation (Wardana et al, 2022).…”
