This research aims to find pre-service teacher experience of implementing Video-based Descriptive text during teaching practicum. One insider participant was involved in this research to find his view and perception about the use of video. To process data from participants in the form of self-reflective journals, qualitative methods and thematic analysis are used. This study also presented several other findings, such as emotional and technical problems, social experience, and pedagogical experience. According to this study, when using video-based to teach descriptive writing, participants must put in extra effort, such as making the video interactive and engaging enough for students to watch. Furthermore, the use of video-based has been shown to provide participants with flexibility. One disadvantage of this method is that the teaching process in this way is quite ineffective.

Multiple studies have been conducted in the past on learners’ motivation to learn English language highlighting the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that prompt learners to learn. In comparison with the above, the number of studies conducted on teachers’ own motivation to teach English language is comparatively less. This literature review addresses motivational factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic that influence ESL teachers across the globe. It addresses the following three research questions: What are the motivational factors that influence pre-service ESL teachers? What are the motivational factors that influence in-service teachers? What are the differences found in motivational factors of pre-service and in-service ESL teachers to teach English language? Findings are based on 15 studies published from 2014 to 2021. This review disseminates substantial and needed information to educational institutions’ administrators and policy makers about measures that should be taken to enhance motivation for pre-service and in-service ESL teachers to teach English language.

This study attempts to investigate the position of chance among the factors affecting the career choices of university students according to gender and willingness. For this purpose, the present study based on rank-order judgments of participants was conducted. In present study, the participants (N = 417) ranked the given ten factors in terms of their perceived impact on university department choices. Further, the participants were asked to describe the chance events they experienced related to career choice. The results showed that 28% of the participants stated that chance plays a role in their career choice. Among the factors affecting career choices, chance ranked seventh in the total sample, sixth in females, eighth in males, eighth in those who chose the department willingly, and third in those chose the department unwillingly by the degree of perceived influence. Overall, these results indicate that chance events were prioritized over others such as family demands, friend opinions and media effect. The findings were discussed and implications for career counselling were presented.
