This paper examines whether and how L2 learners’ reading strategies vary depending on the task type or on the measure of eliciting strategy use. Participants were 28 college students in a Korean university. Two reading tasks (i.e., reading for comprehension vs. reading for summarizing) and three measures of strategy use (i.e., pre-reading strategy survey, while-reading think aloud, and post-reading strategy check list) were employed to answer the posed research questions. The researcher’s observation of the participants’ thinking-aloud and a post-task interview were also implemented for data triangulation. All the participants completed two tasks based on two texts (one for each) selected from the same chapter in a book that were considered equivalent in length, readability, and topic. The results revealed that the number of reading strategies reported decreased dramatically in the order of strategy survey, strategy check list, and think aloud. Significantly more frequent use of reading strategy was found in reading for comprehension than in reading for summarizing, large portion of which was devoted to bottom-up style decoding, while in reading for summarizing the students approached the text with more focused attention caring about propositional connections at discourse level. Some other findings are presented along with implications for reading research and for L2 reading instruction.

Due to the increase in international trade, mass transportation, and information technology, the role of English as a global language has changed, and conventional EFL/ESL motivation needs paradigmatic reconstruction. This study compares Dörnyei’s (2009) recent proposal of a second language (L2) motivat-ional self-system with Gardner’s (1985) socio-educational model by investigating 2,832 Korean students’ English learning motivation from Grades 3 through 12 in 14 different schools. The cross-grade survey results indicated that Korean EFL learners’ motivational intensity showed a curvilinear pattern, which means their motivation consistently decreased until Grade 9 but increased from Grades 10 to 12. A series of regression analyses showed that Dörnyei’s L2 motivational self-system was a better predictor than Gardner’s socio-educational model in terms of the explanatory power for students’ English proficiency; students’ ideal L2 and ought-to L2 selves explained better than integrativeness and two types of instrumentality (i.e., promotion- and prevention-based). This confirms the findings of recent literature conducted in different nations. Also, the study provides empirical evidence that the ought-to L2 self, which is an external, social form of L2 motivation, functions only at the cognitive level, whereas the ideal L2 self, a more internalized form, taps into both the cognitive and affective levels.

This paper explored the relative roles of grammar and vocabulary in different L2 reading tasks, i.e., scanning and receptive reading. The participants involved 14 advanced and 14 intermediate adult ESL learners with diverse L1 backgrounds, enrolling at a university-affiliated language institute. For the scanning task, the participants were asked to read two English articles and highlight each occurrence of a key word given at the outset for each article. For the receptive reading task, the participants read another two articles for comprehending and remembering the content and to answer 7 multiple-choice comprehension questions for each article. Additionally, the participants completed a 35-item multiple-choice grammar test and a 20-item multiple-choice vocabulary test. The results of a multiple regression analysis revealed that relative importance of vocabulary and grammar varied depending on the types L2 reading task.

This study examines the relationship between students’ perceptions of learning contexts and motivation to learn English in Korea. Three categories of contexts were operationalized: the transnational context as learners’ international interest including study-abroad desires, the national context as awareness of English learning to prepare for CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) and their classroom experience as the last category. A total of 433 high school students were assessed on measures of L2 learning goals, perception of contexts, self-reported L2 proficiency and motivational intention in the questionnaire, followed by focal participants’ interviews and essays. The statistical analyses show that transitional and classroom categories are statistically correlated with motivational intention. However, the national context is negatively correlated with actual motivation. Multiple regression analyses found that the transnational category is the best predictor for motivational intention, while the national category involves the least significant predictor. The students’ classroom experience is also a meaningful, milder than transnational, predictor. Synthesized results of both quantitative and qualitative data suggest that L2 motivation is more of a sociolinguistic construct that should be construed in relation to multiple social contexts. Findings also suggest Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) notion of the ideal L2 self can better explain the complexity of L2 learning motivation, whereby the integrative-instrumental dichotomy loses its explanatory power.

This article provides theoretical perspectives on continuing professional development (CPD, henceforth) and in-service teacher education and training (INSET, henceforth). Regarding good practice in INSET and CPD for English language teachers, implications are drawn from the review of international practice in different situations. The first is to recognize the unique context each school has; there cannot be a ‘one size fits all’ policy for every school in a given system. Not imposed by outsiders on teachers, successful professional development and change should start with the English teacher and the acknowledgement of his or her agency. At the heart of professional development is English teachers’ willingness to open up their practice to public scrutiny. The review of the literature suggests that information technology has enabled online professional communities to be established amongst diverse school contexts across geographical boundaries. A collaborative professional learning environment for English language teachers is recognized as a critical component in the success of CPD and INSET. It is suggested that educational systems should provide the conditions fostering such professional learning environments for the benefit of both English teachers and their pupils.

This paper examines one child’s L2 (speaking and writing) development in social contexts of learning over a six-month period from the age of seven years and five months. It describes L2 development during the first months of the child’s schooling and interprets it in terms of a socio-semantic approach to language learning. The study, which adopts a qualitative approach in an interpretivist/constructionist research paradigm, entailed the collection and interpretation of data through multiple sources: observation, interviews, and written and spoken texts. The analytical framework is provided by systemic functional linguistics and an overall theoretical framework is formed by Vygotsky’s and Halliday’s theories. The results show that the child’s ability to encode meaning became increasingly rich over the research period; the child’s meaning making potential expanded and her thinking became conscious as her L2 developed. The child’s L2 learning took place in social contexts involving herself with others. The paper argues that these social relationships substantially drove the child’s L2 development, in addition to effectively enhancing her writing and speaking, suggesting that the language learner needs to learn to use language in social interaction.

This paper aims to examine the online learning service called the Cyber Home Learning System (CHLS), which was introduced in 2004 and has been in operation nationwide since 2005. It appears questionable as yet whether the CHLS has obtained a promising outcome. This study, therefore, aims to investigate how many secondary students are currently utilizing the English contents in the CHLS and how they perceive this service. The results of this study indicated that English contents of the CHLS were utilized by only a small number of students, and the contents were rarely perceived as useful. In particular, students perceived that there was little interaction with teachers in cyber space as well as in a classroom setting. Furthermore, five items were identified as the major reasons that hinder students from using the CHLS: lack of promotion; difficulty of self-directed learning; lack of time; low quality; and inconvenience. The results of this study suggest that teachers are influential in affecting students’ perception toward the CHLS, and that it is of paramount importance to renew the CHLS based on the results of a needs analysis.

This study examines how students and instructors perceived online instructors’ roles in asynchronous courses designed for language teachers. Five instructor interviews, 46 student questionnaires, and ten course evaluation summaries presenting the opinions of 69 out of 120 students in total were analyzed. Based upon Berge’s (1995) framework, asynchronous online course instructors’ roles were divided into four categories: pedagogical, social, managerial, and technical. The results highlight and give suggestions to what is characteristic and likely problematic in online teaching—using the tools and pedagogical techniques to make learning more social than conventional classroom exhibit, orchestrating discussion not only technically but also by instructing and modeling effective postings, assessing the various ways that students participate in the class, and managing time, the students’ as well as the instructor’s. This study provides an opportunity for language educators and researchers to think about the unique characteristics of web-based distance education in general and the changing roles of instructors in that new form of education in more critical way.
