The impact of prior explicit instruction on EFL task performance
This study examines the effects of the Text, Analysis, Task, Exploration (TATE) model and Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) on EFL learners’ written task performance. Forty-eight fifteen-year-old ninth-grade students were divided into two groups: TATE receiving explicit pre-task instruction and TBLT receiving implicit pre-task instruction.

It is therefore imperative that teachers be well-prepared to intervene appropriately and effectively once they encounter dyslexic students. The current study investigates teachers’ knowledge about the disorder in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context. Employing a questionnaire designed by Soriano et …
The Role of L2 Motivational Self System and Grit in EFL Learners’ Willingness to Communicate
Learning a second language (L2) is analogous to a journey replete with setbacks and discouragements. Given the pivotal role of communication in L2 learning, researchers have set out to identify factors that may influence L2 learners’ willingness to communicate (L2 WTC). To this end, the present comparative study attempts to investigate the role of the L2 motivational self-system and grit in learners’ L2 WTC in two different educational settings: …

Revealing gender discourses in the Qurʾān
This study examines the Qurʾān’s view towards gender and argues that all three masculine, feminine and egalitarian (gender-inclusive) discourses exist in its text, and that these discourses do not follow a simple and linear model but rather a nonlinear and complex one. It also provides evidence, showing that gender equality in the Qurʾān is achieved in two ways: firstly, through linguistic devices that are devoid of gender distinctions, and secon…
Investigating EFL Teachers' Views on Listening Difficulties Among Their Learners
Listening has long been recognized as a challenging skill for teachers, students, and researchers working within the English as a Second Language (ESL)/English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Moreover, up until the recent past, it was the least researched of the four language skills in second language acquisition studies. One of the issues regarding the skill that has not been sufficiently investigated is EFL teachers' views on listening di…
