Despite the widely acknowledged importance of reflective practice in enhancing educational quality, there’s a notable gap in research on its real-world application and the specific challenges teachers face in Ethiopian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This study addresses a significant gap in research regarding the practical application of reflective practice among teachers in Ethiopian HEIs and the challenges they encounter. The study utili…
A diagnostic of literacy
This paper investigated the English as a foreign language reading skills performance, including phonological awareness and word reading of early-grades (2-4 grades) primary school students and the impact of pre-primary school experience on these skills. Standardized reading tests were administered to 628 randomly selected Ethiopian EFL students, assessing their ability to identify capital and small letters, and their sight-word reading proficienc…

Using integrated alternative assessment to explore essay writing skills
Many undergraduate students struggle with developing their essay writing skills (EWS). On the other hand, studies have noted that teachers tend to rely on traditional instructional dashboards including assessments in writing classrooms. However, using traditional assessment (TA) may not accurately assess students' abilities, resulting in gaps in understanding and areas for improvement. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Integrated A…
In-service language teachers' engagement with online learning platforms after the emergence of Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to the field of education, including a notable shift towards remote learning and increased usage of online learning platforms (OLPs). This study focuses on the engagements of in-service language teachers (ILTs) with OLPs during this time. ILTs from various school levels were invited to participate in an online survey to collect data. The survey included open-ended and multiple-choice questions…
Cultivating Students’ Reading Skills
Engaging with and comprehending a text is more significant than mere reading, as it allows for the exploration of profound truths beyond the literal words on the page. Early adolescents often face challenges in acquiring fundamental knowledge, and different reading strategies and levels of motivation can greatly impact their reading experience. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of Critical Reading Strategies (CRS) on studen…

Revisiting writing feedback
Previous studies have largely overlooked teacher feedback, which plays a significant role in the social construction of knowledge within educational ecosystems worldwide. While written corrective feedback has been the focus of writing feedback research, oral feedback in teacher-student L2 writing conferences has not received as much attention, especially from an ecological lens. To address this research gap, this study investigated how writing tr…
Insights into psychosocial problems and associated factors among higher education students in Ethiopia
While there has been extensive research on well-known psychosocial problems like depression, anxiety, and stress among higher education students, emerging issues such as emotional problems, antisocial behavior, trauma experiences, and academic difficulties are not as thoroughly studied, particularly in the context of Ethiopian higher education students. These updated psychosocial problems are crucial to explore due to their potentially significan…
Teacher-Students Collaboration
Despite the complex nature of writing, many students are hesitant to tackle difficult subjects. To help those facing writing difficulties and increase their motivation, this study examines the effect of teacher-student collaboration through guided-writing instruction. A two-group quasi-experimental design was used with a pre-treatment-post-tests format. The participants in this study were 50 11th-grade students (aged 17-24; 28 male and 22 female)…
Exploring the Effects of Written Corrective Feedback Types on Grammatical Accuracy in L2 Writing
Although, written corrective feedback (hereafter referred to as CF) is applauded in many writing courses for fostering students' quality writing, its impact on grammatical accuracy in L2 students' writing remains a debated topic. Thus, this study looked into the effect of CF types on L2 students' grammatical accuracy in writing. To achieve this objective, the design of this study was quasi-experiment. During the intervention of the study three gr…

The influence of K-12 language teachers' demographic profiles on authentic assessment practice
While much literature has been used to investigate authentic assessment practice in the field of education, particularly in the context of language classrooms, a study investigating the demographic profiles of teachers and their relation to authentic assessment practice in language classrooms is crucial and needs further exploration. To this end, the current study investigated the K-12 language teachers' demographic profiles in relation to their …
Language Teacher’s Experience and Preference toward Online Learning Platforms during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic compelled the educational sector to act quickly, resulting in the adoption of replacement online learning platforms (OLPs) to keep the educational system running throughout the crisis. This study explored how language teachers in Ethiopia are prepared in terms of their experience and preference toward OLPs. To achieve this goal, data were collected from 203 participants (aged 22–46, including 81 males and 122 females) using …
