Enhancing the reading comprehension and autonomy of foreign language students using generative AI-integrated assistant
Generative AI tools are increasingly present in foreign language classrooms, yet empirical research on their structured use for reading comprehension, particularly at the B1 CEFR level, and their relationship to learner autonomy remains limited. Most existing studies focus on writing or unregulated AI use, leaving a gap in understanding how generative AI can be pedagogically integrated into core reading instruction. Addressing this gap, this stud…
Efficacy of micro-credential learning environments for developing students’ 21st century skills
Purpose This study investigates the effectiveness of micro-credential learning environments in fostering students’ 21st-century skills, specifically emphasizing artificial intelligence (AI) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach The study utilized a mixed-methods research methodology, which involved analyzing 21st century skill improvements quantitatively and gathering qualitative insights from student experiences. …
Efficacy of action competence training as a professional development strategy for equipping teachers with ESD readiness
Purpose Discussions on sustainability in higher education have primarily focused on theoretical and actionable contributions. Meanwhile, there are ongoing discussions that higher education typically focuses on knowledge-based strategies in its classrooms, neglecting the development of students’ action competence. Hinging on these, there are calls to transfer the skills required to actualize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to teachers in …
Incorporating service-learning projects in teaching sustainability
Purpose Given the need to promote sustainability education in higher education and integrate innovative pedagogical approaches to teach sustainability through a participatory approach, the purpose of this study is to analyze the viewpoints of students, faculty and local community members concerning participatory methods that advance climate action in higher education. Design/methodology/approach This research used a mixed-methods approach involvi…
Integrating mobile learning and problem-based learning in improving students action competence in problem-solving and critical thinking skills
This study investigates the integration of mobile learning and problem-based learning (PBL) to enhance students’ action competence in problem-solving and critical thinking skills required for actualizing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) mandates. The study employed a mixed-methods approach. The study combined quantitative assessments and qualitative feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of this integrated learning model. The participants were …
The role of group mentorship in supporting teachers across different developmental stages
Investigating neoliberalization in gender-sensitive academic workplaces
Purpose This study aims to explore the neoliberalization of higher education and its impact on gender-sensitive workplaces for international academic staff. Using a qualitative multiple-case study approach, the research examines how neoliberal policies intersect with gender-sensitive practices within academic institutions, characterized by marketization, privatization and commodification. The theoretical framework integrates Foucault’s concept of…
Implementing action competence teaching model as a framework for achieving sustainable development goals
Purpose This paper aims to explore the potential of implementing an action competence teaching model as a framework for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) in higher education. The paper seeks to draw insights from the students on the potential of this teaching model. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a quantitative research design in exploring the potential of an action competence teaching model. This study used self-repor…
Integrating technology and Cape framework towards improving the language skills of learners
Applying modified Tate framework in equipping learners with action competence on future skills
To prepare students for contributing to societal development and growth, 21st century or future skills like critical thinking and problem solving were identified to be essential. However, it seems that while discussing skill development, knowledge of the skill, willingness to act with the skills, and self-belief are often neglected. In addition, inadequacies of teaching practices applied in skill development and acquisition lead to the unprepared…
Improving Communicative Competence Levels of Pre-Service Teachers Through Spoken-Based Reflection Instruction
This study investigated the use of spoken-reflection instruction to improve the communicative competence level of English as Foreign Language learners in a second language acquisition classroom. A listening and speaking test was administered before and after the study to determine the participants’ level of speaking competence. A quantitative research design was adopted for the study. A 3-credit unit language course was designed and implemented f…
