Документ Відкритий доступ Addressing challenges in language teaching in india: exploring the role of corrective feedback in enhancing learning(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Kumar, Amrendra; Halim, Huzaina Binti AbdulCorrective feedback is a crucial aspect of language teaching, which aims to help students improve language accuracy and fluency. While research on corrective feedback has been conducted worldwide, there is a dearth of empirical studies in the Indian context. Despite this gap, several studies suggest that corrective feedback practices in India are based mainly on traditional grammar-translation methods prioritizing accuracy over fluency rather than considering students' needs and learning styles. Issues related to corrective feedback in India include cultural factors, optimal timing, teacher beliefs, technology-mediated feedback, and student motivation. Cultural factors such as societal expectations and values can influence teachers' and learners’ attitudes toward corrective feedback. The optimal timing of providing corrective feedback in ESL writing is also an issue, as the effectiveness of immediate versus delayed feedback on language accuracy and fluency is still unclear. Moreover, teachers' views on corrective feedback may influence their practices and need further exploration in the Indian context. The potential of technology-mediated corrective feedback and its effects on student motivation and self-efficacy also require further research (Doley, 2023). Overall, this review highlights the need for more empirical research on corrective feedback practices in India to inform effective teaching practices and enhance the effectiveness of ELT in the country. Future studies should focus on examining cultural factors that influence corrective feedback practices, identifying optimal timing for feedback, examining teachers' views and practices, examining technology-mediated feedback, and examining the effects of corrective feedback on student motivation and self-efficacy.Документ Відкритий доступ CA-CLIL: teachers' and students' perceptions of implementing clil in tertiary education(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Štefková, Jaroslava; Danihelová, ZuzanaThese days, languages at non-philological universities are becoming an important tool of internationalization. However, language classes seem to be an additional subject to the obligatory technical subjects, and they are not given enough space in the technical study portfolios. Therefore, CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), which focuses on technical content, can be applied to expand students' language exposure. CLIL activities might be carried out by content teachers and language teachers. The content teachers not achieving B2 level in English need some support introducing the foreign language into the instruction. The use of English during classes can be encouraged by Internet applications where the language input from the content teachers is limited, however, the application-based teaching activities still achieve the task of the target language learning. The paper deals with the perceptions of Internet applications tailored to teachers' needs, providing students with content and language practice. It discusses the role and use of CA-CLIL (Computer Assisted-CLIL) applied intensively after the COVID-19 pandemic. Internet applications used in the class include Learningapps, Kahoot, Mentimeter, and Youtube. The views are supported by action research based on the questionnaire survey of the 65-student sample and interviews with content teachers. The interviews with content teachers suggest that regardless of their foreign language mastery, they can manage to use English via applications. In addition, the students also praise such an instruction method. The results show that the CA-CLIL is perceived well and brings additional benefits such as perceptions of fun and competitiveness to university education.Документ Відкритий доступ Towards enhancing creativity and innovation in education system for youth in hail region(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Alshammari, Ali Essa A.; Thomran, MuradThe developments of countries are always based on the efforts of their creative people, as the spread of an organizational culture that stimulates creativity and innovation and sponsors its owners. Therefore this study aimed to explore the creativity and innovation involvement in educational curriculum and to assess the challenges and opportunities in educational system among youth in Hail Region. To achieve these objectives, explanatory and descriptive research designs were employed with quantitative research approach. The questionnaire was the instrumental tool for collecting data with simple random sampling technique. 341 valid responses have been analyzed by using SPSS software. The study's findings revealed that students perceive themselves as engaging in creative thinking activities and receiving creativity and innovation training at the university. The respondents strongly agree that incorporating technology tools and techniques into education enhances creativity and innovation, and there are other factors that also contribute to these opportunities. Resistance to change and limited access to information were identified as significant challenges to developing creativity and innovation skills among the respondents. The study found a moderate, positive correlation between involvement in creativity and innovation and the educational curriculum. Based on these results, it is recommended that the university continue prioritizing creative thinking activities and innovation training for students while addressing challenges related to resistance to change and access to information. Further integration of creativity and innovation concepts into the curriculum may also be beneficial, along with continued use of technology tools and techniques to enhance these skills in education.Документ Відкритий доступ Incorporating educational smartphone apps for teaching ukrainian as a foreign language to medical students(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Zhovnir, Maryna; Shevchenko, Olena; Leshchenko, TetyanaThis article explores the implementation of mobile applications in the training of future doctors studying the Ukrainian language. The authors conducted a descriptive survey to explore the types of language learning apps commonly used by foreign students studying Ukrainian at the Poltava State Medical University. Furthermore, the effectiveness of these applications for the development of language skills was identified and analyzed. The authors have demonstrated that most smartphone and tablet apps can be effectively used for learning new vocabulary, grammar, spelling rules, and developing writing and speaking skills in Ukrainian for foreign students. The descriptive survey indicated that students generally hold a positive attitude towards the use of apps for language learning. Among the students surveyed, grammar and vocabulary apps were found to be the most popular, while speaking and writing apps were less favored. The authors have also identified the advantages and disadvantages of using language learning apps. The article provides a careful analysis of the essence, principles, strengths, and weaknesses of mobile applications, as well as their pedagogical significance in the context of studying the Ukrainian language at medical universities. It emphasizes that educational mobile applications used by teachers of Ukrainian as a foreign language create an environment that facilitates information retention, promotes interaction between students, and develops their language skills. Mobile applications allow students to personalize their learning by choosing the content and pace, making them convenient for self-directed and distance learning. The data and results obtained from this study can be used to improve educational materials through mobile applications for learning Ukrainian as a foreign language. The findings contribute to research on mobile-assisted language learning and the design of educational apps by shedding light on students' preferences for acquiring different language skills.Документ Відкритий доступ Teaching and learning slovak professional terminology(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Gluchmanová, MartaThe purpose of the paper is to point out the possibilities of teaching and learning Slovak as a foreign language. The course Slovak as a foreign language allowed foreign students to overcome problems while studying professional subjects in manufacturing technologies. The goal was the creation of suitable professional study material tailored for technical specialization students. Slovak language teachers used mixed methods and forms of study (face-to-face and online). They tried to improve the Slovak language communication skills of manufacturing technologies students. The results of e-exercises and the final e-test of 120 foreign students in the 1st year of bachelor's studies in the summer semester of 2022 were compared. Later the strengths and weaknesses of students were found. The level of professional Slovak terminology was improved by eliminating the most common mistakes. The Moodle platform was used for learning and teaching Slovak as a foreign language as well as Slovak professional terminology.Документ Відкритий доступ Exploring the development of students’ knowledge of conventionalised similes in english lexicology and phraseology: a comparative study(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Hrdličková, ZuzanaIdioms are a colourful and fascinating aspect of English which are commonly used in all types of language, formal and informal, spoken and written. Despite the emerging theoretical accounts of idioms up to now, little attention has been paid to teaching and learning idiomatic expressions in English as a Foreign Language, English for Specific Purposes or English for Academic Purposes classroom. Developing idiomatic competence among English language learners in Slovakia remains a formidable challenge. Second-year undergraduates of the study programmes «Teacher Training of English Language and Literature» (single major study) and «Teacher Training of English Language and Literature (double major study) need to master different types of idioms within one-term course in ‘English Lexicology and Phraseology». Their language skills will increase rapidly if they can understand and use them confidently and correctly. The communication role of idiomatic comparisons is often neglected, as well. The aim of the paper is to find out their level of knowledge of standard idiomatic comparisons at the beginning and the end of the course. The paper intends to reveal how students of different nationalities – Slovak, Hungarian, Russian and Ukrainian – are able to explain the meaning of similes used in example sentences in English or their mother tongue. Altogether 51 students are tested twice via tests focused on similes, and their results are compared via a statistical t-Test. The results from the initial test show that their knowledge of idiomatic comparisons was not very wide. However, the results from the final test prove that they were motivated to learn idioms, and thus they extended their knowledge of idiomatic comparisons significantly. In addition, the paper suggests some implications for teaching and learning similes and phraseological units in general.Документ Відкритий доступ How ukrainian university students academically procrastinate in conditions of forced-online-learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and wartime(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Cherepiekhina, Olha; Turubarova, Anastasiia; Sysoiev, Oleksii; Derevyanko, Nataliya; Bulanov, ValeriiThis study aims to investigate the features of academic procrastination among higher education students in the context of forced online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and wartime in Ukraine. Methods. A total of 789 higher education students enrolled in Ukrainian institutions participated in the study, responding to six questionnaires. The research focused on examining the correlation between academic procrastination indicators, self-organization, and the preferred forms of learning during the period of forced online learning. The results indicate that forced online learning has a positive impact on the manifestation of academic procrastination among students and does not promote their self-organization. Significantly higher levels of academic procrastination were observed in students who solely studied online compared to those in the mixed format, involving both online and face-to-face learning. Conversely, students in the mixed format exhibited less pronounced indicators of academic procrastination and higher levels of self-organization and conscientiousness. Moreover, the study identified a new type of academic procrastination labeled as "active academic procrastination." Unlike its negative connotation, this type is perceived as a part of the process of forced online learning. In conclusion, the research expands the theoretical understanding of academic procrastination among students and sheds light on its manifestation during forced online learning. The findings emphasize the importance of considering the learning format's influence on students' procrastination tendencies and offer insights into fostering better self-organization and motivation in the context of online education during challenging circumstances.Документ Відкритий доступ The effect of preservice teachers' information and communication technologies competencies on academic self-efficacy and academic achievement(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Bahar, Hüseyin Hüsnü; Öz, Recep; Kayalar, Murat TolgaThe purpose of this study was to measure the ICT competency levels and academic self-efficacy perception levels of preservice teachers and to determine if those levels were a significant predictor of their academic self-efficacy. For this purpose, the data were obtained from 411 volunteer students studying in the second, third, and fourth grades of the Teacher Training Undergraduate Programs at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Education Faculty. In total, 133 male and 278 female students participated in the study. As data collection tools, the Personal Information Form, the Information and Communication Technology Competencies Scale for Pre-service Teachers (ICTC-PT) developed by Tondeur et al. (2017) and adapted to Turkish language and culture by Alkan and Sarıkaya (2018) as well as the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) developed by Kandemir (2010) were used. The Personal Information Form included information regarding department, grade, gender, and GPA. The reliability analyses of the scales were carried out, as well as multiple and stepwise regression analyses and descriptive statistics to address the research questions. As a result, it was determined that pre-service teachers' perception of ICT self-efficacy was at a high level. A moderate level of perception was observed in the sub-dimensions of ASE-CAP, ASE-AE, and ASE-APL among the participants. ICT-ID was found to be a significant predictor of ASE-CAP, but not of CSP-ICT. Although CSP-ICT was more closely related to general competencies, ICT-ID appeared to be more closely related to the skills required by the teaching profession. Based on the results of the study, the ASE-CAP, ASE-APL, and ICT sub-dimension scores were not significant predictors of GPA, whereas the ASE-AE score was a significant and positive predictor of GPA. It could be concluded from these findings that experiences and activities aimed at improving students' self-efficacy perceptions contributed positively to academic achievement in teacher training programs.Документ Відкритий доступ Business simulation games in developing pre-service restaurant managers’ speech interaction competence using GPTChat(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Nikolaeva, Sofiya; Chernysh, Valentyna; Boiko, Hanna; Galynska, OlenaThe study aims to develop speech interaction skills in language learning of pre-service restaurant managers with focus on professional skills – decision-making in conflict and non-conflict communication situations using business simulation games; to explore the effectiveness of GPTChat as a tool for the development of students’ speech interaction competence in the context of business simulation games. A mixed research design was employed which involved 44 pre-service restaurant managers of the National University of Food technologies (Kyiv, Ukraine) in 2023. The quantitative research method was used to assess the students’ level of speech interaction competence using the Fisher Criterion. The qualitative research method was used for analyzing and interpreting data of the experimental learning. The results showed that the pre-service restaurant managers who were consulted by teachers, used GPTChat and business simulation games for developing their speech interaction and decision-making skills had higher results than those who only used GPTChat. It has been found that business simulation games allow pre-service restaurant managers to better understand the nature of conflict and non-conflict situations in their professional field, develop speech interaction competence, practice in decision-making in simulation environment. GPTChat can be used as a tool for creating various professional situations, analysing the algorithms of decision-making in conflict and non-conflict situations.Документ Відкритий доступ Teaching and learning english at higher educational institutions in Ukraine through pandemics and wartime(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Westerlund, Ruslana; Chugai, Oksana; Petrenko, Serhii; Zuyenok, IrynaThe study aimed to analyse online English teaching and learning experience in higher education institutions in Ukraine through pandemics and wartime. To answer our research questions, we employed a mixed-method research design, which considered social, methodological and emotional aspects of education. We conducted quantitative research to collect data on the experience of Ukrainian university teachers of English (N=100) and students (N=277) related to the emergency caused by pandemics and wartime. The qualitative data sources included online interviews and written comments of the participants. The main findings were as follows: teachers experienced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic such as lack of interaction with students, and unawareness of effective teaching methods in the digital environment. The wartime challenges included: air raids and power outages and, consequently, disrupted communication and isolation, stress and sense of insecurity, excessive workload, with students experiencing technical issues, air raids and communication problems as well as large amount of homework, no access to the software, inconvenient schedule, and their own unwillingness. To solve the problems, teachers introduced an online synchronous mode during the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by blended and asynchronous modes which was a transformational period to teaching and learning English during wartime. The most common among the learning platforms and applications were Zoom and Google Classroom, as well as Moodle, MS Teams, YouTube, and Classtime, listed by both university teachers and students. Social networks such as Telegram, Viber, Facebook etc. were widely used too. To conclude, the COVID-19 pandemic caused Ukrainian teachers and students master new tools to use at online lessons of English, during wartime the demand on already familiar tools, as well as the range of them, increased as they provided more interaction. Considering emotional aspects, the study revealed disturbing data on teachers’ well-being: nearly 50% confessed that they were burned out and emotionally devastated, close to 40% were tired and pushed themselves to continue teaching. Despite these challenges, the majority were able to find solutions in conflict situations with students and colleagues, two-thirds were sure that their work was even more important during the wartime and they found ways to provide emotional support to their students needed in the times of war.Документ Відкритий доступ On occasion of the 300th anniversary: Hryhorii Skovoroda`S pedagogical ideas as a precursor of differentiated teaching(Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, 2023) Baklazhenko, Yuliia; Kornieva, Zoia; Borbenchuk, IrynaOn 3rd December 2022, we celebrated the 300th anniversary of the birth of Hryhoriy Skovoroda – one of the greatest Baroque thinkers, poets, educators and writers of the XVIII century. His influence on the development of Ukrainian and worldwide pedagogy is difficult to overestimate, however, today we would like to stress the importance and relevance of his ideas by analysing them through the prism of a modern approach to education – differentiated teaching and learning. H. Skovoroda`s studying at Kyiv Mohyla Academy, where he had a chance to meet famous and prospective philosophers, thinkers, and activists of the time, and his experience of teaching and lecturing at famous Ukrainian educational centers shaped his views on teaching methods. Combined with his philosophic views these ideas prove to be relevant in the modern conditions. The article analyses the main principles of differentiated learning – principles of taking into account the individual characteristics of students, accessibility, systematicity, consistency, autonomy, and consciousness through their connection to Skovoroda`s ideas. The analysis showed that H. Skovoroda formulated some of the fundamental principles of personality-oriented learning, which were precursors for developing ideas of differentiated learning.
