The optimal implementation of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in Iranian EFL higher education faces some challenges despite its incremental growth. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate the current challenges affecting university professors' and students' adoption of CALL in Iranian EFL contexts. For this purpose, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three purposeful sampling groups of participants, both before and after the temporary shutdown of the educational sector due to COVID-19 spread. Therefore, 33 interviewees—university EFL professors, students, and Information Technology Support Engineers (IT-SE)— took part in an interview which took approximately 90 minutes for each, conducted in person or over WhatsApp and Skype platforms. All the interviews were audio recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis by the first researcher and an assistant researcher. The obtained results highlighted nine major categories of themes that indicated the obstacles and challenges of optimal CALL implementation. These challenges are related to 1) technological dimension, 2) teacher dimension 3) student dimension, 4) software and hardware dimension, 5) sanctions and filtering dimension, 6) curriculum dimension, 7) the nature of e-learning dimension, 8) socioeconomic and cultural dimension, and 9) university administrators' dimension. It was the sanctions and filtering dimension, the nature of e-learning dimension, and the socioeconomic dimension that were exclusive to this study. Each of these major themes includes a set of minor themes. The results can contribute to educational planners, curriculum and material developers, and teachers to develop education programs for optimal CALL implementation in Iranian EFL higher education by removing the challenges.

حوزههای تخصصی:
The common belief regarding the lack of interaction in online education raises some concerns about students’ psychological well-being and the satisfaction of their needs. The relations between teaching and social presences as the two major factors accounting for social-contextual conditions in online education with students' basic psychological needs satisfaction, persistence, and motivation are mostly ignored in the context of teaching English in higher education in Iraq. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the interrelationships between the perception of social and teaching presences and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, persistence, intrinsic motivation, and negative emotions of Iraqi EFL learners in online courses. To this end, 200 intermediate Iraqi university students studying English at the English departments of several institutions of higher education were recruited to participate in the study. Then they were asked to complete self-report questionnaires on their perception of social and teaching presence, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, intention to persist, intrinsic motivation, and negative emotions. The link for questionnaires was shared among the participants via email. SEM analysis showed that the students’ perceptions of social and teaching presence had a positive relationship with their satisfaction of basic psychological needs, persistence, and intrinsic motivation. The results, however, showed that there was a negative relationship between the students’ perceptions of social and teaching presences and boredom, anxiety, and shame. The results imply that providing opportunities for students to interact effectively with their instructors and peers in online classes in a socially supportive environment can lead to positive outcomes. The implications for online teaching and learning are discussed, and suggestions for further research are proposed.

حوزههای تخصصی:
زبان پشتو یکی از زبان های ایرانی است که درباره آن پژوهش های زبان شناختی اندکی صورت گرفته است. سببی سازی در زبان پشتو نیاز به توضیح بیشتر دارد، زیرا این مسئله از اهمیت زیادی برخوردار است، اما در کتاب های دستور زبان پشتو و زبان شناختی این زبان توجه لازم به این مسئله نشده است. از این رو بررسی و پژوهش سببی سازی در این زبان از اهمیت خاصی برخوردار است. هدف از این پژوهش توصیف مقوله سببی سازی زبانِ پشتو است. داده های مورد نیاز این تحقیق از آثار و گویشوران این زبان براساس پژوهشِ دبیرمقدم (1399) انجام شده است. روشِ تحقیق این نوشتار علاوه بر توصیف سببی سازی، مبتنی بر مثال های زبانِ پشتو است که آوانویسی و معنا گزاری شده است. نمونه های این متن از میان صدها جمله انتخاب شده و مورد تحلیل و تجزیه قرار گرفته است. مسئله مهم، بازنمایی ساخت سببی در زبان پشتو است که چگونه انجام می شود؟ زبان پشتو ازجمله زبان های فاعل مفعول فعل است و سببی سازی در این زبان به شکل صرفی و نحوی وجود دارد. این پژوهش بر اساس نظریه رده شناسی به تحلیل داده ها پرداخته است. سببی سازی زبان در پشتو نسبت به زبان فارسی پیچیده است؛ چون از یک اصل مشخص پیروی نمی کند. در سببی صرفی علاوه بر وند (aw) از پیش اضافه های (pӘ,pӘr) و(war bânde,pre) کار گرفته می شود. میزان زایایی سببی های کمکی در زبان پشتو بیشتر است چون با بیشتر افعال می آید و فعل را متعدی می سازد.
The Impact of the Application of Dialogic Teaching Rules on the Iranian High School ESL Learners’ Speaking Ability(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Developing ESL learners’ speaking skills who study in Iranian senior high schools poses significant challenges due to the domination of traditional grammar-focused methods. This study investigates the effect of dialogic teaching rules, based on Alexander’s (2017) model, on the speaking skills of Iranian high school ESL learners. In a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, 43 Iranian twelfth-grade students were assigned to an experimental group (n=22) taught with dialogic rules and a control group (n=21) taught conventionally using Vision 2 and Vision 3 materials. Speaking fluency, accuracy, cohesion/coherence, and interactive skills were assessed (scored out of 25). Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant improvement in the experimental group's speaking performance as a whole (F (1, 41) = 14.50, p <.001) compared to the control group, with significant improvements in fluency and interactive skills. According to Vygotsky's (1978) Sociocultural Theory, Communicative Language Teaching, Constructivism, and Bakhtin's Dialogism, these findings demonstrate that dialogic teaching enhances communicative competence. These results suggest that implementing dialogic teaching strategies can transform ESL classrooms by improving dynamic, learner-centered contexts in which oral interaction is prioritized.

حوزههای تخصصی:
Dialogue journal writing is extensively regarded as an effective technique for enhancing the writing motivation of EFL/ESL students. However, studies on how dialogue journal writing enhances EFL students’ writing motivation are scarce in the Ethiopian context. This study investigates the impact of dialogue journal writing on freshman EFL students’ writing motivation. Employing a quasi-experimental design, two intact groups were selected from students in the social science stream. After checking their comparability at the onset of the intervention, the two groups were randomly assigned into experimental (n = 37) and comparison groups (n = 35) using coin flipping. Following this, the experimental group was instructed writing for 10 weeks based on the dialogue journal writing approach and the comparison group for the same period, but following the conventional approach. Data were collected before and after the intervention through a writing motivation questionnaire from both groups. The collected data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test, a paired sample t-test, and one-way MANOVA. The result of the study revealed that dialogue journal writing significantly enhanced the experimental group students' overall writing motivation (p<0.05), with a large effect size (d = 1.46), and its sub-components (enjoyment, self-efficacy, instrumentality, recognition, and effort), (p<0.05), with a moderate effect size (η²p = 0.371) when these sub-components were considered combined. The finding suggests that dialogue journal writing can effectively enhance EFL students’ writing motivation. Therefore, university EFL teachers are recommended to use dialogue journal writing in their writing classes to improve their students’ writing motivation.
Exploring the Components of Online Classroom Observation: insights from document analysis and EFL teacher observers’ perspectives(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
To identify the effectiveness of online observation for teaching, this study explored teachers’ conceptions of online classroom observation, focusing on the key components, instructional design considerations, and delivery strategies in virtual teaching environments. More particularly, in this multi-method qualitative research design study, the researchers did document analysis of a number of available classroom observation sheets to derive some themes and sub-themes regarding the components of online classroom observation. Subsequently, based on the derived themes, semi-structured interview items were composed. Through purposive sampling, eight Iranian experienced online classroom observers were selected to be interviewed. Using MAXQDA to do content and thematic analysis, the researchers found the eight components of instructional design and delivery, technology integration, student engagement and interaction, professional development and support, feedback provision, assessment of students’ learning and achievement, inclusive practices, and instructor presence and support in the data. Moreover, it was found that the integration of technology was highlighted to optimize observation experiences, student engagement, and instructional support. These findings have implications for professional development programs, re-evaluation of assessment practices, instructor presence, and technology integration in online learning contexts, all of which are crucial for equipping EFL instructors with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective online teaching.

حوزههای تخصصی:
درک معنای تلویحی یکی از چالش های مهم در زبان آموزی است و عوامل مختلفی نظیر تفاوت های فردی و به طور خاص سبک های یادگیری می توانند بر آن تأثیرگذار باشند. بااین حال، مطالعات کمی به بررسی رابطه سبک های شناختی و توانش منظورشناختی فارسی آموزان پرداخته اند. پژوهش پیش رو، با هدف بررسی تأثیر سبک های یادگیری تأملی و تکانشی بر درک معنای تلویحی فارسی آموزان انجام شده است. بدین منظور، 58 فارسی آموز سطح میانی (۱۸ تا 45 سال و 7/51 درصد زن، 3//48 درصد مرد) از مراکز مختلف آزفا، به روش نمونه گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. داده های این پژوهش ابتدا، از طریق آزمون شنیداری درک معنای تلویحی محقق ساخته و اعتبارسنجی شده است و سپس از طریق نسخه فارسی و اعتبارسنجی شده پرسشنامه تکانشگری بارت (۱۹۹۵) گردآوری شد. نتایج تحلیل داده ها از طریق آزمون تی و تحلیل واریانس در نرم افزار جامووی (نسخه 2.6.2) نشان داد بین دو گروه دارای سبک یادگیری تأملی و تکانشی از منظر درک معنای تلویحی تفاوت آماری معناداری وجود ندارد. همچنین، متغیر جنسیت و تعامل آن با متغیر سبک یادگیری تأثیر معناداری بر عملکرد فارسی آموزان نداشت. یافته های این پژوهش نشان داد سبک های یادگیری تأملی و تکانشی، برخلاف انتظار، نقش تعیین کننده ای در درک معنای تلویحی فارسی آموزان ایفا نمی کنند. این نتایج می تواند در طراحی ابزارهای سنجش درک منظورشناختی و تدوین برنامه های آموزشی متناسب با نیازهای زبان آموزان و متمرکز بر ابعاد منظورشناختی مفید واقع شود.
Address Culture of Iranian EFL Students and Lecturers in Oral and Written Communication: A Semio-cultural Conceptualization Perspective(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Compared to non-academic contexts, the use of address forms in academic settings is insufficiently researched. To fill this gap, the present study investigated the address forms commonly used by students and lecturers in Iranian universities in their oral and written communication. The analytical framework of this study is semio-cultural conceptualization. A qualitative descriptive research design was adopted, which included six open-ended questions. Thirty Iranian EFL lecturers participated in this study, 20 males and 10 females, representing 14 different universities. The average age of the participants was 50. The thematic analysis of the data revealed that in addition to the conventional polite forms, some innovations have emerged in the academic address practice in Iran. While students always addressed their lecturers using respectful forms and honorifics, the lecturers’ address choices varied according to sociolinguistic factors such as the students’ age, gender, degree of intimacy and distance, and educational status. In the majority of cases, the lecturers employed title plus last name; nevertheless, some of them opted for more intimate forms. However, such forms were never reciprocated by students owing to the perceived power dynamics and elevated respect for teachers, which is deeply entrenched in the culturally-constructed conceptualization of the unique teacher-student relationship in Iran. The findings also suggest that the scope of address studies can be expanded to include semio-cultural conceptualizations, such as emotion schema, and symbolism.
A Comparative Study of ZPD-Based Teacher and Peer Feedback in Comprehending Reading and Reading Strategies(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Sociocultural Theory (SCT) of second language learning puts the emphasis on social interaction and regards it as a pre-requisite for cognitive development (Vygotsky, 1978). Drawing on the SCT, the present study aimed to delve into the possible effect of ZPD-based teacher and peer feedback on reading comprehension and reading strategy use of EFL learners. In so doing, 75 Iranian EFL learners, who were randomly assigned into two experimental and one comparison groups, participated in a quasi-experimental study. The data were collected through Oxford Placement Test (OPT), reading comprehension test and reading strategy questionnaire. One of the experimental groups received teacher feedback based on Aljaafreh and Lantolf's (1994) regulatory scale while the other experimental group accomplished the reading task using the feedback provided by the peers. Results obtained from the one–way ANOVA and Tukey test demonstrated that both experimental groups, teacher and peer, gained significantly more and performed better than the comparison group in reading comprehension while there was no significant difference between teacher and peer feedback groups in reading comprehension. The findings of the strategy questionnaire indicated no statistically significant difference between experimental and control groups, leading to the conclusion that students’ grouping did not influence their use of reading strategy. Therefore, it is concluded that peer feedback can be as effective as teacher feedback, aiding teachers to have a learner–centered classroom by implementing peer feedback rather than teacher feedback.
The Effect of Genre-based Learning on Teaching Academic Email Writing(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Although email correspondence is a common means of communication between scholars from different cultures, little attention is paid to writing academic emails in tertiary education. The present investigation is aimed at studying the influence of genre education on the formation of academic writing skills and understanding the principles of academic correspondence. The main methods used in the study were experiment and survey. The research was carried out on the basis of National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. The participants of the study were postgraduate (PhD) students (n = 100) with a major in Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, and other technical areas. The results of the study show that the students made considerable progress in their academic email writing skills even after a short period of explicit instruction applying the genre-based approach. Most of the students changed their way of thinking about writing emails for academic purposes in English and became aware of the norms of formal writing. Moreover, the results of the experiment and survey justify the necessity of including academic email writing in the curriculum of teaching Academic English and demonstrate strong potential of genre-based learning in other genres involving academic writing.

حوزههای تخصصی:
Political apologies serve as high-stakes communicative acts, addressing collective wrongdoing while seeking to repair damaged relationships between governments and affected groups. This study explored the evolution of political apologies in the 21st century, analyzing their role as public speech acts that respond to shifting societal and political norms. Despite their increasing prevalence in global politics, limited research has examined how these apologies have adapted linguistically and structurally over time to meet evolving public expectations. This research bridged this gap by employing a diachronic pragmatic approach. A corpus of 222 state-level political apologies, spanning two decades, was analyzed using the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) framework, augmented with emerging pragmatic elements. Categorized into five sociopolitical periods, these apologies were coded and analyzed with Atlas.ti to identify shifts in their structural and linguistic components. The findings revealed a consistent use of Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices (IFIDs), alongside a growing emphasis on Explanation or Account and META (Reaffirmation). Novel elements, such as Commemorative Apologies and Forward-Looking Statements, demonstrated how political apologies are increasingly tailored to address systemic injustices and public demands for accountability and reconciliation. Theoretically, the study could enrich pragmatic frameworks by identifying new components of political apologies. Practically, it offers insights for crafting effective apologies that resonate with diverse audiences. This research underscored the adaptability of political apologies, positioning them as tools for fostering societal healing and advancing justice in a rapidly changing world.

This study explores teachers’ readiness to implement generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in their teaching and learning processes, alongside the benefits and challenges related to its utilizations in the Omani context. The data analysis process involved analyzing responses from the 5-point Likert scale questionnaire using descriptive statistics. A sample of 61 teachers with different qualifications from different educational institutions in the Sultanate of Oman participated in the study. The findings revealed that teachers had a positive level of readiness to implement GenAI, highlighting a spectrum of readiness levels, such as attending training sessions about GenAI, and a significant willingness of utilizing GenAI tools in their classes. On the other hand, teachers reported a positive benefit and experience in improving their teaching, stating that GenAI enables them to save their time, improves their teaching experience and job satisfaction, and offers them adaptive learning and instant feedback. However, findings revealed number of challenges for teachers such as a lack of awareness about policies and ethics in implementing GenAI tools, and their cost. Moreover, teachers indicated a moderate concern regarding the challenges of integrating GenAI tools into their teaching practices. Based on the findings, the study provides significant insight for teachers, policymakers, and syllabi designers, stressing the significant importance of preparing teachers to efficiently integrate GenAI in their pedagogical duties to make the most educational potential while mitigating related risks.

Exploring Assessment Practices of Iraqi EFL Teachers: Beliefs, Practices, and Alignment(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
This article delved into the realm of EFL assessment in Iraq by investigating the beliefs of Iraqi EFL teachers about assessment practices they employed in their classroom and determining whether there was any congruency between their beliefs and actual assessment practices. For this purpose, 140 experienced Iraqi EFL teachers were selected by convenience sampling and the data were collected by the Teachers’ Assessment Practices Belief Questionnaire and the Teachers’ Assessment Practices Questionnaire. The findings of Pearson correlation and descriptive analysis revealed that the cognitive level of assessments (e.g., reasoning and application), types of assessments (e.g., portfolios and concept mapping), and evaluation criteria (e.g., improvement and student effort) were highly valued by the teachers. Regarding assessment practices in the classroom, the participants reported obtaining, elucidating, and responding to learning evidence and assisting students to acquire a positive orientation of learning (making learning explicit). Promoting learning autonomy (an expanded opportunity to assume increased autonomy in defining their learning goals and evaluating both their work and that of their peers) was also found in the teachers’ reports. Besides, an interest in assisting students adhere to performance goals stipulated by the curriculum using careful questioning and assessed by scores and grades (performance orientation). Implications and suggestions of the study are discussed in the article.

حوزههای تخصصی:
Coalescing digital technologies into education has foregrounded gamified formative assessment (GFA) as a promising modality for advancing second language acquisition (SLA). The current study explored the effects of GFA on the writing proficiency of Iranian EFL learners, focusing on complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). Employing a quasi-experimental design, intermediate and advanced learners were assigned to either gamified or traditional paper-based formative assessment conditions. Writing CAF performance was evaluated by estimating the mean of macro-constructs of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Writing performance was analyzed using established CAF measures for complexity, accuracy, and fluency, based on widely recognized frameworks. To assess group and proficiency-level effects, key statistical tests, i.e., Friedman, mixed-design ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U , were applied. The findings disclosed that GFA enhances writing proficiency, with the most substantial gains observed in complexity and fluency. Accuracy improvements, though evident, were more modest and varied by proficiency level: advanced learners improved more in complexity and fluency, whereas intermediate learners showed greater gains in accuracy. These results accentuate GFA’s pedagogical efficacy in fostering engagement, reducing cognitive load, and promoting self-regulated learning in writing instruction, offering crucial insights for language educators, curriculum designers, and digital assessment developers who aim to incorporate innovative, learner-centered assessment strategies.

این مطالعه فرایندهای شناختی زیربنای درک عبارات اصطلاحی زبان دوم را با استفاده از دو تکنیک آموزشی بصری مختلف نمایش تصویری معانی تحت اللفظی در مقابل نمایش تصویری معانی مجازی هر عبارت اصطلاحی بررسی می کند. برای این امر دو محیط (موقعیت) (PFL در مقابل PSL)، دو نوع اصطلاحات مختلف (غیرشفاف (کدر) در مقابل شفاف) و دو سطح بسندگی متفاوت (متوسط در مقابل پیشرفته) در نظر گرفته می شود. این کار شامل شیوه های آموزشی رایج بود که از نظریه کدگذاری دوگانه به عنوان دو تکنیک بصری متفاوت با پشتیبانی کلامی برای آموزش انواع مختلف اصطلاحات استفاده می کند. 67 زبان آموز به عنوان زبان دوم و 63 زبان آموز به عنوان زبان خارجی در این مطالعه شرکت کردند. قبل و بعد از آموزش از آزمون درک اصطلاح استفاده شد. نتایج تحلیل واریانس اندازه مکرر براساس مقایسه های پیش آزمون و پس آزمون نشان داد که درک اصطلاحات زبان دوم با توجه به محیط یادگیری، تکنیک آموزشی و نوع اصطلاح متفاوت است. با وجود این، به نظر نمی رسد که سطح بسندگی تأثیری بر نتایج درک برای هیچ گروهی داشته باشد. نتایج آشکار می سازد که در محیط زبان دوم تکنیک مجاز موفق تر از تکنیک تحت اللفظی بوده است. در حالی که در محیط زبان خارجی به کارگیری تکنیک تحت اللفظی در مقایسه با تکنیک مجاز، نمرات بهتری برای زبان آموز به دست آورد. زبان آموزان PSL در یادگیری اصطلاحات با معانی غیرشفاف (کدر) بهتر از زبان آموزان PFL بودند در حالی که زبان آموزان PFL در یادگیری اصطلاحات با معانی شفاف عملکرد بهتری داشتند. نتایج این مطالعه از مدل بازنمایی اصطلاح دوگانه حمایت می کند که بیان می کند زبان آموزان PSL مدخل های اصطلاحات موجود خود را فعال می کنند و آن ها را به صورت مجازی درک می کنند در حالی که زبان آموزان PFL باید اصطلاحات را تجزیه کنند.
Combined Effects of Task Sequencing and Corrective Feedback on EFL Learners’ Writing: a comparison between human raters and ChatGPT(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
The study, which has been derived from a larger project, examined how effective ChatGPT, compared to human raters, is for scoring writing tasks when tasks were arranged from simple to complex or vice versa. In so doing, a correlational design was employed. The participants were 113 EFL learners. Two sets of writing tasks were customized based on the SSARC (simplify, stabilize, automatize, reconstruct, complexify) model. The participants were divided into two groups. They took a pre-test and did tasks in two different orders. The tasks were rectified by the researcher and returned to them later. The participants enhanced their text based on comments on tasks. After that, they took a posttest. Human raters and ChatGPT scored the pretests and posttests. A Pearson Correlation test was run to obtain the correlation between a human rater and ChatGPT. The results indicated a strong positive correlation between scores assessed by human raters and those by ChatGPT when tasks were arranged from simple to complex (r = 968, p > 05) or complex to simple (r = 860, p > 05). These findings suggest that ChatGPT can be an effective tool for writing assessments. Suggestions for further research are discussed.
