Through online teaching and scaffolding clinics for novice writers, this narrative qualitative study aimed to assist students and novice writers in improving their scientific paper writing skills. For data collection, this study utilized open-ended interviews, observations, field notes, and online discussions to gather data. The study's findings reveal five distinct roles that teachers can assume during teaching: diagnosticians, instructors, teachers or models, proofreaders, and reviewers. In this instance, novices perceive scaffolding to play two roles: improving cognitive and interactive writing tools. However, future studies should pay more attention to the scaffolding effects of strategy, technique, and students' levels of thought, taking into account background characteristics such as ability, sex, race, ethnicity, and learning style preference, as well as their status within the groups. This study suggests that the government should provide excellent research-based outcomes rather than a final report based only on notes because creating a scientific paper involves perseverance and cannot be accomplished in one night's effort.

To accomplish this, the study used a narrative literature review and ATLAS.ti 9 to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that teachers believed that Artificial Intelligence in Language Learning and Teaching (AILLT) included assessing student needs, developing appropriate learning resources, promoting collaboration among resources, providing real-time assessment tools to improve the educational process, and increasing teaching efficiency and effectiveness. Second, AI tools for writing tools, including Paperpal, Quillbot, Jenni AI, ChatGPT, Elicit, as well as in applications to improve speaking skills, such as Speeko and Vocaroo, and "Siri and Say It" for listening and pronunciation skills. Third, factors that may influence students' use of AI-based language learning tools include adaptability, engagement, motivation, autonomy, immediate or direct feedback, accessibility and inclusivity, and teacher and parent support. This research found that AI enhances accessibility, adaptability, personalization, and immediate feedback, but it also has limitations, such as dependence on technology, inadequate human interaction, limited contextual understanding, and algorithmic biases. In addition, AILLT faces potential threats such as quality control, privacy concerns, and job or task displacement. Narrative literature studies provide theoretical insights, and it is expected that future studies at different levels of language learning will incorporate empirical evidence from experimental and case study-based research.

This study used a narrative case study design and a qualitative approach. In doing so, teachers employed eight RBCs' strategies: raising collaboration awareness, forming groups based on 21st-century skills, using controlled-chosen topics and theme-based prior knowledge, employing snowball questioning techniques, engaging in role-play in different contexts, conducting peer evaluations, and providing oral and written feedback. This study found that technology integration, such as WhatsApp, Zoom Meeting, Google Classroom, and electronic mail, enhanced the learning experience, whereas pooling WhatsApp messages was used to direct the chosen discussion topics. The results demonstrated that RBC significantly improved students' speaking performance across four instructional dimensions: collaborative awareness, active learning, classroom interaction, and technological integration. Future research should aim to enhance spoken communication by integrating technology in assessments and fostering collaborative learning environments.

To achieve successful OTL, teachers should have sufficient hardware,technical skills, and access to the internet. Although many studies have focused onOTL, none has examined teachers’ readiness for student outcomes. To fill thesegaps, this study aimed to reflect on the teacher readiness category for studentoutcomes in the South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. We examine quantitativeclosed-ended questionnaires and documents of students’ evaluation reports usingdescriptive statistics by leveraging the SPSS application. Teachers’ readiness wascategorized as (1) very good (43.69%), (2) good (50.70%), (3) moderate (5.14%), or(4) poor or less (0.46%). Moreover, this study demonstrated that student outcomesin urban areas were better than those in suburban areas. This implies that thereadiness category of teachers in urban areas is better than that of suburban OTL.The better the teacher readiness category, the higher the students’ online learningoutcomes. Therefore, this study suggests that future research should focus on threeareas: (1) how willing teachers are to change student outcomes by participating inclass experiments; (2) why teachers do OTL; and (3) how competent principals areat doing OTL that works (PDF) Mind mapping of teachers' readiness for online teaching and learning: A reflective study of urban and suburban areas Mind mapping of teachers' readiness for online teaching and learning: A reflective study of urban and suburban areas.

This research intends to verify how VSCL might influence English as a foreign language (EFL) speaking in classrooms. This study employed a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test timeseries design for proper verification. The results, measured by the application of the cognitive Function Scale (ACFS), confirmed that VSCL had an effective influence. The ACFS is used to verify the homogeneity level in classification, perspective taking, a verbal test, and a brief hearing test. Additionally, VSCL has the potential to motivate speaking components, namely (1) grammar, (2) fluency, (3) accuracy, and (4) comprehension (t-count = 0.000 less than t-table = 0.68). This approach is recommended for EFL teachers who embrace diverse zones of proximal development (ZPD) in the classroom.

As part of a case study, researchers examined the design and gathered information through open-ended interviews, documents, digital recorders, forum group discussions (FGD), and pertinent literature. All the gathered data were examined through exploration. Accordingly, the FGD forum was used to its fullest potential during the data analysis process for cross-checking, validation, verification, and confirmation. Teachers used pre-teaching (planning), cooperation (observing, supporting, and consolidating), reflection, and evaluations to achieve their goals. In this way, teachers encounter issues such as (1) choosing topics based on what students already know, (2) lack of group cohesion, (3) distinction between group and individual assessment, (4) lack of constructive interdependence, (5) variety of learning styles, and (6) inactivity. More research will be required in the future, as the study only examined a limited sample of people. There are recommendations for future experimental language lab classes. Blended EFL classes typically require the construction of an EFL curriculum through collaboration and technology, based on spontaneous speech activities, to ensure students' preparation before and after their participation.

Previous studies insisted that learners have made several attempts to foster their English language, both via teacher-guided and self-directed study, in recognition of the advantages of speaking as a foreign language. Exploring learners' accounts of their self-directed learning in EFL speaking class using YouTube is the focus of the present research. Online interviews were conducted with four students as the research participants. In this line, the research presented three narratives—behavior-oriented, instructional, and evaluation—to describe students' motivations for completing SDL. Aside from the primary important elements influencing students' SDL with respect to their perspective, the study is aware of several limitations, including the sample size and research design. We urge more research on classroom participation studies in light of this. We anticipat...
