Teacher-Teacher Collaboration in Higher Education: EFL Teachers' Professional...Marzs
Recently teacher - teacher collaboration as means of professional development has gained a lot of importance. However, data driven research of how collaboration takes place particularly in the Saudi Arabian EFL context is nonexistent. Based on this premise, this empirical study presumes that is first of its kind to investigated the effect of collaborative initiatives on English as foreign language teaching and learning in higher education. To this end, 15 teachers of intensive English program at a private university in Saudi Arabia took part in the study and data was obtained over the period of 2 semesters. A lab classroom was used to conduct needs based Collaborative Learning Sessions (CLSs) and teacher interaction was kept informal. The success of this initiative was assessed with a help of a survey, interestingly results showed significant interest among the participants and positive outcomes of collaborations. The qualitative data analysis also revealed suggestive feedback for further facilitation of such ingenuities. Implications for educational practitioners and prospects of future research are discussed.

The document discusses a study on the effects of form-focused instruction (FFI) on ESOL learners' accuracy in written production. There were two types of FFI studied: implicit FFI which incidentally draws attention to forms, and explicit FFI which directly teaches grammar rules. Two teacher participants delivered lessons using either implicit or explicit FFI to experimental groups. Accuracy in writing was measured before, right after, and 3 months post-instruction using controlled and free writing tasks. Questionnaires and interviews with teachers found that most supported explicit FFI and formal instruction to help improve accuracy, though acknowledged learners benefit differently. The study found some short-term benefits to accuracy from FFI but not sustained long-term effects. Overall, the document examines the impact
Beat eggs in a bowl until creamy. Add dry ingredients like flour and baking soda and do not stir. Melt butter in the microwave for about a minute and add to the egg mixture along with milk.

This document provides a lesson plan for a gallery activity using pictures of London landmarks to teach upper-intermediate English language learners. The activity aims to help students practice speaking about and recognizing landmarks in London. Students will walk around the classroom looking at pictures of landmarks posted in different areas and try to identify the city and locations. The teacher anticipates students may struggle with pronouncing landmark names and being unfamiliar with London landmarks, and plans to address this through repetition and providing context through additional materials. The document evaluates that using engaging pictures and a kinaesthetic activity helped motivate students and meet the goals of improving students' speaking skills and vocabulary about London landmarks.

As knowledge sharing is more en vogue than knowledge hoarding, this workshop will demonstrate a repertoire of practical applications pertaining to innovation which serves as a strong motivator for my students. – I am enthusiastically engaged!
A Kaleidoscopic Representation of Visual Literacy in a EFL Classroom of a Ara...Marzs
English is predominantly Lingua franca in the Arab world. However the importance of being proficient in a language that is a vehicular connection in order to communicate and to be successful in diverse set of fields helps opportunities to knock. This paper will examine the inclination towards Visual Literacy (VL) in the Second language (L2) classrooms of Saudi Arabia. Briefly shed light on the theoretical back ground that stipulates the effectiveness of visuals on Second language learners (SLLs). As well as suggest some useful implications for teachers. This action research explores one of the key factors that reflect upon effective language-learning situations which is ‘Visual Literacy’. Moreover, the paper will also look at how effective is Visual literacy in the context of Preparatory Year Programme (PYP) at Prince Sultan University (PSU). Data were collected with help of a survey for teachers and 100 learners’ sample of writing skill collected from 010 /B1-B2 level; analyzed to conclude that visuals can help to exploit and enhance the language proficiency of the Native Arab Learners (NALs).
