        This mixed-methods design study has been conducted to gain insights into the developing interactive tasks in Iranian EFL students in terms of self-monitoring, self-regulation, and willingness to communicate within the educational system. The study collected data using the questionnaires measuring self-monitoring scale (SMS), self-regulated language learning scale (SRLLS), and willingness to communicate (WTC) to compute the differences in interactive scores of 40 students in an experimental group with the interactive scores of 40 students in a control group. The study adopted a qualitative interview-based methodology with EFL learners who took part in the investigation and the extent to which they could achieve and receive the instruction with significant findings. Accordingly, the study as personality assessment developed the semi-structured interviews with 40 students in an experimental group and 40 students in a control group to explore students’ motivational beliefs and their attitudes towards interactive tasks influencing their performance in learning and assisting them to communicate successfully. As the results of the study, using the independent sample t-test, the interactive tasks could facilitate suitable training and professional development. The major finding of the study was related to the influence of interactive activities in improving positive attitudes towards interactive tasks and was beneficial to language learning. Based on the attitudinal analysis as the results of this study, using the Transcribed Interview Sample with coding (an extract) clearly identified that students with interactive tasks mainly outperformed those with regular instruction. Furthermore, the findings of the research indicated that students’ achievement was improved in terms of their motivation, autonomy, and empowerment as contributed to their learning. However, this study revealed that teachers could increase the academically collaborative talk as well as social-emotional behavior of students in their teaching and learning environments to share feeling safe, taking risks, and enjoy constructive effects. تفاصيل المقالة

        The purpose of this cross-sectional mixed methods sequential explanatory study was to find out the effects of enriching McCroskey's (1992) Willingness to Communicate (WTC) questionnaire using oral-visual role-play on EFL responses from comparing the responses of 117 pre-intermediate EFL learners to this instrument before and after the enriching act. This study relates to sociolinguistic research in order to develop more authentic data collection and assessment. The quantitative results indicated no statistically significant effect in average score of the responses, and a decrease in reliability from original to the enriched one, but individual and item internal changes. Then, it followed up with 12 purposefully selected typical respondents to explore those quantitative results in verbal protocol after each administration of original and enriched WTC questionnaire that detected source of variability due to purpose, place, visualization, age, gender, and personality of the interlocutors in the role-plays. The quantitative and qualitative findings from the two phases of the study are discussed with reference to the prior research. Finally, implications and recommendations for EFL instructors, supervisors, and language assessors are provided. تفاصيل المقالة

        The present study investigated the relationships among willingness to communicate, communication apprehension, and self-perceived communication competence in Persian (L1) versus English (L2). A total number of 235 adult native Persian EFL learners were selected through convenience sampling to participate in the study. The population consisted of 118 intermediate learners and 113 upper-intermediate learners. The transferability and predictability of these communication variables across L1 and L2 was checked through correlational analyses and linear regression. The findings showed that among these variables communication apprehension was more of a trait-like predisposition which was transferred across first language and foreign language. WTC in Persian had little predictive effect on WTC in English; also, self-perceived communication competence in Persian predicted only 15% of SPCC in English. Implications of findings could provide teachers insight into the extent to which these communication variables are trait-like or situational. تفاصيل المقالة

        Willingness to communicate (WTC) plays a central role in learning a second/foreign language. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of doing problem-solving task on learners’ WTC in English. To fulfill the purpose of the study, 61 pre-intermediate learners were chosen by means of administrating a placement test. Learners were pretested through three scales of WTC and its two antecedents: self-perceived communication competence (SPCC) and communication apprehension (CA). Of course, the experimental group was provided with fifteen problem-solving tasks during the course, while the control group was not. After fifteen sessions of the treatment, two groups were posttested through the same three scales. The results demonstrated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in terms of their WTC’s level. Moreover, the learners’ WTC was found to be directly related to their SPCC and indirectly related to CA. So based on the MacIntyre’s path model (1994), these both antecedents can be the best predictors of WTC. The analysis of the data was done through multivariate analysis of variances (MANOVA) statistical programs. تفاصيل المقالة

        The current study examined the Iranian EFL teachers’ and students’ perceptions about Communication Strategies Teachability. The study was conducted with 20 teachers and 110 students from universities and private language Institutes in Tabriz, Iran. The literature regarding the teachability of communication strategies (CSs) has been far from conclusive. Some researchers reject the possibility of CSs instruction while many empirical studies support their teachability. Taking a mixed method design, the present study used a language proficiency test, a questionnaire and an interview for data collection. In the quantitative phase, the participants’ responses to questionnaire before and after a 12-week period of teaching CSs were statistically compared. The analysis of the quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire through Paired-samples t-test indicated that the students’ perceptions towards the usefulness of CSs grew significantly more positive after their instruction. The qualitative analysis of the interview data collected from the teachers indicated that most teachers found CSs useful and possible to teach. It was also found that these strategies improved capability of English language learners to speak and enhaned their conciousness of CSs. This study could offer pedagogical implications for both teachers and students and pave the way for further studies in the field. تفاصيل المقالة

        The current quasi-experimental quantitative study aimed to find out how interactive tasks could impact the Iranian EFL students’ self-monitoring, self-regulation, and willingness to communicate in a classroom setting. The study utilized there questionnaires, self-monitoring scale (SMS), self-regulated language learning scale (SRLLS), and willingness to communicate (WTC), to assess changes in interactive scores of 40 students in an experimental group with the interactive scores of 40 students in a control group. The results of this study, using the independent sample t-test, clearly revealed that the students with the interactive tasks mainly outperformed those with the regular instruction. In more, the study proposed that the interactive tasks were effective to improve the students’ achievement as well as alleviate and increase their performance through utilizing interactional competence. The findings of the research also indicated that the students were in an attempt to be the more adaptive and engaged learners which would be contributed to their learning. However, applying teaching methods should address interactive activities in an effective and meaningful way in a non-threatening environment in the classroom to increase engagement in the language classroom alongside the improvement of the students’ confidence and enhancing learning. تفاصيل المقالة
