Sharona Moskowitz; Jean-Marc Dewaele – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
Intellectual humility (IH) remains a relatively novel concept, though past research indicates a relationship to open-mindedness, lower propensity towards political bias and amenability to engage with opposing viewpoints. Intellectual humility has shown mixed effects on foreign language learning (Moskowitz & Dewaele [2020]. The role of…

Slabodar, Ira – TESL-EJ, 2023
The increasing necessity for authentic communication in English among college and university graduates has generated an emphasis on communicative instruction in academic English courses.

This article describes how to help students connect what they learn in the language classroom to the outside world as they learn to understand, produce, and analyze spoken, written, visual, and cultural information in their second language (L2).

Awayed-Bishara, Muzna – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2021
This article offers a critical intercultural perspective to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education inspired by Freire's conceptualisation of dialogue required in contexts where teachers must comply with hegemonic language policies. Drawing on an ethnographic study with Yusef, a Palestinian-Arab EFL teacher in Israel, I examine how…

Schwartz, Mila; Deeb, Inas; Hijazy, Sujoud – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2021
The aim of this study was to explore patterns of children's agency enactment in second-language learning as reflected in their language learning and social interactions in a bilingual Arabic-Hebrew-speaking classroom. We examined the connection between these behaviour patterns and the children's L2 progress in the bilingual classroom. The study…

Fuchs, Stephanie; Katzir, Tami; Kahn-Horwitz, Janina – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2021
English as a foreign language (EFL) literacy is necessary for the career success of non-English speaking students. Many students lack adequate EFL literacy skills which may indicate a gap between EFL literacy instruction theory and practice. Teachers' self-efficacy regarding their ability to teach reading and writing, years of teaching experience,…

Dubiner, Deborah – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
The medium of instruction of most Israeli institutions of higher education is Hebrew. Although there are a number of institutions where the medium of instruction is Arabic, many students belonging to the Arab-speaking minority choose to study in Hebrew-medium institutions. Studying in a Hebrew-speaking institution, as such, raises several issues…

Awayed-Bishara, Muzna – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2021
This article examines the constitutive role of English as a foreign language (EFL) as a cultural discourse of action and empowerment through which teachers in marginalized, specifically conflict-ridden, educational contexts act as agents of social and educational change. Although current approaches to teaching English accentuate its transformative…

Israel's Education Ministry invited proposals for the development of a new multilingual policy for the country's education system. We submitted a proposal for an 'engaged language policy' approach, which helps schools to conceptualize and develop a policy that best fits them ideologically and demographically. This study aimed to map teachers' and…

This chapter focuses on a retrospective report of the language experiences of native bilingual Israelis who were born to immigrant parents around independence (1948). It does so by examining narrative life stories of adult Israelis who reconstruct, and reflect on, the impact of language(s) in their lives. Growing up in a period of transition from…

Yoel, Judith – Journal of English as an International Language, 2020
This research examines the visibility of English in the schoolscape of two Israeli teacher training colleges. English in Israel is part of a complex, multilingual reality. Not an official language, it carries prestige and is common in media, commerce, industry, and science. In higher education, its presence, however, is limited, despite being a…
