The growth of English medium instruction (EMI) programs at universities worldwide has raised questions about the implications of teaching through L2 English on students' content learning outcomes. This study examined the impact of four factors on students' academic success (e.g. content learning) in the Turkish EMI context: (1) students'…

This study investigates English as a foreign language learners' emotions and questions the authenticity of the communication in language classrooms in Turkey. To become more aware of learners' emotions and to make a speaking module more engaging, the teacher-researcher decided to utilise process drama as a participatory action research…

Preliminaries are prefatory turns and sequences that are used to alert co-participants to the incipient social actions in talk-in-interaction. Using multimodal conversation analysis, this study examines the videorecordings of paired role play interactions in an L2 interactional competence (L2IC) assessment setting. We describe how the participants…

This study explores high school students' and their mathematics teachers' mathematical discourses on the equal sign and variables in the classroom context. The participants in this case study were ninth graders and their mathematics teachers. The data were analyzed in terms of participants' routines, specifically ritual and explorative routines in…

One of the most important keys to create an interactive language classroom is initiation of interaction by the teacher. In order to foster interaction in foreign language classrooms, "questioning" is known as one of the effective ways. However, asking lots of questions in foreign language classrooms does not guarantee stimulation of…

The increasing impact of internationalisation in higher education worldwide has led to the growing use of English as a medium of instruction (EMI). Much research on this phenomenon has focused on stakeholders' viewpoints, but there is increasing interest in investigating interaction in EMI classrooms. One interactional practice which is relatively…

This paper aims to discuss the use of Brousseau's Theory of Didactical Situations in mathematics (TDS) for eighth-graders to explore the concept of triangle inequality in Euclidean geometry. Data sources included observation notes, video recordings of lessons, and students' written work. Data analysis was done through a deductive content analysis…

The purpose of this research is to determine the views of teachers working in primary schools on philosophy education for children (P4C). For this purpose, the study was based on the phenomenology pattern, which is included in qualitative studies. It has benefited from the "purposive sampling" technique, which was determined in…

The aim of this research was to analyze preschool teachers' types of science talks and the variety of concept-related words they used during these talks in class. A picture storybook with a light related concept as the main theme, was chosen as a data collection tool. Teachers were asked to analyze this wordless picture storybook and children were…

This study aims to examine mathematics teachers' interpretations of students' thinking within the scope of teaching experiments as a professional development activity. The method used in this study is a teaching experiment. The participants are 3 elementary school mathematics teachers. The teaching experiment consists of 5 teaching episodes and…

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of digital, dialogic and traditional reading on children's language development aged 48-66 months. Fifty-six randomly selected children enrolled in three different classrooms in a public preschool in Turkey participated in the study. The three classrooms were again randomly assigned as…

This study presents an analysis of teacher discursive moves (TDMs) that aid students in altering their thinking and talking systems. The participants were a science who handled the immersion inquiry activities. The primary data source was the video recorded in the classroom. This video-based data was analyzed through systematic observation in two…

Studies on Second Language (L2) classroom interaction have placed a great deal of emphasis on the value of teacher third-turn feedback practices. However, the roles that seemingly minor aspects of interaction like minimal response tokens (e.g. 'Mm', 'Mm hm', 'Uh huh', 'Okay', 'Yeah') play as a feature of these practices have not been investigated…

The aim of this study is to reveal the contribution of digital storytelling to the creative thinking skills of middle school seventh grade students. The study was designed as a mixed method research. The data were obtained from the digital stories created by the students through block-based coding, video recordings and student interviews.…

Research of flipped classroom can be carried out in such dimensions as teacher, school manager, parents and students. This present research is aimed to investigate the secondary school students' flipped classroom readiness. The survey method was applied in this descriptive study. 'A Scale for Flipped Classroom Readiness of Secondary School…
