Translanguaging in Aviation ESP Blended MOOC Flipped Classrooms: ESP
Teachers’ Perceptions. Journal of Language and Translation, 13(1), 101-114.
https://doi.org/10.30495/TTLT.2023.698909
This study aims to examine the perceptions of teachers who teach Aviation
English (AE) regarding translanguaging used in the classroom. Collaborating
with ten AE teachers in Iran using a questionnaire given after they taught in
online classes carried out via MOOC. The research results show that although
teachers recognize the importance of translanguanging translanguaging in
certain contexts, they do not implement it and advocate it in AE English
learning in the classroom. On the other hand, translanguanging is used by
students in explaining to their peers. The analysis has been carried
outconducted well and produces consistent arguments throughout the article. It
thus contributes to the ESP and AE literature in a way that provides insight
worthy of consideration regarding teachers' perceptions and practices in the use
of translanguaging in the classroom to teach AE.

Utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) in higher education
system: A case review for Saudi Arabia. Energy Procedia, 160, 731-737.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2019.02.186
This research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of modern Learning
Management Systems (LMS) that are commercially available and widely used
in learning in higher education. This was done using the case study method
using universities in Saudi Arabia as the sample. The findings show that the
popular LMS are Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas and D2L (Desire to Learn), but
the most widely used (90%) in Saudi Arabia is Blackboard LMS. It was
concluded that LMS basically have similar characteristics and features,
unfortunately they are not equipped with features that help in carrying out
laboratory experiments even though this is considered important for
engineering and science learning. This article has conclusively provided a
comparison of a range of modern LMS available today. This article has largely
contributed to exposing the inherent shortcomings of LMSs that cannot
accommodate laboratory learning for distance learning.

Arabia. International Journal of Distance Education Technologies
(IJDET), 17(3), 1-24. https://dx.doi.org/10.4018/IJDET.2019070101
This research specifically examines the level of acceptance of Blackboard LMS
by adopting the Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT).
Quantitative analysis was carried out by examining 171 questionnaires that had
been filled in by the target sample, namely undergraduates at King Khalid
University. The conclusion of this research is that the direct contributors to
behavioral intentions to use LMS are performance expectations, social
influence and technical support, with technical support as the most fundamental
thing in determining acceptance and use of LMS. This research has clearly
explained the basis of the hypothesis and then used the extended UTAUT
model to test it so as to provide robust results. This research contributes to a
broader understanding of students' behavioral intentions in using LMS as a
learning medium by incorporating technical support factors as an extension of
UTAUT.

This research aims to examineexamines students' preferences in using three
different learning platforms (Video Conference, Learning Management
System, and Messenger Application) to learn English as a Foreign Language
(EFL). Descriptive analysis and thematic analysis were used to analyze 140
questionnaires that had been distributed at universities in Jakarta and Aceh,
Indonesia. The findings show that overall students prefer face-to-face learning
compared to online learning. However, LMS through the Google Classroom
platform provides the highest language learning potential, meaning focus and
authenticity compared to the other two channels. On the other hand, Cisco
WebEx, video conference platform, wins in terms of authenticity and meaning
focus, while WhatsApp, the messenger platform, is most preferred because of
its meaning focus, learner suitability, positive impact and because of its
practicality. It contributes to the LMS literature by providing a comparative
analysis of comparative channels or platforms in EFL learning, thereby
exposing their advantages and disadvantages compared to other platforms.

This research conducted an analysis of ESP needs in the Tourism Program at a
vocational school and developed adapted English language materials.
Fundamental analysis with a qualitative approach was carried out using two
questionnaire instruments and semi-structured interviews. The findings show
that ESP in Tourism Vocational School requires speaking skills and language
components which are delivered through video and image media. Material
development is needed in the presentation of speaking, listening and reading
exercises. The analysis has consistently put forward robust arguments
throughout the article. It has contributed to the ESP literature by developing
English language materials adapted to the needs of Tourism Programs in
Vocational Schools.

This research is a language needs analysis (LNA) aimed at Algerian
aeronautics students and students at Aures Aviation Academy taking into
account ICAO linguistic requirements and the conditions of ESP courses at the
academy. Data was collected using a series of methods, namely two types of
questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The
analysis concluded the main linguistic requirements that pilots, and air traffic
controllers must have been listening and speaking to guarantee the quality and
accuracy of communications in in-flight medical and weather exchanges. The
article has well explained the findings and summarized them into a conclusion
that emphasizes the importance of linguistic needs analysis for a successful
professional career in aviation. The analysis strengthens the ESP literature by
showing that specific linguistic abilities must be developed in aviation students.

This research aims to investigateinvestigates students' interest in learning
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and the challenges that hinder its
effectiveness. By usingUsing Richards' Communicative Language Teaching
Theory (CLT), a qualitative and quantitative approach was implemented in
examining the data collected by questionnaire for 45 respondents. This article
concludes that there is high interest from students in studying ESP, but there
are several factors that influence the learning process, such as fear of practice,
lack of facilities, and class size. The researcher has successfully presented his
research comprehensively based on the rules of research reports and convinced
readers that the research is valid. This study has contributed to the ESP
literature by exposing students' interest in learning, but a series ofseveral
limitations have hindered them. This can then be considered in developing
effective ESP learning.

https://doi.org/10.15394/ijaaa.2021.1571
This research aims to analyze the challenges faced by ESP teachers who teach
Aviation English in Turkish higher institutions. The analysis was carried out
using qualitative methods using a constructivist approach by observing the
teaching practices of 5 teachers followed by semi-structured interviews. There
are two main conclusions in the research where low self-efficacy and
contextual knowledge were found among teachers who taught ESP for
Aviation English. This is due to a lack of professional development and limited
experience in teaching ESP. This research has been able to provide arguments
that are worthy of consideration from the side of ESP teachers in providing
Aviation English courses. Furthermore, this analysis is important because it has
provided important insights into the experiences of ESP teachers in the field of
Aviation English.

This research aims to find outdetermine how the Aviation English course can
be integrated into simulation-based learning for prospective pilots. The analysis
was carried out by providing an AE course integrated with flight test
experience to 20 college students and 7 of them were interviewed. The analysis
concludes that the use of simulations in AE courses is seen as important by
students because it can provide a learning environment that is aligned with ESP
teaching, due to high student engagement in simulation-based teaching. ESP
innovation with simulation will be useful for prospective pilots. This analysis
has been carried out in a comprehensive manner and provides arguments that
are consistent with the research findings. This then contributes to the ESP
learning literature that the integration of simulations in AE teaching will
increase students' interest in the material and then encourage them to better
understand English language teaching.

https://doi.org/10.30743/ll.v4i2.3152
This research seeks to map the needs for ESP material for non-English study
students. This was carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach method
which collected 80 questionnaire data filled out by students who had completed
general English courses. The conclusion shows that although current abilities
related to speaking and listening skills are at a low to medium level, there are
different needs depending on the field of science. Therefore, ESP teaching
must be adapted to students' needs based on their respective fields of
knowledge. The research has comprehensively provided arguments that align
throughout the article and match the findings. This has contributed to the ESP
literature that English language teaching in general at university level cannot
meet the needs of ESP based on the field of study.

https://doi.org/10.1111/bjet.12798
This research uses the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (e-TAM) to
examine the extent of Turkish students' acceptance and interest in using
Learning Management Systems (LMS). The method used is quantitative by
providing questionnaires to 282 students from two different universities in
Turkey who actively use LMS. This study concludes that LMS usage intentions
among students are influenced by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use,
and social norms, while perceived LMS usefulness is influenced by perceived
ease of use, social norms, and user interface design. Finally, the perception of
ease of use of the LMS is influenced by user interface design and computer
self-efficacy. The analysis has provided a good argument by presenting the
hypothesis skillfully and then providing good results. This analysis contributes
to the LMS literature by examining students' behavioral intentions regarding
LMS use at the university level. Apart from that, the model also uses two
different sample groups.

This research aims to conduct a needs analysis on the design of ESP courses in
the field of Business and Management Studies in the Moroccan context. The
research used a questionnaire given to 234 students. The conclusion shows that
there is a positive attitude towards learning English with productive skills such
as speaking and reading being the ones most desired to be mastered. This also
produces output in the form of task-based ESP teaching material designs in the
form of class presentations, report writing, participation in mock interviews
and public speaking competitions. This has been presented with concrete
arguments throughout the article. The article contributes to the ESP literature
by explaining the main developments in ESP analysis in higher education as
well as providing a conceptual framework that can be applied to examine the

https://doi.org/10.1515/cercles-2020-2012
This research is the development of a computer-based version of the test of
English as a foreign language (EFL) which is used at the University of Central
Lancashire (UCLan) as an English language test method for international
students. The development research method used in this research involves
observing the practice of computerized English language testing. Meanwhile,
the pilot test was carried out involvinginvolved 9 international students who
took summer classes. The results of the pilot test showed that students viewed
the computerized test positively, including the feedback feature obtained. So
overall this supports the implementation of fully online tests, especially
because of the administrative and business benefits. This argument has been
strengthened by the findings obtained and confirmsthat confirm the conclusions
presented. The analysis supports the EFL literature by providing empirical
evidence based on pilot tests carried out, so that further development of
computerized EFL tests can then be carried out.

This research uses the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology
(UTAUT) framework to examine the acceptance of learning management
systems (LMS) among university teaching staff. Quantitative analysis was
carried out on 244 university teaching staff in Belgium using a questionnaire.
Cluster analysis yielded three distinct groups of technology adopters reflecting
LMS acceptance among teaching staff: those with high (early adopter),
medium (early majority) and low (late majority) scores. The conclusion shows
that early adopters are a group that is happy with innovation and in turn is
ready to use LMS. The analysis has consistently provided arguments that align
with research findings. The analysis has also contributed to the LMS literature
by examining LMS acceptance readiness on the part of educators, which can
then be used in determining technology adoption policies by professional
educators across institutions.

This research is a needs analysis of the English language learning needs for
adult students at the Greek Merchant Marine Academy. Analysis was carried
out on data collected through a questionnaire that examined reasons for
learning, proficiency and reasons for dropping out of the course. The
conclusion shows that learners find learning English useful because they will
need to be able to read and understand machine operational manuals and
construct forms in the future. The preferred teaching method is group work and
finds value in the textbook series at the Maritime Academy but suggests
modifying teaching materials to include technical vocabulary practice
assignments and group activities. The analysis is well done and provides
conclusive arguments throughout the article. This article has contributed to the
field of ESP by providing need analysis for a particular field, as well as
providing appropriate insights for developing English language learning
tailored to the needs of learners.

literature and its implementation in developing ESL/EFL speaking skills.
Qualitative research conducted by examining secondary sources in the form of
a series of literature on this topic which focuses on university level adult
ESL/EFL speaking classrooms. This research concludes that there is a certain
level of effectiveness in using MBFA in ESL/EFL speaking classes, when
compared with other methods. This depends on the strategies and principles
used by the teacher in its implementation. Therefore, the research argues that
MBFA should be tried out by teachers to be implemented in other linguistic
skills such as reading, writing and listening. The arguments in this paper are in
accordance with the findings and make it conclusive at the end of the article.
This analysis contributes to the ESL/EFL literature because it has provided
insight that MBFA is effectively implemented in the English-speaking
classroom.

This article carries out a needs analysis in learning English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) in the context of learning for students in Islamic boarding
schools. The analysis was carried out using qualitative methods involving 93
students and a teacher by collecting data through questionnaires and interviews.
The article concludes that learning English at Islamic boarding schools will be
tailored to specific objectives such as fiqh, islamic history, ahlaq, da'wah, and
others. Apart from that, with a dormitory-based education system, teachers can
design language learning for a longer duration in the students' daily activities.
The arguments made in this article are in line with existing findings. Moreover,
it has opened up insights into the literature on ESP in the context of Islamic
boarding schools where the findings expose different needs and how these have
been addressed by the teachers involved.

https://peerianjournal.com/index.php/tpj/article/view/110
This paper is an exploratory research that aims to analyze the extent to which
Aviation English may become a significant specialization in ESP taught at
aviation universities. Exploratory analysis was carried out by considering a
series of ESP theories and connecting them with appropriate ESP teaching
approaches for learning in the context of aviation universities in Uzbek. The
analysis shows that there is a need which then encourages the creation of a
curriculum in the Uzbek context so that ESP learning in the target language can
occur more easily and effectively in accordance with the standards created by
ICAO. In presenting this article, the argumentation, although supported by a
series of references, is not done well because the citations are presented
incorrectly. However, the article has contributed to the ESP literature by
providing a new perspective on establishing AE as an ESP specialty based on
ICAO standards.

institution in South Africa. South African Journal of Higher Education, 35(2),
188-206. https://dx.doi.org/10.20853/35-2-4025
This research aims to examine the factors that influence the level of use of
Blackboard Learning Management Systems (LMS) based on the General
Extended Technology Acceptance Model for ELearning (GETAMEL), namely
through perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the technology. The
method used was a survey of 125 students in South Africa. The findings show
that perceived ease of use is influenced by self-efficacy, entertainment, and
anxiety while perceived usefulness is influenced by subjective norms and
enjoyment. This study has been able to fully explain a series of factors that can
influence the adoption of LMS as technology used in the classroom learning
process. Overall, this study has provided another insight that the adoption of an
LMS by students depends on its ease of use as well as the enjoyment and

This research is an empirical test of the efficiency of learning Aviation English
using the flipped classroom approach at the National Aviation University. The
analysis was carried out using mixed methods with a convergent design and
involved 272 students in two different Aviation Transportation study groups.
This research concludes that the flipped learning method adopted for distance
learning Aviation English has been accepted and is effective. This is
demonstrated by increasing professional language competency for aviation and
students gaining a good impression during learning. The analysis has been
carried out well and provides arguments that are in line with existing findings.
This analysis contributes to the ESP course by providing evidence that the
flipped class to accommodate distance learning of Aviation English is efficient
and given positive responses by students so that it can be considered as an
approach in learning ESP in Aviaton English.

This research aims to analyze the extent to which interactive learning
implemented in ESP courses can increase motivation to learn English in
aviation students. The research was carried out by teaching students Aviation
English and then testing the students' proficiency level according to the
Language Proficiency Assessment Scale (ICAO, Level 4) on 23 participants.
The research results concluded that the use of interactive learning, which
involves simulations, role-playing and games, has increased students' learning
motivation and level of language competence. This analysis has explained the
argument well and then produced a conclusion that there is a positive
relationship between providing interactive learning and increasing student
competence in studying AE. This analysis provides evidence that the
interactive approach in ESP is an important way of teaching foreign languages
at university level, especially for improving students' communicative
competence in accordance with ICAO's specific requirements.

https://doi.org/10.1080/02188791.2020.1798738
This research conducted a needs analysis from a stakeholder perspective to
develop and design an ESP course for students at university level in Cambodia.
Thematic analysis of data collected through documentation and semi-structured
interviews was carried out with 24 stakeholders. The analysis shows that there
are a series of challenges to the development of ESP in the Asian context,
namely the lack of appropriate ESP training for teachers, low teacher
motivation, low English proficiency of students and the inherent complexity in
developing materials. Apart from that, several ESP designs specifically for
STEM fields in the context of higher education are proposed. The article has
provided arguments tailored to the findings. This article contributes to the ESP
literature by providing a systematic and research-based approach to designing
ESP courses for science fields at the university level.

https://dx.doi.org/10.21462/jeltl.v6i1.498
This study investigates the extent to which Moodle as a Learning management
system (LMS) can effectively assist English language learning. Data was
collected using semi-structured interviews and open questionnaires given to a
number of English teachers. This article concludes that the effectiveness of
English language learning carried out using Moodle will depend on the
teacher's pedagogical abilities and the teacher's experience in using Moodle as
an LMS. In this case, the author has been able to provide an overview of how
the effectiveness of English language learning through LMS Moodle can be
encouraged by teachers who have prepared a series of curricula, learning
methods and others that are adapted to the context, which are carried out
electronically. This article exposes the important role of teachers in using LMS,
because the differences in the learning landscape directly and using LMS
require them to prepare different ways of learning.

learning through the Mobile learning for English Language Teaching (ELT)
channel. This analysis was carried out with a literature review of 28 articles
that had been extracted based on certain inclusion and exclusion criteria in the
period 2012 to 2021. The results of the analysis show that the use of mobile
applications has helped ESP by encouraging the acquisition of special
vocabulary that is different from English in general because in mobile learning
the emphasis is on vocabulary and language competence. This analysis has
comprehensively examined the range of available literature on ESP and mobile
learning thereby exposing gaps in research. Furthermore, this is important
because it shows which mobile devices are ready to use as well as in
encouraging continuous learning in ESP and mobile learning topics.

Issue on CALL (9), 202-218. https://dx.doi.org/10.24093/awej/call9.14
The purpose of writing this article is to examine the professionally defining
personality traits that ESP teaching should possess. A multidisciplinary
approach involving students in four pilot groups and five ATC groups to
conduct ESP training with the new curriculum. The conclusions in this research
reveal that Aviation English training is an important subsystem of a
professional pilot and ATC training system to develop their dialectical abilities.
This then led to the organization of better language teaching for pilots and
ATCs. The analysis has been carried out well, resulting in arguments that are in
line with what was hypothesized. This article has enriched the ESP literature by
providing evidence that Aviation English is important in improving the
professionalism of pilots and ATC. This also shows that it is important to
integrate soft power skills in the ESP pilot and ATC training curriculum.

https://doi.org/10.1007/s40299-021-00593-7

This study examined English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers'


perceptions of online formative assessments implemented in three Chinese
universities during the Covid-19 period. The qualitative case study method was
used involving three teachers who taught English writing skills. The findings
show that formative assessment of writing ability is determined by three types
of teacher involvement: distracting, auxiliary, and integral. This is manifested
by a variety of emotional, physical-cognitive, and social investments in the use
of information and communication technology in formative assessment. Apart
from that, teacher confidence, digital literacy and teaching experience also
influence the level of individual engagement. The article has clearly provided
the main argument which then provides a conclusive conclusion and
summarizes the findings. The analysis contributes to the EFL literature because
it has enriched knowledge regarding the level of engagement of EFL writing
teachers in online formative assessment by identifying three types of teacher
engagement.
