Allhumdulillah!! excited to share a milestone achievement: i completed my course of language friendly teacher. A language-friendly teacher is someone who understands the importance of communication and its role in fostering a conducive learning environment. They prioritize creating an inclusive atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas. In this course, I learned several valuable lessons that have shaped my approach to teaching. Firstly, I realized the significance of being patient and empathetic towards students with different language abilities. Secondly, I gained insights into various teaching strategies and techniques to help students improve their language skills effectively. Lastly, I understood the importance of continuously adapting and refining my teaching methods to cater to the diverse needs of my students. Overall, this course has been an enriching experience that has broadened my perspective on the role of language in education.

We’d like to share our recent publication in Asia Pacific Journal of Education (SSCI-listed; IF 1.9). This article explores LAL of English teachers at the secondary level. In addition to addressing in-service and pre-service teachers, the article fills an empirical gap by highlighting the role of ‘cram-school teachers’ (or teachers from learning centres, enrichment schools, after-school institutions). These institutions particularly in Asia, with their primary raison d'être being to help students achieve high scores, significantly impact high-stakes testing. While their approach may not deepen understanding of content, their exam-preparation approach contributes to high scores. The study concludes by suggesting future LAL investigations in wider English teaching contexts. 📝Open access: Chang, D. Y.-S.*, Lin, M. H., & Lee, J.-Y. (2024).

The Lasting Effect: Why English Teaching Is a Lifelong Path We assist students on their literary and linguistic travels year after year. Observing their development in critical thinking, communication, cultural awareness, and academic performance is an honor.
