All teachers, whether at the start of their careers or
after some years of teaching, need to be able to try out new
activities and techniques. It is important to be open to such
new ideas and take them into the classroom.
But such experimentation will be of little use unless we
can then evaluate these activities. Were they successful? Did
the students enjoy them? Did they learn anything from them?
How could the activities be changed to make them more
effective next time?
One way of getting feedback is to ask students simple
questions such as ‘Did you like that exercise? Did you find
it useful?’ and see what they say. But not all students will
discuss topics like this openly in class. It may be better to ask
them to write their answers down and hand them in.
Another way of getting reactions to new techniques is to
invite a colleague into the classroom and ask him or her to
observe what happens and make suggestions afterwards.
The lesson could also be videoed.
In general, it is a good idea to get students’ reactions
to lessons, and their aspirations about them, clearly stated.
Many teachers encourage students to say what they feel
about the lessons and how they think the course is going. The
simplest way to do this is to ask students once every fortnight,
for example, to write down two things they want more of and
two things they want less of. The answers you get may prove
a fruitful place to start a discussion, and you will then be able
to modify what happens in class, if you think it appropriate,
in the light of your students’ feelings. Such modifications will
greatly enhance the teacher’s ability to manage the class.
Good teacher managers also need to assess how well
their students are progressing. This can be done through
a variety of measures including homework assignments,
speaking activities where the teacher scores the participation
of each student, and frequent small progress tests. Good
teachers keep a record of their students’ achievements so
that they are always aware of how they are getting on. Only
if teachers keep such kinds of progress records can they
begin to see when teaching and learning has or has not been
successful.

Traditional EFL classrooms face several challenges,
including limited exposure to authentic language use, lack
of engagement, and varying learner proficiency levels.
Research indicates that reliance on non-authentic materials
can hinder listening comprehension and motivation among
students. For instance, substituting traditional listening inputs
with spontaneous teacher discourse and storytelling has been
proposed as a means to enhance engagement and provide
authentic language exposure (Ypsilanti, 2024). Additionally,
the integration of Content and Language Integrated Learning
(CLIL) approaches can bridge the gap between vocabulary
learning and meaningful text production, fostering a more
engaging learning environment (Balle & Olsen, 2023).
Moreover, varying proficiency levels among learners often lead
to common writing errors, such as grammatical mistakes and
vocabulary misuse, which necessitate targeted instructional
strategies to address these challenges effectively (Isma et al., 2023). Teachers also encounter difficulties in adapting
to curriculum reforms and integrating digital media due to
limited resources and training, which can further exacerbate
engagement issues (Alnasib & Alharbi, 2024; Syarifuddin &
Hz, 2023). Addressing these challenges requires innovative
teaching strategies and a supportive infrastructure to enhance
EFL learning outcomes.

Today, many of the pedagogical springs and rivers of
the last few decades are appropriately captured in the term
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), now a catch
phrase for language teachers. CLT is an eclectic blend of
the contributions of previous methods into the best of what a
teacher can provide in authentic uses of the second language
in the classroom. Indeed, the single greatest challenge in
the profession is to move significantly beyond the teaching
of rules, patterns, definitions, and other knowledge “about”
language to the point that we are teaching our students to
communicate genuinely, spontaneously, and meaningfully in
the second language.
A significant difference between current language
teaching practices and those of, say, a half a century ago, is
the absence of proclaimed “orthodoxies” and “best” methods.
We are well aware that methods, as they were conceived of
40 or 50 years ago or so, are too narrow and too constrictive
to apply to a wide range of learners in an enormous number
of situational contexts. There are no instant recipes. No
quick and easy method is guaranteed to provide success.
As Bell (2003), Brown (2001), Kumaravadivelu (2001),
and others have appropriately shown, pedagogical trends
in language teaching now spur us to develop a principled
basis—sometimes called an approach (Richards & Rodgers,
2001)—upon which teachers can choose particular designs
and techniques for teaching a foreign language in a specific
context. Every learner is unique. Every teacher is unique.
Every learner-teacher relationship is unique, and every
context is unique. Your task as a teacher is to understand the
properties of those relationships and contexts.
(BROWN, H. Douglas. Principles of language learning and teaching. 5. ed.
Londres: Longman, 2006)
In the sentence “pedagogical trends in language teaching
now spur us to develop a principled basis…”, the most
accurate meaning of the word “spur” in this context is

In foreign language education, the teaching of culture
remains a hotly debated issue. What is culture? What is its
relation to language? Which and whose culture should be
taught? What role should the learners’ culture play in the
acquisition of knowledge of the target culture? How can
we avoid essentializing cultures and teaching stereotypes?
And how can we develop in the learners an intercultural
competence that would shortchange neither their own culture
nor the target culture, but would make them into cultural
mediators in a globalized world? This paper explores these
issues from the perspective of the large body of research
done in Australia, Europe and the U.S. in the last twenty
years. It links the study of culture to the study of discourse
(see, e.g., Kramsch 1993, 1998, 2004) and to the concept
of translingual and transcultural competence proposed by the Modern Language Association (e.g., Kramsch, 2010). Special
attention will be given to the unique role that the age-old
Persian culture can play in fostering the cultural mediators of
tomorrow.

Information and communication technology (ICT)
ICT uses language to develop and apply technical
computing skills. Learners practise how to find, develop,
analyse and present information, and they learn how to model
situations, solve problems and evaluate their solutions. There
are many opportunities for CLIL ICT teachers to support
their learners’ understanding of key ICT concepts and skills
through the use of physical objects, visuals, demonstrations
and hands-on practice. It is these visual elements of the
subject that makes ICT a good one for learners who are new
to CLIL. However, since ICT lessons may often concentrate
on technical skills or involve learners sitting silently behind
a computer, the challenge for ICT teachers is to create
opportunities for CLIL learners to think for themselves, to
speak and to practise communicating in writing. ICT is ideal
for cross-curricular work: learners can use the content of their subject lessons to carry out ICT tasks in another language. As
they develop ICT knowledge and skills, CLIL learners can be
taught how to think, talk and write like ICT specialists.

CLIL is an approach or method which integrates the
teaching of content from the curriculum with the teaching
of a non-native language. It is increasingly important in our
global, technological society, where knowledge of another
language helps learners to develop skills in their first or home
language and also helps them develop skills to communicate
ideas about science, arts and technology to people around
the world. It gives learners a different learning experience
compared with most foreign language teaching because in
a CLIL classroom, the curricular subject and new language
are taught together. Thinking and learning skills are integrated
too. CLIL can involve many methodologies from both subject
and language teaching, so CLIL presents new challenges for
teachers and learners.

Our world is changing rapidly and so are the needs and

become an essential tool for international communication,
and so have many transferable skills that are crucial to our
learners’ employability in a landscape where new jobs and

innovations. However, innovations go beyond technological
advancements. In the world of English language teaching

methodology, design, content, and, of course, in technology.
However innovative, technology shouldn’t be used for the sake
of using the latest technology because innovation is about
addressing and solving current challenges and offering fresh
solutions. It is about adapting to changing needs and contexts
and enhancing learning outcomes. It is about reimagining old
ways of teaching and learning and attempting new pedagogies.

As one of the oldest and most influential foreign language
pedagogical journals, The Modern Language Journal (MLJ)
offers valuable insights into how technological advances
have affected language teaching and learning at various
points in history. The present article will review the proposed
pedagogical use of technological resources by means of a
critical analysis of articles published in the MLJ since its first
edition in 1916. The assessment of how previous technical
capabilities have been implemented for pedagogical purposes
represents a necessary background for the assessment of
the pedagogical potential of present-day technologies. In this
article I argue that, whereas most “new technologies” (radio,
television, VCR, computers) may have been revolutionary in
the overall context of human interaction, it is not clear that
they have achieved equal degrees of pedagogical benefit in
the realm of second language teaching. I further claim that
the pedagogical effectiveness of different technologies is
related to four major questions: (a) Is increased technological
sophistication correlated to increased pedagogical
effectiveness? (b) Which technical attributes specific to new technologies can be profitably exploited for pedagogical
purposes? (c) How can new technologies be successfully
integrated into the curriculum? and (d) Do new technologies
provide for an efficient use of human and material resources?
