Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of phonemic transcription as a teaching method and its role in today’s pronunciation teaching in Finnish EFL classrooms. It enquires the experiences of using phonemic transcription as a teaching method among recent upper secondary school graduates (2010–2015) via an electronic questionnaire, which also includes small exercises to determine the level of the respondents’ transcription skills. The findings of this study suggest that phonemic transcription is used very irregularly and insufficiently to teach pronunciation.

Abstract:

The National Minimum Curriculum recommends that English lessons should be taught in English, with some code-switching if necessary for the pupils to understand. Maltese and English are the official languages of Malta and both are used in primary education. The aim of this study was to explore the actual use of Maltese and English by student teachers during English lessons. This was done through the use of case studies of three participants: Anne, Suzanne and Lisa. I was interested in how the student teachers used English and why and when they drew on Maltese during their lessons. Through the p

Teacher self-efficacy beliefs (TSE) are an important attribute of effective teachers.
