Тип записи:Публикация, Exploring Cognitive and Creative Strategies for Linguomethodical Reflection: A Qualitative Case Study of Pre-Service English Teachers(Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2025-12-28); ; ; Gaziza SmanovaThis qualitative case study explores how pre-service English language teachers employ reflective practice through cognitive and creative strategies during their practicum. Conducted in Kazakhstan, the research involved six final-year undergraduate ELT students who participated in classroom observations, maintained reflective journals, and took part in semi-structured interviews. Data collection was guided by a researcher-developed checklist, and thematic analysis revealed how participants used cognitive strategies such as strategic planning and self-monitoring to enhance their instructional awareness. In addition, creative strategies including metaphors, storytelling, and visual reflection tools facilitated emotional insight, flexible thinking, and the development of teaching identity. The integration of these reflective approaches also strengthened linguomethodical awareness by enabling participants to connect language pedagogy with authentic classroom experiences. Overall, the study highlights the pedagogical value of combining cognitive and creative reflective methods in teacher education programs to promote adaptive, learner-centered, and context-responsive teaching practices among novice language educators. As a qualitative case study, it provides nuanced insights into the reflective dimensions of pre-service teacher development in the context of English language education in Kazakhstan. - Некоторые метрики заблокированы вашиминастройками согласия
Тип записи:Публикация, Examining the Effects of Differentiated Digital Instruction on English Language Teaching in Inclusive Classrooms(Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2026-06-27); ; ; Gulbagira SaurukovaThis study aimed to examine the challenges teachers face in differentiated digital instruction in inclusive English language classrooms and to investigate its effects on students’ English achievement and attitudes. The study was designed as an exploratory mixed-method study. In the qualitative phase, data were collected from 27 English teachers through semi-structured interviews to explore their experiences, professional development needs, and support expectations.

Тип записи:Публикация, Integration of AI-Based Tools in Teaching Ethnocultural Units: A Qualitative Comparative Study Between Kazakh and English-Language Learners(Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2026-06-27); ;Saule Daurenbek; Aymeken DossmurzaevaThe use of AI translation tools in foreign language learning is growing due to the rapid adoption of AI technologies in educational settings. There is limited research on how AI translations influence students' understanding of ethnocultural expressions and the development of their intercultural sensitivity. This study investigates how students understand ethnocultural expressions in AI-translated texts, identifies cultural errors they find, and examines how they verify and correct these translations. A qualitative research design utilizing content analysis was employed. The study involved 20 university students divided into two groups: Kazakh (n=10) and English (n=10). Students used a variety of AI tools to translate texts that contained ethnocultural units. Semi-structured interviews were conducted post-assignments to assess students' perceptions of the cultural appropriateness of translation, identify biases, and evaluate verification strategies. Cross-case content analysis was employed to examine the collected data. The findings showed that most students recognized the literal nature of AI translations and the loss of cultural nuances, particularly in idioms, proverbs, and metaphors. Patterns in the data suggested that Kazakh participants often drew on prior cultural experience when interpreting ethnocultural expressions, whereas English-language participants more frequently referred to analytical and contextual strategies. The most common verification strategies were comparing several AI systems, back-translating, analyzing context, and consulting additional sources. Additionally, engaging with AI translations fostered a critical mindset toward automated translation tools and raised cultural awareness. Overall, AI translation supports language learning and intercultural reflection, but its limitations in conveying deep cultural meaning require pedagogical guidance. Future research should expand sample sizes, examine different educational contexts, and incorporate quantitative measures of intercultural competence. - Некоторые метрики заблокированы вашиминастройками согласия
