EVALUATING JOURNAL
Hello everyone…
Have you ever evaluated an international journal?
In this post, I will give my evaluation a journal that I have read. The journal is "The Implementation of Speaking Fluency in Communicative Language Teaching: An Observation of Adopting the 4/3/2 Activity in High Schools in China".
So, let's see!
1. Background
A. Author Information
- Affiliations
University of Southern Queensland, Australia
- Corresponding Author
Correspondence to Yingjie I.J. That
B. Audience
The research in the article is associated with the EFL learners' speaking fluency and the context of communicative language teaching. Thus, an observation of adopting the 4/3/2 activity in the high schools in China.
2. Purpose
A. The Author's Main Argument
The author stated that CLT is highly recommended in many Asian countries. The author tried to find the achievement of the smoothness of speech for long periods of time and to prove the fluency of speaking is a skill trained in the context of CLT.
B. The Author's Reasons of Argument
- First, the misunderstanding of CLT is an exclusive focus on meaning.
- Secondly, the misunderstanding of CLT is that it should not offer feedback when learners are making a mistake, which means there is no explicit on learner's errors.
3. Reader's Point of View
In my point of view, this journal suggested that communicative language teaching and learning should be in a motivated, stress-free, interesting and practical language learning environment. So, the students will not get bored while studying. Then, the speaking fluency practiced in class will be beneficial for the real-life conversation.
I think that's all and I am very excited to share about journal evaluation.
Thank you for reading, hope this is benefit to us. See you in my next post ☺
