“…It can be implied that program evaluation studies are not one of the top four among other subjects in EFL. Moreover, Alsowat (2017) asserted that more than two thirds of the EFL studies were conducted at university level and the rest is in the K-12 level which shows parallel findings with the current study. Moreover, it is also found out that there is a limited number of studies that deals with the holistic view on the EFL program evaluation.…”

English language education has been provided at all levels of education for a long time in Turkey as well as in the rest of the world. In order to assess the objectives, content, expected target outputs, effectiveness or weakness of the language education given, program evaluation studies are carried out. In this study, a systematic review study was conducted in order to determine English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching program evaluation studies in Turkey published between 2017-2020, and to investigate the levels of these studies, research patterns and focus of the published articles. For systematic review, ERIC and Google Scholar databases were searched and the key words such as "program evaluation, EFL, Turkey" were used. When the results are examined, a total of 24 studies were found between the mentioned years, and most of the studies were conducted on university programs, and the majority of them were conducted as qualitative research. Based on the results, it was revealed that the program evaluation studies were not evenly distributed equally in terms of education level, and it was understood that the subfields of the program were studied rather than the general content. This undesired state revealed the need for more research on the general program content and lower education levels in program evaluation studies.

“…As a result, each year, three or four publications are published that investigate the applicability of MI-based English learning. Furthermore, when compared to study subjects in English learning [23] with 57 papers, [24] with 200 articles, and [25] with 221 articles. This number indicates that interest in researching on this issue is minimal.…”

The learning approach has altered over the last decade to one that is more focused on the characteristics and needs of children. This is one of the reasons why the Multiple Intelligence theory is emerging so swiftly. The features of children were based on eight types of intelligence in this concept. This technique may contain a range of learning components such as students, teachers, environmental things such as media, learning activities, and others. Several studies have shown that employing this strategy throughout learning improves linguistic ability. This article investigates the integration of Multiple Intelligence theory with English learning. This research focuses on trends in English learning that combine Multiple Intelligence Theory, education level, media, learning materials, and barriers to implementation in elementary schools. This article examines 18 publications from reputable databases and journals. There is a higher level of education, according to the data. MI Theory is used by a small number of English professors at the university level. The findings of this study may be used to offer an overview of current trends in MI theory, as well as references for future research on this topic. More publications or research on the integration of MI theory in educational settings is looked for in the future. More specifically, difficulties about the implementation of this theory pertain to other language abilities such as reading and writing.

“…To address the research inquiries, the study utilized a research design known as a systematic literature review. As cited by Alsowat [20], a high-quality systematic review takes adequate measures to minimize potential sources of error and bias. In addition, the systematic review is guided by a clearly defined protocol [21], [22].…”

This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to investigate the potential of digital online game-based learning (DOGBL) to enhance motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL). Online gaming has grown in popularity among students, opening up the possibility of using games as powerful instructional resources. Academic achievement depends on motivation, and this study, led by self-determination theory (SDT), explored how external rules, like rewards and recognition, could increase motivation in EFL utilizing DOGBL. The study used the SLR method, examining databases and choosing articles based on predetermined criteria. The chosen publications were examined in-depth, and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) diagram was employed for analysis. For results, DOGBL could enhance teaching EFL by providing flexible and interesting learning environments. Key elements in motivating in DOGBL included game design, personalization, social engagement, curricular integration, and instructor assistance. As a promising method to improve EFL instruction, game-based learning, especially DOGBL, saw considerable developments between 2018 and 2023. Thus, these ground-breaking techniques transformed the way people learn English vocabulary and provided a fun and engaging way to learn the language. For educators and students, the potential for DOGBL to change EFL education is still exciting as technology develops.
