“…There is a growing body of current research literature on NA in different EFL contexts that are associated with primary schooling (Barrios-Arnuco et al, 2018;Kabilan & Veratharaju, 2013;Kang, 2018;Nieman & Hugo, 2010;Nijakowska, Tsagari & Spanoudis, 2018;O'Sullivan, 2003;Tzotzou, 2014;Walker, 1999;Zein, 2017). In the literature on NA in primary school contexts, it seems possible to identify several research themes associated with NA that focus on (i) the use of the English language in an EFL classroom (Nieman & Hugo, 2010;O'Sullivan, 2003;Tzotzou, 2014;Walker, 1999), (ii) professional development of in-service EFL teachers (Kabilan & Veratharaju, 2013;Zein, 2017), (iii) EFL learners with special needs in an EFL classroom (Nijakowska, Tsagari, & Spanoudis, 2018), and (iv) the needs and challenges experienced by pre-service primary school EFL teachers (Barrios-Arnuco et al, 2018;Kang, 2018).…”
