“…This group of learners is more reluctant to speak out loud in a whole-class setting, but they generally are very engaged when working in pairs or small groups. The silence in the whole group is particularly to be expected, as they may experience anxiety, which causes them to be reluctant to speak (Krashen, 1982). They may also be from cultures where silence instead of discussion in the classroom is the norm (Choi, 2015).…”

“…Later on in the semester, this learner contributed to our WhatsApp group for one of the first times, whereas before, she was very hesitant to do so. Krashen (1982) identified the affective filter, which refers to the anxieties of learning a new language that can impede progress. In the conversations with learners, not all reported improved confidence in using English, though some did.…”

The main goal of adult English as a second language (ESL) education in the United States is to expand learners' employment opportunities through traditional teaching methods with textbooks and fixed, pre-determined syllabi, which may or may not align with learners' personal goals. Many studies compare different adult ESL teaching methods by language proficiency gains, but few focus exclusively on how learners feel about how they are learning English. This is particularly so for participatory education in ESL, in which learners explore relevant topics and take action to improve their lives and society at large while simultaneously learning English. This study is unique in that it examines the perspectives of advanced English learners in a participatory-based English for Professionals class in a southern U.S. city. Using narrative inquiry and action research, the study collects data from individual and focus group interviews, as well as the instructor/researcher's field notes. The findings were grouped into four themes: the practical value of participatory classes, a comparison between traditional and participatory teaching, learners' desired improvements to the participatory approach, and learners' perceptions of their English progress. The study shows that learners appreciate participatory learning but also have some concerns, such as the lack of traditional grammar instruction. The study discusses how the teacherresearcher addressed these concerns during a semester.

“…The information age continues to advance the process of global economic integration, and transnational communication is becoming popular in all fields and industries. The requirement of language skills for human resources can be found everywhere, most notably in English, a language category with an international character [6][7]. When engaging in crossborder communication, the depth of interaction between countries, the progress of technological interchange, and even the degree of cultural harmonization are directly affected by the English language skills of the people involved, and even the ability to achieve pleasant and successful results in cooperation projects is also affected to a large extent [8][9].…”

In the age of information technology, the teacher is no longer the only source of information, and a single lecture mode can trigger a range of messages for learning emotions. For this reason, this paper designs a cs-structured computer-aided translation system composed of machine translation in a neural network. After solving the exposure bias problem, the model regularization method combined with the bi-directional decoding consistency is used to optimize the assisted translation system. Then, aspects of the effectiveness of students’ use of the system on their English proficiency improvement were studied. The test scores of the test and comparison classes showed that the mean values of the scores before and after the test of the test class were 13.58 and 15.94, with a mean difference of 2.36 points. The mean values of the scores before and after the test of the comparison class were 14.58 and 14.94, respectively, with a mean difference of 0.4. Comparing the absolute values of the mean differences between the scores before and after the test of the two classes, it is clear that the test class improved their English proficiency level significantly more than the comparison class. Furthermore, the overall satisfaction of the teachers using the system reached 85.62%. Therefore, in terms of traditional teaching methods, the assisted translation system is more capable of improving students’ English proficiency. It enables teachers to improve English teaching efficiency in the classroom and promotes the modernization and intelligence of English teaching.
