چکیده | ||
Since little is known about how EFL learners experience and understand effective English language classroom, this study was an attempt to find out about the Iranian EFL learners’ experiences of an effective English language classroom at the tertiary level. The design of the current research drew on a phenomenological study in which the lived experiences of EFL learners concerning the effective English language classroom were explored. The primary data collection method was in-depth interviewing with seven Ph.D. candidates (two males and five females) who had been studying English for years and were selected through purposive sampling. The data were coded and explicitated using Colaizzi’s seven-step coding strategy. The three major resulting themes were a) Teacher characteristics, b) Classroom interaction, and c) Class performance. In addition, key findings from the study suggest that two elements of personal experiences and personal beliefs constitute effective English language classroom from the Iranian EFL learners’ perspectives. Recommendations are provided for EFL researchers as the current study reveals. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
از آنجا که اطلاعات کمی در مورد تجربه و درک فراگیران از کلاسهای موثرِ زبان انگلیسی بهعنوان زبان خارجی وجود دارد، این مطالعه با هدف آگاهی از تجربۀ زبانآموزان ایرانی از کلاس زبان موثر در سطح دانشگاهی انجام شد. پژوهش حاضر به شکل یک مطالعۀ پدیدارشناختی طراحی گردید و در آن تجربۀ زیستۀ فراگیران زبان انگلیسی در ارتباط با کلاس زبان موثر مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. دادههای اولیه از طریق مصاحبۀ عمیق با هفت شرکتکننده (دو زن و پنج مرد) که با نمونهگیری هدفمند انتخاب شده بودند، جمعآوری شد. هر هفت نفر دانشجوی مقطع دکتری با تجربۀ چندین سالۀ یادگیری زبان انگلیسی بودند. دادهها با استفاده از راهبرد کدگذاریِ هفت مرحلهایِ کولایتسی کدگذاری گردید و مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. سه موضوع اصلی بهدست آمده عبارت بودند از: الف) ویژگیهای مدرس، ب) تعامل در کلاس، و ج) عملکرد در کلاس. علاوه بر این، یافتههای کلیدی این تحقیق نشان داد که از دیدگاه زبانآموزان ایرانی، تجربه و باورهای شخصی فراگیران، دو عنصر تشکیلدهندۀ یک کلاس زبان موثر است. در پایان، براساس یافتههای این پژوهش پیشنهادهایی برای پژوهشگران ارائه شده است. | ||
