چکیده | ||
Over the past decades, technological advances have opened up language learning and teaching opportunities and integrated theory, practice, and research in education. Therefore, researchers have begun exploring whether Extramural English activities afforded through technology are linked with improving EFL learners’ language learning. This qualitative study is intended to track the trajectory of two highly proficient EFL learners’ experiences with language learning through technology-based Extramural English (EE). In so doing, it sought to gain insights into technology roles in mediating learners’ ability to achieve high proficiency levels in English language. To this end, the study used narrative inquiry as the main approach, drawing upon different sources, including interviews, diaries, and WhatsApp texting, to collect the desired data. In this study, the EFL learners revealed how technology could provide EFL students with an excellent opportunity to develop their oral language abilities, particularly speaking and listening. Additionally, they demonstrated that technology has great potentials and advantages for enhancing EFL learners’ vocabulary and grammar. An analysis of the narratives also revealed that technology could positively affect their affection and psychological state, such as boosting their self-confidence and inspiring them to pursue language learning with greater motivation. This study would make it possible to identify resources and a range of affordances offered by technological tools, including learners' capacity to benefit from extramural English activities, and extending learning outside of the classroom, which, in turn, can provide insights into language learning occurring in educational contexts. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
این مطالعه کیفی با هدف جستجوی مسیر یادگیری دو زبان آموز زبان انگلیسی بسیار ماهر در زمینه یادگیری زبان از طریق Extramural English مبتنی بر فناوری (EE) در نظر گرفته شده است. با انجام این کار، به دنبال تبیین نقش فناوری به عنوان میانجی در پیشرفت توانایی زبان آموزان برای دستیابی به سطوح بالای مهارت در زبان انگلیسی بود. برای این منظور، این مطالعه از تحقیق روایتی به عنوان رویکرد اصلی استفاده کرد و از منابع مختلف، از جمله مصاحبه، یادداشتهای روزانه و پیامک واتساپ استفاده کرد تا دادههای مورد نظر را جمعآوری کند. در این مطالعه ، زبان آموزانگلیسی روایت کردند که چگونه فناوری می تواند به زبان آموزان فرصتی عالی برای توسعه توانایی های زبانی شفاهی خود ، به ویژه صحبت کردن و گوش دادن ارائه دهد. علاوه بر این، آنها نشان دادند که فناوری پتانسیل ها و مزایای زیادی برای تقویت واژگان و گرامر زبان آموزان زبان انگلیسی دارد. تجزیه و تحلیل روایات همچنین نشان داد که فناوری می تواند تأثیر مثبتی بر عاطفه و وضعیت روانی آنها بگذارد، مانند افزایش اعتماد به نفس و الهام بخشیدن به آنها برای پیگیری یادگیری زبان با انگیزه بیشتر. این مطالعه شناسایی منابع و طیف وسیعی از توانایی های ارائه شده توسط ابزارهای فناورانه، از جمله ظرفیت زبان آموزان برای بهره مندی از فعالیت های انگلیسی خارج از مدرسه، و گسترش یادگیری خارج از کلاس را ممکن می سازد، که به نوبه خود، می تواند ایده ها و پتانسیل هایی را در مورد یادگیری زبان در زمینه های آموزش ارائه دهد. کلیدواژه: Extramural English، فناوری، یادگیری زبان، تحقیق روایتی، زبان آموزان زبان انگلیسی Extramural English: یادگیری زبان انگلیسی خارج از کلاس درس با میانجی فناوری نظیر گوش کردن به فایل های شنیداری، تماشای فیلم و سریال، استفاده از شبکه های مجازی، بازی های ویدیویی و...
