Description
Summary:<p>The aims of this study were to 1) compare and contrast students behavioural patterns</p><p>of engagement during lessons activities with and without the utilisation of Student</p><p>Response System (SRS) and 2) gauge students perspectives on the use of SRS in</p><p>English language classrooms. The participants of this study were 35 students</p><p>undertaking an English proficiency course at a local university. This study employed</p><p>classroom observations, field notes and interviews to gather the data. They were</p><p>qualitatively analysed and triangulated using thematic analysis. The findings indicated</p><p>that the participants displayed more engaged patterns of behaviours in the classrooms</p><p>that utilised SRS compared to their behaviours in the ones without SRS. Students also</p><p>viewed the utilisation of SRS as engaging and preferred to have more lessons with SRS.</p><p>Based on the results of this study, it may be concluded that SRS was an effective tool</p><p>to increase students behavioural patterns of engagement. The implication of the study</p><p>is that SRS could be utilised to encourage more engaging patterns of behaviour in</p><p>English language classrooms.</p>
