Examining High School ELS\u27 Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Adopting Technology to Nurture English Language Mastery and Proficiency

The proportion of ESL/EFL learners across greater Kuwait is skyrocketing. Earlier scholars in the education discipline have applied insights and techniques of corpora technology to advance English learners\u27 learning and writing aptitudes. The research setting for this study is a high school in greater Kuwait. The research setting was a classroom context where the proposed Corpus-Based Program (CBP) curriculum was integrated into the mainstream learning for one term. The research identified 44 subjects who volunteered to enroll and contribute toward this accomplishment. For quantitative analysis, the project utilized a pre-and-post EFL Writing Test to examine the students\u27 mastery of the language and proficiency in writing using a rubric score to analyze individual performance. I administered a Semi-Structured Interview (SSI) during both the pre-and-post the CBP implementation to document the students\u27 performance before and after implementing CBP. Using a Questionnaire on Corpus Use (QOCU), the identification of students\u27 attitudes and perceptions concerning the corpus and whether it was essential in nurturing their mastery and proficiency of the English language was made. The Evaluative Questionnaire (EQ) was developed to investigate the respondents\u27 attitudes and views toward the CBP. The results indicate that students present positive perceptions and attitudes toward corpus use to nurture their competency in English language vocabulary
