Original abstract
La dirección principal de esta investigación es analizar e investigar los desafíos y oportunidades de la enseñanza del inglés que se presentan en el CEBG Nuevo San José, una escuela de entorno rural multigrado, en la actualidad no se cuenta con un docente especializado en la materia. Esta carencia, acompañada a la falta de recursos didácticos, dificulta al docente de grado regular que pueda impartir una enseñanza de calidad a un grupo de alumnos de diferentes niveles en la misma aula. Esto representa un gran obstáculo para que los estudiantes progresen en su aprendizaje y en su desarrollo académico. La adquisición de una segunda lengua es un instrumento esencial para su desarrollo profesional y educativo futuro, pero se ve limitada debido a que no reciben la orientación adecuada. Esta investigación utiliza diferentes instrumentos, como entrevistas, observaciones de profesores y alumnos, y encuestas, para comprender cómo se sienten los alumnos respecto al aprendizaje de un nuevo idioma. También busca explorar las cualidades de los estudiantes y la necesidad de utilizar tecnologías y herramientas reales que ayuden a mejorar sus habilidades de aprendizaje de idiomas de una manera real, sostenible y organizada en entornos rurales multigrado. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es generar recomendaciones claras sobre la importancia del aprendizaje de idiomas en entornos donde hay escasez de profesores especializados y promover políticas educativas más inclusivas.

Cristine Ombao
A bibliometric analysis of 56 articles from Scopus (2017-2025) mapped publication trends, leading contributors, and thematic clusters in multilingualism and inclusive classroom practices in English Language Teaching. The United States and Indonesia led research output, with inclusive education and ELT as dominant theoretical anchors. Underdeveloped areas include decolonization and disability-inclusive pedagogy.
Original abstract
This bibliometric analysis examined published research on multilingualism and inclusive classroom practices in English Language Teaching retrieved from the Scopus database from 2017 to 2025. Guided by three research questions, the study mapped publication trends, leading journals, authors, institutions, and dominant thematic clusters across 56 articles using VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence visualization. The findings revealed a steady acceleration in publication output over the analyzed window, with inclusive education and English language teaching emerging as the dominant theoretical anchors of the field. The United States and Indonesia led the field in research output, followed by a globally distributed tier including Poland, Iran, Spain, and South Africa. The University of Warsaw (3 publications) and Isfahan University of Technology (2 publications) ranked as the most productive institutions, while Chan and Lo, Lau and Shea, and Nijakowska et al. registered as the most cited authors. The keyword analysis clustered scholarship around inclusive, multilingual, EFL/ESL, and higher education strands, with peripheral domains such as decolonization and disability-inclusive pedagogy remaining underdeveloped. The findings provide a foundation for advancing evidence-based, multilingual, and equitable ELT research through the next decade.

THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
Madaminova, Nargizaxon Jahongir qizi,
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English Language Teaching (ELT) is prompting a reevaluation of curriculum development, learner assessment, and teacher responsibilities. A thematic analysis reveals a shift toward personalized learning and data-informed curricula, suggesting AI will redefine teachers' roles and learning objectives rather than replace traditional instruction.
Original abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English Language Teaching (ELT) signifiesa critical evolution in both pedagogical practice and instructional design. As AI technologiesrapidly develop and become widely accessible, educators and researchers are reevaluating thefoundational components of language instruction, including curriculum development, learnerassessment, teacher responsibilities, and communicative goals. This article explores themedium-term implications of AI in ELT, identifying key challenges and opportunities arisingfrom its implementation. A thematic analysis of current discourse in the field reveals a shifttoward personalized learning, data-informed curricula, and the need for new literacies amongboth teachers and learners.

Original abstract
Este proyecto está centrado en el diseño de un programa participativo de formación del idioma inglés, dirigido a padres y educadores del CEBG José Marciano Moreno, en la comunidad de Buen Retiro, Antón, provincia de Coclé. Esta iniciativa surgió ante la problemática de las escuelas multigrado-panameñas, en donde carecen de docentes especializados, y esto le sumamos el limitado apoyo de los padres debido a su desconocimiento del idioma. El objetivo principal es crear una red de apoyo sostenible para mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza, pero sobre todo empoderar a los padres con herramientas prácticas que sirvan como guía en el aprendizaje del idioma inglés. Teniendo como intervención un diagnóstico inicial de necesidades y la implementación de cuatro sesiones de capacitación interactiva. Estas sesiones abordaron temas como la importancia del inglés, estrategias para incorporarlo en la vida diaria, técnicas de lectura y la creación de una red de apoyo. Como resultado, se fortalecieron las habilidades metodológicas de los docentes, se empoderó a los padres con herramientas prácticas y se fomentó la creación de un mural motivacional que simboliza la unión de la comunidad. Este estudio de caso, con enfoque participativo, demuestra que la implicación conjunta de familias y educadores es clave para superar las limitaciones estructurales.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Lesson Planning and the Development of English Teaching Methods: Teachers’ Perspectives
Azza Elmadani, Shiraz Al-Ali, Salma Mohammed Osman Elias, Mudathir Yousif Mohamed Ahmed et al.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming English Language Teaching by aiding lesson planning, instructional design, material development, personalized instruction, assessment, and classroom interaction. Teachers report that AI saves time, offers differentiated instruction options, and provides adaptive materials, while ethical concerns include overdependence, plagiarism, privacy, and teacher qualifications. AI is seen as supplementary rather than a replacement for human educators.
Original abstract
In today's world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents an innovative factor in education, especially in English Language Teaching (ELT). The purpose of this research paper is to explore the influence of AI on lesson planning and English teaching methodologies based on teachers' insights. Specifically, it will be considered the impact of AI on instructional design, material development, personalized instruction, assessment, and classroom interaction in the context of English language teaching. For analysis, a qualitative-descriptive and analytical approach will be applied using a review of empirical findings, scientific literature, and personal experience related to integrating AI in ELT. According to results, artificial intelligence contributes to teachers' performance by saving their time, offering options for differentiated instruction, providing adaptive instructional materials, and enabling innovation in the pedagogy field. At the same time, the use of technology is viewed as supplementary to traditional educational activities rather than replacement to human educators. Ethical aspects associated with the integration of AI in the process of education, overdependence on AI-based resources, plagiarism and academic integrity, privacy protection issues, and teacher qualifications should be considered in the case of English teaching.
