EDU5IBP: Culturally Responsive and Technologically Enabled EFL Instruction in Large Classrooms

This project fulfills the requirements of Assessment Task 3b by producing a 5000-word report structured around the required sections: introduction, literature review, aims or rationale, research design, findings, discussion, and actionable recommendations. Under the guidelines, it begins with a clearly defined real-world educational problem, low student engagement and poor language development in large Saudi primary EFL classrooms, linked to context and supported by scholarly literature. The literature review meets the task requirement to define key concepts, synthesize existing research, and identify knowledge gaps, thereby justifying the need for this study. The research question and aims are logically derived from the literature, as instructed. To meet the requirements for the research design section, the report outlines the use of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by PRISMA, ethical considerations, and clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, allowing replication of the method. The findings are thematically organized, as per the task brief, and separated from the discussion, which critically links them to existing scholarship. Finally, the report offers three context-relevant, evidence-based, and feasible recommendations, each considering constraints and enablers, addressing the assignment's requirement to produce actionable guidance.
