The purpose of setting language proficiency levels is to promote effective teaching and enhance the quality of education. Language proficiency levels provide an objective reference against which teachers’ proficiency can be gauged to help them pursue continuous professional development. Teachers are encouraged to be to strive for higher levels of language proficiency for they cannot then teach what they do not know. Adolescents who are entering the adult world in this age need literacy to feed their imaginations for them to be able to create a world of the future. Due to the increased English language rapidly, the aptitude to use English meaningfully is indeed needed for further studies, academic achievements, journeys throughout the world as well as social and other professional education contacts of different kinds (Hashemi, 2011). Teachers play a central role that fosters student learning. The multiple roles of teachers in the teaching process are the key to effective teaching. The school, being an educational organization is dependent upon teachers’ effectiveness of teaching. There is ample evidence that effective teachers are the most important in-school contributors to student learning in classrooms (Glazerman, Loeb, Goldhaber, Staiger, Raudenbusch, & Whitehurst, 2010; Harris, 2012; Hattie, 2009; MET Project, 2012b; Weisberg, Sexton, Mulhern, & Keeling, 2009). A teacher believes that circumstances such as socio-economic status of the students or availability of resources are significantly more powerful influences over student learning and achievement than his or her teaching that reflect his or her low teaching efficacy. Importantly, high efficacy teachers produce higher student achievement (Bruce, et al. 2010). Teachers’ English proficiency can impact their ability to be responsive and effective in teaching. They should have self-efficacy on their skills.

Building from findings showing that undergraduate computer science continues to have the highest attrition rates proportionally for women within postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines—a phenomenon that defies basic social equity goals in a high status field—this paper seeks to better understand how student experiences in local higher educational settings can influence persistence decisions, particularly for women. Updating and extending work in computer science, our qualitative analysis interprets this wider problem, first, by applying a field theory of practice to more clearly theorize how varying social realms and positions influence student experiences and feelings of belonging. Second, we use an in-depth comparative case study of two introductory or “gateway” computer science courses in two universities to detail how classroom, departmental, institutional, and extra-institutional characteristics, including instructional practices and popular stereotypes, may shape action for students in specific higher educational contexts. While previous studies have highlighted the significance of broader computer science cultural values, self-efficacy beliefs, and experience with computers to women’s attrition, our findings provide a new theoretical lens to conceptualize the complex ways these and other factors connect in students’ daily lives—through preening male students or “brogrammers,” authentic or collaborative learning experiences, and uncomfortable social interactions due in part to women’s underrepresentation. Our findings also point to differences in local interactions and social positions that can begin to mediate these factors, including opportunities in class to ask questions, collaborate, and work on real-world example problems; fuller access to instructors; and departmental and campus infrastructural supports that contribute to a more meaningful sense of belonging in computer science.
