Abstract

The present study examines four pairs or eight students who wrote their creative writing assignments collaboratively. As opposed to the popular view, which stated that writing is one of the most difficult subjects to learn for EFL students, many studies have reported that collaborative writing (henceforth CW) is regarded as a technique that can improve students’ productive writing skills to a great extent. The researchers would like to see how effective CW was for the students who did their writing assignments with their pairs by employing a qualitative case study to examine the eight students’ experiences in writing their essays and fictional stories. The researchers wanted to know why some students could adapt to this learning model, and others faced some problems or failed to achieve the target of learning outcomes. Opened-ended questionnaire and in-depth interviews are used to elicit data from the students. The first pair was the most successful example of partnership in writing since they opened themselves for critiques and suggestions. In contrast, the second pair had some problems that disturbed their collaboration as they did not seem to open themselves for critiques and suggestions. The third pair failed to do an effective partnership because they could not solve problems that blocked their cooperation right from the beginning. The fourth pair found their way for an effective collaboration when they opened themselves for critiques and suggestions. The success or failure in the partnership heavily depends on each student collaborator's willingness to open themselves for criticism and suggestion.

Abstract

The following research examined the experiences and perspectives of five students who took a case-based critical reading and writing course. Many university students in Indonesia lack critical thinking skills due to our learning system, which places little emphasis on critical reasoning in assessing and solving problems. They are used to be taught to memorize information rather than examining, analyzing, and solving problems. In this regard, we designed a case study to examine our students' perceptions of the difficulties associated with case-based learning and their strategies for resolving the issues as they moved throughout their case-based learning. We chose five students who had taken the course and collected data from them to learn about their experiences and perspectives. We gathered information about their experiences through observation, note-taking, a survey, an analysis of their writing, and an in-depth interview. Our findings indicated that the students encountered difficulties working in groups, identifying appropriate cases and resolving them, and writing critical commentary for reflective writing. However, as the lectures continued, they overcame their difficulties by developing a collaborative spirit throughout the course, mastering the art of case construction, and paying close attention to their grammar when completing their writing assignments.

Abstract

Pandemi covid-19 telah mengubah proses pembelajaran baik pada sisi belajar siswa ataupun sisi mengajar guru. Hal ini dikarenakan mayoritas belajar dilakukan dengan moda online atau dalam jaringan (daring). Siswa dituntut agar lebih bertanggung jawab pada proses belajarnya karena ketiadaan guru disamping mereka walau mereka tetap diberi penjelasan dan tugas secara daring agar tetap termonitor proses belajarnya. Guru dituntut agar menguasai pendekatan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan perubahan yang terjadi, satu diantaranya adalah pendekatan pembelajaran self-directed learning. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PPM) FKIP Universitas Jambi telah dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk memberi pelatihan dan pemahaman mengenai pendekatan belajar Self-Directed Learning (SDL) kepada guru SMPN 1 Merangin. Dengan teknik penjelasan, pemberian contoh dan modelling, dan diakhiri dengan sesi tanya jawab, kegiatan pelatihan ini telah terlaksana dengan baik. Tindak lanjut dan refleksi dari peserta juga telah didapatkan melalui angket yang disebar melalui google form. Secara umum guru-guru peserta pelatihan telah mengerti konsep dasar dan karakteristik SDL. Dengan pemahaman tersebut mereka diharapkan bisa memaksimalkan potensi penerapan SDL dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar nantinya.

Abstract

Drawing upon Teo's (2013) model of critical reading and writing stages and Moseley's (2005) Integrated model for understanding thinking and learning, this qualitative case study aimed to explore the lecturer's knowledge of teaching the integrated reading and writing course and his experience of teaching the course using synchronous Case-Based Learning (CBL) during Covid-19 Pandemic. Data were collected through online classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated that the lecturer designed the Critical Reading and Writing course to develop students' critical arguments from multiple worldviews; however, he perceived that CBL failed to meet the course's objectives due to student-related problem factors. Students' under-achieving level of critical thinking skills and their problems in terms of English proficiency, learning disengagement, and hesitance to explore unfamiliar phenomena contributed to the unsuccessful implementation of the CBL. Pedagogical implications are highlighted for future research

Abstract

This study investigates the types and causes of errors in descriptive writing produced by first-semester EFL students, focusing on texts describing people and places. Data were collected through two writing tasks administered to a purposively selected class, complemented by interviews with six representative students. Using Dulay’s surface strategy taxonomy, errors were classified into omission, addition, misformation, and misordering, while their causes were analyzed based on the frameworks of Brown and Norrish. The findings indicate that omission and misformation were the most frequent error types, reflecting students’ limited mastery of basic grammatical features such as subject-verb agreement, article usage, and adjective order. Interview data supported the written analysis, revealing contributing factors such as inadequate grammatical knowledge, native-language interference, and limited attention to linguistic accuracy. Although the small purposive sample limits generalizability, the study offers pedagogical insights to improve EFL writing instruction by enhancing grammar awareness and self-revision strategies.

Abstract

This study examines English lecturers’ experiences of supervising undergraduate theses in an Indonesian university, focusing on how supervisory practices are shaped by lived experience and institutional power relations. Drawing on a synthesized framework integrating narrative inquiry and micro-political theory, supervision is conceptualized as both a narratively constructed practice and a politically negotiated process. Employing a qualitative research design, in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 English lecturers of varying seniority. The data were analyzed iteratively through within-case and cross-case thematic analysis guided by the three-dimensional inquiry space of narrative inquiry and Ball’s micro-political concepts of power, interests, and negotiated order. The findings demonstrate that supervisory authority is exercised through informal negotiation within an incoherent institutional structure, that students’ difficulties are largely institutionally produced rather than individually caused, that both students and junior supervisors experience micro-political vulnerability, and that emotional labor operates as a compensatory mechanism sustaining supervisory practice. Overall, the study shows that undergraduate thesis supervision functions not as a purely procedural task but as an emotionally sustained and micro-politically negotiated practice, underscoring the need for clearer institutional support and greater attention to power relations in undergraduate thesis supervision. Keywords: thesis supervision; lecturer experience; supervisory practices; institutional context; higher education

Abstract

This study is among the first to examine moral shock and narrative indeterminacy in Penelope Rowe’s The Innocents through reader-response criticism. While scholarship on ethically disturbing fiction often emphasizes thematic or ideological critique, less attention has been paid to how readerly affect evolves during the act of reading. Addressing this gap, the article employs a qualitative reader-response–oriented close textual analysis to investigate how sympathy, moral destabilization, and narrative indeterminacy structure interpretation. Rather than presenting empirical reader data, the analysis focuses on implied reader positions embedded in the text. The findings identify three interrelated mechanisms. First, innocence is constructed affectively through narrative alignment with the child protagonist. Second, moral shock destabilizes trust in institutional authority by exposing interpretive rigidity. Third, the open ending withholds psychological closure and transfers ethical responsibility to the reader. These responses are not incidental reactions but structured aesthetic strategies that generate the story’s ethical force. By demonstrating how affect, indeterminacy, and reader positioning operate together, this article advances reader-response criticism and literary ethics, showing how discomfort and uncertainty function as mechanisms of ethical meaning-making in morally unsettling short fiction.
