Abstract

Reflective journals could encourage students to develop the habit of writing regularly and hone students' critical thinking skills since they will start investigating their explanation and put all of the ideas into writing in their own words.This study was aimed to determine the types of errors written by an EFL student in her reflective journal writing on her blog account,the manner in which the EFL student generated errors, and the sensible reasons that affected the EFL student in producing her reflective journal writing errors. This study was classified as a qualitative content analysis. The data for this research came from ten reflective journal entries by an EFL student on her blogging account. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. Furthermore, the researcher discovered five distinct sorts of errors in an EFL student's reflective journal writing on her online blogging platform. They included errors in time, omission errors, insertion errors, parts of speech errors, and other errors. Basically, the average number of errors actually happened unintentionally; the EFL student committed errors by omitting, adding, and disordering certain words while constructing sentences. Numerous variables contributed to the incidence of errors, including interlingua and intralingua transfer, a lack of vocabulary, and the use of ineffective translation methods.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between gender and foreign language writing anxiety among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pre-service teachers’ students. Utilizing a qualitative case study, the research involved 56 participants, divided equally between male and female students, all enrolled in the English Language Education Study Program at a state university in North Sumatra. A survey of the Second Language Writing Anxiety Scale (SLWAS) was assigned to participants to determine their level of anxiety. To explore how gender, anxiety levels, and students’ experiences and engagement with second/foreign language writing anxiety are connected, the data gathered from the questionnaire were analyzed and grouped according to the participants’ gender. The data analysis shows show that among male respondents, 32.14% experienced high writing anxiety, 64.28% reported moderate anxiety, and 3.58% had low anxiety levels. For female respondents, 39.28% experienced high anxiety, 57.14% reported moderate anxiety, and 3.58% had low anxiety levels. Overall, both male and female participants possess varying levels of writing anxiety, with a higher percentage of females experiencing high anxiety compared to males, although the difference is not significant. More extensive research, incorporating a wider variable, is needed to deepen our understanding of how gender relates to writing anxiety.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of enhanced extensive reading on the incidental acquisition of prepositions "in," "on," and "at" related to time and place among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Ten senior students from the English Education Department at the State Islamic University of North Sumatera participated in a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The pretest assessed preposition proficiency, followed by a two-week extensive reading intervention, resulting in a significant improvement in post-test scores, as evidenced by a paired t-test (p = .000). Utilizing Google Forms for standardized data collection, the study incorporated multiple-choice and fixing incorrect prepositions sections, revealing a notable mean score increase from 59.5 to 69 post-intervention. Effect sizes, calculated with Cohen's D, indicated a small effect (0.15) in the multiple-choice section and a substantial effect (0.78) in fixing incorrect prepositions. Participants' positive perception of extensive reading aligns with literature emphasizing the benefits of repeated exposure to prepositions in texts. Acknowledging limitations such as a small sample size and limited reading materials, the study recommends future research to enhance study design and diversify participants. Common mistakes in preposition usage, including challenges in time-specific contexts and confusion between "in," "on," and "at," were analyzed, emphasizing the importance of targeted instruction. In conclusion, combining incidental learning through enhanced extensive reading with targeted instruction proves effective in improving EFL learners' incidental acquisition of English prepositions, offering valuable insights for educators to address specific challenges in preposition usage.

Abstract

This study examines the experiences and strategies of a teacher specialized in English instruction for deaf students at special need school in Medan North Sumatera Indonesia. Since 2017 the teacher has navigated significant challenges, including communication barriers and emotional strain, by integrating sign language (SIBI and Bisindo) into daily interactions and instructional methods. Initial self-learning of sign language, followed by formal training from the North Sumatera Language Center, highlights the critical role of effective communication in enhancing educational outcomes for deaf students. The teacher’s adaptive strategies include simplifying lesson content, employing visual aids, and incorporating sign language into English instruction. Innovative methods such as “English day” in morning assemblies underscore the teacher’s commitment to engaging students despite their disabilities. However, obstacles persist, including limited vocabulary, the complexities of teaching a foreign language to students struggling with their narrative language, and systematic issues like lack of resources and societal skepticism. Emotional management and building trust with students are central to the teacher’s approach, demonstrating a holistic commitment to their emotional and academic development. The teacher’s resilience and empathy, supported by the school’s flexible approach, have fostered positive student engagement and progress.

Abstract

In line with the increasing institutionalization of scholarly publication as a graduation requirement for graduate students around the world, the use of a community of writing practice to support students navigate their publication endeavour has begun to receive attention from academic supervisors and graduate researchers. Despite the burgeoning interest in this topic, there has been little empirical evidence on master’s students’ experiences and perspectives of working within such writing groups at an Indonesian university. This phenomenological case study intends to fill this lacuna by elaborating on the process of a writing group's establishment and development for master's students of English education and exploring their perceptions of participating in such a community of practice (COP). Findings indicate that the writing group served as a flexible and participatory COP that produced critical and enduring alterations in identity as scholarly writers amongst participants. Specifically, their perceived transition into academic writers involves three aspects: knowledge of the values of scholarly publication, construction of a scholarly identity, and demystification of the publishing endeavour. This study's findings can be utilized to inform other master's and doctorate programs, as well as academic professionals seeking interventions to assist their students' productive writing.

Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in understanding the context on text, based on the users' experience. The research question is formulated: to what extent can AI understand and incorporate contextual context when generating text, through the experiences of participants. The methodology for this study follows a qualitative case study design, as outlined by Baxter and Jack (2008), which allows for an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon—AI's capability in understanding context, through participants' experiences. Data collection is conducted using two primary techniques: questionnaires, to gather quantitative data on participants' perceptions of AI's contextual understanding, and interviews, to obtain deeper qualitative insights. The data from the questionnaires will be analyzed using content analysis, which will categorize and quantify participants' responses. The results of the interviews revealed patterns and meanings related to how AI processes and understands context. The findings have practical consequences for developers and users of AI text-generation software.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the level of public speaking anxiety among students based on the differences in human intelligence machine division: STIFIn (Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling, and Insting). This study involved 51 Management students who took the English for Specific course on their semester credits. This study employs a case study that is qualitative in nature. The data was gathered using a semi-structured approach. The data collected was then processed by using two methods: statistical calculations for quantitative data related to the results of filling out 17 Public Speaking Anxiety Scale (FLAS) questionnaires by students concerning their level of anxiety when performing a public speaking and constructive analysis for qualitative data related to the results of comparing respondents' responses. The results shows that students in the Insting personality have a higher average of public speaking anxiety: 51.60. Students who are Sensing have an average anxiety level of 49.25, whereas students who are Thinking have an anxiety level of 47.50. In comparison, Intuiting students have an average anxiety level of 48.66, while Feeling students have an average anxiety level of 50.17. Consider the implications, some suggestions are discussed to overcome the challenges.
