Abstract

Nowadays many teachers use games in learning English because the students easily get bored. This is called gamification, for example by giving points, badges, and leaderboards. This article discusses gamification in English language learning and its effect on students' engagement and achievement. The method used is literature review. The sources are taken from international journals and also national journals. The result shows that gamification can make the students more engaged in learning English, but for the achievement the result is not always the same because it depends on how the teacher uses it. Therefore the teachers should use gamification wisely and not only for fun.

Abstract

Feedback from the teacher is very important in writing, but many students do not read the feedback and just look at the score. This article discusses the role of teacher feedback in improving students' writing performance. The method used is literature review from various international journals. The result shows that teacher feedback can improve the writing of the students, especially if the feedback is specific and the students are given a chance to revise. However, if the feedback is only correcting the grammar, the students do not learn much. So, the teacher must give feedback that is not only about the mistakes but also about how to improve the writing.

Abstract

In many places the children speak the local language at home but when they enter the school they must read and write in Indonesian, so it becomes difficult for them. Actually the mother tongue can help them to understand better. This article discusses the role of mother tongue in supporting early literacy development. The method used is literature review from international journals about bilingual education and early reading. The result shows that mother tongue can help the children in oral language, phonological awareness, understanding the meaning, and also make them more confident to speak in the class. But the mother tongue must not be used to replace the school language, it is only a bridge. Therefore the teacher should use the mother tongue to help the children and slowly move to the school language.
