Abstract

Adapting to the current condition of the COVID-19 pandemic has become crucial to keep teaching-learning going since the shift of traditional classes to emergency remote teaching. Meanwhile, teachers and students have difficulties implementing emergency remote teaching(ERT), especially in speaking classes. Thus, this present research aimed to explore the teachers' and students voices on emergency remote teaching in speaking classes to contribute to the previous related studies by employing a phenomenological study, as the research design, at a private university in Ciamis, Indonesia. The data were collected by distributing close-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 15 EFL students and 2 EFL teachers who have experienced emergency remote teaching in speaking class. The results of this study revealed that speaking class-based emergency remote teaching could be carried out interchangeably through synchronous and asynchronous platforms, namely Zoom Meeting; Google Meet; Google Classroom; and Video Recording, along with its benefits and drawbacks. Furthermore, the successful implementation of emergency remote teaching could not be separated from the solutions to overcome the problems and the school support in training teachers and students to implement emergency remote teaching and become well-trained in utilizing technology.

Abstract

This study investigated the interface between pragmatic and grammatical competence in second language acquisition. This study aims to discover the conceptual framework of how pragmatics competence interfaces with grammatical competence. This study employs three research questions such as (1) how pragmatics competence and grammatical competence are interfaced with each other, (2) what kind of pragmatics competence should be learned by the learner of a second language, and (3) to what extent grammatical construction interface with the pragmatic domain. This study used the groundwork of the library research method, which forms the theoretical framework of this study by searching, reading, and evaluating some journals from the online journal that deals with the topic. The result revealed that pragmatic competence and grammatical competence are interfaced with each other since grammatical construction in the utterance contributes to the language use expression.

Abstract

Research on international teaching practicum (ITP) has revealed challenges for teacher trainees, particularly in advancing their teaching strategy in the context of intercultural context. However, other studies suggest that the program holds the potential for the development of teachers trainees’ skills. This study examines the teaching strategies and difficulties encountered by Indonesian EFL teacher trainees and their intercultural sensitivity level during the ITP program in Thailand. This case study involved three Indonesian EFL teacher trainees participating in the ITP program in Thailand. Data were obtained from questionnaires, observation, and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed statistically, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that participants employed a variety of teaching tactics, including goal setting, working examples, noting similarities and differences, providing recognition, assigning homework, providing feedback, practicing, visual scaffolding, modeled discourse, the grammar-translation approach, and facing some cultural barriers. Furthermore, the intercultural sensitivity level demonstrated that all teacher trainees can interact, appreciate differences, be confident, enjoy, be attentive, and value different perspectives when communicating in multicultural circumstances. The study implies that the ITP program should be continued by facilitating a bridging course to cope with intercultural context.
