Abstract

The way an instructor utilizes questions constitutes an essential issue to ponder. By understanding them, the interaction between the instructor and students and the students’ performance of certain tasks can be construed. However, it may be challenging when it comes up to online learning for the situation is different from the situation they commonly experience via a face to face learning. Thus, this study aimed to reveal the questions deployed by the instructor, and the students perceived it during the online learning over six sessions using a WhatsApp group. It was conducted in one university in Bandung city. Twenty-three graduate students and an instructor were involved. A mixed-method with an embedded design was utilized and the data were garnered through online archives and interviews. Through the online archives, the types of questions used were investigated. Meanwhile, some systematic coding procedures were employed to analyze the students' voices of the questions used. The findings revealed that convergent questions were the most frequent type of questions found followed by divergent questions, procedural questions, and rhetorical questions consecutively. Besides, most of the students perceive positive views related to the questions used. However, some challenges still emerged during the online class.

Abstract

Gestures alongside language constitute one of the essential semiotic resources in an English classroom interaction. It is based on the credence that the meaning-making in any English classroom discourse is realised not only through a language as a semiotic resource, but gestures constitute the other determinant semiotic resources that might facilitate the effective instructional practices and assist students’ English learning. However, scant scrutiny of the way a native English teacher uses gestures in an EFL classroom setting was still found. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate one of the British sitcoms, Mind Your Language. This film is worth investigating for it tells about a native English teacher teaching pupils with multicultural backgrounds. A systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis (SF-MDA) focusing on the ideational metafunction was employed to analyse the artifact, the British sitcom. The findings reveal that various types of gestures were employed by the teacher. Also, the gestures deployed had significant roles and functions, i.e. not only help visualise the lesson learned but also indicate the teacher’s state or condition as well as state during the lesson delivery. Lastly, it suggests that English teachers should take into account the co-contextualising relation between semiotic resources for it might lead students to achieve the expected outcome of the curriculum.

Abstract

Due to its overarching status and power, the English language has dominated and influenced nearly in various means of communication, and one of which is instantiated in advertisements. However, studies concerning the hegemony of the English language represented in an advertisement were found to be under-explored. Thereby, the present study aimed to scrutinise the domination and power of the English language, particularly in Indonesia, represented in one of the advertisements, which is a remake video of a viral video from 2017 to date, entitled ‘Gak Bisa Bahasa Inggris!’ from a Youtube Channel named Pahamy. Semiotic analysis was employed to analyse the advertisement. The findings revealed only five out of eight types of syntagma found comprising descriptive syntagma, bracket syntagma, episodic syntagma, autonomous shot, and scene. The present study concluded that it seemed not possible to have the eight syntagmatic types in a very short advertisement video, and some signs found in the advertisement could be used to shed light on the hegemony of the English language in Indonesia, which might result in either positive or negative effect; hence, any thoughtful consideration and action through multilingual education was advocated to solve or at least mitigate this issue.

Abstract

Teacher talk is one of the essential elements through which learning opportunities for pupils are facilitated. Nevertheless, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, investigations regarding the ways a native teacher illustrated in a British Sitcom utilizes embodied actions that influence opportunities for learning characterized as classroom interaction competence are found to be limited. Thus, the present study aimed at unfolding the native teacher talk concerning the ways the teacher uses embodied actions along with verbal language to provide learning opportunities illustrated in a British Sitcom. By utilizing a conversation analysis approach, the artifact, namely a British Sitcom entitled Mind Your Language, was scrutinized. The findings revealed several embodied actions involving gesture, facial expression, and gaze accompanying the teacher's talk significantly facilitate and mediate the students’ learning.  Also, the skills and systems constitute the most frequently occurring mode whereas the least frequently occurring mode was the classroom context mode. Lastly, the study arrived at conclusions that the use of embodied actions is necessarily required for its significant functions and use for teacher talk that lead to classroom interaction competence.

Abstract

Multimodality has been one of the prominent and burgeoning fields and phenomena in English classrooms. It is based on both the credence which is proven by scholarly evidence that English language learning and instruction will be significantly and effectively delivered if more than one semiotic resource or mode is used. Lots of scholars across the globe have taken part in portraying such significance and effectiveness of multimodality concerning English classrooms.  Diamantopoulou and Ørevik (2022) have conflated sheer studies from various distinguished authors providing ‘fresh’ outlooks of the use of multimodality, particularly in English as an additional language (EAL) context across the globe. The use of multimodality in EAL is concisely discussed from various lenses, from its salient perspectives, and pedagogical practices through assessments. Thus, this book is recommended to those who are concerned and willing to capture the latest trajectories of the use of multimodality pertaining to EAL by its par excellence as well as the matter at hand.

Abstract

YouTube has been one of the prominent and significant social media platforms used for many purposes in various fields in recent times, particularly without doubt in the English language teaching field too. To make use of it effectively, teacher YouTubers are required to take into account several factors. One of which is the use of more than one semiotic resource in delivering their messages. Nevertheless, to the best of the writers’ knowledge, prior studies inspecting the meanings made by a teacher YouTuber within a systemic functional multimodal discourse approach were found to be limited, particularly those that address a vocabulary lesson about Ramadan by a native teacher. Thus, the present study is intended to investigate the ways a malenative teacher YouTuber makes meanings through such a social media platform, YouTube. A systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis focused on the ideational meaning was employed to analyse the artifact, an English vocabulary lessonvideo about Ramadan. Three types of semiotic resources comprising the language, gesture, and picture used by the male English native teacher YouTuber in the video lesson will be investigated. The findings reveal that the ideational meanings were realised through a number of processes or representations. The relational processes were the most frequently realisations found for language. For gestures, the ideational meanings were commonly realised through the indexical action to represent relationand the symbolic attributive for pictures. Both co-contextualising and recontextualising relations were found among the realisations of the three semiotic resources. It was highly recommended that the use of more than one semiotic resourcewas employed so as to make the messages were intelligible and accessible.

Abstract

Teacher talk and embodied actions constitute an essential aspect to facilitate students’ learning and learning opportunities in EFL classroom interactions. Nevertheless, evidence has shown that the ways an EFL teacher employs teacher talk and embodied actions are still under-explored, particularly in the Indonesian EFL primary school context. Therefore, the present study is aimed at scrutinising an EFL primary school teacher's use of embodied actions along with teacher talk that leads to classroom interactional competence. Using a conversational analysis approach, the present study inspected six naturally occurring lessons conducted by a female English teacher teaching in the fifth grade. Twenty-six students were involved as the subjects. Moreover, the data of the current study were garnered using observations and included the teacher’s instructional artifacts. Findings reveal some embodied actions were used by the teacher during the classroom interactions. In this case, the teacher’s gazes were found to be directed at a particular student, a group of students, and objects in the classroom. Also, such gazes were found to be accompanied by deictic gestures, metaphoric gestures or beats that were used by the teacher to elicit responses from the students. Moreover, iconic gestures were also found in the data as the teacher was trying to introduce a new vocabulary. The present study reaches a conclusion that most of the interactional features found in conformity with the pedagogical goals for each micro-context or mode were used to support and mediate the students’ learning

Abstract

WhatsApp, as one of the most powerful and ubiquitous social media platforms, has become one of the promising tools utilized for English online learning during the current crisis, COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, interacting effectively via this platform might be challenging for messages communicated to this platform might have more than one meaning that is likely to result in misunderstanding among the users. Thus, understanding deixis, known as one of the interactional phenomena in which language and context can be figured out, is invaluable. Nevertheless, to the best of the writers’ knowledge, studies concerning the use of deixis with respect to WhatsApp for English online learning are still left under-researched. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the deixis employed during online learning via a WhatsApp group. The method utilized in this research was a descriptive study. Besides, the participants comprised 23 postgraduate students and an instructor from an English Education Study Program of one university in Bandung city. The data were taken from the artefact in the form of an online chat archive.  Based on the data analyzed, the findings revealed that all the types of deixis encompassing personal, social, discourse, place, and time deixis were found in online learning through the WhatsApp application. In this regard, the person(al) deixis (46%) was the most frequently used deixis, followed by social (39%), discourse (8%), place (5%), and time deixis (2%), respectively. Moreover, the appropriate and effective use of deixis by the instructor was found to influence students’ engagement and critical thinking ability. Besides, the WhatsApp feature, emojis, was found to be utilized along with the deixis, as well as it assists in providing some emphasis, understanding of the messages conveyed, and showing respect or compliment among the participants.
