Abstract

Outdated teaching styles often lead to monotonous English classes in high school and affect students' enthusiasm in the learning process especially if the class is not equipped with technological developments. To address this challenge, this preliminary study designed and developed an interactive e-module with Environmental Context using the Flip Builder application as learning media for Explanation Text material to support English learning through multimodal learning strategies in senior high school. This study employed Research and Development approach and implemented ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) as initial research techniques. Moreover, the final evaluation methods occurred to ensure the feasibility of the e-module. The result of this research was an interactive e-module that contains multimodal texts which include written texts, images, animations, videos and games to capture students' interest during the learning process. The validation results indicated that the e-module was valid for all aspects. Therefore, it can be inferred that the interactive e-module using the Flip Builder application on Explanatory Text material with environmental context for high school student was feasible to be implemented in schools.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to identify the functions of code-switching and to explain why teachers employ code-switching in English classrooms. This study utilized a qualitative research design to investigate the phenomenon of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Code-switching data were collected from three schools through classroom observations and audio recordings. To support the analysis, interviews with teachers were conducted to gain deeper insights into their reasons for using code-switching. The findings show that teachers use code-switching in the classroom to give instructions, provide feedback, build students’ confidence and comfort, and support students’ understanding of new English vocabulary. The functions of code-switching performed by teachers are not limited to pedagogical purposes but also relate to behavior management and interpersonal or affective interactions with students. Teachers also use code-switching as a strategic tool by transferring and integrating two languages to enhance student engagement and communication during the teaching and learning process.
