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

University students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) often struggle with speaking anxiety, limited practice opportunities, and performance pressure. This paper explores the challenges and attitudes of EFL university students towards Project-Based Learning (PBL) implemented in a speaking class at the tertiary level in the Indonesian context. The study included 35 university students from a public university in Indonesia. The researchers employed a mixed-methods approach to examine students' attitudes and challenges. Data were gathered through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the questionnaire revealed predominantly positive attitudes towards PBL. The interviews uncovered challenges, such as lack of confidence, pronunciation difficulties, time constraints, heavy workload, and performance anxiety. Despite these challenges, the students had positive attitudes, emphasising PBL's potential for enhancing speaking skills. The study recommends targeted interventions to address lingering challenges and refine PBL implementation.

Abstract

Metadiscourse refers to the language elements that writers or speakers use to organize, guide, and comment on their text, helping readers understand the structure and connect ideas. This study investigates the critical role of metadiscourse markers in the introduction sections of master's theses, focusing on how these markers enhance clarity and organization, making the text more accessible and engaging. The research aimed to analyze the types and frequencies of both interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers in the introductions of theses by students in the English Education Study Program at Bengkulu University. A mixed-methods approach was employed to analyze 30 introduction sections. The findings show that writers predominantly use interactive markers, especially transitions (70.7%), evidentials (11.7%), and frame markers (8.3%), more than interactional markers like hedges (52.2%) and engagement markers (24.8%). The frequent use of transition markers suggests a focus on guiding readers through the text rather than direct engagement. These results underscore the importance of metadiscourse markers in creating a well-structured and persuasive introduction. Mastering these markers can significantly enhance the quality of academic writing. Future research could extend this analysis to other thesis sections or different academic contexts.
