Abstract

Pragmatic competence is a crucial component of cultural understanding, encompassing the ability to select and interpret expressions and utterances in specific context of communication. This aspect of language instruction often receives insufficient attention due to teacher priority on language forms over its functions. The primary objective of this study was to identify types of speech acts in the dialogues of the first and fourth editions of the "New Interchange" series written by Jack C. Richards and Jonathan Proctor. Utilizing Searle’s classifications of speech acts, the results indicated that both editions provided a range of suitable speech acts for beginner learners. Moreover, the fourth edition presented a greater frequency of speech acts in a relatively proportional manner compared to its predecessor, suggesting an enhancement in the instructional material's capacity to foster pragmatic competence. To maximize this potential, teachers should use effective strategies that include explicitly teaching speech acts, providing guided practice, and creating opportunities for meaningful interaction. By doing so, learners are facilitated to manage the complexities of language use in different sociolinguistic contexts, thereby improving their communication skills.

Abstract

Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Pembangunan Masyarakat Desa (MBKM-PD) merupakan sebuah program Kemendikbudristek yang menjembatani berbagai kebutuhan stakeholder serta relevansi pemenuhan kompetensi lulusan pendidikan tinggi. Makalah ini mengkaji kembali sebuah program MBKM-PD yang telah terlaksana di Desa Purwosari, Girimulyo, Kulon Progo, DIY dengan skema Service-Learning (SL). Dengan fokus program kerja pada peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia dalam pengembangan pariwisata dan edukasi, MBKM-PD ini telah dilaksanakan dengan kerangka Design Thinking. Beberapa tahap akhir kerangka kerja ini diketahui kurang sesuai dengan skema MBKM-PD sebagai sebuah integrasi kegiatan akademik dan community development. Pendekatan Service-Learning menawarkan sinergi yang menggabungkan antara kebutuhan kompetensi akademis, pengembangan kapasitas diri mahasiswa, dan pembelajaran bermasyarakat bagi mereka. Sementara itu Design Thinking mempunyai kelebihan dalam hal tahapan yang sistematis untuk program perancangan produk atau barang.

Abstract

The pivotal role of ICT during Covid19 pandemic has been indisputable, including the shift from conventional modes of assessment. Pre-service teacher education, therefore, needs to prepare students’ proficiency to design and conduct various types of tests and assessments. This study was aimed to investigate future teachers’ beliefs on online assessments and their intention to use them. Investigation on the students’ perception towards these modes of assessment as compared with the conventional ones was further conducted. Qualitative data analysis resulted in general acceptance of online assessments with variations of beliefs. Meanwhile, participants’ computer self-efficacy and intention to use online assessment were found out to gain the highest mean score. Furthermore, Path Analysis demonstrated strong causal relationship of most factors in the model, except on the frequency of use. This study concluded the reliability of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a framework to investigate pre-service teachers’ acceptance of online assessments for language instruction. Moreover, student belief system should be catered in the enactment of instructional technology, especially in a teacher training program.
