Abstract

Recently, multimodality has attracted the attention of researchers, notably in the educational milieu. However, only a few studies reported on the way students perceived the use of Genre-Based Multimodal Texts Analysis (GBMTA) for teaching multimodality. After addressing the gap, this study focuses on students’ perceptions on the use of GBMTA in multimodality teaching in higher education. Sixty-nine students were involved in the study. Each of the students produced one journal through three meetings. The journals were then collected for document analysis and thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006). The findings reveal that the students perceived GBMTA as facilitating them in the building of multimodal discourse analysis, challenges and solutions of comprehending multimodal teaching materials, planning better learning strategies in the future, engagement on multimodal learning issues, and multimodal text analysis practices. This study contributes to multimodality teaching or multimodal discourse analysis within genre-based learning.

Abstract

In teacher identity studies, limited attention has been generally paid to how the pre-service teachers constructed their identity by conveying various emotions in their practices. Most scholars identified the pre-service teacher's emotions during the teaching practices program. However, identifying these emotions during online teaching practices remains under-researched. Given this fact, this study probed how an English pre-service teacher’s emotions constructed his professional identity during online teaching practices. This study employed a narrative inquiry of an English pre-service teacher during online teaching practices in one of the senior high schools in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. The data were collected from an English pre-service teacher’s reflective journals and analysed with narrative analysis (Labov, 1972). The findings revealed that the English pre-service teacher met various emotions manifested in his professional identity construction. There were five emotions experienced during online teaching practices, namely worrying, challenging, empathetic, enjoyable, and determined explored in seven critical activities of the professional practice process. During learning to teach, he could manage his negative emotions (i.e., worrying, challenging, empathetic) into positive emotions (i.e., enjoyable, determined). Therefore, his emotions experienced during online teaching practices implied that his professional identity commenced constructing in the seven activities of his professional construction process.

Abstract

Pronunciation has regained its existence in the investigative attempts in the areas of TESOL, Sociolinguistics, and Intercultural Communication. This burgeoning growth has proven the importance of pronunciation teaching and learning, notable in this technology-based language learning era. However, little attention has been given to the description of how the participant learned English pronunciation through internet-based video lessons (IBVL). Hence, this study addressed the void. Avril (a senior high school student in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia) was recruited as the investigative participant. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with Thematic Analysis. The findings reported that she learned English pronunciation by imitating the English tutor of the MmmEnglish channel. She learned by applying three main stages, namely listening and reading, listening and repeating, and shadowing.

Abstract

Countless studies have examined the vital role of ELT textbooks as learning sources, particularly in terms of intercultural, multicultural, and trans-cultural analysis. Yet, none of them specifically talked about religious values as the research focus. Hence, this study aimed at construing religious values represented in a selected chapter of an Indonesian ELT textbook. Descriptive problem-driven content analysis was used as the research design, whilst the research data were collected through document analysis. Later, to analyze the data, the research utilized Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) (O’Halloran, 2008c) as the framework with a focus on representational meaning and transitivity analysis for each visual and textual data. The findings showed that two data modes represent religiosity, namely visual and verbal data. In visual, religious values (artifacts, beliefs, and behaviors) are represented by the classificational process while in verbal data; they are represented by the material and relational processes. Four of Indonesia's large recognized religious communities were represented namely Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Yet, there is no single datum that figures Islamic values, whereas, the Islamic community is the largest in the country and even in the world. Hence, this implication suggests that stakeholders (particularly textbook authors) should pay attention to the issue of how to fairly present the five legalized communities' values existing in Indonesia. Therefore, because Indonesia has varied its communities, ethnicities, and backgrounds, ELT textbooks should fairly embody the diversities more over the religious aspects which are the core competence to gain.

Abstract

WhatsApp has been extensively used by many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Indonesia as a near synchronous online learning platform. This program enables users to make announcements, exchange ideas and learning materials, and participate in online debates. Some recent publications inform its utilization in learning language, yet little discusses how students engage in the learning activities. Therefore, to fill this void, the present study aims to investigate the students' behavioral engagement during online learning using WhatsApp. To collect the data, this study employed observation and semi-structured interviews. An observation was completed in one class at a state university in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia to perceive how the students responded to the teacher's instructions during the learning process. Meanwhile, the interviews were conducted with nine students in a similar class. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students engaged behaviourally by (1) posing questions or comments politely, (2) using emoticons and emojis as politeness reinforcements, and (3) confirming the unclear information behind the scene. Implications for teaching and further studies are discussed.

Abstract

The article presents the perceptions of Indonesian vocational high school students in defining an ideal teacher; what makes a teacher good and bad. This qualitative study employs in-depth interviews to obtain the data. The findings informed that an ideal teacher is the one who builds a positive relationship with the students, for instance, having an individual consideration, easy going, having a deep empathy, motivating, performing comprehensible teaching, enthusiastic, humorous, assertive, humble and patient. Moreover, this type of teacher will also be far from being injustice, antipathy, irresponsible, authoritarian, and short-tempered. Some pedagogical implications areimplicitly discussed.

Abstract

In recent decades, multimodality has played pivotal roles in communication and language pedagogy. Conversely, limited studies have emphasized how intersemiosis is represented in English Language Teaching textbooks (hereafter, ELT textbooks), notably in the Indonesian EFL context. To fill this gap, this study examined how intersemiosis contribute to the process of meaning-making in an Indonesian ELT textbook. A selected chapter containing rich verbal and visual relations was selected as a corpus. The corpus was analyzed through Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SFMDA). The findings revealed that the contributions of intersemiosis were represented by the meaning-making process in verbal and visual texts. This relationship enables students to comprehend the messages communicated by the texts. Pedagogically speaking, the effective design of intersemiosis in an ELT textbook potentially helps students not only understand the delivered teaching materials but also sharpen their multimodal literacy

Abstract

Multimodality has gained burgeoning attention among scholars from miscellaneous disciplines, such as Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Semiotics, Sociology, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, and Language Pedagogy. Nevertheless, little is known about the issue of what teaching materials students need to develop their multimodal literacy, notably in the Indonesian EFL milieu. Hence, this case study addresses this void by examining what type of teaching materials university undergraduate students need to cultivate their multimodal literacy. This study involved 99 undergraduate students from three diverse classes as the participants. The data were garnered through a qualitative survey and semi-structured interviews. They were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The findings outlined the needed multimodal teaching materials by the students encompass praxis-oriented multimodal teaching materials, awareness-raising multimodal teaching materials, academic and professional orientation of multimodal teaching materials, simplified and understandable multimodal teaching materials, critical multimodal teaching materials, and visual-verbal relation-informed teaching materials.  The shifting needs of communication, literacy, and 21st-century learning skills remain crucial as a nexus between literacy policies and practices in higher education contexts, especially in Indonesia. More importantly, this study attempts to promote the magnitude of multimodal literacy in language education.

Abstract

Teaching English speaking has become a centre of attention among scholars and teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) practitioners for a few decades. However, the issue of teaching English speaking in Kampung Inggris/English Village remains under-researched, notably viewed from the tutors’ challenges and solutions in the Indonesian English as a foreign language (EFL) milieu. This study addressed this gap. Two English tutors from Kampung Inggris/English Village got involved as the participants. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with thematic analysis. The findings reported that there were five challenges encountered by tutors when teaching English speaking, namely tutors' inability of exploring English language teaching materials, tutors' insufficient English vocabulary, tutors' ineffective time management during language teaching practices, demotivated tutees to learn English, and perceived teaching anxiety. In addition, the tutors stipulated four solutions to cope with such challenges, namely building a good rapport between tutor and tutees, tutors' self-motivation to English vocabulary enrichment, selecting appropriate and providing updated English language teaching materials, and motivating English language tutees. Therefore, teaching English speaking should not only rely on immersing students in fluency-based activities but also manage tutees' psychological factors to attain more effective teaching English speaking objectives.

Abstract

Various studies have examined argumentative writing from multiple perspectives. However, the quality of arguments in Indonesian and Chinese students’ English argumentative essays, particularly when analyzed from both quality and gender perspectives, remains underexplored. Hence, this study aims to address this gap by investigating the quality of argumentation and gender related patterns in English argumentative essays produced by Indonesian (IDN) and Chinese (CHN) learners of English. The corpus consisted of 20 English argumentative essays on the same topic, namely non-smoking, which were purposively selected from the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE). The essays were grouped based on students’ nationalities into Indonesian and Chinese categories. The data were analyzed using the Argumentation Quality Evaluation proposed by Erduran et al. (2004) and the Thematic Analysis developed by Braun and Clarke (2006) to examine the quality and thematic patterns of the arguments. The findings indicate that Indonesian and Chinese students’ English argumentative essays demonstrated varying levels of argument quality, from weak to strong. Regarding gender, the results show that both male and female students from the Indonesian and Chinese groups produced comparable argument structures, suggesting no substantial gender-based differences in the construction of arguments. The pedagogical implications of this study provide insights for TESOL practitioners, learners of English as a foreign language, policymakers, and linguists by emphasizing the importance of developing students’ awareness of argumentative structures and strengthening their ability to evaluate the quality of arguments in English argumentative writing.  Abstrak Meskipun banyak sekali penelitian telah dilaksanakan untuk mengkaji tulisan argumentatif dari berbagai sudut pandang, bagaimana argumen dalam esai argumentatif bahasa Inggris mahasiswa Indonesia dan Tiongkok dari sudut pandang kualitas dan gender masih kurang dipelajari. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kekosongan tersebut. Korpus penelitian ini terdiri dari 20 esai argumentatif dengan topik yang sama, yakni non-merokok dan dipecah menjadi dua kelompok berdasarkan kewarganegaraan mahasiswa, seperti Indonesia (IDN) dan Tiongkok (CHN). Korpus ini dikumpulkan secara terpilih melalui analisis dokumen dari situs web International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE) sebagai basis korpus dan dianalisis dengan Evaluasi Kualitas Argumentasi (Erduran et al., 2004) dan Analisis Tematik (Braun dan Clarke, 2006). Temuan mengungkapkan bahwa esai argumentatif bahasa Inggris mahasiswa Indonesia dan Tiongkok menunjukkan kualitas argumen yang lemah dan kuat. Terkait gender, temuan menguraikan struktur argumen yang sama yang dihasilkan oleh mahasiswa dan mahasiswi Indonesia dan Tiongkok. Implikasi pedagogis dari penelitian ini menawarkan informasi praktis bagi praktisi TESOL, mahasiswa bukan penutur asli bahasa Inggris, pembuat kebijakan dan linguis tentang pentingnya mengadaptasi kesadaran mahasiswa terhadap skema argumentatif dan evaluasi kualitas argumentasi saat menyusun esai argumentatif bahasa Inggris.
