Abstract

The issue of plagiarism and EFL students’ difficulties in writing course appeared to be still the challenging task for teachers. Various efforts in order to increase students’ competence in producing a decent writing production are still fascinating until the present time. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine whether the use of Technology-Enhance Paraphrasing Tool (TEPT) can improve EFL students’ writing performance. Additionally, the way the students react emotionally towards the use of TEPT in writing class, especially in paraphrasing activities was also measured to by the use of Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) questionnaire.

Abstract

There is convincing evidence of the potential advantages of peer assessment; however, earlier studies on peer assessment in the learning process have largely focused on students’ views on it. Although much can be inferred from the students’ views about peer assessment in the learning process, there is a limited empirical study on the practical use of peer assessment by teachers and their responses. This study attempts to offer salient information for educational institutions, especially on the importance of peer assessment as a part of their instructional design for novice EFL teachers. This qualitative study aims to investigate Indonesian novice EFL teachers’ perceptions of the use of peer assessment in a speaking class as well as its’ benefits and challenges. The data was obtained from six Indonesian novice EFL teachers through a semi-structured interview. Findings revealed the two groups of teachers’ different perceptions, benefits, and challenges of peer assessment which were affected by their understanding of peer assessment and undergraduate study experiences. Hence, educational institutions for pre-service EFL teachers should take peer assessment into account to be integrated into their instructional designs to enable them to experience and perceive peer assessment as a valuable alternative way of language assessment.

Abstract

This study examines the duration of adult EFL learners’ extramural English activities related to their phonological awareness. For this purpose, (Indonesian, N = 32, 3 males and 29 females) learners participated in the study. After analyzing the questionnaires and the phonological awareness test using the non-parametric (Spearman) correlation, the result showed a strong positive correlation between the amount of time the adult EFL learners spend for spoken and written extramural English activities and their phonological awareness ability. The extramural English activities they mainly engage in are dealing with technology. The findings call for future research examining the effect of extramural English on phonological awareness and other possible English components or skills.

Abstract

Since assessment is an essential component of education, various assessments, both short-term and long-term, can be used throughout or at the end of the learning process. Among these, alternative assessment becomes prominent to be applied. This study reveals the teachers’ views and experiences, the potential advantages, and challenges of implementing alternative assessment in primary international schools. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaire from international primary school teachers that have experienced more than 10 years. This study discovered four notable benefits and three notable challenges that have been deduced from the current theoretical framework. The benefits can be classified into four main categories: enhancing students' performance, catering to different learning styles and preferences, emphasizing process-oriented learning, and promoting motivation. The three obstacles are to the issues of subjectivity and trustworthiness, time limitations, and the selection of the suitable methodology. Alternative assessment is crucial as it offers a valuable opportunity to improve students' learning and should be implemented to allow students to strengthen their skills. Hence, it is imperative for EFL teachers to regard alternative assessment as a viable option for classroom assessment.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning is an educational process that enables students to self-regulate when determining ideas or concepts and evolving their learning strategies to accomplish attainable outcomes. The present study investigated self-regulated learning strategies undergraduate English department students used and examined the significant relationship with students' grammar achievement. The researchers conducted a quantitative correlational design on 70 undergraduate English department students. The researchers collected the data through a self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire and students' grammar scores. The first result showed that the peer learning strategy was the dominant strategy used by students with the highest average score (M= 3.48, SD= 1.14), and the less dominant strategy with the lowest average score is time and study environment (M= 3.03, SD= 0.99). This study applied descriptive statistics using the SPSS program to describe the first research problem. The second result was analyzed using Pearson correlation, indicating a low negative correlation between self-regulated learning strategies and students' grammar achievement. Thus, this study concluded that the higher the grammar achievement students' got, the less self-regulated learning strategies they used, and the less grammar achievement students' got, the more learning strategies they used.

Abstract

The fact that teaching English in Indonesia is still driven by textbooks makes not many students have the ability to communicate in English and even they often experience mispronunciation. This study was conducted to find out how to teach allomorphs as a provision to strengthen knowledge of English pronunciation. In addition, this study also seeks to reveal how the challenges faced by EFL teachers in the Allomorph learning process. There are 3 stages that the teacher can do to teach allomorphs through narrative texts; introduction to phonetic symbols, reading the text, and analyzing and practicing the types of allomorphs. From the use of the selected narrative text, it reveals 3 types of allomorphs from 4 types that have been introduced to students in the form of past tense, plural number, and regular possessive. Some of the challenges and problems faced by EFL teachers in teaching English pronunciation, especially allomorphs, is the lack of student motivation to learn. In addition, EFL teachers still hold on to the old philosophy about the lack of importance of learning pronunciation, making this teaching even more difficult. The lack of class hours and the large number of students in EFL classes are also challenges for teachers.
