Abstract

The utilisation of technology in assessing speaking tests is not a novel concept. Conducting an analysis of the washback effect should be done following the implementation of the assessment. This research study aimed at finding the washback effects of the use of the Google Meet automatic caption feature in assessing students’ pronunciation skill. A mixed-method was employed with the embedded case study as the research design. The instrument was a survey questionnaire designed with a four-point Likert scale. It was distributed to 63 students in English subject from the first semester of Management study program in Universitas Tidar, Magelang which were selected using the purposive sampling. A descriptive statistics analysis was used to analyze the results of the questionnaire. To strengthen the data, a semi-structured interview was conducted to gain more accurate descriptive data. It was found that there are three pedagogical dimensions of washback effects: students’ attitudes, motivation, and pronunciation awareness. Based on these results, further research on the feature’s accurateness in captioning is highly suggested.

Abstract

A curriculum comprises objectives, materials, and content that are required to be studied in an academic institution in order to accomplish educational aims. As of now, the Merdeka Curriculum stands as the most recent educational framework with the potential to enhance the standard of instruction for children across the nation in Indonesia. However, optimal implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has not yet occurred, particularly in early childhood education. The objective of this community service endeavor is to furnish early childhood teachers in Gunungpring, Magelang, with Merdeka Curriculum Training and its Practical Implementation. This activity was implemented through observation, implementation which consisted of training and mentorship, and evaluation. There were around 20 teachers from 10 schools who participated in this activity. It was done in the village hall of Gunungpring. The result of this activity was that the teachers’ skills and knowledge were enhanced in the Merdeka Curriculum for early childhood education. They claimed that the training and mentoring was successfully done to help them in increasing their knowledge of how the Merdeka Curriculum should be implemented. In addition, the teacher successfully developed Merdeka Curriculum-based Teaching Modules as the utilization of the results. They could manage to create modules which still focused on children playing and learning based on Merdeka Curriculum. The next step is to work with the local Education Department to offer additional training, particularly focusing on early childhood level. Additionally, the team intends to offer training in multimodal literacy. In the future, teachers will have additional references to improve their learning preparation.

Abstract

The rapid enhancement of technology has made it possible to integrate technology and L2 pronunciation assessment. While the investigation of L2 pronunciation was considered vital in English Language Teaching, assessing pronunciation is granted the least attention. This study attempts to discuss the roles and impacts of O’Speak version 1.0 as an automated pronunciation tool and compare it with human ratings while assessing L2 segmental pronunciation features uttered by Indonesian learners of English. This study aims to pilot an android-based pronunciation test, namely, O’Speak, which was developed using Feuerstein’s Mediated Learning Experience principles. Performed under a quasi-experimental research design, this study ran an independent two-sample t-test involving 50 participants. The study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between O’Speak and human ratings in the segmental pronunciation assessment. This indicates that a new tool functions equally with the ability that human rating has. During the study, this study identified some caveats shown by the human rating that leads to its ability to be equal to O’Speak, and these include teaching experience, hallo effect, and rating experience.
