Abstract

Errors committed by the students while studying English as a foreign language can show the students’ difficulty and be the basis of planning the proper strategy in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, this study aimed at finding out the causes of pronunciation errors in speaking skill committed by EFL learners and discovering the solutions for both students and teachers. It focused on analyzing the causes of pronunciation errors using a diagnosis proposed by Carl James. The method used in this study was a case study. Twenty non-majoring English students from International Tourism College got involved as the subject of this research. The data were collected from documentation of speaking diagnostic test results and interviewing the participants based on the test result. The findings reported that there were three causes of pronunciation errors, namely interlingual, intralingual, and communication strategy-based error. For the solution, the learners and teachers are suggested to develop the learning quality by improving the learners’ motivation to use the target language more often everywhere. Hence, this error analysis can be a reference in designing a learning strategy in teaching speaking.

Abstract

Despite several studies on feedback, little is known about the benefits of the student-teacher relationship in providing feedback. This study therefore aimed to investigate the effects of teacher feedback on students' writing performance. The feedback was divided into two formats: Direct Feedback and Indirect Feedback. Students' writing performance in the study refers to the quality of students' writing when composing a descriptive paragraph. In addition, this study also explored the voices of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students after being treated with different feedback modes under specific circumstances of the student-teacher relationship. The study adopted a mixed methods design, using a test, a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire as instruments to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. The study involved 50 secondary school students who were divided into two groups of 25 students each. The results showed that direct feedback stimulated students' writing performance better than indirect feedback. In addition, the feedback treatments could maximize students' writing performance if a good student-teacher relationship was developed in the classroom. This implies that maintaining a good student-teacher relationship in the EFL classroom is beneficial.

Abstract

The current study examined students perspectives on the use of one of the regional learning management systems (LMS), E-Belajar (hereafter EB), at two Islamic boarding schools in Aceh, Indonesia. Fifty EFL Islamic boarding school students agreed to participate in this study. This study used a mixed method design, combining surveys and interviews. The data from the questionnaire was analysed quantitatively. Meanwhile, thematic analysis was performed on the interview data. The results revealed both good and negative attitudes of EB in ELT. Positive replies indicate that EB improved English comprehension and promoted autonomous learning, assisted students in completing English tasks on time by using the alert feature as a reminder, developed enjoyable and engaging learning activities using videos and online games, and encouraged students confidence in expressing ideas. However, negative voices highlighted the teachers failure to advise students on how to use EB properly, resulting in incorrect task submission. Students also preferred in person learning, and students had trouble communicating effectively. Students further pointed out that EB did not enhance listening skill, reading skill, speaking skill, writing skill, or grammar understanding significantly; only few students believed that EB helped promote English language skills, indicating that further efforts through EB was required. Students were also unable to access certain EB services, such as e-counselling and e-monitoring. Furthermore, dormitories have limited access to the internet. These circumstances became another drawback for students.

Abstract

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in writing instructions may lead to an ongoing debate among scholars. However, the rapid development of technologies of AI technologies cannot be avoided in daily lives, including written language productions. This paper, then, tries to highlight two cases: the impacts of AI and process-based approach on students’ writing competencies and what students perceive about the intervention. The study, which involved 27 Indonesian English language majors, used a mixed-methods approach that included both qualitative and quantitative data. The results showed that the integration of AI and a process-based approach significantly improved global, local, and overall issues. Surprisingly, local issues, which include grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics, had the greatest effect of all. In addition, students have a positive perception of AI in writing instruction. For them, AI promotes their autonomy and creativity through the use of ChatGPT and AI-generated feedback such as Deepl and Grammarly. The implications are also presented and discussed.

Abstract

Ruangguru, one of Indonesia's prepaid applications, has facilitated autonomous learning for students. Ruangguru (henceforth RG) is a mobile application enhances online learning organizations by aligning it with Indonesia's curriculum. RG offered students a platform with distinctive characteristics to support online study in several subjects. The present study examines students' viewpoints on using Ruangguru, one of Indonesia's online learning prepaid platforms, and ascertains its advantages and disadvantages. The current study employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing interviews to collect data. The participants comprised senior high school students from several cities in Indonesia who were enrolled in regular classes, subscribed to RG, and willingly provided their consent by signing a consent form. The findings revealed that RG possesses several benefits, including the ability to set one's own pace, user-friendliness, independent learning, and a flexible platform. It allowed pupils to learn without any limitations on time or location. However, the RG was unable to substitute regular classes with the presence of teachers, the decrease of social interactions in learning, the significant disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished, and the diminishing role of teachers. Ruangguru's primary focus is students' academic achievement. Yet, it is crucial to resolve other notable aspects, such as inadequate feedback, teacher guidance, and lack of peer interaction. As a further recommendation, to evaluate the effectiveness of the RG, it is also recommended that students' achievement and the impact of using RG in the EFL classroom be analyzed and cross-referenced.
