Abstract

This research aims to analyze students' perceptions on the use of Google Translate in Translation class, which can provide new insights into how technology can affect students' learning experience and to identify the common problems encountered by students in using Google Translate. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative research approach. The researcher used 35 university students from the English Education Department using a questionnaire. Additionally, to delve deeper into the common problems encountered by students when using Google Translate, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with five students. Based on the data analysis, EFL students have a positive perception of the use of Google Translate in translation classes, finding it easy to use and helpful. Moreover, the common problems encountered when using Google Translate in translation classes include errors in sentences, the need for carefulness, and EFL students' continued reliance on Google Translate to translate quickly and complete their tasks. This poses a serious challenge for students in developing their translation skills independently.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of anxiety on English language learning achievements among high school students. It identifies anxiety as a significant emotional condition that can either hinder or motivate language acquisition. The study focuses on 11th-grade students at SMAN 106 Jakarta and examines various factors contributing to anxiety, including internal elements such as perception, personality, and intelligence, as well as external factors like motivation, classroom environment, and cognitive characteristics. The research highlights that anxiety can lead to feelings of restlessness, frustration, self-doubt, and tension. This emotional state often results in fear of negative evaluation, nervousness about making mistakes, and concerns about others' language abilities. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research approach, the study employs questionnaires and in-depth interviews to collect data from students. Findings suggest that anxiety is a multifaceted issue, with students experiencing anxiety due to a range of factors including fear of criticism, judgment, and low grades. The research aims to provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by high school students and emphasize the need for tailored interventions and support mechanisms to help manage and alleviate anxiety. This understanding is intended to assist both teachers and students in addressing and overcoming the barriers posed by anxiety in language learning.

Abstract

This training aims to enhance the creativity of English language teachers in teaching speaking skills through approaches based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), as well as the utilization of available technology. The activity was conducted over two days with lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice sessions. The first day focused on theory and discussions regarding creative and relevant speaking teaching techniques, while the second day provided participants with the opportunity to practice the speaking activities they had designed. The results of the training showed a significant improvement in teachers' creativity in designing more varied and engaging speaking activities. Participants also realized that creativity in teaching does not always depend on advanced technology but can be maximized by utilizing available resources in the school environment. Additionally, they gained important insights on how to overcome resource limitations with creative ideas that can be applied in their classrooms. However, some challenges were identified, particularly in the application of technology and the adaptation of new methods in diverse classroom contexts. This training is expected to contribute to the development of more creative and effective English language teaching.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of implementing the project values of strengthening the Pancasila student profile in one of the private high schools in Jakarta. The method used is observation, namely through direct observation of the research object accompanied by interviews to collect data more comprehensively. The results of the study show that the values of the Pancasila student profile have been implemented intensively at SMA Muhammadiyah 18 Jakarta. The profile of faith, piety to God Almighty and noble character is implemented through the activities of carrying out congregational prayers, reciting and studying the Al Quran. The global diversity profile is implemented through discussions and studies of various foreign cultures. The mutual cooperation profile is implemented through community service activities, group discussions, and the preparation of the OSIS work program. The independent profile is implemented through completing daily assignments, administering exams, and returning and tidying up books in the library. The creative profile is implemented by cultivating students to create new things, carrying out entrepreneurial activities in the form of selling cakes during recess, turning used goods into art, and helping UMKM part time. Critical reasoning is implemented through activities to accustom students to asking questions in class, discussing, giving arguments on the problems posed, criticizing and respecting differences of opinion. The results of this study can be used as a model in implementing Pancasila student profiles in high school.

Abstract

This article represents the writers’ independent perspectives regarding the conversion of John Dewey’s ideas about education as a social function. As is recognized, Dewey’s philosophical vision of education has been embraced by educational authorities in numerous countries, and his ideas remain pertinent in the contemporary era, where the intricacies of societal challenges converge with the advancement of technology. The world appears to be becoming increasingly interconnected. In the context of EFL, students must be equipped with the tools to effectively process the rapid influx of information and actively engage in societal issues to address challenges. Accordingly, this article aims to translate Dewey’s concept of education as a social function, given that there is still a paucity of literature on this topic, despite the prevalence of studies that indirectly utilize Deweyan ideas, such as collaborative learning. However, no explicit connection is made to Dewey’s ideas in education. This article commences with an examination of Dewey's education as a social function, subsequently extending the analysis to the context of EFL instruction. In this section, the writers propose EFL teaching instructions and activities that align with the tenets of Deweyan philosophy. It is hoped that this article will contribute to the ongoing discourse on the interconnection between EFL and the social function of education and provide insights for EFL educators in the formulation of instructional strategies, given the dual objective of equipping learners with linguistic proficiency and preparing them to take responsible roles within their communities.

Abstract

Critical thinking is widely recognized as a key objective in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction. However, few studies have explored how it is demonstrated in specific academic genres. This study examined how EFL university students expressed critical thinking through the writing of comparison-contrast essays. Guided by Paul and Elder’s (2020) critical thinking framework, the study addressed the question: How do EFL students demonstrate critical thinking in the process of composing comparison-contrast essays? The research took place in an essay writing course at a university in Jakarta, Indonesia, involving 20 fifth-semester English education majors aged 21–23. Data included students’ essays and their written reflections on the writing process. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, applying the elements and intellectual standards of critical thinking to identify patterns of reasoning. The findings showed that students demonstrated critical thinking through analytical categorization, evaluative judgments, integration of perspectives, and logical organization. Reflections revealed deliberate thinking strategies that supported the writing process. The study concludes that comparison-contrast writing, when paired with structured instruction and reflective practice, provides a productive platform for developing critical thinking. These insights contribute to genre-based writing pedagogy and support the integration of critical thinking as a central goal in EFL education
