Abstract

The Indonesian government has issued new rules to prepare pre-service teachers to be professional teachers in the future by asking them to attend additional education named Teachers Professional Education Program (locally known as Pendidikan Profesi Guru, henceforth PPG). This case study aimed to identify the obstacles experienced by pre-service English teachers in FKIP Universitas Riau during the PPG program and the Teaching Practicum (PPL) as a part of the PPG program. This qualitative research involved 10 alumni of the Subsidized PPG English Education Department. Focus Group Discussion was used to collect data from the participants. The data obtained were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1984) thematic analysis and referred to the three procedures introduced by Flick (2002) i.e., open coding, axial coding and selective coding with the help of the NVivo 12 software. The findings showed seven emerging obstacles faced by the pre service English teachers during PPG. There were one (1) obstacle found at the first-semester theory program in PPG, and six (6) obstacles found at the second-semester practicum program in PPG known as PPL, which can be used as an input for further PPG students to prepare themselves both physically and mentally when participating in PPG as well as that for the development of a better PPG system in the future used by the government.

Additionally, the research finding showed the correlation coefficient of the two variables is 0.480, denoting a positive and moderate correlation. Also, the determinant coefficient is 0.2304, which implies social media activeness has a 23% influence on the students' vocabulary mastery, leaving the other 77% to other factors. Having discovered that there is a moderately significant correlation between social media activeness and vocabulary mastery, it is suggested that the students need to start utilizing their social media well and wisely. Besides providing entertainment, social media can be a great platform for students to improve their English vocabulary mastery.

The study determined that the mean score of the pupil's perceptions of the use of English movies for vocabulary acquisition is 4.0, which falls under the high criteria category. Based on the interview data, the researcher discovered some reactions from the respondents to the application of English movies for vocabulary acquisition. The interview findings indicate that English movies provide students with an opportunity to encounter terms in authentic contexts.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the levels, types, and causes of writing anxiety among third-year students in the English Study Program at FKIP Universitas Riau. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed in this study, utilizing a sample of 72 sixth-semester students chosen through cluster random sampling.. The data were gathered through a questionnaire adapted from Cheng's Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) (2004) and the Causes of Writing Anxiety Inventory (CWAI) created by Rezaei and Jafari (2014). The findings reveal that 37.5% of the students experienced high writing anxiety, 36.1% experienced moderate anxiety, and 26.4% experienced low anxiety. In terms of anxiety type, cognitive anxiety was the most dominant, followed by avoidance behavior and somatic anxiety. Additionally, the research identified linguistic difficulties as the primary cause of writing anxiety, accounting for 16.42%. This suggests that limited vocabulary, sentence structure issues, and grammar mastery are significant barriers for EFL students in academic writing tasks.

Abstract

Code-switching, the practice of alternating between two or more languages within discourse, constitutes a significant pedagogical strategy in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. This study examines the types and pedagogical functions of code-switching employed by English teachers across five junior high schools in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design involving classroom observations, semi-structured teacher interviews, and student questionnaires, the study identifies three types of code-switching: intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag switching. The findings reveal that intra-sentential code-switching was the most frequently employed form. Teachers primarily used code-switching to elucidate difficult concepts, maintain classroom management, and foster interpersonal connections with students. Most students responded favorably, indicating that code-switching enhanced their comprehension and created a more supportive classroom environment. Nevertheless, some students expressed concern that excessive reliance on the first language might hinder their English proficiency. The study concludes that code-switching, when used judiciously, can serve as an effective pedagogical tool that facilitates both cognitive and linguistic development in EFL classrooms.
