Abstract

In Indonesia, where English is learned as a foreign language, speaking is often considered one of the most challenging skills for students to develop. Many students struggle to effectively convey their ideas during speaking activities, frequently feeling uncertain about what to say, which creates a desire for a more engaging and enjoyable learning process. To address this challenge, teachers need to be adept at creating fun and interactive learning experiences, such as utilizing the chain stories technique. The combination of learning techniques with media plays a crucial role in enhancing the speaking-focused English learning experience. This research aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of using chain stories with visual media in speaking activities, based on students' experiences. A descriptive case study method is employed, with four students from an English course in Tasikmalaya participating in semi-structured interviews. Data is analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal three key advantages of the chain stories approach: increased student motivation, enhanced self-confidence, and its suitability as a recommended learning technique for English classes. However, two disadvantages also emerged: technical problems and knowledge-related challenges during implementation. These insights can assist teachers in weighing the benefits and limitations of using chain stories with visual media as a tool to improve students' speaking skills and enhance the overall English teaching and learning process, particularly in speaking-focused activities.

Abstract

In teacher identity studies, limited attention has been generally paid to how the pre-service teachers constructed their identity by conveying various emotions in their practices. Most scholars identified the pre-service teacher's emotions during the teaching practices program. However, identifying these emotions during online teaching practices remains under-researched. Given this fact, this study probed how an English pre-service teacher’s emotions constructed his professional identity during online teaching practices. This study employed a narrative inquiry of an English pre-service teacher during online teaching practices in one of the senior high schools in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. The data were collected from an English pre-service teacher’s reflective journals and analysed with narrative analysis (Labov, 1972). The findings revealed that the English pre-service teacher met various emotions manifested in his professional identity construction. There were five emotions experienced during online teaching practices, namely worrying, challenging, empathetic, enjoyable, and determined explored in seven critical activities of the professional practice process. During learning to teach, he could manage his negative emotions (i.e., worrying, challenging, empathetic) into positive emotions (i.e., enjoyable, determined). Therefore, his emotions experienced during online teaching practices implied that his professional identity commenced constructing in the seven activities of his professional construction process.

Abstract

Pronunciation has regained its existence in the investigative attempts in the areas of TESOL, Sociolinguistics, and Intercultural Communication. This burgeoning growth has proven the importance of pronunciation teaching and learning, notable in this technology-based language learning era. However, little attention has been given to the description of how the participant learned English pronunciation through internet-based video lessons (IBVL). Hence, this study addressed the void. Avril (a senior high school student in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia) was recruited as the investigative participant. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with Thematic Analysis. The findings reported that she learned English pronunciation by imitating the English tutor of the MmmEnglish channel. She learned by applying three main stages, namely listening and reading, listening and repeating, and shadowing.

Abstract

Countless studies have examined the vital role of ELT textbooks as learning sources, particularly in terms of intercultural, multicultural, and trans-cultural analysis. Yet, none of them specifically talked about religious values as the research focus. Hence, this study aimed at construing religious values represented in a selected chapter of an Indonesian ELT textbook. Descriptive problem-driven content analysis was used as the research design, whilst the research data were collected through document analysis. Later, to analyze the data, the research utilized Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) (O’Halloran, 2008c) as the framework with a focus on representational meaning and transitivity analysis for each visual and textual data. The findings showed that two data modes represent religiosity, namely visual and verbal data. In visual, religious values (artifacts, beliefs, and behaviors) are represented by the classificational process while in verbal data; they are represented by the material and relational processes. Four of Indonesia's large recognized religious communities were represented namely Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Yet, there is no single datum that figures Islamic values, whereas, the Islamic community is the largest in the country and even in the world. Hence, this implication suggests that stakeholders (particularly textbook authors) should pay attention to the issue of how to fairly present the five legalized communities' values existing in Indonesia. Therefore, because Indonesia has varied its communities, ethnicities, and backgrounds, ELT textbooks should fairly embody the diversities more over the religious aspects which are the core competence to gain.

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the self-efficacy of EFL students regarding their use of the QuillBot paraphrasing tool in academic writing. A qualitative research method was employed, and data were gathered through interviews. The participants consisted of four EFL students who were currently in the process of writing their theses and utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool. Data analysis was conducted using NVIVO thematic analysis.The findings indicated that EFL students' self-efficacy in utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool was not satisfactory. This lack of self-efficacy was influenced by various factors, including behavioral, social, and personal aspects. Among these factors, behavioral elements had the most significant impact as they directly affected the students' competence in academic writing. The participants' belief in their own academic writing abilities was undermined by behavioral factors, as they experienced difficulties in vocabulary and grammar usage. Furthermore, the study revealed that the social environment played a crucial role in enhancing EFL students' self-efficacy. Specifically, the support and encouragement received from lecturers and classmates positively influenced the participants' self-belief and confidence in utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool. In conclusion, this research suggests that EFL students' self-efficacy in using the QuillBot paraphrasing tool for academic writing can be improved by addressing behavioral challenges and fostering a supportive social environment.

Abstract

In recent decades, multimodality has played pivotal roles in communication and language pedagogy. Conversely, limited studies have emphasized how intersemiosis is represented in English Language Teaching textbooks (hereafter, ELT textbooks), notably in the Indonesian EFL context. To fill this gap, this study examined how intersemiosis contribute to the process of meaning-making in an Indonesian ELT textbook. A selected chapter containing rich verbal and visual relations was selected as a corpus. The corpus was analyzed through Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SFMDA). The findings revealed that the contributions of intersemiosis were represented by the meaning-making process in verbal and visual texts. This relationship enables students to comprehend the messages communicated by the texts. Pedagogically speaking, the effective design of intersemiosis in an ELT textbook potentially helps students not only understand the delivered teaching materials but also sharpen their multimodal literacy

Abstract

Indonesia’s literacy rate is low, ranking 61st in the PISA survey, 60th in the OECD’s 2016 survey, and 45th in PIRLS 2011. To address this, a Merdeka Belajar curriculum focusing on literacy activities is being implemented. Thus, it is necessary to conduct research related to teachers’ and students’ perspectives of literacy through reading activities in emancipated learning because it can reflect how they understand and experience it. The qualitative case study is used as the research method and involved an English teacher and a 7th-grade student in a junior high school in Tasikmalaya. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke (2006) thematic analysis approach. The findings indicate that teachers perceive literacy in English learning as multifaceted, emphasizing reading and writing activities to enhance knowledge. They advocate for literacy skills development through diverse activities, promote independent learning strategies, and employ multimodal approaches, aligning their practices with the principles of the Emancipated Curriculum to empower students. Therefore, further research should explore the impact of English reading literacy activities on students’; English language skills, specifically the four skills, using a quantitative experimental approach to investigate the effects of literacy through reading activities.
