Abstract

This paper aims at portraying Indonesian tertiary students’ attitudes towards the use of local and target culture reading texts in English reading classes with regard to today’s role of English. It has been widely recognized that today’s role of English is as an international language (EIL) and as a lingua franca (ELF). Regarding this international role of English language, ideally teaching and learning English should be matched with appropriate pedagogical approach, in this case, EIL pedagogy approaches. In other words, teaching and learning EIL should be different from teaching and learning of any other second or foreign languages. Since Indonesia is categorized as an EFL country, it is interesting to find out whether this issue has an impact on ELT practices such as English reading class in this country. The subjects of the study are first year English Education Department students. The data were gained by delivering Likert scale questionnaire to the students on their attitude towards the reading materials given to them in one semester. In addition to this, an interview was conducted to verify the data and gain further information. The findings revealed that in general they show positive attitude to both local culture and target culture reading materials, with the majority of them prefer reading target culture reading materials. Furthermore, a considerable number of the students also acknowledge the importance of the use international culture along with English language teaching.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges that six pre-service EFL teachers of a Bachelor ofEducation (Sarjana Pendidikan) program experienced in conducting field practicum. This studyemploys a qualitative research design, with a phenomenological approach. Data was gatheredthrough in-depth interviews. The interview data was then scrutinized and codified, respectiveto emergent themes through thematic analysis procedures (Merriam, 1988 in Emilia, 2007,p. 84). The findings showed that the pre-service teachers experienced challenges related tolesson preparation, classroom management, and communication breakdown within their fieldpracticum. The study concludes with a recommendation and justification for teacher preparationprograms to provide pre-service teachers with: robust theoretical frameworks in order to designinstruction; practical experience in classroom management; profound knowledge of Englishlanguage; and activities that develop strong confidence in teaching. In addition, teacherpreparation programs are endorsed to formally inform mentor teachers regarding their rolesand responsibilities in the practicum.Keywords: Pre-service teachers, teacher preparation programs, field practicum

Abstract: This paper investigates how mentor coaching, which is intended to prepare preserviceteachers of English as a Foreign Language in facing their teaching practices, help themdesign lesson plans. A lesson plan, as Farrell (2002) stated, is a collection or a summary of ateacher’s thoughts about what will be covered during a lesson. This means that before comingto the teaching process, a teacher should prepare systematic steps to be conducted in a class inorder to reach the objective of a lesson. However, most pre-service teachers are confused withthe designing process of lesson plan that is how to articulate the government curriculum intooperational details. For example, they do not know which activities to include in the lessonplan, and they do not understand how to determine indicators or “enabling objectives” (Brown,2007) for assessing students’ achievement in the lesson. Therefore, mentor coaching is seen asone of alternatives in helping pre-service teachers. Mentor coaching, as Nolan (2007, cited inZepeda, 2012, p. 165) said, is a “structured process whereby an experienced person introduces,assists, and supports a less-experienced person (the protege) in a personal and professionalgrowth process.” In the context of this study, the experienced person refers to the teacher/thelecturer in the class and the less-experienced person in this context refers to the pre-serviceteachers or student teachers. This study used action research as the method. Furthermore, thedata were obtained by distributing questionnaire and collecting pre-service teachers’ lessonplans as well as conducting an interview. In addition, after having designed a lesson plan withmentor coaching technique, the pre-service teachers were asked to reflect the process in orderto gain their perception about the mentor coaching technique. It is important to find whatthey think and feel about this mentor coaching process because it is expected that this type ofcoaching will be useful in helping pre-service teachers to write an effective lesson plan.

Abstract: An advertisement has never been departed from an ideology. Although it occurs implicitly, an ideology in an advertisement is able to make someone believe in particular value of life. This study tries to reveal the ideology both in positive meaning as a belief system which marks certain group and in negative meaning as a false consciousness. Besides that, this study also tries to reveal the way of illustrating the ideology that lies within the Axe Chocolate advertisement. In order to obtain the ideology, each scene in the Axe Chocolate advertisement is analyzed based on Barthes’ model of sign. Then, to find the way of illustrating the ideology, the connotative meaning of mass media codes applied in the advertisement, i.e. fashion codes, color codes, non-verbal codes and technical codes is analyzed. The result of this study shows that masculinity appears as the negative and positive ideology because masculinity is not contradictory with Indonesian culture. However, the value of masculinity shown by the advertiser is narrowed down into the area of sexuality only. In addition to this, the way of illustrating the ideology of masculinity in sexuality area also gives negative stereotype to women, for instance by showing women as figures who like to advertise their body through wearing fashion which exposes women’s body.   Keywords: ideology, advertisement, semiotics, mass media codes

Abstract

As an important part of teacher professional development, a reflective practice started to flourish in the 1980s. Along with it, many scholars have researched reflective practice in various fields, one of which is English Language Teaching. The present study explores reflective practice by teacher educators in a doctoral program, focusing on how they reflect on the journey of planning their lessons ranging from their earliest teaching years up to their future hope. Narrative inquiry with a multiple case study design is employed in this study. The data in this study, which included both narrative and non-narrative data, are collected by using narrative frames and interviews. The data are then coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study show how learning from experience in lesson planning helps teacher educators improve their teaching performance.

Abstract

Learner autonomy is required when studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL). In fact, teacher-centered learning is still dominating the learning activity, where the students still depend on the teacher as the source of knowledge in the classroom, including in Indonesian context. Unfortunately, the world is now facing serious pandemic COVID-19 which has caused the teachers not able to do the teaching and learning process conventionally. This research sought two senior high school teachers in Lampung. In this study, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used as instruments. This qualitative research aimed to describe the EFL teachers’ perceptions and strategies to foster learners’ autonomy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both EFL teachers agreed that autonomy meant that students could choose how they learned and be in charge of their own learning. The EFL teachers fostered learner autonomy by using some strategies such as assigning e-diaries, asking for a presentation based on certain tasks, and allowing students using educational apps as it is one of a tool to reach students’ learner autonomy. The result showed that teachers had positive perspectives and the eagerness to foster learner autonomy. Furthermore, the teachers’ strategies affect positive responses for their students during online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

In English Language Teaching, reflective practice is a significant pedagogical approach for teacher professional development. This study aims to find out the comprehension of six Professional EFL Teachers in West Java, Indonesia. The research addressed two research questions: (1) how the participants define reflective practice; and (2) how they practice their reflection. The researcher applied a case study using semi-structured interviews, observation and document analysis to collect the data, which then was analyzed thematically. The participants of this study were six professional English teachers who has passed the Teacher professional education program (PPG) and has been teaching more than 10 years. According to the findings, the participants view reflective practice as a method of evaluation and introspection which positively contribute to their professional development. The participants depend heavily on student feedback and peer observation as the primary technique for putting reflective practice into action. It leads to the notion that their comprehension of reflective practice is neither complete nor exhaustive. To improve their understanding of reflective practice, higher education can provide continuing assistance and direction to EFL teachers with mentorship programs, collaborative peer work, and training sessions in which experts in reflective practice guide them toward becoming reflective practitioners.

Abstract

The research explored the designed-in scaffolding features implemented by the teacher in the English as a foreign language (EFL) young learner classroom to support young learners in creating multimodal texts. The research used scaffolding theory proposed by Hammond and Gibbons (2005) which categorized scaffolding into two fragments: designed-in and interactional scaffolding. The research was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Bandung. It involved one teacher who taught 18 students in 4th grade. The data were gained from classroom observation and teacher’s lesson plans. The findings revealed that the features of designed-in scaffolding were employed by the teacher in planning and implementing the lesson in the classroom. This research also found that following the designed-in scaffolding features could lead the teacher to structure and provide activities, tasks, and multimodal exposures for the students to be familiar with the multimodal texts. Hence, this research resulted in the pedagogical implication to encourage the teacher to be aware of scaffolding. If the teacher could provide an appropriate scaffolding, the students could gain the assistances, supports, and multimodal exposure for young learners to learn and create multimodal texts.

Abstract

It has been two years since the Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia mandated an Emancipated curriculum to foster independent learning after the COVID-19 pandemic. All of the aspects and policies in school need to adapt to the new version of the learning and teaching process. The use of Project-based learning in this era is imperative things which can help students and teachers be more interactive in dealing with global skills. This approach can guide the teachers more easily understand the topic by using projects that relate to their workplace. This research is designed to investigate the teachers' views on practicing project-based learning in classroom activities. This case study used document analysis in the form of a lesson plan to check their understanding of project-based learning. The semi-structured interviews were also held to collect deep data analysis with two teachers at the secondary level who had already implemented project-based learning during the learning process. The findings showed that project-based learning can assist the teacher in developing an engaging and collaborative classroom that supports both the teachers' and students' capacity for critical Thinking. Interestingly, the study revealed that the teachers realized that the challenges in applying Project-based learning might derive from the number of meetings in one project.
