Abstract

The objective of this research was to describe the implementation of TPACK framework in the Ruangguru as English online course. Descriptive qualitative was used to conduct this research. We used observation to gather our data by observing the features and the learning process in the Ruangguru including what contents are inside, what technology or media used, what methods used to deliver the material and how they related one to each other. Based on the entire result, we found that the implementation of TPACK framework in the Ruangguru looks quite appropriate based on the existing principles. Both the observation result and the questionnaire responses showed the existence of the TPACK principles in the Ruangguru even though there are some categories that still did not seem appropriate, such as the single use of lecturing method in each lesson, and the absence of practice skills. However, it was only a small part that did not match one among many TPACK principles implemented in the Ruangguru. Overall, TPACK was implemented in the Ruangguru, but there is still a big room for improvement in the future due to the frequent updates on the system and increasing additional new features.

Abstract

Test item analysis in language learning plays a crucial role in ensuring that the test can be an effective assessment tool in the learning process. It is a quantitative study that aimed to analyze Multiple Choice Questions of reading sections in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) subject for non-English majors to find out the Discrimination Index (DI), Difficulty Index (DIF), and Distractor Efficiency (DE). The participants of this study were first-year students majoring in the civil engineering program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Researchers collected the primary data from the answer sheets of the reading section. The data analysis was conducted by using Microsoft Excel and uploaded to Anates. It quickly gave the result of all the calculations of DI, DIF, and DE. The findings revealed the DI and DIF of this test were not good because most of the results were poor DI and too easy DIF, which meant that most test items needed modifications and distractors. Most distractors used in this test were not functional and must be removed, changed, or modified.

Abstract

Learning English is very important in the era of globalisation, especially for non-native speakers who want to master English language skills. In the field of education, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is becoming increasingly important as it is considered an essential skill. Along with the increasing need for English in educational institutions, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is used to measure students' abilities and identify areas that need improvement. This study aims to investigate students' English proficiency using Rasch Model analysis on the TOEFL ITP test. This study used a quantitative approach with data analysed using Winstep 3.73 software. The results showed that students were successful in answering long logical inference questions and short dialogue restatements on listening comprehension, as well as clause questions on written structures & expressions. On reading comprehension, students successfully answered reference questions, vocabulary in context, unstated details, and implied details. This study also found that all subtests on the TOEFL ITP have good reliability and suitability. In conclusion, Rasch Model analysis is effective in identifying the types of TOEFL questions that affect student success, as well as ensuring that the subtests used are reliable and appropriate for the measurement of English language skills.

Abstract

High interest of Bandar Lampung citizen in mastering English communication has made many English learning centers appearing with various methods and learning approaches. One of the approaches used by those centers in teaching English is that students learn English using the cultures of countries where the English language comes from. However, in the Indonesian context, English learning materials are spread within various cultures types, information, senses, and elements. This fact urges this study to analyze the cultural contents of four textbooks of four different high schools in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia in order to map how cultures play role in Indonesian ELT context especially ELT in Bandar Lampung. The data gathering techniques used are Interview, Questionnaire, and Senior High School English textbooks analysis. The results conclude that target cultures, contextual writing tasks, aesthetic sense and products (Silvia, 2014&Adaskou et.al., 1990) dominate the English textbooks so that this finding represents the culture involvement in English language teaching of senior high schools in Bandar Lampung context.Keywords: English Language, local culture, a learning method

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of reading motivation, dictation, vocabulary, and socioeconomic status on students’ reading comprehension. A quantitative research methodology was employed, with data collected over four sessions involving tenth-grade students from SMA Yadika Bandar Lampung. The data were gathered through multiple - choice tests, questionnaires, and dictation assessments. The results demonstrated a strong positive correlation between decoding skills and vocabulary in relation to reading comprehension. Statistically significant p-values of 0.000 were found for the relationships between decoding and English reading comprehension (DEC->ERC), decoding and vocabulary (DEC-> VOC), vocabulary and reading comprehension (VOC - >ERC), as well as the combined effects of dictation and vocabulary on English reading comprehension (DEC - >VOC - >ERC). The findings highlight that both dictation skills and vocabulary development play a crucial role in enhancing reading comprehension. In contrast, the study found no significant relationship reading motivation or socioeconomic status and reading comprehension. The correlations betw een extrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (EM->ERC), intrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (IM->ERC), and family income and English reading comprehension (INC->ERC) were not statistically significant. These results suggest that while dictation and vocabulary skills are essential for reading comprehension, factors such as reading motivation and socioeconomic status did not exert a significant influence in the study. The findings underscore the importance of focusing on vocabulary and dictation skills to improve students’ reading comprehension, suggesting that targeted educational interventions in these areas could lead to enhanced academic performance for all students. HIGHLIGHTS: Impact of Decoding Skills and Vocabulary on Reading Comprehension: The study shows a strong link between students' decoding skills and vocabulary knowledge, which both greatly improve reading comprehension. Decoding directly helps build vocabulary, which then supports reading comprehension. Vocabulary alone accounts for 75.2% of the differences in reading comprehension, emphasizing its key role. Limited Influence of Socioeconomic and Motivational Factors: Unlike some past studies, this research found that socioeconomic status, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation have little to no impact on reading comprehension. This suggests that cognitive skills, like decoding and vocabulary, are more important for students' reading abilities than socioeconomic or motivational factors. Educational Implications for Curriculum Development: The findings highlight the need to focus on cognitive skills, especially vocabulary and decoding, in reading instruction. Prioritizing these core skills can help educational programs improve students' reading comprehension and close literacy gaps across diverse groups.

Abstract

This research investigates the motivational factors influencing English reading comprehension among 101 grade 12 students, utilizing Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self-System (L2MSS) to analyze the roles of Ideal L2 Self (ILS), Ought-to L2 Self (OLS), and Learning Experience (LE). The study employed a quantitative correlational design. Data were gathered via a motivation survey and the Quick Placement Test (QPT), then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the Rasch Model to verify construct validity and test the hypothesized relationships. Findings indicate that ILS has a beneficial effect on LE, yet shows a negative correlation with reading comprehension, implying that idealized self-perceptions might obstruct performance. OLS exert a beneficial effect on both LE and Reading comprehension, underscoring the importance of balancing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. LE shows a strong correlation with ILS and OLS, yet it does not directly influence reading comprehension, suggesting that other elements might be involved. Results emphasize the complex nature of motivation in reading comprehension and the significance of nurturing educational settings that align students’ objectives with attainable results.

Abstract

Metacognitive awareness is widely recognized as an important factor influencing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading comprehension. However, evidence regarding the contributions of its components remains inconclusive, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study examined the relationship between metacognitive awareness and EFL reading comprehension among Indonesian high school students and investigated gender differences in metacognitive awareness. A total of 72 students (42 males and 30 females) participated in the study. Data were collected using the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) and a reading comprehension test. The Rasch model implemented in the Quest program was used to analyze item difficulty, and One-Way MANOVA was used to examine gender differences. To investigate the structural relationships between metacognitive awareness dimensions and reading comprehension, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed. PLS-SEM was selected because it is suitable for exploratory models and can accommodate relatively small samples when model complexity is limited; however, the sample size remains a limitation of the study. The Rasch analysis revealed that items requiring inference of unstated information were the most difficult, whereas vocabulary inference based on contextual clues was the easiest. MANOVA results indicated that female students demonstrated higher levels of metacognitive awareness than male students. The PLS-SEM analysis showed that metacognitive regulation was not significantly associated with reading comprehension. In contrast, metacognitive knowledge exhibited a stronger positive relationship with reading comprehension, suggesting that students’ awareness of their cognitive processes contributes more substantially to reading performance than their regulatory strategies. Although metacognitive regulation did not significantly predict reading performance, metacognitive knowledge emerged as a more meaningful contributor. These results suggest that EFL instruction should place greater emphasis on fostering students’ metacognitive knowledge to enhance reading comprehension. Future research should employ larger and more diverse samples to improve the generalizability of the findings. Keywords: EFL learners, gender differences, metacognitive awareness, metacognitive knowledge, reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of speed-reading instruction employing authentic technology-themed text adopted from BreakingNewsEnglish.com in enhancing eleventh-graders’ vocational high reading skills, focusing on reading fluency and reading comprehension. This study implemented a quantitative quasi-experimental design conducting a non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test format. There were 48 Pringsewu vocational eleventh-grade students participated in this research, assigned into an experimental group and a control group. The descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test were used to analyze the data collected. Findings in reading comprehension revealed a significant difference in reading comprehension, with the experimental group achieving greater scores compared to the control group. However, the control group demonstrated statistically higher reading speed scores rather than the experimental group. These results indicate that speed-reading instruction supported deeper comprehension but did not result in higher reading speed. The study concludes that speed-reading instruction is most effective when combined with comprehension-focused scaffolding and authentic digital materials. The findings highlight the interdependent connection between reading fluency and reading comprehension and emphasize the importance of balancing reading speed with meaningful understanding in vocational high school contexts.
