Abstract

Effective non-native English teachers (NNETs) are essential to facilitate students to develop their English mastery. However, while students are directly affected by teachers’ instructions, they have been limitedly involved in teacher education and development research. The current study aims to explore the qualities of effective non-native English teachers (NNETs) from students’ perspectives in Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. This study was mixed-method research specifically an explanatory sequential design. In the quantitative phase, 380 students were selected using cluster sampling techniques. Meanwhile, in the qualitative phase, six students were purposely selected based on their English proficiency levels and gender. The instruments used were a questionnaire adapted from Park and Lee (2006) and an interview guide. To analyze the questionnaire data, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed. MANOVA test was run to seek significant differences by students’ gender and English proficiency levels. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were coded to identify the emerging patterns. The results show that the qualities concerning teachers’ socio-affective skills gained the highest mean scores compared to those concerning teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical skills. This study also confirms that there was a significant difference among students in perceiving effective NNETs by English proficiency levels. This study is expected to help various stakeholders to improve pre and in-service EFL teacher education and development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Along with the growing practice of teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in non-English departments of tertiary education, it is essential to investigate the challenges faced by ESP teachers. It can be a basis for proposing policies for the improvement of ESP practice. This study was driven by the fact that ESP classes in non-English departments are allocated limited credit hours, and the teachers are generally General English teachers with no experience and training in teaching ESP. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the fundamental challenges faced by ESP teachers in one state and four private higher education institutions. The data of this qualitative study were obtained through interviews with five ESP teachers. The interview questions were mainly concerned with the knowledgeability and competence in teaching related to subject-specific contexts, adequacy of ESP training, needs analysis, and classroom condition. The findings reveal that the evident challenges encountered by ESP teachers were: lacking knowledge on students’ field of study, lacking of ESP training, lacking of proper needs analysis, large classes, and various learners’ English competencies. The findings of this study suggest that policymakers (stakeholders) should pay more attention to the practice of ESP teaching, especially in non-English departments, by reforming policy in order to minimize the problems faced by ESP teachers and to improve the practice of ESP teaching.

Abstract

This study reports needs analysis results. It aims to analyze students' needs in an effort of developing the learning strategies of direct corrective feedback in an EFL Writing class context. The initial step is to investigate the needs of students in receiving feedback as well as teacher educators' strategies in providing feedback. 39 students and 3 teacher educators are involved in this study. They are from two private universities. The questionnaire, as the main instrument, is in a form of closed-ended for students and closed along with the open questionnaire for teacher educators. The result of the analysis indicates that feedback plays an important role in overcoming students' problems in writing. It reflects that students thoroughly need feedback, either in oral corrective feedback or written corrective feedback. Thus, it concludes that the need for effective feedback must be balanced by the students' efforts to respond to it as a form of the learning process. Both direct and indirect feedback is helpful for students either in oral or written form.

Abstract

Research into language teacher identity construction has proliferated in recent years. However, studies examining identity construction from an integral perspective of EFL teacher educators’ past, present, and future narratives seem sparse. To fill this lacuna, the present study was designed to explore five Indonesian EFL teacher educators’ identity construction from their past, present, and future narratives. This study’s data were generated through multiple life-historical interviews with the five participants. The thematic analysis showcased that language teacher identity is constructed as a continuum from the teachers’ past experiences as EFL learners, present experiences as lecturers and doctoral students, and future narratives as imagined teacher educators. The findings also revealed that the participating teachers constructed their language teacher identity through complex and context-dependent experiences in their past, present, and future narratives. Based on the study’s findings, we offer a novel approach to studying language teacher identity construction employing teachers’ three-dimensional narratives. This approach enables teachers to understand themselves and their relationships with social environments through the interconnectivity of their past, present, and future narratives.

Abstract

Learning is a process in which students experience change. During the learning process, teachers need to empower students to lead them to be independent in learning. Therefore, the present study focused on learner empowerment and academic motivation from the students' perspectives and the probable relationship. The participants were high school students who took English as a compulsory subject and were selected randomly. The researchers conducted mix method in this study. Two kinds of instruments were used as the quantitative data, namely the Academic Motivation Scale and the Learner Empowerment Scale. Meanwhile, open-ended questions were used as the instrument for the qualitative one. The result revealed that students' academic motivation and learner empowerment levels were at the moderate level. Moreover, the findings implied a statistically significant relationship between academic motivation and learner empowerment. Thus, higher motivation and empowerment in learning English are associated with each other. This expected study could explain the relationship between two crucial things in the classroom: motivation and empowerment.

Abstract

A dissertation represents a key academic work produced by doctoral students as a requirement for graduation and the attainment of a doctoral degree. Consequently, doctoral candidates are expected to demonstrate strong and precise dissertation writing skills. This study aims to (1) analyze the rhetorical structures employed in each section of dissertations authored by doctoral students in the Doctoral Program in Language Education, and (2) compare these rhetorical structures with established academic writing conventions. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, adopting the textual organization framework of the Academic Phrasebank by Morley (2014) as the primary guide, supplemented by Santos' (1996) framework for abstract structure. Data collection includes both qualitative and quantitative components. The data analysis is conducted using AntConc 4.0.11, developed by Laurence Anthony from Waseda University, with an emphasis on calculating the frequency of words, phrases, collocations, concordances, and specific expressions within the dissertations. The findings reveal distinctive rhetorical patterns in the abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion sections of the dissertations produced by doctoral students within the field of Language Education.

Abstract

Teacher professional learning (TPL) has been considered a significant need to strengthen teachers’ professional growth, which in turn fosters high-quality teaching and enhances students’ learning experiences. It has become a prominent interest in education around the globe, including in Indonesia. However, little is known about the contribution of a university program, especially a Master's program, towards TPL in the Indonesian context. This study aims to investigate the contribution of the Master's English Language Education (MELE) Program towards TPL on graduate students who have become teachers at once. The data were collected from graduate students of the program. A focus group was conducted with nine representatives of two classes that were categorized into two different groups. Constant comparison analysis was used as the data analysis method. The findings revealed three important themes namely applying knowledge into practice; transforming teaching through teachers’ self-inquiry; and improving knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward academic publication. The paper also presents the empirical evidence that takes place during the program and how it contributes to their professionalism.
