Abstract

The paper reports a study inspired by the notion of ecological linguistics which has much been reviewed and researched by the applied linguistics experts worldwide. In this study, Leo van Lier’s notion of action-based was mainly used to describe the reality of English learning experience of university students enrolling in non-English departments. The English Courses in the departments applied MALL which was designed based on the ecological teaching principles of action-based (AB). Open-ended interviews were done to four participants to explore their perspectives on their own experience of learning English before and after joining the English courses. The data were analyzed and interpreted through narratives to unveil the elements of past, present, and future of the learning experience. Participant confirmation was carried out to increase the validity of the research findings. There was obvious evidence that the application of MALL underpinned by action-based teaching nurtured the students’ecological learning habit which connects the English and content-subject learning. All participants perceived that such learning was firstly complicated but challenging and motivating.

Abstract

Teaching writing in an EFL classroom is generally accepted as a composite task. Time-consuming process with various steps is required to train the students to be able to produce successful essays. Many methods and approaches including traditional and modern ways have been practiced by teachers. However, there has been little study devoted to confirm its effectiveness, particularly that of technology-enhanced pedagogy. To fill this gap, this paper presents the results of a case study which investigated the perspective of students who participated in a technology-based writing class about their experience when joining the writing course which mainly employed Instagram. Close ended questionnaire and focus group discussion were used to collect the data. Based on the data analysis, the students’ perspectives indicate that: 1) they believed that their peers’ feedback on Instagram help them to correct grammar , 2) particular posts on Instagram  help them learn new vocabularies and find better ideas to construct writing, 2) Instagram enhanced spelling correction, 3) students believed that negative comments and over-corrected feedback on Instagram make them not only feel under pressure but also become motivated to write a better essay, 4) ads in Instagram distracted their focus when writing, and 5) bad internet connection impeded the process of writing on Instagram. Finally, to maximize its strengths and minimized its weaknesses, it is suggested that students’ interaction, students’ knowledge of technology, teacher’s role, and accessible internet provided by the institution must be augmented.   Keywords: writing, social media-based learning, Instagram, students’ perception

Abstract

Most students find writing hard since it requires a complex process and strategies. They should cover not only all the dimensions of writing, such as content, organization of ideas, language use, mechanics, but also other important aspects such as, how they convey their ideas and do the editing process. They usually miss these aspects from the very beginning, the pre-writing process.  Therefore, the teacher should give an effective strategy for the students to write. It is critical to provide them strategies so that they can assist themselves in their writing process. Self-assessment is one of the strategies that encourages students to be able to think about their purpose in writing and to reflect on what and how much they are learning. This article discusses the benefits and practical implementation of self-assessment to assist the students’ writing process. Teachers should implement it frequently because it needs a process to train the students to develop their self-efficacy.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss one of the local cultures in the form of dance and its integration in English language learning in an effort to preserve the local culture and promote students' cultural awareness. The research design deployed was descriptive qualitative. Two art practitioners served as the subjects of the study and the data were obtained through an interview process. The data were analyzed using four steps data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. In addition, library study was also used to understand and study theories from various literature or sources related to the study. The findings showed that Lahbako Dance tells the story of the tobacco processing process starting from harvesting to packaging. In its development, the dance is modified because of the need for innovation and adaptation to developments and promoting its sustainability. In language teaching, its success depends on the use of teaching materials that accurately reflect authentic language use and cultural settings. Lahbako Dance can be inserted into the teaching and learning activities as an authentic material that can promote students' language skills, motivation, and cultural awareness. By doing so, local culture can also be well-preserved. Further studies related to the developments of other authentic materials are suggested.
