Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills to master because it needs various sub-skills to produce a good and correct written product. Without mastering these sub-skills, the results of the writing activity will include a variety of errors. This research aims to determine what types of errors occur and most often appear in writing descriptive texts. The qualitative method was utilized to answer the research questions in this research. This research was conducted in MAS Al-Bidayah Batujajar. The samples of this study were 34 students of class X MIPA. The data was collected from the written test. The result shows that there were four types of errors made by the students. They are Omission, Addition, Misinformation, and Misordering error. The frequency of each type of error is different. As for if sorted from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency is as follows: first is Misinformation error (39.82%), second is Addition error (37.17%), third is Omission error (21.24%), and fourth is Misordering error (1.77%).

Abstract

The growing integration of Digital Multimodal Composing (DMC) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has transformed conventional grammar teaching methods by incorporating text, images, sound, and movement. However, limited empirical research explores its application in grammar instruction, particularly from the perspective of pre-service teachers. Guided by Liang and Lim (2020) DMC pedagogical framework, grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics and Design Thinking, this study examines the implementation of DMC in an Indonesian EFL higher education context. Fifteen pre-service teachers from an English Language Education Program participated in the study. Data were collected using a case study design through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and student reflections. Findings indicate that DMC fosters engagement, enhances conceptual understanding, and develops digital literacy skills. High-achieving students demonstrated strong digital fluency, creativity, and analytical skills in integrating multimodal elements into grammar lessons. Conversely, low-achieving students faced challenges with multimodal cohesion, tool navigation, and troubleshooting technical issues. The study highlights the importance of explicit instruction, guided practice, and peer collaboration in supporting students' multimodal literacy development. It emphasizes the need for structured pedagogical scaffolding to effectively integrate DMC into EFL grammar instruction. The findings suggest that while DMC promotes student-centered and multimodal learning, sustained instructional support and curriculum integration are essential for its success.

Abstract

This research was a pilot study which intended to develop Task based learning materials model for the Translation course. The study employed Research and Development. The research procedure of this study was adapted from Borg and Gall (1983). There are only three out of ten steps were employed: research and information collecting, planning, and developing preliminary form of product. The respondents of this research were two lecturers and third-semester students of the English education study program in a university in Cimahi. The data was taken from questionnaire and interviews. The research findings show that (1) from the analysis result, most of respondents wanted the learning materials that suits their need and interest. Thus, the pilot product covered eight topics such as translation process, a good translation, translation method, idiomatic translation, figurative language, simile and metaphor, direct technique and indirect technique; (2) the design used task-based learning model and was made based on three sessions namely pre-task, task cycle and language focus; (3) The translation material in pre activity consists of brainstorming and introducing the topics.

Abstract

This study examines the discrepancy between international and national educational frameworks, specifically the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) and the Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF/KKNI) and their implementation in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction within vocational hospitality education, particularly in restaurant contexts. Although both frameworks emphasize competency-based learning and authentic workplace preparation, classroom practices frequently remain dominated by traditional approaches, including the use of general English textbooks, written examinations, and limited opportunities for authentic communicative practice or technological integration. The lack of specialized ESP training among instructors, combined with institutional resource constraints, further exacerbates this mismatch. As a consequence, many graduates possess theoretical linguistic knowledge but lack the communicative competence required in the hospitality service industry. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive curriculum reform, continuous teacher professional development, simulation-based pedagogical approaches, integration of digital technologies, and stronger collaboration with industry stakeholders. These measures are essential to bridge the gap between educational policy and practical workplace demands in vocational English education.
