Abstract

Abstract: Task-based learning has generally been implemented for university students. One task type common to especially language students is oral presentation. Giving an oral presentation may seem to be a limited activity, but it actually involves all the language skills. The students should read and write in the preparation, speak in the presentation, and listen and speak in response to questions. This paper presents a study of the students’ perceptions on the use of oral presentation as a teaching and learning technique in the classroom. The participants of the study were 120 undergraduate English Education students of two different courses. The data were collected mainly from the students’ essays, written at the end of semester, on the advantages and disadvantages of using the technique in the classroom. The data were then analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative analysis was first used for assessing the responses obtained from the essays; and secondly, the qualitative analysis provided the evaluation and interpretation of the figures. The results showed that most students appreciated the use of oral presentation in the classroom because the technique would make them become more responsible and active in their own learning; however, some less-motivated students would focus only on the materials in their own presentations and would not pay enough attention to other students’ presentations. Key words: task, teaching and learning technique, oral presentation

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to design the Creative Social Emotional Learning English (CSELE) classroom model in one of the district schools in South Sumatera, Indonesia. This model was proposed due to a growing awareness among educators and policymakers about the importance of social and emotional development for successful student. Based on the ADDIE model, the CSELE model is designed to include three steps: (1) the learning objective statement and need analysis, (2) the class strategy design, and (3) the class implementation and evaluation. The CSELE model focuses on integrating the efforts to support Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in the English as A Foreign Language (EFL) classroom context. This model involves the process of integrating the materials from the Indonesian 2013 national curriculum and creative teaching procedures for developing the students’ social emotional competencies, which include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. The findings showed that the CSELE model has demonstrated positive effects on the students’ social emotional competence, academic motivation, and classroom climate. However, more qualitative and quantitative studies should be conducted for further implementation of this model. Keywords:  Social Emotional Learning (SEL), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), creative, teaching and learning

Abstract

Abstract: Code-switching is an important issue in bilingual education. Many researchers have investigated its value in classroom teaching and learning process. However, this paper focuses on code-switching of English and Indonesian which happens in online social media. This paper identifies the types, topics, and factors motivating code switching in the online chatroom (LINE) among 80 bilingual young adults, the alumni of a senior high school in South Sumatra. Cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. The data were collected through documenting, questionnaire, and interview. Later, the data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the senior-high-school alumni mostly used intra-sentential code-switching (67%). The topics in the chatroom included social issues, technology, education, politics, health, economics, and faith; the reasons why they used code-switching were avoiding misunderstanding (75%), being easier to speak in one’s own language (52.5%), not knowing the English words (28.7%), no similar words in L1/L2 (27.5%), filling the stopgap (25%), giving emphasis (25%), conveying intimacy (18.8%), and having privacy (18.8%). In addition, the statistics showed that the topics and factors  had a significant relationship. Code switching can be a useful strategy in online interaction to serve many purposes.Keywords: code switching, bilingual, social media
