Abstract

The importance of English proficiency for non-English MGMP teachers cannot be overstated. In order to receive an appropriate score for further studies or other reasons, they must be able to answer the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) questions correctly and properly. One of the challenges for Non-English MGMP teachers in answering TOEFL questions is that they do not know the format of the questions in the exam, as well as the time constraints to learn about TOEFL because most of them are already busy with their daily work, namely teaching. Based on current issues, the use of suitable Learning Media is a solution for learning TOEFL with the assistance of teachers who can direct them to learn effectively and efficiently. To address these issues, the Blended Learning TOEFL implementation is the best approach for learning TOEFL for Non-English MGMP Teachers. This is accomplished by integrating face-to-face and online learning methods.

Abstract

Portfolio-based Assessment (hereafter, PBA) plays an indispensable role in language assessment. PBA represents the development of the students’ learning process outcomes, trains autonomous learning, and stimulates metacognitive awareness. Conversely, a few investigative attempts, addressed the students’ perceptions of PBA in the Indonesian EFL Context. Therefore, this study aimed to decipher the perceptions of EFL students in Indonesia on PBA use in the English subject. Empirically speaking, two female students were involved as the participants in this study. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and analyzed with Thematic Analysis (TA) (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The findings revealed that students articulated their perceptions in three major themes, namely developing self-monitoring from the students’ learning processes, generating discipline, responsible and autonomous language learning attitudes, and mitigating perceptual mismatches among teachers and students. Pedagogically speaking, this study indicates that PBA employment can provide opportunities for students to monitor their learning progress, and enhance their self-confidence and learning motivation.

Abstract

Activities of reading numerous easy texts known as Extensive reading have successfully proven in building the students’ reading motivation and interest. Different from intensive reading which forces students to comprehend all of the words in the text, this activity is really beneficial to develop a love of reading. In this study, several activities have been conducted in an online extensive reading classroom. Not by giving comprehensive questions like intensive reading, this kind of activity provides interesting classroom activities underlying their general understanding of the text, such as creating reading logs, joining group discussion, giving response on the text, creating creative writing such as making a letter to one of the characters on the story, changing ending/beginning of the story, etc. Thus, this study focuses on scrutinizing classroom activities in an online extensive reading classroom by focusing on investigating the student’s voice. A survey encompassing 149 students was conducted in order to find their perception related to the activities of extensive reading in the virtual classroom. The findings show that most of the students show positive perception on the activities. The use of online platforms such as blogs, WhatsApp, zoom and google classroom also contribute on the students’ enjoyment and engagement. It undoubtedly forces them to be active in the classroom and show their best performance during joining the classroom activities.

Abstract

English plays an indispensable role in fostering academic, personal, and professional quality. In Indonesia, introducing English to students from elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education is highly demanding. Unfortunately, probing the non-major English student's learning experiences remains under-researched. Therefore, this study is aimed at scrutinising the English language learning experience of a non-English major college student in Indonesia. John (pseudonym), a talented and outstanding student from the non-English major of a state university in Tasikmalaya, West Java, was recruited as the investigative participant. The data were garnered through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Narrative Analysis (NA) (Labov & Waletsky, 1967). The findings reveal that supporting environment, learning motivation, and styles have become the most influential aspects for him to learn English. With this in mind, encouraging John to acquire Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) enables him to communicate in English successfully. Further, this study suggests that English is not only taught for classroom-oriented activities but also for real-life communicative purposes.  Keywords: Language Learning Experience; Narrative Inquiry; Non-major English Student
