Abstract

Speaking in English is one of the toughest aspects to master in acquiring the English language. This is reflected in the broad job vacancies that require English as a mandatory skill. It means that it is important to equip students with adequate English skills. However, several reports have found that many students still lack confidence in speaking. On the other hand, a well-known theory suggests that one of the prominent factors influencing learning achievement is confidence, specifically called efficacy. Students' self-efficacy level seems to be one of the prominent factors that could influence their speaking achievement. As the pandemic has transformed the learning mode back into traditional face-to-face learning, this current study was conducted to investigate students' self-efficacy level in public speaking in the post-pandemic era. The study utilized a quantitative method and employed a questionnaire adapted from Paradewari's article. The questionnaire was converted into two types, online and offline conditions, and distributed to 182 students. An independent t-test method was used to compare whether there were differences in students' self-efficacy levels in public speaking between online and offline learning. The study revealed a significant difference in the overall students' self-efficacy level (as indicated by the T-Test Result score) and the factors influencing it. It also found that offline learning had a more positive effect on students' self-efficacy in public speaking compared to online learning.

Abstract

Critical thinking is assumed as one of the essential skills in today’s era. One of the ways to foster students’ critical thinking is through discussion that provokes their curiosity. Unfortunately, in the online setting, some studies reported that students face challenges in online discussion.  Therefore, teachers should find a way to optimize students’ engagement in online discussions. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT), which this paper argues for proposing a potential way in improving students’ participation and their critical thinking in an online discussion, is less used as a teaching strategy in educational practices. With the integration of Socratic Questioning, this research implemented a pre-experimental method with a one-shot design aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the NGT implementation in Critical Reading Classes conducted online combining both synchronous and asynchronous settings. Pre- and post-tests were implemented in two classes involving 52 students in six meetings. The descriptive statistics and t-test analysis had been implemented to find out the differences in students’ critical thinking skills before and after the NGT implementation. The result showed that there was a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills at p0.001, which confirmed that NGT with the integration of Socratic Questioning had a significant effect on the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills in an online context.

Abstract

Toward a Tripartite Model of EFL Students’ Learning Strategies, Epistemic Beliefs, and Their Online Learning Engagement. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to understand the link between these factors. This research explored the link among EFL students’ learning, beliefs about learning, learning strategies, and learning engagement since they are key factors in influencing them to learn English. Methods: This research applied quantitative research, notably correlational design among EFL epistemic belief, learning strategies which later is consisted of reading, speaking, and writing, and online learning engagement. Findings: The findings of structural equation modeling showed that EFL epistemic beliefs are associated with learning strategies and online learning engagement in a significant and positive way. Conclusion: Theoretical and methodological implications for studies of epistemic beliefs, learning strategies, and online learning engagement are explored. Keywords: tripartite model, EFL students, epistemic belief, learning strategies, online learning engagement.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v12.i3.202215

Abstract

Phonemic Awareness has been reported to be one of the predictors to reading comprehension in English as a first language. However, it also comprises the second language reading comprehension. Various studies have reported the effects of English phonemic awareness to reading comprehension in English as a second or foreign language, but less similar research has been reported involving Indonesian EFL learners. Indonesia and English share different phonemes that affect learners' comprehension on English. This study aims to investigate the correlation between EFL learners’ phonemic awareness and reading comprehension. The subjects selected were 100 students from the 3rd semester majoring in English Language Education Program, in one of Indonesian university. There are two test obtained during this research, the first is phonemic identification test in order to measure the level of phonemic awareness, and the second is reading comprehension test to measure students’ reading comprehension skill. Simple linear regression was applied to validate the influence of English Phonemic Awareness to English Reading Comprehension. The result revealed that the correlation coefficient (r) value between the two variables shows .352 degrees with the significance level .000, while the coefficient of determination (r2) shows . HIGHLIGHTS: The importance of phonemic awareness in English reading comprehension The ability to identify English phoneme in isolation supports learners to link its letter sound which help them to develop their recognition on alphabetic code. Phonemic identification contributes to phoneme segmenting and blending knowledge that further support learners in word recognition and processing acquisition as the components of reading comprehension skill.
