Abstract

This study explores teachers' and students’ perceptions of task-based language teaching in teaching speaking and the teacher's techniques in implementing task-based language teaching in teaching speaking. This study employs an explanatory case study design with an English teacher and 35 students of vocational schools in Indonesia involved in this study. Semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed qualitatively using interactive models of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The finding indicates that both teacher and students had a positive perception toward task-based language teaching, especially its implementation in speaking class. Implementing task-based language teaching in speaking classes makes the classroom environment more effective. The implication indicates that how the teacher sets the knowledge into classroom implementation is related to what the teacher has understood about task-based language teaching.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges faced by the learner and the activities they undertake concerning informal digital learning of English (IDLE) implementation in the English as foreign language (EFL) context. The impact of the COVID-19 on the education sector feels very challenging. Especially in EFL learning at the high/secondary school level, it is crucial since the skills are needed to support such level students' more complex need. It leads many experts to find the formal model's best alternative: playing digital games as IDLE. However, the current indications showed various challenges in the efforts of implementing IDLE within an academic context. As part of a more extensive sequential qualitative mixed-method study, seven high school students from various Indonesia parts were interviewed. From the findings, it is discovered that there were still some challenges regarding the implementation of IDLE in an academic context: physical and behavioural assumptions, dealing with the growth of physical and behavioural effect misconception and logical fallacy within the community; communal judgment, the a priori assumption of 'gaming stereotype' which massively wide-spread; and, technical challenges, regarding the implemental availability of the contemporary learning model. It is also recommended that finding solutions to these challenges requires many parties' involvement. It is due to some of the challenges were fundamentals. It is expected that many parties' involvement will make the resulting efforts to be a holistic solution.

Abstract

During the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, students and teachers had to carry out academic activities via online learning management system. Recently the threat of Covid-19 has receded and schools immediately carry out full face-to-face learning. The present study observed high school students’ perception of the shifts of English learning from blended to offline learning. The research data was obtained through a questionnaire from 286 students consisting of 118 males and 168 females in Central Java, Indonesia. The results reveal some pros and cons towards offline learning. In general, students accustomed to online learning find offline learning time-consuming and burdensome. However, most of them state that offline learning is fun, more interesting, and more effective. Importantly, they could meet their classmates and teachers in person again. The study concluded that offline learning or traditional classrooms were preferred to online learning.

Abstract

Adequate pragmatic competence, or the ability to use language in a social context appropriately, is essential for successful communication, particularly across cultures and societies. Many previous studies in appropriateness focused on speech act production, pragmatic development, and rater evaluations, but only a few investigated pragmatic comprehension. Therefore, this current research attempts to investigate EFL learners' comprehension of the appropriateness of criticism speech acts and the foundation that EFL learners consider in evaluating appropriateness. This study involved 20 EFL learners as participants. The study used a questionnaire with DCTs and open-ended questions to elicit the data. The findings revealed that EFL learners could understand the appropriateness of criticism speech acts They could indicate which utterances were associated with appropriateness or inappropriateness by considering various criteria such as politeness, power and social distance, linguistic forms, strategies, intentions, reasoning, and settings. This research has implications for English learning in that teachers should promote appropriateness as an important aspect of pragmatic competence to EFL learners so that they can use language appropriately to communicate in the target language.
