Abstract

Project-based learning is a student-centered method of organizing learning in projects in which the students drive their learning and the teacher plays as facilitator in a project designed. This research aimed to explore the implementation steps of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach employed by a teacher in an EFL classroom. It used a descriptive qualitative method. For the description of PjBL steps, the researchers administered classroom observation and in-depth interviews taking an English teacher as the informant at Al Ihsan Islamic boarding School, Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi. The findings revealed that the teacher implemented three major steps of PjBL in English language teaching, that is (1) planning and preparation, (2) the project work, and (3) report and presentation. Planning and preparation steps showed the best sample of previous project work referring to a real-life example of language usage and building the project activities’ framework; the project work step guided the project’s implementation and monitored the progress of the students’ project; and report and presentation step bridged the discussion and encouraged peer assessment among the students’ work. Based on these three steps, it is concluded that the implementation of PjBL had a positive impact not only on English language learning as a whole but also on other areas of learning, that is critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills of the students as well.

Abstract

This study is to describe two main points, namely (1) the development of English vocabulary mastery of 7th-grade students of SMPIT Ibnu Sina, Makassar using word card games, and (2) the aspects of vocabulary that hinder their English vocabulary development. Pre-experimental research method with pre and post-test design was used to quantitatively describe the impact of the treatment given through the use of word card games in developing students' vocabulary mastery comprising three aspects, namely (1)vocabulary forms in spelling and pronunciation, (2) denotative meaning of vocabulary, and (3) vocabulary usage focusing on the use of Present and Past Tense sentence patterns both in oral and written forms and the hindering aspects of their vocabulary mastery development which are then described qualitatively. The grade 7 students of SMPIT Ibnu Sina, Makassar totalling 28 students were the population of this study using the census sampling technique. To collect data, a vocabulary test was administered in three forms of questions, namely (1) spelling and pronunciation, (2) matching for vocabulary meaning, and (3) multiple choice and making simple sentences. The results showed that (1) the word cards could develop the English vocabulary mastery of students in terms of vocabulary form, vocabulary meaning, and vocabulary use empirically indicated by the mean score of pre-tests as 58.13 taken into an average category and post-tests is 79.72 classified into a good category and (2) the aspect that hinders students' vocabulary mastery is pronunciation and sentence construction. These findings are simply considered that word card games can be implemented to bridge the development of students’ vocabulary mastery coming along with teaching English structures.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research aims to have a descriptive account of the types of code mixing used by the EFL students in the classroom presentation for the English course provided. The researchers conducted this research at the English Education Faculty of Institut Parahikma Indonesia, Gowa (IPI Gowa) purposely taking 1 lecturer teaching the English course and 1 class of the fourth semester students consisting of 10 students having a classroom presentation as one of the learning activities designed. It employed a classroom observation and open interview to collect the data in which their results were classified based on Musyken’s theory (2000) and analyzed using the theory of Miles, Hubberman, and Saldana (2020) coming with three stages of the interactive model data analysis, namely data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The result of data analysis showed that the code-mixing types utilized by the students when doing the presentation were three, that is (1) insertion (word) taking the most dominant type used with 27 extracts, (2) alternation (clause) taking more dominant type used with 15 extracts, and (3) congruent lexicalization (dialect) taking the least with 12 extracts in the classroom presentation. These findings simply means that the use of code mixing becomes the students’ communicative strategy channeling the presenters and the audiences’ ways of understanding the points of their discussion during the classroom presentation.

The students who had favourable opinions reported that the implementation of WCF was motivating, interesting, and useful.

Further, the EFL teachers also had favourable opinions of WCF as it applied to students in blended learning. They argued that WCF was important, motivating, and helpful for students to recognize their errors. In summary, the researchers concluded that both EFL students and teachers at SMP Negeri 3 Galesong Selatan had favourable perceptions of WCF implementation during blended learning.
