Abstract

Pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di tingkat sekolah dasar (SD) di Indonesia sudah dirasakan mendesak untuk ditingkatkan implementasinya untuk menyiapkan generasi emas Indonesia yang mampu aktif terlibat dalam komunitas global. Namun demikian pengajaran bahasa Inggris di SD menghadapi banyak kendala dalam hal implementasinya. Salah satu kendala umum yang banyak dihadapi adalah kemampuan pedagogik guru yang relatif masih kurang dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris kepada siswa SD. Pelatihan mengajar bahasa Inggris dengan metode PPP yang diberikan kepada beberapa guru SDIT di Kota Makassar bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi atas permasalahan tersebut. Pelatihan ini berlangsung dengan tiga tahapan: tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan, dan tahap evaluasi. Berdasarkan hasil dan pembahasan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan ini dapat memberikan solusi atas salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh guru dan sekolah khususnya dalam hal implementasi pengajaran bahasa Inggris di SD. Diharapkan kegiatan pelatihan ini dapat memberikan dampak positif bukan hanya kepada peningkatan kempetensi pedagogik guru tetapi juga kepada peningkatan kemampuan bahasa Inggris siswa sekolah dasar secara umum.

Abstract

This study investigates lecturers' experiences implementing digital learning in English reading classes in Indonesian higher education. With the widespread adoption of digital technology, English reading classes that previously relied on printed texts and face-to-face interactions increasingly integrate digital tools to enhance student engagement and comprehension. This research uses a qualitative approach to explore lecturers' experiences adapting their teaching methodologies with digital tools. The purposive sample involves five lecturers teaching English reading classes at Maros Muslim University who have experience with traditional methods and digital learning, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews, providing rich, detailed accounts of how lecturers integrate digital learning into their teaching practices. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, following the methodological framework of Braun & Clarke (2006). This approach involved systematically identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within the data. The findings reveal that lecturers demonstrate high flexibility in using various digital devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets to meet different teaching needs. Lecturers also emphasize the importance of the interactive capabilities of digital tools, which can transform passive reading into a more dynamic and engaging experience. However, they also acknowledge the value of traditional learning materials like printed books, which remain important for tasks requiring deep engagement and critical thinking. The study highlights the need to balance digital and traditional learning resources to create inclusive and effective learning environments. The lecturers' experiences adapting to digital tools are crucial for successfully implementing digital learning and improving educational outcomes. This study provides valuable insights into the practical realities of digital learning implementation and strategies to support lecturers in this transition process.

Abstract

Individual presentation is one of common presentations used by students to present certain topic given by the lecturers in the class. This kind of presentation may take place in a range of setting such as in the classroom by providing question-and-answer session. Individual presentation might also invite classroom interaction among the students. One specific aspect of individual presentation which may contribute to the effective classroom interaction is the use of discourse markers by the students. This paper focuses to investigate the functions of discourse markers used by the students in the individual presentation as well as the students’ interaction during the presentation. Using data from an English class, this study describes the occurrences of discourse markers (DMs) used by the students in their individual presentations. To collect data, the researchers recorded individual presentations of the students in the class. Two long recording and transcription of the individual presentations was sampled and analyzed using discourse analysis approach. The discourse markers used by the students were analyzed using Schiffrin’s perspective of discourse markers (1987). Findings show that the students’ most common use of discourse markers function as pause filler, delaying tactic, hesitation device, to order the sequence of what the speaker says. Findings of this study are relevant to improve students’ English language proficiency and serves as a beneficial input for teachers and students to create effective classroom interaction.Keywords: Individual Presentation, Discourse Markers, Discourse Analysis, Scriffin’s discourse makers (DMs) perspective

Abstract

This study focuses on the novel Beauty is a Wound, which was originally translated by Annie Tucker from the Indonesian novel Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka (2002). This study was conducted to identify and analyze instances of gender inequality in "Beauty is a Wound." This study aims to: 1) identify the forms of gender inequality portrayed by women in Beauty is a Wound; and 2) the meaning behind inequality. The qualitative descriptive approach was adopted in this investigation. Mansour Fakih's (2013) idea is being utilized by researchers. The findings revealed that women face four categories of gender inequality: subordination (four), marginalization (six), violence (25), and stereotyping (five). In this study, the meaning of inequality is that (1) women's characters do not provide the same rights as other children to get education, study, and socialize; (2) prisoners appear helpless and do not have the right to manage their own lives, which results in marginalization; (3) they were subjected to poor treatment at the hands of Japanese soldiers, which resulted in both physical and psychological injuries, which led to the claim that it was violence; and (4) the assumption that they were vile individuals.

This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. In collecting data, this research applied note-taking as an instrument. To obtain data, the dialogues of the characters were analyzed thoroughly. Researchers implemented the theory of code-mixing by Muysken (2000) to find the types and the view of code-mixing factors from Hoffman (1991) for the analysis. The research results revealed three types of code mixing contained in this movie. They are insertion type (7 data or 29.17%), alternation type (12 data or 50%), and congruent lexicalization type (5 data or 20.83%). In addition, factors of code-mixing are also found in this movie. They are the lexical needs factor (9 data or 37.5%), emphasize something factor (3 data or 12.5%), talking about a particular topic factor (5 data or 20.83%), repetition used for clarification factor (2 data or 16.64%), soften or strengthen request or command factor (2 data or 8.33%, and expressing group identity factor (1 data or 4.16%). The most common form of code-mixing in this film is alternation when one language is used to fill in for another's lexical gaps throughout a conversation. They spoke in turn, and researchers found that a single sentence may be expressed in two languages with vastly different grammatical structures.

Abstract

Metaphor is one of the essential elements of language that reflects a person’s level of creativity and capacity for abstract thinking. This study aims to identify the relationship between students’ personalities—based on the Big Five Personality model—and their ability to construct metaphors in English, using the theoretical framework of Lakoff & Johnson (1980). Employing a quantitative correlational approach, the research involved 65 active students from the English Literature Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar, selected through stratified random sampling. The instruments used were the Indonesian-adapted version of the Big Five Personality questionnaire (IPIP) and a metaphor writing test consisting of 20 items. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the dimension Openness to Experience had a strong and significant positive relationship with metaphor construction ability, establishing it as the strongest predictor. Conscientiousness also showed a significant positive correlation, while Neuroticism had a significant negative correlation. In contrast, Extraversion and Agreeableness were not significantly associated with metaphor ability. These findings highlight that certain personality aspects—particularly openness to experience and self-discipline—play an important role in supporting students’ linguistic creativity, especially in metaphorical expression.

Abstract

When it comes to efficiently developing and implementing a language program, doing a needs analysis is necessary. Thus, to fulfill students' English language demands in the International Class Program (ICP) of the Biology Department at Universitas Negeri Makassar, it is important to ascertain the learning requirements of students. This study aimed to find out students’ expectations about English learning materials, and to assess their efforts to achieve it. This study employed a mixed-method approach to assess the needs of the students, integrating both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The research included a total of 34 participants, comprising 31 second-year students enrolled in ICP of the Biology Department, 1 English lecturer, and 2 alums of the same program. The questionnaire and the interview were the instruments used to gather information. The study's results showed that students need English learning materials that are related to what they are studying. To improve their English, it was very important for the students to have access to the right English materials. Researchers looked at the learning needs of the students and found that they all had different levels of English ability. The students thought that reading and speaking were the most important skills to learn in order to be fluent in English. The most common problem the students had was incorrect grammar use. The students who took part in the ICP had different ways of learning, as shown by the analysis of goal needs. Some of these ways were reading English-language books and watching videos or movies. The most important ones were to improve their self-esteem and get ready for future job prospects. Reading English-language books, watching movies, and listening to music were the main things that students did to improve their English language skills.
