Abstract

Abstract: Teachers and lecturers still play significant roles in guiding their learners in EFL classes in achieving academic success during their study and these educators may become exemplary to foster their learners’ reading habit so they discern reading any types of texts needed, This research objective is to investigate the types of EFL teaching methodologies in teaching reading frequently used by all lecturers teaching both at public and private universities in Riau. There were three methodologies were studied: Audio Lingual and Grammar Translation Methods (traditional or lecturers’ centered) and Communicative Language teaching (as learners’ centered). This study implemented a quantitative research design using 5-Likert Scale questionnaire and 97 respondents were involved in the research. The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics (measuring percentage, standard deviation, mean, and overall mean scores) and inferential statistics (independent t-test and one-way MANOVA). The research has revealed that CLT tended to be used more than AL and GTM. This implied that both public and private universities in Riau preferred using the CLT method. From the quantitative research findings, it showed that lecturers aged between 30 and 40 years old felt more confident in their use of this method compared to other age groups

Abstract

The aim of this research is to discover the correlation between social media activeness and vocabulary mastery of the English department students of Universitas Riau. The population of the research is all third-year students of the English department of Universitas Riau. The number of samples is 117 students. The research instruments are 1) a questionnaire, and 2) a test. The questionnaire is for the data on social media activeness while the test is for the data on vocabulary mastery. To analyze the data, the researchers employed IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The data analysis revealed that the mean score of the student’s social media activeness is 20.2, classified as 'high' level, whereas the mean score of the student’s vocabulary mastery is 69.3, categorized as 'good' level. Additionally, the research finding showed the correlation coefficient of the two variables is 0.480, denoting a positive and moderate correlation. Also, the determinant coefficient is 0.2304, which implies social media activeness has a 23% influence on the students' vocabulary mastery, leaving the other 77% to other factors. Having discovered that there is a moderately significant correlation between social media activeness and vocabulary mastery, it is suggested that the students need to start utilizing their social media well and wisely. Besides providing entertainment, social media can be a great platform for students to improve their English vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

After a stroke, individuals have weakness and decrease mobility of the hemiparetic side, which demands less muscle oxygen consumption; thus, blood flow decrease. It interferes the hemodynamic system include vascular characteristics.The single limb (quadriceps) exercise intervention was aerobic training that focused only on the hemiparetic limb. The aims of this study was to determine the effects of the single limb exercise on vascular characteristics of both side femoral arteries using pre and post-interventional study. Twelve participants in subacute phase of stroke, performed endurance exercise using N-K table on the hemiparetic leg three times a week for eightweeks. The diameter, peak systolic velocity (PSV), total average maximal velocity (TA Max) of both side femoral arteries were measured. We found that the changing of vascular characteristics outcomes on both side femoral arteries were not statistically significant increased. Others factors that may impede vascular characteristics in both femoral arteries were blood viscosity, aging process and periods of exercise.
