Abstract

Students must engage in independent study as one of the strategies that promotes student-centered learning since it affects how they learn. Some students rarely engage in independent learning, such as SDL, since they lack motivation, particularly when it comes to learning English. The purpose of this study is to look into how four college students use Duolingo for self-directed learning (SDL) and evaluate the objectives and procedure. A narrative inquiry was employed in this study to elucidate participant experiences. Additionally, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and daily journals kept by the students. The journal was the first tool employed, and the initial data was collected seven times. To confirm or supplement the information from the journals, all participants were questioned after the journals had all been gathered. Thematic analysis was used to examine the data. The study demonstrated that all participants could control the process of self-directed learning, define their own objectives and goals, and provide feedback on their SDL. Furthermore, because Duolingo has features that support all SDL procedures, adopting it as a tool or media for SDL helps participants feel more excited to participate in SDL. Key words: duolingo, independent learning, narrative inquiry, mobile assisted language learning, self-directed learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in developing speaking skills among secondary school students, focusing on both instructional implementation and the obstacles encountered. Conducted at a public junior high school in Karawang, Indonesia, the research adopts a qualitative case study approach, utilizing classroom observations and teacher interviews as primary data sources. The study analyzes the integration of five core PBL stages: problem identification, analytical discussion, independent inquiry, synthesis of findings, and reflective evaluation. Results indicate that the teacher successfully implemented each phase, fostering greater student participation and enhanced speaking confidence. Nonetheless, several impediments such as students’ low motivation, limited command of English, and insufficient learning resources posed challenges to optimal learning outcomes. The study concludes that while PBL offers considerable potential to improve oral communication skills, its success is contingent upon thorough instructional planning and robust institutional support.

Abstract

The decline in student literacy rates in Indonesia has prompted the adoption of extensive reading strategies with self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies to increase interest and independent reading skills. This case study aims to explore students' experiences using SRL strategies during extensive reading activities. Five high school students volunteered as participants, and data were collected through weekly journals and reading logs documenting the SRL phases (forethought, implementation, and self-reflection), as well as semi-structured interviews after the activity. The study findings indicate that SRL strategies help students choose appropriate learning strategies, improve time management skills, and facilitate the achievement of reading goals. Overall, participants reported positive benefits from using SRL, including improved English language skills and more effective learning management. The study's conclusions confirm that the application of SRL has proven relevant and beneficial in the context of extensive reading, providing practical implications that SRL-based literacy education can support increased interest and independent reading skills among high school students.

Abstract

This interaction analyis study aims to find out how the interaction between teacher and students and interaction among students in the jigsaw reading technique. The research was conducted qualitatively using interaction analysis involving an English teacher and 32 junior high school students. Data collection was carried out by observing with video recordings. This study was analyzed based on the category of Foreign Language Interaction (FLINT) System developed by Moscowitz (1971). The results show that the interaction patterns occured between teacher and students in the reading jigsaw technique, are giving direction, praising or encouraging, using ideas of students, asking questions, and giving information. Meanwhile, the interaction between fellow students is applied in inter-group discussions and presentations in front of the class. Thus, this research is expected to be a reference for teachers to consider the types of teacher talk that will be applied in jigsaw reading activities to increase the activity and interest of their students during class interactions

Abstract

This research attempted to explore how the KWL strategy facilitates EFL students' reading engagement. The participants of this research were three students of an Islamic Senior High School. Using a case study design, the researcher describes EFL students' reading engagement by observing and engaging them in in-depth interviews. For gaining the data, the researchers used semi-structured interviews and the students' artefacts of the KWL tables. The interview session was conducted through WhatsApp audio-recording as a preferred interview media by the participants. The result of the research found that the KWL strategy gives positive engagement and self-assessment to EFL students with several stages. Other researchers are suggested to conduct further research on similar topics related to reading engagement in EFL students. Several research possibilities will expand this research. First, future researchers can complete this study by looking at the students' needs in the classroom. The results of this study revealed that students have difficulty with vocabulary.

Abstract

Umpan balik membantu siswa menilai tulisan mereka dan melihat apakah tulisan itu bagus atau perlu perbaikan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana siswa EFL kejuruan menanggapi umpan balik tertulis dari gurunya dan terlibat dengan Umpan Balik Korektif Tertulis (Written Corrective Feedback). Makalah ini menggunakan desain studi kasus. Pengumpulan dokumen dan wawancara digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Penelitian ini menemukan tiga kategori keterlibatan siswa terhadap umpan balik koreksi tertulis dari guru: yaitu keterlibatan afektif, perilaku, dan kognitif. Singkatnya, keterlibatan kognitif siswa dengan umpan balik korektif tertulis dari guru melibatkan pemrosesan dan pemahaman umpan balik secara aktif, sementara keterlibatan perilaku melibatkan pengambilan tindakan berdasarkan umpan balik tersebut, dan keterlibatan afektif melibatkan respons emosional dan motivasi terhadap umpan balik tersebut. Temuan ini menyoroti bahwa kurangnya kemahiran berbahasa Inggris dapat membatasi kemampuan siswa sekolah menengah atas untuk secara efektif menerima umpan balik guru mereka dalam menulis, khususnya dalam menulis teks recount di kelas EFL.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of teachers in Technology-Mediated Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at a vocational high school. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations and teacher interviews. The findings highlight the role of teachers in three stages of TBLT: Pre task, Task Cycle, and Language Focus. In the Pre-task stage, teachers act as motivators and presenters, activating students' background knowledge using PowerPoint and guiding initial understanding. During the Task Cycle, teachers facilitate group collaboration and monitor students' progress while using smartphones to explore tenses. In the Language Focus stage, teachers provide feedback and use Baamboozle as a technological tool for formative assessment. The study demonstrates that teachers' roles extend beyond pedagogy to include digital integration, which aligns with the principles of TMTBLT. These findings provide insights into how technology and task-based methods can enhance language teaching in school settings and promote student centered learning.
