Abstract

Discourse markers (DMs) play a crucial role in writing as ‘linking words’, ‘linking phrases’, or ‘sentence connectors’ that bind ideas between sentences in a paragraph  or between paragraphs to  build  coherence  in a text.  DMs should be sufficiently but not overly used in writing. As EFL learners find it difficult to identify the types, functions, and positions of DMs to link ideas in their academic writing, this article attempts to share an instrument in the form of DMs checklist to help learners enhance their knowledge of DMs. The checklist can also be used as teacher/peer feedback form in the writing process.

Abstract

This is a report on an investigation of the differences between English teachers’ belief in effective teaching and their real practice in  remote-area schools in Indonesia. It is assumed that their beliefs play an important role in  influencing their decision in the classroom. It also uncovers the possible factors causing the  differences. A descriptive study using retrospective method was employed using a  questionnaire and an interview to 15  respondents participating in a Teacher Professional Education. The findings indicate that their beliefs about instructional objectives, materials, approach, classroom  management, instructional media, and assessment are not always reflected in implementations due to practical reasons or changes of belief either in a positive or negative way.

Abstract

This paper was aimed at investigating the students’ perceptions towards authentic materials in reading and listening activities. In addition, this study also surveyed the students’ preferred materials for both listening and reading activities for future classes.The learning of English has been evolving from using traditional media to more advanced and technology-friendly media. One of the media that is very accessible with the support of wide internet access nowadays is online authentic materials. With all the benefits of authentic materials and the use of technology in classroom activities, an Englishteacher at SMAN 10 Samarinda had been utilizing authentic materials for the past semester. A case study design was employed. The case was considered unique that the school is eminence with good student intake and the quality of student outcomes in academic achievement. Based on a pilot study, there was a need of supplementing the materials with authentic texts. It was for three reasons; first, there was tendency from the students to underestimate the lesson because the lesson, for them, was easy. Second, the book was not enough to prepare them for the national exam (UN) and real communication.Third, they often ran out of materials when they only used the students’ book. The data was collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interview. The questionnaires were spread to 50 high school students from 2 accessible classes at the institution. After that, the data was analyzed. First findings from the questionnaire became the base for developing interview sessions with the students to get in-depth perspective of certain answers from them. The findings of how the students perceive the use of authentic materials were discussed. Finally, some suggestions to related significance were also proposed.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengembangan profesionalisme guru menjadi kegiatan wajib bagi semua guru untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mereka secara berkala. Kegiatan yang diadakan secara daring dan berupa rangkaian kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan sejawat belum banyak dilaksanakan. Kegiatan pelatihan yang biasanya hanya sekali dilakukan tanpa kegiatan lanjutan hanya meningkatkan pengetahuan guru, tetapi tidak memberi mereka kesempatan untuk mengimplementasikan pengetahuan baru ini di kelas mereka masing-masing. Kegiatan pengembangan profesionalisme guru yang dilaksanakan sebagai kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat selama lebih kurang satu bulan ini berpotensi untuk membantu guru merefleksi dan berkolaborasi dengan guru sejawat mereka di sekolah yang sama sehingga mereka dapat lebih percaya diri dalam mengimplementasikan pengetahuan baru mereka. Kendala teknis maupun kurangnya komitmen guru untuk mengikuti kegiatan ini secara utuh terjadi dalam program ini. Dampak nyata dari rangkaian kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan ini belum dapat dirasakan dalam jangka pendek, akan tetapi dengan dibukanya peluang untuk para guru membentuk komunitas belajar diantara sejawat mereka, diharapkan mereka dapat saling memberikan dukungan baik secara pengalaman maupun emosi. Kata kunci—Pendampingan sejawat, Pengembangan profesionalisme guru, Guru Bahasa Inggris SMP Abstract  Teacher professional development activities are mandatory activities for all teachers to improve their knowledge and skills regularly. Activities held online and in a series of training activities, and peer coaching have not been widely implemented. Training activities usually carried out only once without follow-up activities only increase teachers' knowledge but do not allow them to implement the newly acquired knowledge in their language classes. The reported teacher professional development program, carried out as a community service activity for approximately one month, can help teachers reflect on their teaching and collaborate with their peer teachers at the same school so that they can be more confident in implementing new knowledge. Technical obstacles and lack of commitment of teachers to participate in this activity as a whole occurred in this program. The real impact of this series of training and coaching activities cannot be observed in the short term, but with the opening of opportunities for teachers to form learning communities in their own school and collaborate among their peers, it is hoped that they can provide mutual support both experientially and emotionally. Keywords— Peer coaching, Teacher professional development, Junior high school English teacher

Abstract

The present study aimed at exploring strategies applied and the problems test-takers faced before, during, and after working on an integrated reading-listening-writing (IRLW) task. This narrative inquiry research employed 23 students taking a TOEFL iBT test in the Indonesian context using the purposive sampling technique. The respondents answered a questionnaire and written questions related to the problems they faced during the test and their strategies to solve the problems. The test-takers’ responses from the interview were used to confirm the data from the responses to written questions. The researchers used an in-depth interview protocol to explore the test-takers’ strategies to solve the problems they faced when doing the test. The interview process was conducted right after they finished the test. The data from the questionnaire, written questions, and interviews were further analyzed descriptively. The findings showed that the test-takers encountered internal and external problems in completing the IRLW of the TOEFL iBT test. They used different integrated writing strategies, depending on their learning styles, cognitive levels, experiences, abilities, levels of anxiety of each test-taker, and the environment of the test. The affective, cognitive, metacognitive, and test-wiseness strategies were all used in their own way to solve their problems. It implies that future test-takers need to learn and apply all positive strategies based on their learning styles. English teachers, therefore, should teach positive strategies of IRLW because students might not know the importance of the strategies and how to use them in the test.

Abstract

This research study aimed at revealing the strategies employed by successful English as a Foreign Language (EFL) doctoral candidates in accomplishing their dissertation writing and their perspectives in association with the stages of research report writing.  This is a narrative qualitative inquiry, and the data were collected through an in-depth interview with ten successful EFL fresh graduates who had completed their dissertation writing within six and seven semesters. Using a retrospective technique, the respondents were asked to recall their experiences and activities during the process of writing their dissertation. The results reveal that the successful doctoral candidates used four main strategies of dissertation writing: cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. In completing each of the dissertation stages, the doctoral candidates spent much time reading a huge collection of research articles, writing their dissertation on a daily basis, and having intensive consultation with their advisors. This study would be useful for EFL doctoral students to avoid delay in completing their studies and to meet their academic timeline so that they can face their challenging dissertation writing to complete their study on time.

Abstract

Leksis adalah salah satu unsur bahasa yang diperoleh oleh pembelajar bahasa pada tahap-tahap awal baik oleh pembelajar bahasa ibu (B1) maupun bahasa kedua/asing (B2). Dalam proses pemerolehan B2, terbukti bahwa pembelajar tidak hanya menghadapi masalah kesalahan struktur bahasa saja melainkan juga masalah pemilihan leksis. Namun patut disayangkan bahwa sampai saat ini para linguis terapan belum banyak yang berminat untuk meneliti masalah leksis ini sehingga masalah-masalah yang timbul dalam pengajaran B2 belum banyak mendapat altematif pemecahan yang lebih baik. Oleh sebah itu tulisan ini berusaha menunjukkan bahwa masalah leksis penting untuk dikemukakan, sama pentingnya dengan masalah unsur bahasa lainnya. Selain itu, bahasan ini menyajikan juga perihal perilaku dan peran leksis yang diambil dari Ronald Carter (1989) yang akan dikaitkan dengan pembelajaran B2 dan masalah-masalah yang muncul dalam bahasantara. Kesalahan pemilihan leksis yang muncul dalam bahasantara berupa penggabungan kata-kata pada set leksikal yang salah dalam kolokasinya. Bahasan ringkas ini diharapkan dapat memberikan tambahan wawasan kepada ada para guru B2 tentang leksis agar ia dapat mengatasi masalah yang timbul di kelas dengan lebih bijaksana.
