Abstract

Students often consider writing a thesis project burdensome, resulting in longer completion of the degree. This article reports findings from a qualitative research exploring students' readiness to write bachelor theses. Questionnaires were distributed across different batches of students working on their thesis projects at an Islamic university in East Java. The respondents also participated in a focused discussion group to further explore their readiness. Data from 200 participants highlights that students generally have sufficient cognitive readiness regarding the areas and scopes of topics in ELT research. They have adequate to low academic readiness on aspects related to thesis writing as a form of academic writing. These students, however, have low social readiness. While the responses indicate that the students have high motivation to complete the thesis projects, more than half of the students reflected that they do not have a clear plan for the completion, are not very disciplined in working on their theses, have low reading interest and cannot manage their mood. The findings suggest that there is a gap between expectation and efforts. While they are cognitively ready, they are not socially ready. This implies that when supervising, the department and thesis supervisors need to touch upon psychological aspects of thesis writing intensively

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic impacted Indonesia's education system to change the teaching and learning activities rapidly. Edmodo is one of the Learning Management System (LMS) platforms widely used for English teaching and learning in Indonesia. Previous studies about Edmodo focus on the positive impact of Edmodo on the student's competence and performance. However, few studies discuss the pitfalls of Edmodo in EFL settings. A survey design was employed through the administration of the questionnaire. This survey research aims to investigate the strengths and the pitfalls of Edmodo to Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in the university context. Fifteen university students and ten lecturers were involved in the survey. The study results indicate that students and teachers have the same opinion about the strengths of Edmodo in terms of practicality and efficiency. However, a different opinion occurs on the use of Edmodo to complement face-to-face activity. Some teachers agree that Edmodo could not facilitate collaborative learning, but some lecturers said it was possible to do collaborative learning. Furthermore, students and teachers stated that the weaknesses of Edmodo need a good internet connection, especially for the quiz. This research, therefore, contributes some empirical insights into the use of Edmodo in English language teaching.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is a critical component of academic article writing. Numerous studies have demonstrated that self-efficacy affects reading comprehension, but few have examined the level of self-efficacy between students and lecturers regarding academic writing. Consequently, this study sought to ascertain students' and lecturers' levels of self-efficacy in academic writing. By administering questionnaires and conducting interviews with students and teachers, this study takes an explanatory mixed-methods approach to the topic. The online survey assesses self-efficacy in academic writing, and students and lecturers complete unstructured interviews. The study enrolled eighty students and eighteen lecturers from the English Department of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The results indicate that students enrolled in the English Language Education and English Literature Study Programs have a moderate level of self-efficacy. The self-efficacy of lecturers in the English Language Education and English Literature Study Programs demonstrates similar results. Additionally, they are moderate, with a slightly higher average index. This study also discusses the implications of research in the field of education
