Abstract

As a lingua franca, English plays an important role in most aspects of human lives, but acquiring fluent English is very challenging particularly for students in English as a foreign language (EFL) context such as Indonesia. The students rarely obtain learning opportunities and language exposures outside but inside classroom context so that maximizing their time in the classroom through their academic engagement is imperative. This study investigated how the students’ engagement in the classroom contributes to their English academic achievement. The study took a survey involving sixty college students from two universities in Banten. The data was analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation using the SPSS program. The finding confirmed that the students’ academic participation in the classroom significantly correlates to their English achievement as proven by the value of sig. at 0.001 which was higher than α value at 0.05 (0.00 > 0.05). Moreover, the correlation between the two variables is strong as the value of correlation coefficient equal to .621. This result suggests that teachers need more efforts to encourage their students participating in the classroom.

Abstract

This article examines the potential of infographics as a tool for promoting motivation in English language teaching (ELT), specifically focusing on the development of writing skills. Motivation is crucial in language learning, and educators are constantly seeking innovative approaches to engage students and foster a passion for writing. Infographics, with their visually appealing and information-rich nature, offer a promising avenue for achieving this goal. By incorporating infographics into writing instruction, educators can tap into their visual appeal and interactive elements to stimulate students' curiosity and enhance comprehension. Infographics also empower students by providing a sense of ownership and autonomy over their writing, allowing them to showcase their achievements in a visually compelling manner. However, implementing infographic-based strategies in writing ELT requires addressing challenges such as cultural relevance and accommodating diverse learner needs. Despite these challenges, infographics have the potential to revolutionize writing instruction by creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment that promotes motivation and improves writing proficiency.
