Abstract

A needs analysis is required to design ESP courses and determine appropriate materials for vocational high school students. Particularly in a multimedia study programme, even while multimedia has become increasingly prominent as a result of digital transformations, there is not much attention given to conducting the need analysis for vocational high school students. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the needs analysis for ESP in a multimedia study programme of a vocational high school. Specifically, it attempts to reveal what difficulties are encountered by the students during their internship programmes, what English language skills are needed by the students to perform their jobs, and what the multimedia study programme needs to offer to allow students’ employability. A case study was conducted on an EFL teacher and eighteen students in a vocational high school. The findings revealed that: First, students had difficulties in Grammar, Vocabulary, and Speaking; Second, the English language skills needed to perform their jobs were listening, reading, and writing; Third, the multimedia study programme should offer copywriting, technical vocabulary and authentic materials related to multimedia to allow students’ employability. This research also recommends three-unit materials for the ESP courses divided into three topics: copywriting, photography, and videography.

Abstract

This paper reports on the results of a study aiming to investigate the student’s ability to write recount text of a university student in Bandung. The study was conducted using the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), especially functional grammar, in terms of the Transitivity, Mood and Modality system. The study used a case study on text analysis. A text, which is a recount text written by a higher achiever university student, was analysed using the Transitivity, Mood and Modality system. In terms of the Transitivity system, the result indicates the writer’s adequate syntactic compression and rich lexico-grammatical patterns. Moreover, in terms of the Mood and Modality system, the text shows the writer’s ability to infuse, temper, negotiate, and constrain the experiential meanings in the Mood that is in focus. Hence, the writer is categorized as a mature and critical writer, and the text is appropriate to be used as a model text. Research on text analysis using SFL of different genres of text and how the teaching of writing should be conducted to help improve students’ writing ability is recommended.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in the educational environment, whether in schools or universities. Besides the national language, students are also exposed to regional and foreign languages to enhance their language proficiency. Teaching foreign languages encompasses a wide range of options, such as English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Moreover, languages affiliated with ASEAN countries, like Malay, Thai, and Indonesian, have gained popularity. This study employs a descriptive approach to elucidate the findings regarding the interest in learning Indonesian among students in ASEAN nations. Conducted by SEAMEO ASEAN, the research draws its primary data from questionnaires and presentations submitted in September 2022. Participating ASEAN countries in this SEAMEO initiative encompass Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste, and Vietnam and analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis. The study reveals a notable demand for Indonesian language learning among students from ASEAN countries. Indonesian is pursued for various purposes, including professional, socio-cultural, and personal development. Recognizing the interest in Indonesian among ASEAN students provides a foundation for the implementation of Indonesian as a foreign language through the BIPA program. There has not been much research on the interest of Indonesian language among students at the ASEAN level, therefore this research is included in the initial research on Indonesian language internationalization policies starting from the ASEAN level

Abstract

This study examines the challenges of integrating English for Specific Purposes (ESP) into Indonesia's Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) curriculum. As language teaching evolves, ESP integration addresses learners' professional linguistic needs but faces significant obstacles. Based on a literature study from peer-reviewed journals and academic databases, the analysis identifies key challenges, including teacher qualifications, instructional methods, theoretical frameworks, varied learner proficiency, inadequate materials, institutional policies, and the lack of curriculum guidelines and assessment strategies. The study emphasizes the crucial role of teachers in overcoming these issues, noting a gap between theoretical concepts and practical application in ESP teaching. Addressing these challenges is essential for improving language learning outcomes. The findings highlight the need for teacher professional development and collaborative efforts to establish comprehensive ESP integration frameworks. This study contributes to the discourse on language education in Indonesia, offering insights for future research to enhance teaching practices and outcomes.

Abstract

Translanguaging has increasingly been used in English classrooms to symbolize a movement away from native-speakerism in the growing multilingual society. In translanguaging classroom contexts, students are evaluated on their ability to use their whole language repertoire to express what they know and can do in classroom tasks. Four principles of translanguaging in assessment are provided as guidelines. However, many classroom translanguaging studies barely address how the four principles are employed. This study explores teachers’ experiences in performing assessments in classroom translanguaging in relation to the four principles of translanguaging assessment to propose recommendations for translanguaging classrooms at the university level. Classroom observations and interviews were conducted with five teachers of an English department at a university in Indonesia. A thematic analysis performed on the data demonstrated that the teachers’ assessments had accommodated the different voices in assessment, the use of other people and other resources, and the authenticity of the tasks. However, the distinction between general linguistic and language-specific performances was not carried out. Another theme emerged – shared language among interlocutors. Recommendations covering improving teachers’ knowledge about pedagogical translanguaging, how to design translanguaging assessments, and how to manage the assessment are made to facilitate good alignment between classroom translanguaging instructions and assessments to maximize students’ learning benefits.

Abstract

The following are the issues raised by this study: 1) What are the challenges that English lecturers face when writing research articles for scholarly publication in a reputable international journal? 2) What are the most significant impediments that English lecturers face when writing research articles for scholarly publication in a reputable international journal. The dominance of English in global studies has recently become an issue of debate in the publishing sector. Writing academic papers in English has grown more significant. However, faculty members and postgraduate students face writing barriers in a number of areas, including knowledge claim, textual organization, interference from diverse cultural perspectives, linking the text to the audience, argument structure, grammatical rules, and so on. According to the findings of this study, one of the most common difficulties that researchers encounter while writing is selecting how to claim expertise. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of writing and publishing in a well-known international indexed journal for the benefit of themselves, their university, and their country. They argue that the university should offer them a course, training, or workshop.

Abstract

This paper explores the theoretical foundations of task-based learning (TBL) and its effectiveness in enhancing argumentative writing and critical thinking skills among university students. TBL emphasizes engaging learners through meaningful tasks that mirror real-life communication, fostering linguistic competence and critical thinking—essential skills for constructing coherent and persuasive arguments. The study addresses key concepts in argumentation, such as claims, evidence, and reasoning, and underscores their significance in developing well-supported, logical arguments. Furthermore, it focuses on the exploration of (1) definition and core principles of task-based learning and its application in writing, (2) benefits of task-based learning for language and writing skills development, (3) the role of critical thinking in argumentative writing, (4) key concepts in argumentation (claims, evidence, reasoning), (5) explanation of clarity, precision, relevance, and logic (as standards of thought) in the context of argumentative writing, and (6) the relationship between critical thinking and standards of thought. This integrated framework highlights the interconnections between TBL, critical thinking, and argumentative writing and provides actionable insights for English lecturers on implementing TBL strategies in their curricula to better support students’ academic development.

Abstract

Critical literacy (CL) emphasizes the analysis of texts to understand power dynamics and promote social justice, helping students challenge established norms. However, further research is needed on its integration into the English curriculum for Indonesian university students. This case study explores the strategies used by an EFL teacher to foster CL development among 28 student-teachers at an Indonesian university through narrative texts. Data was gathered through classroom observations, students' reflective journals, and interviews, and thematically analyzed. Findings revealed that the teacher applied strategies such as "reader as code breaker," "reader as meaning maker," "reader as text user," and "reader as text analyst." Additionally, the Four Resources Model of CL enhanced students' abilities, particularly in meaning-making and text critique. Practical implications for curriculum design suggest that integrating CL strategies into the EFL curriculum can encourage students to engage more critically with texts, fostering deeper understanding and social awareness. For teacher training, this study highlights the importance of equipping educators with strategies for facilitating critical literacy in diverse classroom settings. The study advocates for a systematic integration of CL in EFL curricula across Indonesian higher education to enhance the quality of English programs and prepare students for more active participation in global discourse.

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to investigate how the teaching and learning processes of English Education Program Students occur in creating multimodal texts using the Genre Based Approach teaching method. The study seeks to demonstrate that Genre Based Approach, as a teaching method for academic reading and writing courses, can assist students in creating their own multimodal texts, which combine words and images. Participatory Case Study is employed as the research design, aiming to delve deeper into the phenomenon of teaching and learning processes within it. The use of field notes in each phase of the learning activities is crucial in this research as it clearly records interactions between lecturers and students in the classroom. This study provides evidence that the analysis based on the Image Framework analysis (O'Halloran, 2008) in collaboration with the Transitivity System from Systemic Functional Linguistics (Emilia, 2014) enables students to comprehend multimodal texts, analyze them, and ultimately create their own multimodal texts using the genre of analytical exposition. The results of this research demonstrate that the Genre Based Approach teaching process, conducted over 14 sessions from February 21 to April 10, 2024, has improved the reading and writing abilities of fourth-semester students who will be undertaking the PLP program in their fifth semester. This improvement is evidenced by the pre-test and post-test results, which measured understanding of multimodal texts and the production of multimodal texts.

Abstract

The Genre-Based Approach (GBA) has been a common teaching method in Indonesia for many years, particularly for learning how to write. GBA consists of four stages: 1) Building Knowledge of the Field, 2) Modeling of the Text, 3) Joint Construction of the Text, and 4) Independent Construction of the Text. This research examines how effectively GBA and teacher feedback can improve high school students' understanding of discussion texts. This research combined Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a Genre-Based Approach (GBA) to investigate learning outcomes in a class of 12th - grade at SMA Negeri 1 Garut. The CAR cycle, involving planning, action, observation, and reflection, was interwoven with the GBA stages: building field knowledge, modeling, joint construction, and independent construction of texts. The Genre-Based Approach (GBA) provides a structured framework for analyzing texts, making it easier for both teachers and students. By breaking down the structure of texts like discussions, GBA helps students understand how to present their own arguments effectively, including counterarguments and reasoned conclusions. Furthermore, providing constructive feedback to students is essential for their learning. This feedback not only improves their understanding of the material but also enhances their interest, motivation, and performance in future assignments.The study found that GBA is beneficial for improving students' understanding of discussion texts. However, the research also highlighted that the successful implementation of GBA often depends on the teacher providing effective feedback to students. The study concluded that when implemented effectively, GBA, combined with constructive teacher feedback, significantly enhances high school students' writing skills for discussion texts.Keywords: Genre-based Approach (GBA); feedback; high school; writing skill; discussion text
