Abstract

Reading is one of the main skills that must be possessed by students in order to be successful in learning English as a foreign language. Meanwhile, motivation is very much needed in English learning because motivation is one of the determinant factors of student to succeed. The relationship of reading and motivation is two coin-sides that encourage anyone to read or not to read. The aim of making this study is to determine the relationship between students' reading motivation and reading comprehension. This study takes the setting of students who learn English as a foreign language at a state university in Palangka Raya--Indonesia during one month and half by selecting 36 college students with an age range between 19-21 years covered by 22 females and 14 males. This study used a correlational research design. The result shows that there is a positive correlation between students’ reading motivation and their reading comprehension which means the more motivated students in reading the more increased their comprehension in reading the texts.

Abstract

The use of code-switching in English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms has considerably occupied serious discussions. Most language researchers consider whether to use only the target language exclusively or to use it alongside the first language in foreign language classrooms. This paper reviews 15 empirical studies investigating code-switching in different EFL classroom settings and cultures regarding English as a second and foreign languages. There are three main things that this paper wants to seek for the answer from those studies viewed from teachers’ and students’ outlooks; those are the perception, the function, and the strategy to generate learning success from code-switching. The results show that code-switching provides the chance for the lower proficiency level of English learners to feel secure in expressing what they want to speak, but not for those who belong to high proficiency level ones. Besides, code-switching tends to function as classroom management, but the over-functioning of code-switching in the EFL classroom can only hinder learners from receiving comprehensible input of English. Of all, the most important highlight from this paper is that the more the mother tongue is used the worse the success of learning English.

Abstract

In the realm of English language learning, web-based learning (WBL) provides a critical tool for practicing speaking skills which requires synchronous interactions for effective learning. This study explores the efficacy of the "Harati Speaking" website, a web-based platform designed to enhance spoken English skills among Intermediate English learners. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method involving 64 second-year bachelor students from an Indonesian university's English Education Study Program. Data were gathered using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), which evaluates six categories of user experience: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty. Results indicate a generally positive user experience, with specific strengths in the website's ability to provide an engaging and efficient learning environment. However, areas such as novelty and certain aspects of attractiveness and dependability received lower, though still satisfactory, ratings, suggesting room for design enhancements. Overall, the "Harati Speaking" website proves to be a valuable tool for practicing the speaking skill in English, contributing positively to the language learning process in a foreign language classroom. This study provides valuable insights into how such platforms can facilitate synchronous interactions essential for effective language learning. For future development of the "Harati Speaking" website, more innovative and engaging features could boost the web novelty, such as by including gamification elements and interactive scenarios. By addressing these areas, future research can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the potential and optimization of web-based learning tools for English learning.
