Abstract

The present study presents the instructional procedures of the implementation of corpus-aided discovery learning and the extent to which corpus-aided discovery learning can create motivating and successful English grammar learning environment for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. Corpora promotes inductive learning in terms of that students not only acquire grammar by language data, observation and self-discovery of rules, but also find it entertaining and exciting to make grammar rule generalization on their own (Cheng, 2011; Hunston,2002). Drawing on data of a questionnaire and an interview, the students recounted that incorporating corpus-informed data into grammar learning was very satisfying and useful, and students can be sure that the language they are practicing is up-to-date, used in everyday situations. It is not artificial or invented language but consists of the most widely used grammar (McCarthy, 2004). In addition, language corpora helped students to learn about certain language uses that were not available in any of the traditional tools. Another finding shows that students understood how certain language forms were used by native speakers of English, and students revealed more positive attitude toward corpus in learning English grammar. The findings imply that corpus-informed data can be a means of encouraging autonomous learning, illustrating real uses of abstract rules, presenting authentic daily grammar, and promoting exploratory inductive learning. However, some students, especially inexperienced students, found learning grammar through corpus-informed data was difficult or boring.

Abstract

Pre-service English teachers' identity construction as a teacher is complicated and influenced by several factors. The current study intends to investigate how Indonesian pre-service English teachers construct their teacher identities when performing the teaching practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed a narrative inquiry to investigate pre-service teachers' experiences and how they interpreted those experiences. To collect data from the participants, the authors used semi-structured interviews and their narrative frames.. Additionally, this study used documentation, such as lesson plans and teaching practicum reports to enrich and reinforce the data. Finally, the result of the collected data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that pre-service English teachers encountered several constraints when completing a teaching practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic that could have limited how they constructed their teacher identities. Constrained factors include government rules that enforced teaching-learning activities during the pandemic and unsupportive school mentors. However, some participants also have supportive school mentors who guide them as they learn how to teach. This research demonstrates the crucial role that school mentors play in constructing pre-service teachers' identities. Furthermore, pre-service teachers overcame the difficulties of their teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic by using their creativity and resilience. Keywords:  Pre-Service English Teachers, Teacher Identity, Narrative Inquiry, COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Many students still struggle to comprehend the text in the context of reading comprehension. Students lack motivation because they lack confidence in their reading comprehension abilities. Students are not engaged when they are not ambitious to read. Learning does not occur in this state. Although many previous studies have investigated the correlation between self-efficacy and reading comprehension, the application of reading strategies, in general, to assess students' self-efficacy is deemed less effective because students in Indonesia are unfamiliar with reading English, particularly reading comprehension. To fill the research gap previously identified, this study will examine the self-efficacy of vocational students in reading comprehension using Literature Circle as a reading strategy. The classroom action design was used in this study with fifteen vocational students. Data from a self-efficacy questionnaire and an interview were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. According to the findings of this study, the literature circle in this study helps students improve their self-efficacy and achieve aspects of reading comprehension assessment.
