Abstract

Although previous studies have acknowledged the significant effect of flipped classrooms in language learning, few research has concerned about its potential impact on EFL learners’ sociopragmatics knowledge. The present study aims to examine the promising role of flipped learning assisted by WhatsApp applications (i.e., WhatsApp-integrated flipped learning) in enhancing EFL learners’ appropriate use of refusals in English. Another objective is to examine EFL learners’ perception of the WhatsApp-integrated flipped learning activity in facilitating the learning process. This study employed a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design of experimental and control groups. The experimental group (N=36) was taught in a WhatsApp-integrated flipped learning, while the control group (N=36) was enrolled in a similar class but did not experience the use of any digital platform. The intervention was conducted in eight meetings, including the process of data collection using Discourse Completion Tests, semi-structured interviews, and a TAM questionnaire. The results revealed that WhatsApp-integrated flipped learning was proven as an effective strategy to enhance EFL learners’ speech acts of refusals, indicated by a significant difference in the post-test scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. They showed positive acceptance toward the use of the WhatsApp application to facilitate flipped classrooms for teaching sociopragmatics. In addition, the semi-structured interview further disclosed that the learners positively perceived WhatsApp-integrated flipped learning activity. Implications for English language teaching and suggestions for future research are further discussed.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the strategy in maintaining the existence of the Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna school in Jepara Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study at Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna School, Jepara Regency. Informants consist of the Head of the Foundation, the principal, one teacher, one education staff, one community leader and one representative of the student's parents. Data collection uses observation, interviews, and document studies. Data validity is in the form of credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability. Data analysis uses an interactive model. The challenges in maintaining the existence of the Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna school can be seen from three current challenges such as; 1) The brand and image of the Dhammasekha school which is not yet strong in the community, 2) Limited segmentation and market, 3) Support from the community and stakeholders which is not yet optimal. This research will be useful for the Government, especially Direktorat Jenderal Bimbingan Masyarakat Buddha Kementerian Agama, Nava Dhammasekha School Organizers and Education Observers.
