Abstract

The issue of professional English as a foreign language (EFL) lecturer in the industrial revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) era has received considerable attention. However, very few studies on this subject have been conducted in Indonesia, particularly at State Islamic Universities. To address this gap, researchers conducted a qualitative study to examine how EFL lecturers maintain their professionalism in the IR 4.0 era and the curriculum approach that best meets current teaching and learning needs. The researchers applied a purposive sampling approach in selecting the participants for this study. There were 11 EFL lecturers from a state Islamic university in Banda Aceh, Indonesia chosen to participate in this study. The findings of this study indicate that EFL lecturers must continue to learn and improve their digital and technological competency in order to maintain their professionalism. In terms of curriculum approach, EFL lecturers believe that taking an interdisciplinary approach and providing more opportunities for students to focus on applied skills are essential parts of their teaching professionalism in the IR 4.0 era.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study was aimed at discovering English language teachers’ challenges in teaching TOEFL preparation for senior high school students. The data were collected by using an in-depth interview with six experienced and qualified English language teachers teaching TOEFL in the three-state and private senior high schools in Aceh province, Indonesia. Open, axial, and selective coding techniques were used to analyze the data from in-depth interviews. The results show that teachers faced some challenges during teaching TOEFL preparation for senior high school students including students’ different language proficiency, their lack of vocabulary mastery, their fatigue, their passive attitude, class size, and time limitation. The findings recommend the further idea to organize a more organized preparation TOEFL program for high school students that can be integrated into the existing curriculum, and thus it will no longer be viewed merely as an extracurricular program.

Abstract

In order to implement educational policies during the Covid-19 emergency period, the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia released Circular Letter 4 of 2020 on March 24, 2020. Universitas Islam Negeri-Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh has also been affected by Covid-19, and they have decided that all academic activities and faculty services be completed online by all students. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of student academic services during Covid-19 and the factors that hinder and facilitate that effectiveness. In this study, we used a descriptive qualitative methodology with in-depth interviews conducted with the purposively selected informants. The findings demonstrated that, despite the availability of online resources, the effectiveness of student academic services during the Covid-19 pandemic was still insufficient. Goal attainment, integrity, and adaptation are three examples of service effectiveness metrics that have not been met. Despite this, service providers continue to work on enhancing their offerings, particularly in light of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Abstract

Gaining comprehension when reading has become a challenge for students in EFL context. The present study was undertaken to deal with the hardship that EFL learners confront in their reading class. A strategy called fix up was considered effective in coping with the issue. This research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental design involving 40 students from a senior high school in Takengon, Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. They were equally divided into experimental and control groups, each consisting of 20 students. The instrument utilized here was a test comprising 25 multiple-choice questions, which has passed through validity and reliability test. The scores were analyzed by utilizing a t-test. The results showed that the learners in experimental group performed a much more significant increase compared to those in the control group. In addition, t-score was found greater than the t-table (6, 66 > 2,024) at a significance level of 0, 05 with df (38) suggesting that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. It can be concluded that the fix-up strategy affects the students’ reading comprehension, and it is recommended that other English instructors apply this strategy to create more active learners and to provide a better learning circumstance.
