Abstract

Recent studies have paid attention to peer interaction as a means of second language (L2) learning. Interaction among learners in carrying out task is believed to mediate the process of L2 learning. The study therefore observed the nature of a pair talk in an interaction while completing a grammar task. The interaction was recorded and analysed by using language related episodes (LRE) in terms of form, lexicality, and mechanism. LRE was used in order to understand the characteristics of a pair talk at homogenous (intermediate-intermediate) level and to examine the participants’ accuracy in completing the task. The results suggest that even though the pair solved the questions in the task using form-focused LRE (F-LRE) and resolved the task interactively, they were not able to make correct decisions over grammar errors.

Abstract

Today, the numbers of English speakers are geographically and culturally diverse. The discussion on which pronunciation model of English should be introduced to learners of English has become under discussion among English language practitioners. Should English teachers teach pronunciation aiming at near native accents or at intelligibility in which learners can understand different models of English? As a country where English is a foreign language and Non Native-English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) are vastly available, Indonesia has posed its uniqueness due to its diverse learners’ and teachers’ backgrounds. Under this circumstance, then, there has been a frequent question to whether NNESTs can help learners to develop their English pronunciation. This paper discusses English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) model as suggested by Jenkins (2000) in teaching English pronunciation that can be implemented in the Indonesian context. It suggests that what matters more to learners is improving their intelligibility in English pronunciation rather than aiming for near native accents. English teachers are encouraged to develop a pronunciation instruction that suits the learners’ needs and interests without discriminating any model of English. Finally, a conclusion is provided with my argument that ELF model will be a better model to be implemented in the teaching of pronunciation in the English classroom in Indonesia.

Abstract

Teaching English to young learners (TEYL) is different from teaching adults. Children need constant attention and assistance as well as motivating methods to keep them engaged particularly during online learning in the pandemic era these days. This study aims to investigate English teacher’s perception on teaching English vocabulary to elementary students’ by using storytelling method in a virtual environment. The study asked the following question: What is the English teacher’s perspective on teaching English using storytelling virtually during the pandemic? The study interviewed an English teacher of a private school in Bekasi, Indonesia using a semi-structured interview guide. The study found that the English teacher agreed that storytelling is beneficial to use in teaching English for young learners. In addition, the teacher mentioned that there were several issues during the online learning such as unenthusiastic students, students’ limited access to the gadgets, and students’ passive involvement during the learning. Further, in terms of teaching with storytelling, the teacher would request the students to make a video and retell stories in the textbook. This study concludes that it is paramount for English teachers to continuously provide varied teaching methods in order to solve problems faced by Indonesian elementary students during online learning.

Abstract

To generate meaningful research, lecturers and investigators have to identify strong, innovative research ideas. However, they often have difficulty with digesting a large number of relevant studies when conducting literature review. The workshop on "Writing a Systematic Literature Review Using New Tools" was intended to provide academics and professors with cutting edge techniques and resources to improve the efficiency and quality of their literature reviews. Participants were provided with tools including Publish or Perish, Mendeley, and Rayyan to help with systematic review processes, reference management, and collecting bibliographic data. The workshop offered information and practical exercises so that attendees could use these tools directly. Participants' comments indicated notable progress in their capacity to organize data, carry out systematic evaluations, and efficiently pinpoint research gaps. Most attendees gave the course high marks for efficacy; most of them scored between 4 and 5. This favorable response highlights how well the workshop improved the participants' research abilities and tool competency, which raised the standard for academic research and publishing.

Abstract

This paper discusses the EFL lecturers’ views on plagiarism following their exposure to two distinct educational environments, their home university and Western universities. While existing literature has examined lecturers' views on plagiarism, there is a scarcity of research specifically investigating the perceptions of Western graduate lecturers and the influence of these perspectives on their pedagogical approaches. The present study aimed to address two research inquiries: 1) How did Indonesian EFL lecturers' opinions on plagiarism evolve between two academic communities over time? 2) What were the impact of the participants’ shifting views on their existing educational practice? The research employed semi-structured interviews as the primary method for data collection. Data were collected through interviews with a sample of nine EFL lecturers affiliated with a state academic institution in Indonesia. The findings indicated that the lecturers' views on plagiarism have undergone a shift due to their experiences studying abroad. This study suggests that the participants’ views has been shaped not only by the Western culture, but also by their own cultural backgrounds, such as religious beliefs. In terms of pedagogical practice, educators have transferred their understanding of plagiarism to their students by implementing their preferred pedagogical practice as well as consequences of plagiarism. This study highlights the need for Indonesian educators and policymakers to adapt Western perspectives on plagiarism to the Indonesian context. The adoption of Western perspectives may not align with the current academic context, highlighting the need for reform in pedagogical practice and cultural awareness. Policymakers should reassess the current approach to plagiarism prevention and consider adaptation within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study investigated the differential growth of English proficiency scores among Indonesian pre-service elementary teachers during their first year of study using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The study involved 34 undergraduate students enrolled in an Elementary Teacher Education program utilizing full English-Medium Instruction (EMI) at a university in Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test from TOEFL ITP practice sets. The tests were administered in the beginning of semester one and at the end of semester 2, while qualitative data were obtained through online questionnaires distributed after the post-test, exploring students’ English use habits and learning experiences. The quantitative findings revealed that students’ average English scores increased from 416.12 to 437.56, indicating a progression from CEFR A2 to B1 proficiency levels. However, the growth patterns across subskills were uneven, with Structure and Written Expression demonstrating the greatest growth while Listenign Comprehension showed the least improvement. Interestingly, the qualitative findings revealed an apparent discrepancy as many participants perceived listening as the skill they had improved the most.  Qualitative results indicate that grammatical gains were driven by the students' emerging professional identity, an awareness of their future role as teachers in international schools. The study concludes that while current institutional and digital scaffolds enable students to navigate the linguistic demands of the program, sustainable growth in communicative subskills requires a pedagogical shift from passive input toward interactive classroom discussions and systematic lexical support.

Abstract

This Community Service aims to help enhance the writing skills of female educators and help them prepare the documents needed for further studies. For this reason, female educators such as lecturers and teachers from various regions in Indonesia were invited to attend virtual tutoring through the Zoom platform. This training and mentoring activities were carried out in several meetings and delivered by several resource persons regarding the techniques of writing opinion essays and supporting documents such as study objective and personal statement, needed to continue studies, especially at foreign universities. Nevertheless, despite having received a positive response from the participants, this training was still limited only to the introduction of opinion essays and structure in essay writing and only concerned with writing study objective and personal statement. Therefore, the recommendation for the following programs is providing training that discusses other types of essays on the IELTS test and other skills needed to improve the English competence of Indonesian female educators. In addition, other writing workshops for female educators are also necessary for postgraduate studies in the future. Keywords: Postgraduate Studies Mentoring, Female Educators, Opinion Essay Writing
