Abstract

The research observed the role of the first language (L1) use in the second language (L2) classrooms in various Englishlanguage teaching (ELT) contexts. Among the many roles that L1 use played in L2 classrooms, which had been recognized, some drawbacks interfered due to unbalanced uses of both L1 and L2. To complement insightful findings presented in the existing literature on this L1 use topic, the research aims to explore L1 uses in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) L2 classrooms in a teacher training program in Indonesia. Applying a qualitative research approach, the research collected data from three English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher educators teaching an English speaking subject in an Indonesian university using a semi-structured interview protocol and a classroom observation fieldnote. Results show that all the participants share the same views on L1 in their L2 classrooms that its use is tolerated and mainly related to cognitive and pedagogical aspects. The research suggests that formal training seeking to arouse awareness on the role that L1 can play in L2 classroom is of necessity in the context of the EFL teacher training program in order to foster learners’ optimal L2 output.

Abstract

The study reported in this article sought to explore teacher educators’ (TEs) perceived goals in teaching English oral communication in an English Education Program in Indonesia. Using a case study method, data for the present study were collected from all TEs teaching English speaking and listening subjects. A semi-structured interview protocols were carried out in English and Indonesian languages. All interview transcripts were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a thematic analysis method. The findings indicate that many of the TEs stress production when teaching oral communication. When asking about the purposes of teaching speaking or listening, they rarely mentioned any expectations that their PSTs would be independent and knowledgeable when dealing with oral communication breakdowns.  Yet, this does not necessarily suggest any problems with TEs’ teaching practices and may instead indicate limited opportunities for PSTs to learn how to deal with oral communication breakdowns in the classroom. The findings of this study, thus, shed lights into current understanding of how teacher educators in Indonesia engage in the preparation of school English teachers’ candidates in the domain of oral communication skills.

Abstract

Writing skill, among the four target language skills, is one of the skills that language learners need to master. In teaching this skill, therefore, teachers should take any effort to help learners write using the language they learn correctly. However, in the context of teaching English in Indonesia, particularly the writing skill, teachers often face challenges. The study reported in this article seeks to identify the challenges experienced by several Indonesian English language teachers in teaching English writing skills at VHS, a vocational high school, in Gorontalo, Indonesia. The participants involved were all English language teachers working at the school. Data were collected using interview and observation, and analyzed by using a thematic analysis method. The findings showed that there were four themes describing the teachers’ challenges in teaching English writing skills. They were teaching technique-related challenges, teaching time-related challenges, linguistics-related challenges, and learning motivation-related challenges. Even though the teachers are able to cope with the challenges, they still need to explore more strategies in teaching, thus the teaching and learning process can run effectively.

Mastering English facilitates students’ preparation for professional job applications. In the context of tourism school, learning the language, therefore, is a must. The study reported in this article explores the difficulties in speaking English encountered by a group of Indonesian learners of English and how they anticipated their perceived difficulties. A qualitative research approach was employed for data collection and analysis. Participants were from a Tourism Department of a university in the Province of Gorontalo, Indonesia, who voluntarily agreed to join in the interview sessions. Findings showed that most participants struggled to communicate in English, particularly when interacting with foreigners. The difficulties include a lack of vocabulary and comprehension of certain accents. In addition, it was found that in anticipating those difficulties, students employed regular English use practices, gestures, and information technology assistance. The study suggests that frequent meaningful English practices in and outside the English classroom should be facilitated, and the use of relevant technological tools for fostering English language practices be promoted.

Abstract

Buku teks merupakan sumber yang tepat dalam membelajarkan nilai-nilai, termasuk pendidikan karakter. Namun, pada tingkat Sekolah Dasar berbasis keagamaan, masih sedikit penelitian yang mengkaji bagaimana nilai-nilai tersebut direpresentasikan di dalam buku teks Bahasa Inggris. Dengan menggunakan analisis wacana kritis, penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana buku teks Bahasa Inggris yang digunakan di sekolah tersebut memuat nilai pendidikan karakter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai yang paling dominan adalah disiplin, bersahabat/komunikatif, serta gemar membaca. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat melengkapi literatur yang ada tentang muatan pendidikan karakter dalam buku teks bahasa Inggris yang dipakai di Sekolah Dasar di Indonesia.

Abstract

This study sought to explore the experience of students majoring in an English Department in taking the IELTS speaking practices, and whether or not they had challenges during the learning process. A qualitative approach was employed, and for collecting data a WhatsApp voice note application was utilized. Three students studying at a university in Gorontalo, Indonesia, agreed to participate voluntarily. The findings revealed that the students experienced different challenges during the IELTS speaking practices, which were grouped into five themes: (1) students prepared themselves in different ways, (2) students viewed IELTS differently, (3) students encountered some problems during the IELTS speaking practices, (4) students had issues in adjusting their answers to the test duration, and (5) students agreed that the IELTS test is important for their future. It was also found that the students still had challenges in practicing the IELTS speaking tests. For instance, they felt nervous, lacked English academic vocabulary, and even worried about using correct English grammar. The study recommends that students need to do more readings and spend a sufficient amount of time practicing with peers, so they could expand their knowledge and structure their responses well. In addition, lecturers can help students by giving authentic IELTS materials and visualizing the example of IELTS speaking tests in the classrooms.
