Abstract

Due to terrorism and muslim discourse, Islamic outfits receive negative images by other muslims. Therefore, there is a need to engage muslim university students with critical reading literacy to situate morality. Through the task, the students play two important roles: text participants and text analysts. In this study, cartoons were used as materials for exercising critical reading and eliciting students’ responses to beliefs, values, identities, and ideologies inherent in the cartoons. Anchoring in Critical Discourse Analysis through semantic and critical practices, the participants involved in stages of exercising critical literacy on cartoons as an attempt to situate Islamic morality. The tasks enable learners to sharpen their understanding of how the society works as different systems and to invigorate their self-view on the awareness that human constantly changes identity. The results of the study reveal that the task enables learners to reflect, react, and posit themselves as muslims and global citizens.

Abstract

Abstract This paper offers a solution to Indonesia’s mission of investing EFL listening materials with character education in higher institutions. The character is seen as a dimension of content competence, namely attitude. Developed by using Content-Based Instruction approach, the alternative view is reflected through listening materials design to target strengthening moral values, principles, and attitudes. The framework argues that listening materials should accommodate the need to tailor materials for teaching, rather, than for assessment. It also responds to the ubiquity of English as a Lingua Franca. It argues that the investment of character education leads to learning targets that allow students to become concerned, informed, and involved in developing themselves as citizens, and to respond to 21st-century language competences, especially in the ability to embrace cross-cultural understanding and in the use of digital technology in classroom language learning. The proposed framework is offered as decisions made on the materials’ resources, method of development, activities, and assessment.   Abstrak Artikel ini menawarkan solusi terhadap misi Indonesia untuk berinvestasi pendidikan karakter di dalam materi ajar Listening untuk pembelajaran di pendidikan tinggi (universitas). Karakter dimaknai sebagai kompetensi isi yaitu perilaku. Rancangan materi ini dikembangkan dengan menggunakan pendekatan berbasis isi (Content-Based Instruction). Kerangka rancangan alternatif ini bertujuan untuk menguatkan nilai-nilai moral, prinsip, dan perilaku. Dengan kerangka berfikir bahwa materi Listening seharusnya dibuat untuk tujuan belajar (learning) daripada untuk asesmen semata-mata, maka materi ajar harus mengakomodasi pola ini.

Abstract

Akhir-akhir ini, banyak mahasiswa jurusan Satra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Jember yang enggan untuk berbicara menggunakan bahasa Inggris baik di dalam maupun di luar kelas. Hal ini disebabkan karena mereka merasa bahwa kemampuan bahasa Inggris mereka kurang. Peneitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki bagaimana keyakinan mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan berbahasa Inggris, mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara efikasi mahasiswa dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan prestasi mereka dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris dan untuk mengeksplorasi sumber- sumber yang mempengaruhi efikasi mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini melibatkan 92 mahasiswa Sastra Inggris Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Jember, tahun ajaran 2012/2013 dan menggunakan dua jenis kuesioner untuk mengumpulkan data. Kuesioner pertama digunakan untuk mencari nilai efikasi mahasiswa dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris yang meliputi kemampuan fonologis, kosa kata dan grammar, sementara kuesioner kedua digunakan untuk menjaring jawaban per-individu mengenai sumber-sumber efikasi tersebut. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan nilai kemampuan berbahasa Inggris untuk mencari korelasi antara keyakinan efikasi mahasiswa dan prestasi mereka dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris menggunakan penghitungan Korelasi Koefisien Pearson. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada 11 siswa yang memiliki efikasi diri yang tinggi terhadap kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris, 65 siswa dengan efikasi sedang dan 16 siswa dengan efikasi rendah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, efikasi terhadap kosa kata dan tata bahasalah yang berpengaruh dalam pembentukan efikasi diri yang rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya akses dan latihan yang dijalani mahasiswa mengingat mereka belajar bahasa Inggris di lingkungan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing. Penelitian ini juga menemukan korelasi positif lemah (r = 0.437) antara efikasi mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan berbicara dalam bahasa inggris dan prestasi berbicara bahasa Inggris mereka. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang kurang konsisten antara dua variabel tersebut. Dan yang terakhir, ada empat sumber utama efikasi diri yaitu prestasi masa lampau, prestasi semu, dorongan sosial dan keadaan emosi yang bervariasi berdasarkan perbedaan individu masing-masing mahasiswa. Kata Kunci: Efiksasi, kemampuan berbicara, korelasi koefisien pearson ABSTRACT In recent years, many students of English Department, Faculty of Letters, Jember University are reluctant to speak English.

Abstract

This research reported the types, as well as the causal factors of writing anxiety experienced by 44 volunteered Indonesian student writers from the first and second year of college. This research applied two questionnaires to get descriptions of types and causal factors of writing anxiety; Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) and Causes of Writing Anxiety Inventory (CWAI), and interview. The findings show that cognitive anxiety is found to be the most experienced type of writing anxiety among both students’ levels. There is a slight difference in the result of CWAI questionnaire in that three major causal factors of freshmen writing anxiety are language difficulties, time pressure, and insufficient writing practice. Meanwhile, the causal factors of sophomores are insufficient writing practice, language difficulties, and insufficient writing technique. These suggest that classroom instructions need to gear on improving students’ linguistic capabilities and writing techniques through modeling.

Abstract

This article reports on the discussion of linguistic landscape in the course of tourism peripheries. The central aim is to unravel the salience and visibility of language practices manifested in the shop-fronts in Bali tourism peripherals. Drawing on Bourdieu’s language as social power (1983; 1993), presentation-of-self (Goffman, 1963; 1981), and good-reasons perspective (Boudon, 1990) we explore the language choices made by the local shop owners and the principles driving these choices. The findings conclude that English is the dominant language Bali tourism peripheries, and it is driven by the perceived power attributed to English and the economy benefits associated to English; the principle of presentation-of-self is not prioritized. We argue that local shop owners’ perception of targeted clients is the determining factor influencing it. Mandarin language need to be present more to cater the Chinese tourists for they constitute a big portion to the body of international tourists in Bali.

Abstract

This research explores how English is used in the expanding circle: tourism areas in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Although Bahasa Indonesia is the official language used, this does not mean that other languages will have a little share in the linguistic landscape. The total data used were 519 signboards which were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. This research found that in monolingual boards, the use of English was 23.7%, and Indonesian was 73.5%. The magnitude of the use of English, which is close to as salient as the use of Bahasa Indonesia, is particularly shown on the bilingual and multilingual signboards. This study highlights discussion on the representation of power of English in the investigated signboards, which was shown from the number of appearance and combination of English and other languages in the signboards. It is revealed that English is expressed not only for informative reasons but also for symbolic reasons such as indexing sophistication, cosmopolitanism, and fashionable appearance.

Abstract

This study presents results on learners’ motivation in English reading classroom where English is a foreign language. Motivation is seen to have two categories; intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Seven constructs comprising motivation are sought and explained through questionnaire and interview. Some interesting findings are that in classroom context, when learners read, it  is meant to be an assignment not a necessity. Friends hold an important motivational trigger to arouse and further arguably maintain willingness to read. Meanwhile teachers are potentially considered to arouse extrinsic motivation making teachers need to create such atmosphere to spark intrinsic motivation through classroom activities. Keywords: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, L2 reading

Abstract

Due to the global scale of English use, English as a lingua franca (ELF) is at play. Given this reality, exposes to different varieties of English rather than a single variety of English, preparing second language learners to Englishes is paramount for readiness to involve in ELF communication. This paper reports on the classroom instruction of exposing college listeners with Englishes via TED talks using a portfolio to find out how they see these varieties and what they can learn from them. Data were from records of portfolio and questions at the end of the instruction. Using general inductive analysis, there were three lessons learned from the instruction. Acknowledgement of many models of English, Englishes can be the ‘right’ English, and Englishes as a marker of identity were lessons observed to appear from the Englishes exposure. The exposes to Englishes also brought about complexities of wholehearted adoption to Indonesian accent. Pedagogical implications for classroom instructions are also made.

Abstract

During the past few years, an increasing number of international students from Thailand have come to Indonesian campuses to pursue their undergraduate degree in the departments they selected, including in the department of English. What is it like to learn to speak English as international students in the context of English as a foreign language? As they come from a country where English is taught and learnt as a foreign language, what challenges they face in relation to speaking? The study reported the anxiety experiences of five international students from Thailand as they engaged in English use and learning situations in Indonesia. Drawing on a narrative inquiry method, the results revealed that self-esteem, social environment, fear of making mistakes, the formal classroom environment, social status and self-identity, cultural differences, presentation in the classroom, and the university admission system were reasons for their language anxiety. The study also offers insights into how international students who learn English in Indonesia can be better supported during their stay in Indonesia as a host country.

Abstract

Based on the premise that teachers are at the forefront of global multilingual cultural awareness agencies, the research on their views toward English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) concepts is critical. This study investigated the attitudes and beliefs of 120 in-service secondary teachers toward ELF in Indonesia. It employed a mixed-method design. Research data was collected using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Thematic coding analysis was used to interpret qualitative data. The results indicated teachers' positive changes in attitudes and beliefs in five ELF categories: the presence of multilingual characters and pronunciation model used in the classroom, learning goals, the roles of language and culture, and the language used in the classroom and the assessment. Challenges to welcoming the ELF perspective in classroom practices identified in the study were government policy, parental support, and individual teachers' reflection on the current position of English in the global discourse, primarily since beliefs on the superiority of native English speakers were found to be strong. This study suggests that teachers’ awareness in designing sensitive instructions and materials to welcome lingua cultural varieties would improve the understanding of transpiring changes in the global sociolinguistic landscape. Government intervention is called for to provide cheaper and more accessible materials representing English variations.
