Abstract

Background:This research explores the factors influencing Assessment for Learning (AfL) literacy among senior high school English teachers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, drawing on Alonzo's (2016) comprehensive six-dimensional framework. Examining AfL from a sociocultural viewpoint reveals the multifaceted roles of instructors as assessors, pedagogists, student partners, motivators, learners, and stakeholders (Gipps, 1999; Lave & Wenger, 1991). The expertise of teachers in assessment for learning significantly influences the quality of feedback, reflection, and educational outcomes, making assessment literacy essential for effective teaching.Methodology:This quantitative study employed a validated AfL literacy survey, derived from Alonzo (2016), and was administered to 250 English instructors within the Senior High School English Teacher Working Group in Yogyakarta. We employed Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to investigate the dimensions of AfL literacy and to examine the influence of gender, education, experience, and institutional support on it.Findings:The results showed that educational attainment, teaching experience, and institutional support had a considerable impact on teachers' AfL literacy, while gender did not have a significant effect. Educators with Master’s degrees and over ten years of teaching experience demonstrated enhanced literacy in assessment for learning, particularly in the roles of assessors, pedagogists, and partners with students. Support from the institution enhanced teachers' confidence and sustained their engagement in assessment for learning practices.Conclusion:Transforming conceptual understanding into effective classroom practice requires continuous professional development, support from the school, and regular reflection on practices.Originality:This investigation extends Alonzo’s (2016) framework to the context of Indonesian EFL, systematically identifying demographic and institutional elements that affect AfL literacy, an area that has been rarely examined in educational research within Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Enhancing Students' Speaking Abilities through Paired Storytelling Strategies. This study examined how using storytelling as a teaching strategy affected students' ability to communicate more clearly. The participants included thirty students from SMP Muhammadiyah 3 Yogyakarta, chosen through purposive sampling and split into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received storytelling instruction over four consecutive sessions, while the control group did not. Both groups were assessed on their speaking skills before and after the intervention. Results showed that the experimental group's post-test mean score was 96.0, compared to a pre-test mean score of 72.0. Specifically, the control group's mean post-test score was 64.0, an increase from the pre-test score of 60.0. The oral proficiency scores from each indicator demonstrated that students in the experimental group improved after being taught using paired storytelling, while the control group's scores did not improve. A one-group t-test demonstrated that post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores for both groups, with t-values of -34.708 for the control group and -6.433 for the experimental group, both significant at the 0.000 level, well below the 0.05 threshold. These findings suggest that implementing storytelling in EFL classes can effectively improve students' speaking skills.Keywords: speaking skill, storytelling, improvement.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v14.i2.202473
