Abstract

Recently, there have been a lot of studies examining the effect of the application of flipped classroom model. However, most of the studies focused on students’ achievement without much regard on cognitive styles. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of flipped classroom model on Indonesian EFL students’ writing achievement across cognitive styles (i.e., field dependent and field independent). It involved 58 university students from two intact classes which were divided into experimental and control groups. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to know their writing achievement before and after treatment. The results of the study revealed that the mean score of the students from the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the students from the control group (p < 0.016). This study also uncovered the significantly different interaction of students from each cognitive style.

Abstract

Hedging expression is considered an important interactional metadiscourse device which shows the writer’s/speaker’s degree of confidence in the truth of a proposition and his/her attitude to the readers or listeners in academic discourse. Although considerable research on hedges has been undertaken, there have been virtually no studies on hedges in spoken discourse in educational contexts. To fill this gap, this study aims at describing and comparing the use of hedges by Indonesian ELT students in written and spoken discourses. This study is descriptive qualitative in nature. The research subjects were 20 ELT graduate students registered in 2015 at a state university in East Java, Indonesia. The sources of data were the students’ thesis proposals and thesis proposal presentations, particularly the ‘background of the study’ section. As such, the study used a corpus-based approach which utilized concordance software, i.e. AntConc (3.4.4), to examine the frequency of hedges based on types. The use of hedges was categorized on the basis of hedges taxonomy adapted from Salager-Meyer (1994) and Hyland (2005). The findings of this study revealed that (i) in terms of types and frequency, the patterns of the use of hedges types (from the most to the least frequently used) by ELT students in both corpora were almost similar: WD: S–Ap–Em–Ex–Ch, and SD: S–Ap–Ex–Em–Ch (see Table 2 for legends); (ii) ELT students employed more hedges in written discourse than in spoken discourse; and (iii) approximately 65% of hedges variants provided in the taxonomy were employed by ELT students in written and spoken discourses. On the basis of the results of the study, the discourse mode (written or spoken) can be a factor that affects the use of hedges in academic discourse.

Abstract

Previous studies revealed that genre awareness and reading habits partially correlate with reading comprehension. This article reported the results of a study aiming to find out the contribution of genre awareness and reading habits towards the development of students’ comprehension of reading English texts. The participants of this study were 68 students of the Department of English of a state-owned university in East Java, Indonesia, in the 2020/2021 academic year. These students took the three reading courses (Intensive Course, Basic, and Intermediate Reading courses) and were assumed to have been familiar with genres and have developed some reading habits. This research employed a correlational design, involving two predicting variables (genre awareness and reading habits), and one response variable (comprehension). The data were gathered using three instruments: an objective test to measure students’ genre awareness, an online questionnaire to identify students’ reading habits, and an objective test to measure students’ reading comprehension. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis aided by SPSS/PASW Program. The results showed that the data are normally distributed so that conclusions can be drawn accurately that genre awareness and reading habits partially and significantly contribute to reading comprehension. The results also indicated that genre awareness and reading habits simultaneously and significantly contribute to reading comprehension, as shown by the results of the analysis that genre awareness and reading habits contributed 0.203 or 20.3% to reading comprehension. The rest (79.7%) was attributed to other variables outside the variables under study. This study concludes that good genre awareness and good reading habits help students develop good reading comprehension. The results provided in this paper can be used by English teachers as an alternative to help their students improve their genre awareness and cultivate good reading habits.

Abstract

Abstract: In English classes, young learners are mostly put into intensive reading sessions as the main menu where the focus of the session is on young learners’ academic achievement. As a result, it is far from promoting reading English for pleasure. Like other skills in life, young learners learn to read by reading. The more they read, the better their reading competence will be. The better they read, the more enjoyable they find the reading activity. These paradigms function as the basis of pro-viding young learners with various reading materials to read and enough time to spend for reading. This study aimed at developing English supplementary reading material to support young learners to enjoy some reading activities. The Research and Development (R & D) procedure was employed to perform the whole process of the development and validation. With the reading material developed available, young learners are supposed to enjoy reading their own choice at their own pace as they are put into a free voluntary reading program. As a result, young learners have shifted their negative mindset about reading activity. Key Words: english supplementary reading cards, free voluntary reading program Abstrak: Dalam kelas bahasa Inggris, sebagian besar pelajar pemula dimasukkan ke dalam sesi mem-baca intensif, dengan fokus pada prestasi akademiknya. Akibatnya, jauh dari tujuan untuk mengenalkan membaca bahasa Inggris yang menyenangkan. Seperti keterampilan hidup lainnya, pelajar pemula belajar membaca bacaaan. Semakin banyak yang mereka baca, akan semakin baik kompetensi membaca mereka. Semakin baik mereka membaca, lebih menyenangkan mereka melakukan aktivitas membaca. Paradigma ini berfungsi sebagai dasar untuk menyediakan pelajar pemula dengan berbagai bahan bacaan untuk dibaca dan menyediakan waktu yang cukup untuk membaca. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan bahan bacaan tambahan berbahasa Inggris untuk mendukung pelajar pemula agar menikmati kegiatan membaca. Prosedur Penelitian dan Pengembangan (R & D) dipakai untuk se-luruh proses pengembangan dan validasi. Dengan tersedianya bahan bacaan yang telah dikembang-kan, pelajar pemula seharusnya menikmati kegiatan membacanya dengan pilihan dan kemampuan mereka sendiri karena mereka dimasukkan ke dalam program membaca bebas secara sukarela. Akibat-nya pola pikir negatif mereka tentang aktivitas membaca telah bergeser.Kata kunci: kartu bacaan bahasa Inggris pelengkap, program membaca bebas dengan sukarela

Abstract

Abstract: Flipped-classroom strategy, as the name suggests, flips the conventional teaching and learning process. In a flipped classroom, students learn the materials at home in an online platform (out-class) and then they learn more through discussion with their peers in the classroom (in-class).

The result shows that the activities were able to help students to learn and improve their academic writing. In addition, students also gave positive responses to the use of teaching media and peer feedback sessions.Keywords: students’ perceptions, flipped-classroom strategy, Google Classroom, academic writing
