Abstract

Although written corrective feedback (WCF) is provided to give students information about their writing which intends to help them make improvement, students may have different expectations of how WCF should be delivered. This study was focused on investigating English Language Education (ELE) students’ preferences for the WCF covering the preferences for amount of feedback, writing aspects to focus on, correction techniques, and tones of feedback. A number of 188 ELE students participated in this study. Using mixed-methods design to collect data, the study revealed that the students expected to always have WCF on their errors as they have desire to always make improvement. Having WCF is considered essential as some students had difficulty analyzing errors independently. Besides believing the importance of all aspects of writing, the students mentioned some reasons related to their weaknesses that require focuses on all feedback. Most of the students preferred direct feedback and indirect feedback with location and indication of error types as they valued detailed feedback. The students saw feedback in negative tone and suggestive tone as the source of improvement, while one in positive tone increased positive feelings towards writing. The findings suggest the importance of increasing the students’ awareness of how to get benefits from different WCF techniques while still accommodating their preferences.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the types of code switching and code mixing between Indonesian and English in Boy William’s speech. The analysis utilizes Macswan's code switching and Musyken's code mixing theories to examine two episodes of 'The Family' reality show on the BW YouTube channel. Direct observation involving transcribing and taking notes on videotaped utterances was applied to analyze code switching and code mixing. The research findings indicated that Intra-sentential code switching was the predominant form of code switching observed in Boy William's speech. He regularly switched languages from English to Indonesian in one sentence to another, and vice versa. Nonetheless, alternation was the predominant form of code mixing that appeared. The phenomena of Indonesian-English in Boy William's speech is recognised as a consequence of conscious choice to embrace a bilingual identity in contemporary life. This study presents an analysis of code switching and code mixing in an Indonesian influencer who comes from a multicultural family. This study is limited to an oriental bilingual participant. Further studies with local Indonesian individuals are necessary to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how the influence of Indonesian-English mixed language impacts the younger generation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research explored the implementation of multiliteracy pedagogy during online teaching in higher education. A qualitative method was used with interviews, observation, and document analysis. Five EFL teachers who taught reading and writing courses were the participants. Findings showed that the teachers utilized strategies in the class during online learning, like integrating students' prior knowledge with the new material, using students' and teachers' center methods, creating strategies to build students' critical thinking, and giving students projects. However, in scaffolding dimensions, some teachers argued that face-to-face learning was the more appropriate way to maximize scaffolding. Adapting the framework of the New London Group (1996), Kalantzis and Cope (2005), and Cope and Kalantzis (2015), the result indicated that five EFL teachers implemented multiliteracy pedagogy by using different strategies: creating an enjoyable environment in situated practice, utilizing many multimodalities in overt instruction, building students' critical thinking in critical framing, and existing knowledge and skills into students' project in transformed practice, and others. Based on the results, several suggestions will be valuable to future researchers: integrating multiliteracy pedagogy into other courses and investigating multiliteracy pedagogy in online and face-to-face learning.

Abstract

The study investigates which of the two summary writing techniques (one using BookSnaps and the other using MS-Word) affects reading comprehension performance better than the other.  It also examines whether or not level of critical-creative thinking skills affects the results. This study used a causal-comparative design. Two groups of students were involved in this study and after the treatment they were tested on their reading comprehension performance across critical-creative thinking skill levels. The results showed that the reading comprehension performance of the two groups of students were not different significantly regardless of the summary writing techniques used. The results also showed that students with high level of critical-creative thinking skill outperformed the students with low critical-creative thinking skill in each of the two groups. This implies that teachers might use either BookSnaps or MS- Word to train the students in summary writing. However, when dealing with students with low critical-creative thinking level, the teachers might give more time in the process of summary writing or give assistance to students who need it when applying either BookSnaps of MS-Word.
