Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has forced college students to study using online learning platforms. Therefore, this study focuses to examine the preferred media to facilitate e-learning and the students’ perception in using e-learning as a means of assessment. This study observes students from two private universities in Central Java namely Universitas Ngudi Waluyo and Universitas AKI, Indonesia, who have all taken English for Academic Purposes (EAP) lecture using YouTube and WhatsApp platform. 123 feedbacks were collected, and 17 students were chosen randomly to verify their answers of the questionnaires. The results of this study showed that e-learning using YouTube was preferable for students compared to using WhatsApp Group. The major problem of utilizing YouTube as e-learning was the slow and expensive data plan. The second result pointed out that most of the students or around 63% of the populations were neutral in terms of satisfaction level of online assessment. It could be inferred that this assessment method was acceptable for the students.

Abstract

Listening comprehension in Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) has its own challenges, both in terms of listening and the comprehension process. This article explores aspects of prosody in short dialogues used in listening comprehension tests: duration, pitch, and intensities. The method applied in this research was descriptive qualitative with phonetic approach based on Collins and Mess’s Practical Phonetics and Phonology. A recording from ETS official website, consisting of thirty short dialogs were analyzed to perform the durations and pitch variations with the assistance of voice analyzer, Praat, especially for imaging process of pitch contour and measuring duration. Phonetic transcription showed the assimilation and elision processes occurred as the result of connected speech, while pitch variations tended to show more on attitudinal function, grammatical function, and fewer emphases on significant information. The voice actors performed the speech of General American accents naturally; however the nature of conversation itself would not be realized since this section is designed purposively to examine test-takers ability on semantic and pragmatic area. The duration of the speech is displayed as naturally as possible in the context of everyday conversation so that the perception of listeners who are not native speakers assesses it as rapid speech.
