Abstract

This study investigated the use of i-THINK Mapping in teaching reading comprehension by ESL teachers to a group of Form Five students, and the factors and challenges the ESL teachers faced in teaching reading comprehension using i-THINK Mapping. A qualitative approach, specifically a case study design, was employed in this study. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of their lesson plans were used to collect the data. Four ESL teachers with a minimum of 5-year teaching experience in a rural secondary school in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia, were selected using a purposive sampling technique to participate in this study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from classroom observations and interviews. The findings show that the teachers had applied five i-THINK maps, including a Circle Map to define in context, a Bubble Map to describe, a Double Bubble Map to compare and contrast, a Flow Map to show the sequence of an event, and a Tree Map to classify different ideas. The i-THINK Mapping motivated the students to discuss, brainstorm, and cooperate with their peers to detect the details from the given reading texts. The teachers’ challenges include the time constraints in preparing the lesson with i-THINK Mapping and a low level of student English proficiency. One implication of this study is that teachers’ use of i-THINK Mapping to teach reading comprehension could assist students in generating ideas, expanding ideas, and expressing them orally.

Abstract

There is no clear definition of what constitutes an ideal teacher educator, particularly from the perspective of Malaysian educators. Developing teacher educators’ vision of an ideal teacher ensures that teachers have high levels of professional, personal, and contextual dimensions in teaching practices, including competence in the practice of professional teaching, knowledge, and understanding. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the range of visions of what it is to be a good teacher educator in a Malaysian teacher education institution. Seventeen teacher educators from an established university in Malaysia participated in the study. A survey consisting of eight questions was used as the research instrument. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analysed by using descriptive and textual analysis techniques. The findings reveal certain criteria of an ideal teacher such as possessing sound subject matter knowledge, mastery of both generic and content-specific pedagogy, and hands-on teaching skills. The teacher educators shared that they have to adjust their goals to attain their vision, namely the need to adapt to the current policies, new ideas, and the ever-changing educational trends. The findings also show that an ideal teacher is the one who is responsible to nurture and bring about the best learning experience for students. This research has unfolded the teacher educators’ vision of the ideal teacher and pedagogical implications reflected in every facet of their educational practices.

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system has altered from face-to-face learning to online learning. The sudden pandemic made teachers underprepared either psychologically or pedagogically to teach online learning. Many teachers often faced psychological pressure while preparing for online teaching due to the lack of digital literacy. Teachers now have to overcome pressures for understanding digital literacy. Teachers have issues with: 1) the lack of digital literacy mastery and/or the utilization of digital learning platforms, and 2) the lack of teachers’ ability in creating meaningful learning through the use of digital technology and/or interactive multimedia. By providing the 33 teachers with support and training in digital literacy, those issues could be resolved. The assistance is focused on how to use digital learning platforms and produce android learning and interactive multimedia videos to support the learning process in the classroom. The findings showed that teachers are becoming more knowledgeable about digital literacy, particularly as it relates to the utilization of digital learning platforms and the creation of android learning videos and interactive multimedia learning videos to support the learning process in the classroom. Through the use of digital learning platforms in the classroom, teachers can provide meaningful learning experiences to students and students can actively engage in the learning process. In addition, digital literacy helps teachers increase students’ enthusiasm in the classroom, and students’ autonomous learning.

Abstract

This applied research examines the impact of using English literature supplementary texts to nurture reading habits in Year 8 students. The intervention aimed to increase students' independent reading hours by incorporating engaging literature into the English curriculum. The quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention surveys, revealing a significant 56% increase in independent reading hours after the intervention. This growth indicates that supplementary texts can effectively enhance students' interest in reading outside the classroom. The qualitative data from student interviews and focus groups supported these findings. Students reported greater enjoyment and interest in reading, attributing it to the engaging nature of the supplementary texts. Many also noted improvements in their comprehension and analytical skills. In conclusion, incorporating English literature supplementary texts has successfully nurtured reading habits among Year 8 students. The significant increase in independent reading hours and positive feedback highlight the potential of this approach to foster a lifelong love for reading and improve literacy skills. Future recommendations include continued use of diverse supplementary texts and regular assessments to monitor long-term impacts.

Abstract

The current research investigates the risk-taking characteristics of fourth-semester students at Muhammadiyah University in Semarang and fourth-semester English students at Sanata Dharma University. The participants in this research were 32 fourth-semester students, 6 of whom were second-language students from Sanata Dharma University via Google Fromulir with an English translation written test and Indonesian for the next part of the research. They then received a risk-taking personality questionnaire and a translation test. The research results found that there were errors in sentence structure when translating and incorrect vocabulary. This includes the use of translation models with multiple possible solutions, the development of mediation skills, and the integration of functional linguistics into translation teaching. In addition, this article uses the FAR model, which is an interlanguage translation text quality assessment model that evaluates the quality of translated texts in three areas: functional equivalence, acceptability, and readability. Therefore, EFL students need to master structure and vocabulary to better improve their translation products
