This study aims at describing critical thinking subskills taught by Indonesian EFL teachers in academic writing and explaining how they taught the subskills. This qualitative study used two Indonesian EFL teachers who taught academic writing at one of state universities in Surabaya. Data were collected using observation checklist and field note. The obtained data were analyzed using interactive model analysis. Results showed that there were three out of forty critical thinking subskills that were not taught by the teachers namely providing and selecting the best examples, using credible sources, and maintaining the consistency of tenses choice. Another finding showed that there were seven ways of teaching critical thinking subskills namely individual consultation and feedback, class explanation, peer-feedback, groupwork of ideas construction and discussion, general class feedback, analysis task, and work review and discussion. This study suggests that EFL teachers can use the forty critical thinking subskills in teaching writing through one of the seven ways of teaching found.

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Private English tutoring in Indonesia has become popular due to student demand. In practice, English private tutors mostly graduated from a linear academic background, whether in the English language and literature or education study program. English tutors who graduated from non-linear study programs have the same opportunity to teach English and perform their language-ability. This present study applied narrative inquiry to know how the private tutors’ academic background and learning journey outside formal education shaped their English proficiency. The participants of this study are four private English tutors; two tutors graduated from the English language and education, and the other two graduated from political science, who have been teaching for more than two years and achieved more than 500 scores in their TOEFL. The findings reveal that the tutors’ non-linear academic background and personal life experiences also helped how they could practice their communication skills using English.

The popularity of video games among language learners makes games a potential medium for learning languages. Previous research shows that playing video games, one of which is DOTA 2, can have a positive effect on students' vocabulary acquisition, but it still does not explain what specific vocabulary learning strategies are used. This study explores DOTA 2 players' experiences in acquiring new knowledge and identifies effective strategies for acquiring knowledge in the context of the game. The research method used is a case study research design, as well as semi-structured interviews and observation. The results showed that DOTA 2 players learned new vocabulary through exposure while playing the game, and social interaction was the most emphasized comprehension learning strategy used by the participants. This study provides insight into the effectiveness of DOTA 2 as a language learning tool, especially regarding knowledge acquisition.

Abstract. Metacognitive awareness has been recognized as a predictor of learning outcome, especially in tertiary level of education, and particularly in second and foreign language teaching and learning of writing. This component is crucial for EFL students whose first language is not English. In order to fulfill the demands of their own academic careers and future studies, there is a rising requirement for students to acquire more in-depth topic knowledge and to improve their text-analysis, planning, monitoring and evaluation skills. However, few studies have been conducted to examine metacognitive awareness in relation to argumentative writing. This study reports a quantitative study that investigates the correlation between EFL students’ metacognitive awareness and argumentative writing performance. Data collected in this study include a questionnaire and argumentative writing scores. Participants were 30 EFL students at one of the universities in Indonesia. The findings reveal that students’ metacognitive awareness is at an intermediate level while it was statistically insignificant that a relationship between their metacognitive awareness and their argumentative writing performance. The results suggest urgent action from EFL teachers and stake-holders to seek a feasible solution to foster students’ implementation of their metacognitive awareness into their writing and other language skills.Keywords: Argumentative writing, correlational study, EFL students, metacognitive awareness.

This article discusses the political rights of former inmates to run for candidates for a mayor. This article is the result of an analysis of the decision of the Constitutional Court. No. 42/PUU-XIII/2015 which gives political rights to former inmates to run for a mayor candidate. Basic consideration (ratio decidendi) of the decision of the Constitutional Court namely; the right to vote and to be elected by a person can only be withdrawn on the basis of a court decision not in accordance with the provisions of law; a person who has served the sentence and left the prison is essentially a person who has repented and regrets his actions, so it is not appropriate to be given further punishment through the provisions of the law which prohibite the candidacy in the election of regional head. On that basis, the Constitutional Court granted the right to former inmates to run for regional heads. The Constitutional Court ruling has a legal effect on former prisoners who were previously not allowed to run for regional head candidates. Following the verdict of the Constitutional Court the right of prisoners has the same right to run in elections.

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is a new breakthrough in the business world by relying on information and communication technology. The impact of this industrial revolution also occurred in Indonesia. In the aviation industry for example, ticket booking can be directly purchased via mobile phone. The rapid growth of the national aviation industry makes competition between airlines occur ranging from services to ticket prices. This research uses normative research methods, namely using legislation approaches and conceptual approaches on the concept of conspiracy and cartels by analyzing potential cartels against rising airfares. Business competition methods if done healthily will benefit both consumers and businesses / producers, but unfair business competition can give birth to monopolies and cartel practices. Cartels are considered criminal acts accompanied by criminal fines and/or confinement. The Business Competition Supervisory Commission responded to these allegations by conducting an investigation that was previously only within the limits of research, in the process of investigation must look for at least two tools of evidence to advance to the filing stage then proceed to court.
