Abstract

Learning style is one of the factors contributing to students’ success on second or foreign language learning. This present research attempted to identify various learning styles used in learning English by administering Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire ( PLSPQ ) for 121 EFL students at English literature study program. The result of descriptive analysis showed that the overall students’ preferred learning style was found to be auditory (M= 37.5, SD = 4.48). Based on gender differences, a majority of male students were auditory students ( M = 38.6, SD = 4.27)  and most of the female students were observed to have tendency to be in the category of kinaesthetic students (M = 3.69, SD = .49). The individual learning style became the least frequent style used by the students ( M = 35.2, SD = 7.53). The findings contribute to the improvement of teaching practice quality. Educators are recommended to employ various teaching styles and design variety of activities that enable students to activate their own learning styles more effectively.Keywords: learning style, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire ( PLSPQ )

Abstract

This study investigates the application of language learning strategies by different gender of university students. To do so, memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social language learning strategies were investigated. To collect data, the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL; Oxford, 1990) was administered to male and female student. They, then, were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study indicated that students used a wider range of learning strategies and different from those often preferred by their gender. Both female and male often use social strategies while the lowest frequency strategy use both them were different. The results of this study can be useful for language teachers instead of raising their awareness on reducing the gap between the students' language learning strategies and their teaching technique preferences.

Abstract

Along with the increase in the use of digital materials, teachers need to possess skills in creating these materials. Digital photo story videos are among the alternatives to digital materials that are easy to create. However, some teachers still had limited technological skills. A workshop was conducted online for three months from August to November 2020. This workshop trained some participants in creating digital photo story videos as learning media. The participants consisted of twelve secondary school teachers of English from different districts in East Kalimantan.  Data were gathered from discussions, reflections and outcomes of the workshop. The results revealed some indicators of teachers’ development, not only in teachers’ technological skills but also in some other domains. The participants gained new knowledge regarding simple technology for creating videos, and their understanding of the TPACK framework was also detected. They were able to operate the software applications introduced, and created the digital story videos successfully, despite a few technical problems.  In addition, they showed their initiative to explore new applications to upgrade their videos, and intention to learn more about video editing. Effectively, their attitude towards the workshop and their videos was positive, and socially, they confirmed that their networking expanded as they met and worked together with colleagues from different districts. This study has added the existing evidence that teachers should enhance their technological skills to keep up with the rapidly changing world. Future researchers are advised to see the after-workshop effects of such a workshop on its participants’ teaching practice and professional development.

Abstract

In the context of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT), this study is conducted to investigate how learning from home impacts Vocational High School students and how their success in English is linked to their well-being, particularly their satisfaction with fundamental psychological needs. To ensure the robustness of the study, questionnaires assessing Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction, Self-efficacy, and socio-economic factors underwent validation through AMOS software. Notable differences in achievement across eight majors were examined using a one-way ANOVA. The connections among socio-economic factors (such as gender, parental background, and gadget availability), Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction, Self-efficacy, and students' achievement were delved into through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that all student factors, with the exception of Self-efficacy, exerted a significant impact on achievement. It is noteworthy that Self-efficacy exhibited a negative impact, while the presence of gadget availability had the most pronounced positive effect. Interconnections among all these factors were also observed. In summary, the study highlights the influence of various factors, such as socio-economic background and psychological well-being, on the English achievement of Vocational High School students during ERT in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The encouragement of students to focus on their well-being, consideration of their family background, and ensuring access to gadgets are deemed critical for achieving better English scores. Future studies can delve deeper using qualitative data and different analysis methods. The inclusion of perspectives from teachers, principals, or parents, coupled with the utilization of standardized English tests, could provide a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

Project-based Drama Learning (PBDL) is a learning model designed for both language learning and language teaching. In this case, PBDL gives a positive contribution to students’ language engagement and development. It provides a natural context for learning English. They learn not only the language that existed in the drama or the novel they read, but also the spontaneous language they use when they are doing their project. Referring to the significant contribution of PBDL and the urgency in helping pre- service English teachers at the English Department, Mulawarman University to perform well in their speaking, therefore the researcher intends to replicate the implementation of PBDL conducted by the previous researchers in the researchers’ English Drama course. The participants of this study were 27 students who enrolled in the researchers’ English Drama Course. This study was experimental. Speaking anxiety questionnaire was used by the researcher to find out students’ speaking anxiety level before and after the PBDL was implemented. Paired samples t-test was conducted to compare the level of speaking anxiety of students before and after PBDL was implemented. There was no significant difference found in students’ speaking anxiety levels before and after the treatment. Further investigation using different design and instruments needs to be carried out in order to reveal the insignificant effect of PBDL in reducing students’ speaking anxiety.

Abstract

Successful foreign or second language instruction involves individual learning differences as important variables observed among students. Out of many variables, learning strategies and anxiety are highlighted to be major concerns influencing grammar achievement. This paper sought to examine whether learning strategies and anxiety reported by EFL students influencing grammar scores. Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaires were administered to fifty-nine student samples. Path analysis was used to map the relationship model of the variables in this study. The statistical analysis revealed that the influence of learning strategies and anxiety on grammar score was 0.063 or 6.3%. This implied that 93.7% of students’ grammar score was influenced by other variables. The statistical analysis also showed that there was a negative correlation between learning strategies and grammar scores (r = -200, p<.05). Similarly, a negative correlation was also seen in anxiety and grammar score (r = -146, p<.05). The findings contribute to improve the quality of teaching grammar and provide recommendation for future studies in the area of teaching and learning grammar in the EFL context.

Abstract

This study reports on quantitative study, conducted among 48 English majors, examining the relationship between a language-skill-specific type of anxiety—pronunciation anxiety and motivation. Pronunciation anxiety is presented as a feeling of apprehension and worry deriving from negative self-perceptions, and beliefs. The fears related specifically to pronunciation (Baran–Lucarz, 2014). When motivation is concerned, it has been conceptualized on the basis of the L2 Motivational Self System Model (Dörnyei, 2005), as the desire to reach highest communication proficiency levels nativelike target language accent, represented by the ideal L2 self and ought-to L2 self. The result of the calculation to find the correlation between pronunciation anxiety and motivation were having correlation but not significant. The data from 2 questionnaires which were calculated by using Pearson product moment formula showed most of subcomponents of PMQ and MPA had correlation but not significant, only between pronunciation anxieties to talk outside the classroom with Criterion Measure which had correlation and they were significant. The results showed in the table that Pearson correlation between PA-cl and Criter.Meas were -777*, it meant if the pronunciation anxiety to talk to native and non-native speaker outside the Fl-classroom was high than the strength of desire to achieve target language native-like pronunciation free from L1 influenced would be low. There was correlation but not significant between the level of motivation to reach a target language, represented by the Ideal L2 Self and the Ought to L2 Self of high and low PA students. However, in the level of motivation between high and low PA students to become communicative in the Tl, represented the Ideal L2 Self and Ought to L2 self was found significantly difference.
