Abstract

This research analyzed speech acts that were uttered in the Validation short film. This study used pragmatics analysis to consider problems in English language learning, focusing on speech acts. This study aimed to classify the speech act in the Validation short film based on Searle's theory and the types of speech acts used in the Validation short film. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The data used in this research included all of the utterances performed in the movie. The data analysis used a pragmatic approach based on Searle's theory. According to the theory, there are five classifications of speech act: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. Searle discusses two types of speech acts: direct and indirect. It was found that the characters engaged in various classifications of speech acts, including representative, directive, commissive, and expressive. Notably, directive speech acts emerged as the most prevalent form employed by the characters. Additionally, direct speech acts were more frequently utilized than indirect ones. Future researchers are expected to conduct such research to analyze other aspects of pragmatics

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy with outlining to enhance students’ writing achievement in writing narrative text. Recognizing the difficulties EFL students face in organizing ideas and the limitations of traditional TPS methods, this study explores whether integrating outlining as a pre-writing activity can improve the quality and structure of students’ writing. A comparative analysis was conducted between students taught using TPS with outlining and those taught using the original TPS method. The study aims to determine if there is a significant difference in writing achievement between the two groups, focusing on aspects such as content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The findings indicate a significant improvement in writing performance among students, suggesting that integrating TPS with outlining can serve as an effective instructional strategy for improving students’ writing skills in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Dogme, a communicative approach, in enhancing the writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) high school students through asynchronous discussions. By integrating Dogme principles, which prioritize student interests and emergent language, the study aims to improve the efficacy of asynchronous discussions in language learning. A quasi-experimental quantitative design was employed, involving a class of high school students who participated in six asynchronous discussion sessions modified with Dogme principles. Data were collected via pre- and post-intervention writing tests, with student writings evaluated across five aspects. The results, analyzed using a Repeated Measures t-test, revealed significant improvement in writing achievement, evidenced by a higher post-test mean score (82.1) compared to the pre-test (69.8), with a two-tailed significance value below 0.05. This enhancement is attributed to students’ ability to choose discussion topics and utilize emergent language, enabling richer content development in their writing. Thus, this study confirms the viability of incorporating Dogme principles into asynchronous EFL teaching methods to boost writing performance.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate the Multiculturally Responsive Teaching (MRT) Instrument to assess the multicultural competence of pre-service English teachers. Multicultural competence is essential in fostering inclusive learning environments, yet there is a lack of standardized instruments tailored to measure this construct effectively within teacher education. The study employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The instrument was designed based on key dimensions of multicultural competence: racism, social class, religious diversity, gender inequality, language diversity, and cultural differences aspects. Data were collected from 335 English Education students across Indonesia, and analyzed using the Rasch Model to assess the instrument's validity and reliability. Findings indicate that the MRT instrument demonstrates high internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.92, a person reliability score of 10.14, and an item reliability score of 5.14, suggesting strong measurement precision. The Person-Item Map (Wright Map) confirms the instrument's ability to differentiate respondents' competence levels, while the rating scale analysis supports the functionality of the Likert scale categories. The classification of item difficulty based on Logit Value Index (LVI) reveals a well-structured hierarchy, ensuring appropriate item calibration. The study concludes that the MRT instrument is a valid and reliable tool for measuring multicultural competence among preservice English teachers. Its application can support curriculum enhancement, professional development, and policy formulation in teacher education programs. Future research is encouraged to expand its implementation in different educational contexts to further validate its effectiveness.

Abstract

Integrating technology in teaching and learning process has been a new phenomenon nowadays. Teachers need to use some kinds of technology in order to move from the conventional way to the new one and reach the learning objective more maximally. In fact, some teachers do not want to use technology in their teaching process because of their limited facilities and knowledge. One of supporting frameworks to this condition is the use of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge or known as TPACK. In relation with it, this paper is intended to investigate English teachers’ perception about the use of TPACK in their EFL learning. The subjects are 10 English teachers who teach in some of Senior High Schools in South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province. The data were gained using questionnaire and interview. Then, it was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The result then indicated that English teachers have good perception toward the use of TPACK in EFL learning.
