Abstract

Haiku, the 5-7-5 syllables of Japanese poetry, has been known widely as a tool to express voice and reflect on what happens to personal life experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to uses Haiku as a learning reflection on the Children’s Literature Class. Two questions were addressed to examine (1) Students’ perception of writing Haiku as a learning reflection and (2) challenges in writing Haiku as a learning reflection. Descriptive case A descriptive case study was used as the research methodology, while 49 students taking children's literature class participated. In data collection, this study used open-ended questionnaires given to all participants, while semi-structured interviews were delivered to 11 representative students. Students’ Haiku also were used as additional data. In addition, the data were analyzed thematically, using the framework of Braun and Clark (2006) and students’ Haiku were analyzed through document analysis. The findings show that students find that writing haiku as a learning reflection is fun and interesting. It also promotes their creativity in writing. However, since Haiku is fixed verse poetry, it does not cover students’ ideas of expressing their experience of learning freely and effectively. Eventually, Haiku still supports creativity, not effectiveness.

Abstract

This study was performed concerning the usage of a blog to ascertain the perceptions of the students regarding the usage of blogs in Extensive Reading (hereafter ER) classes at one of Tasikmalaya’s universities. Braun and Clarke’s Descriptive Case Study Design and Thematic Analysis techniques were used in this study. The primary data source was semi-structured interviews with four participants, transcribed and analysed using Thematic Analysis. This study discovered that blogging has advantages and disadvantages in the ER class. The advantage of using blogs as media in Extensive Reading classes is that blogging is easy to use and can increase student creativity. Furthermore, blogging can increase student motivation to read, serve as a forum for reflection, and increase learning autonomy. However, based on the findings, it turns out that there are some disadvantages to using blogs as media in Extensive Reading classes, such as limited access to blogs, sluggish connectivity for submitting assignments, and causing time-consuming problems. Finally, the research provides information to lecturers so that lecturers can learn about the benefits and drawbacks of using blogs in ER learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary knowledge plays a crucial role in reading comprehension, particularly in extensive reading contexts. However, limited research has explored how Indonesian EFL higher education students employ vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) during extensive reading activities. This study employed a qualitative narrative inquiry approach to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by three first-year undergraduate students from a university in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through narrative frames and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed thematically based on Schmitt’s taxonomy of VLSs. The findings revealed that participants employed a range of strategies, primarily contextual guessing and memory association (cognitive strategies), along with social and metacognitive approaches. One student relied heavily on social interaction, particularly with family, to understand new words. Another participant integrated vocabulary learning with personal interests, such as singing, to enhance retention (metacognitive strategy). All participants reported limited reliance on dictionaries, preferring to infer meaning from context or relate new words to prior knowledge. These findings suggest that vocabulary learning in extensive reading is influenced by learners’ autonomy, motivation, and personal engagement. The pleasurable nature of extensive reading encouraged strategy use that was both adaptive and individualized. Narrative inquiry provided rich insights into learners' thought processes and behaviors during vocabulary acquisition. The study offers practical implications for integrating reflective, learner-centered activities into EFL reading instruction.
