Abstract

Listening merupakan salah satu mata kuliah yang dianggap sulit untuk diajarkan. Fakta tersebut merupakan hasil temuan penelitian yang dilakukan secara luring. Oleh karena itu, pengajaran Listening secara online bisa jadi lebih sulit mengingat yang harus disiapkan bukan hanya kompetensi mengajar secara umum dan perangkat pembelajaran yang rutin disipakan tetapi juga kompetensi digital dan ketersediaan perangkat pendukung yang memadai untuk bisa terlaksananya pengajaran daring tersebut. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kesiapan dosen dalam mengajar mata kuliah Listening secara daring pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus yang melibatkan dua orang dosen Bahasa Inggris di salah satu universitas negeri yang ada di Indonesia. Data dari hasil angket, wawancara dan observasi menunjukkan bahwa semua partisipan tidak siap untuk mengajar Listening secara daring. Banyak kendala yang mereka temui dan proses pembelajaran tidak berjalan efektif. Temuan dari hasil penelitian ini bisa dijadikan rujukan bagi pihak terkait untuk bisa membenahi infrastruktur dan menyediakan pelatihan-pelatihan yang memadai bagi para dosen.

Abstract

Berbagai penelitian tentang teknologi dan implemenatasinya telah dilakukan di bidang pendidikan, namun masih sedikit penelitian tentang penerapan teknologi digital untuk pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang dilaporkan. Penelitian naratif ini bertujuan untuk menceritakan kembali kisah seorang guru bahasa Inggris menghadapi hambatan dalam menggunakan teknologi digital di kelas dan mengungkap peluang penggunaan teknologi digital untuk pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di kelas EFL selama era pandemi. Peneliti menggunakan wawancara semi terstruktur dan observasi untuk mengumpulkan data. Partisipan dalam penelitian adalah seorang guru bahasa Inggris yang berpengalaman di sebuah SMA di Indonesia. Penyelidikan naratif dengan analisis tematik diterapkan untuk menganalisis data wawancara. Hasil analisis data mengungkapkan bahwa penerapan teknologi digital merupakan proses yang rumit dengan hambatan eksternal seperti masalah teknis, waktu yang tersedia, dan hambatan internal, termasuk literasi digital dan tantangan menciptakan pembelajaran yang bermakna. Namun, penerapan teknologi digital juga memiliki peluang seperti peningkatan motivasi, ruang kelas yang menyenangkan dan fleksibel, serta peluang untuk mengembangkan produk multimoda. Temuan ini bermanfaat bagi guru Bahasa Inggris di negara berkembang yang selalu bersinggungan dengan penerapan teknologi digital di kelas terutama pasca pandemic dimana teknologi sudah menjadi bagian penting dalam pembelajaran.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi siswa terhadap integrasi kearifan lokal Maluku dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris siswa menengah pertama. Kualitatif deskriptif menjelaskan perspektif 45 siswa dari SMP Kristen Kusu-Kusu Sereh Ambon yang berasal dari berbagai suku di Maluku. 10 pernyataan diberikan kepada siswa menggunakan angket untuk mendapatkan tanggapan siswa terkait dengan tujuan penelitian ini. Temuan dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa mayoritas siswa memiliki kemampuan yang kuat untuk menangkap informasi baru dengan cepat dan proaktif dengan memasukan unsur kearifan lokal sebagai materi ajar bagi mereka untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dalam hal bagaimana membuat papeda (makanan pokok khas Maluku). Mereka pun percaya diri dengan kemampuan mereka untuk menanggapi pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang langkah-langkah pembuatan papeda baik yang ditujukan kepada perorangan atau kelompok. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa keterampilan siswa meningkat dan mereka termotivasi untuk belajar bahasa Inggris. Hal ini dikarenakan mereka belajar mengenai sesuatu hal yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan mereka sehari-hari. Serta penelitian ini dapat menjadi masukan dan rujukan bagi guru dalam memotivasi dan mendorong anak-anak di Maluku maupun daerah lain yang ada di Indonesia untuk dapat memanfaatkan kearifan lokal daerah mereka masing-masing yang dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di kelas yang disesuaikan dengan karakter dan kebutuhan siswa mereka.

Abstract

Beliefs are part of cognition that significantly determine what and how teachers do in their classroom. This study employed a case study to investigate university teachers' beliefs regarding their roles in teaching English listening online. We involved two English listening teachers teaching at a university in Indonesia. The instruments used in this study were an interview and observations. The thematic analysis result of this study reveals that the two teachers have different beliefs about their roles in teaching English listening online. Teacher A believed that she should play roles as a facilitator, a manager, and a motivator. In contrast, teacher B stated that in online listening teaching, the roles he played were as an instructor and a counsellor. In addition, teacher A's beliefs align with her teaching practice, while teacher B's beliefs are incongruent with his teaching practice. Some factors contribute to this mismatch. Finally, recommendations are made for the betterment of online listening instruction

Abstract

This study investigates how the lecturer expresses meaning through visual design and explores the benefit of visual design as one of the multimodality elements for oral communication. This study involved one lecturer in one of the private universities in Indonesia majoring in English education as the participant. The data were taken from the lecturer's video-recorded teaching and interview. Then, the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The finding shows that multimodality is necessary for teaching language. In addition, visual design is one of the multimodality elements that are very beneficial to the spoken communication of the EFL classroom. Using the visual design, the lecturer can deliver material for speaking class effectively; convey the message easily in synchronous and asynchronous learning (ASL) of speaking class; encourage students' confidence in speaking, and help students construct meaning-making in oral communication.

Abstract

Integrated teaching with cultural content has become an interesting issue. However, academic circles have not received much attention regarding the integration of Maluku’s local wisdom in teaching English. Education offers students the best opportunity to get in touch with foreign cultures. However, teaching a foreign language is challenging because teachers not only teach vocabulary and grammar, but teachers also need to teach students how and when to use that language. In other words, learning a language also involves learning about culture. It is important to realize that teaching materials must balance the culture of the target language. It would be useful if it could be used in situations where language is required. One of the things in teaching English that must be considered is material that is relevant to the cultural background of our students because that will make the learning process more meaningful. This paper offers a description of ‘papeda’ as one of Maluku's local wisdom that can be used as teaching material to build students’ character with the principles and moral values from their culture that will prepare them to face the era of globalization. It ends with practical examples and technical guidelines for integrating Maluku’s local wisdom into English teaching materials.

Urban and rural contexts often present different challenges and dynamics in education. There is a gap in terms of infrastructure, resources, teacher training and student backgrounds between urban and rural schools.

Two schools, one from an urban setting and another from a rural setting in Pekalongan, were selected as the research settings. The findings indicate that all four classroom modes (managerial, material, skill and system, and classroom context) are present in both urban and rural school lesson. Teachers in both settings engage in various interactional features. However, the use of interactional features in urban school needs to be improve to enhance student engagement. The study's significance lies in providing valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers in Pekalongan and similar settings. It highlights the importance of teacher-student interactions in improving English language learning experiences and outcomes for students.
