Abstract

This paper identifies the challenges of fostering students’ learning autonomy and teachers’ roles in supporting them. Thirty-one English major students participated in the study conducted in an Extensive Listening class. They were expected to plan their own learning (learning objectives, strategies, activities) and be responsible with their own learning plan. Every student wrote their self-reflection at the end of the activity to describe their experience, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses of the activities to explore areas of improvement. The analysis of the student’s reflections and the teacher’s observation suggested that most students struggled with the pre-listening activity as they could not identify their own learning objectives and strategies and follow the plan they had previously made before the listening activity. Further, this paper will discuss the result of the student’s reflections on the learning activity and how the teacher should deal with that to find the roles of the teacher in supporting learners’ autonomy.

Peace value is a key to instill learners with good characters. Peace education can readily be integrated into values education as a part of subject through textbook since textbook is mostly used material and every aspect of the textbook has the potential to promote the values. Aiming to explore explicit and implicit messages about peace values in English Textbook for Tenth-Grade Senior High School Students, this study reviews the images of the textbook by revealing the embedded peace values. Critical discourse analysis was conducted to characterize, understand and explain the nature of the textbook’s discourse. The list of peace indicators from Balasooriya (2001) was used to identify kinds of peace values represented in the textbook. The result shows that the contents of peace values, for particularly peace with nature, was seriously under represented while the most represented one is social peace. Consequently, the imbalanced representation of peace values may lead to failure of raising the optimal implementation of the three categories of peace values
