Abstract

This current research intends to identify and explain the forms of speech acts produced by the teacher in a learning video published on a YouTube channel. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method to respond to the problems studied. The findings indicate that among the various speech acts used, directive speech acts are more produced by the teacher in the video. It can be concluded from the results that 26 utterances produced by the teacher (25.2%) belong to representative speech acts, 52 utterances (50.5%) to directive speech acts, 2 utterances (2%) to commissive speech acts, 23 utterances (22.3%) to expressive speech acts. Directives are mostly produced by teachers inside the classroom while asking and questioning and become the most dominant directive speech acts produced by the teacher. It may happen because, in the learning video, the teacher gives students the opportunity to study a problem and try to solve the problem independently.

Abstract

The challenge faced by teachers today is the lack of skills in developing technology-based media. In facing the demands of an increasingly developing curriculum, teachers need to be given reinforcement in the development of professionalism, including in making digital-based media. Based on the problem, MI Muhammadiyah 2 Kedungbanteng is a school that deserves instructional media training. The obstacles faced include the absence of assistance to develop technology-based media so that the digital literacy of teachers is still low, the absence of school literacy activities through teacher-made media, and the lack of activities that can hone creativity to optimize vocabulary learning. This service wants to make a meaningful contribution to teachers with training activities in developing Canva application-based big book media. The activity is carried out through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stage. In the preparatory stage, the team collected initial information about conditions in school that could support the development of teacher competencies as well as implementation schedules and monitoring and evaluation. Furthermore, at the implementation stage, activities are carried out through material presentation, discussion, and independent assignments. For the monitoring and evaluation stage, the teachers conducted learning using the resulting big book and the community service team observed learning in class. This service was successfully carried out according to plan and made several contributions to strengthening understanding of the material and skills in designing and implementing Canva-based big book. The teachers stated that they were satisfied with this training and hoped to create other media creations in the next training.

Abstract

Studies have shown that during the process of Interlanguage development, language learners cannot avoid making grammatical errors in either spoken or written form. Although it is considered as a normal phase, errors can lower students' confidence to be active EFL learners in the class. Accordingly, they need teachers’ appropriate corrective feedback (CF) to produce effective communication in the target language. Thus, considering the significant contribution of grammar knowledge and teachers' feedback on students' English proficiency, this paper aims to explore the perception of 12 EFL teachers’ practices and 91 students, both of whom are involved in an English writing class, about CF. The instruments used to collect the data was closed- and open-ended questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers vary their CF in terms of frequency and types. In addition, students show a different perspective on the effectiveness of CF in writing class. Also, teachers need to become more familiar with electronic CF in order to implement it better in class including for writing instruction process and promoting peer corrective feedback. In line with these findings, suggestions for future research are provided.

Abstract

Contrary to popular belief that field experience should be held in local settings, teacher education programs currently initiate networking with other countries through the international teaching practicum (ITP) program. Considering the platform’s magnitude, this paper aims to explore the pre-service English teacher’s experiences during ITP to build professional development of EFL potential teachers from various activities abroad. In this study, a narrative inquiry was implemented and supplemented with data obtained from Tina (pseudonym), an EFL pre-service teacher in one of the Indonesian universities who joined a four-month ITP program abroad, particularly in Thailand. In collecting the data, semi-structured in-depth interviews that emphasized five eligibility aspects were used. The findings reveal that the pre-service teacher reaped plenty of meaningful experience from ITP in terms of the classroom situation, the implementation of basic teaching skills, the period of success or failure in teaching, values for EFL teacher candidates in ITP, critical incidents, and students’ general English competence after ITP. This study provides evidence and feedback for the institution for better planning and organization in implementing practicum. Further, it implies equipping student-teachers with sufficient skill and competence related to adaptability, cultural identity, fear, and emotions in facing challenging English instruction in the future through multiple exposures to teaching instruments and supporting situated environment facilities.

This research also managed to expose the participants’ difficulties in composing simple sentences orally and in writing. Although the generalization could not be simply made from this research, the result of the research demonstrated some problems in English language learning at school which made learners could not perform the language on an ongoing basis.

Abstract

Teaching speaking skills is an important part of foreign language learning. This study aims to find out the student difficulties that teachers find when teaching speaking and to find what strategies teachers use in teaching speaking at a vocational high school in Sidoarjo. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The subjects of this research were two English teachers at the vocational high school. Data were collected by conducting observations, interviews, and learning documentation during and after class. The results showed that teacher 1 found difficulties due to lack of motivation, lack of practice, lack of vocabulary, nervousness, low grammar mastery, and pronunciation challenges. To overcome these difficulties, teacher 1 used 9 strategies including role-playing, presentations, describing pictures, telling pictures, discussions, word walls, brainstorming, interviews, and storytelling. Similarly, teacher 2 found lack of motivation, lack of practice, lack of vocabulary, nervousness, low grammar mastery, and pronunciation difficulties to be the causes of difficulties. Teacher 2 also used 9 strategies, with some strategies different from teacher 1. They are role-playing, discussion, storytelling, interview, reporting, playing cards, describing pictures, telling pictures, and brainstorming. Thus, teachers can overcome students' difficulties in speaking by using the strategies used.

Abstract

Developing learning tools is a skill that a teacher needs to master. In this case, learning English requires material appropriate to real-life, called Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) so that the language mastered by students is the language that is applied in everyday life, including the use of songs. Although many studies have explored songs for English language learning, the integration of Islamic songs in English classroom activities has not been widely discussed. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the viewsand practice of prospective English teachers on the integration of Islamic songs. The method used is a qualitative approach involving analyzing online interviews and teaching module documents prepared by prospective teachers. The results show that the consideration for selecting songs expressed by the prospective teacher is based on three orientations, namely pedagogical, psychological, and cultural. Regarding the worksheet design, participants prefer giving fill-in-the-blank format as the main assessment in measuring students' level of understanding. This research implies that CLT is good for EFL class, so the pedagogical knowledge possessed by prospective teachers need to be fostered, particularly in selecting the appropriate content of the song and adjusting it to create various communicative and meaningful activities for EFL learners.
