Abstract

Abstract: This article reports a study on the implementation of contextual teaching and learning approach to teaching English writing to second graders of a Junior High Shool in Bandung. The study aims to investigate the strategies of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) (as adapted from Crawford, 2001) and the advantages of using CTL approach. The study employed a qualitative case study research design. The data were obtained from several instruments, namely class observations, students’ interview and students’ writing products which were then analyzed using writing assessment criteria taken from Rose (2007, as cited by Emilia, 2011, p. 151). The findings revealed that the teaching writing program was successful to improve students’ recount writing skill. Specifically, they showed some improvement on schematic structure, grammar roles, and graphic features. Moreover, the data from observation, interview, and documentation of students’ text showed some benefits of CTL. These include: (1) engaging students in the writing activity; (2) increasing students’ motivation to participate actively in the writing class; (3) helping students to construct their writing; (4) helping students to solve their problems; (5) providing ways for students to discuss or interact with their friends; and (6) helping the students to summarize and reflect the lesson. Based on these findings, it is recommended that CTL be implemented in teaching writing.   Keywords: contextual teaching and learning, teaching writing

Abstract

The message of the text should convey readers’ attention and understanding. Thematic progression can be one of the ways to bridge readers’ attention and to provide the coherence between main aspects of the text. Then, coherence shows significant point in determining the text’s message comprehend by the readers. This research therefore aims to analyze the thematic progression occurred in abstracts of bachelor’s degree theses. The occurrence of thematic progression is analyzed based on three patterns of Thematic Progression suggested by Eggins (2004). They are theme reiteration, zig-zag pattern, and multiple-theme pattern. Qualitative discourse study which employed thematic development applied in this research. The data were obtained from abstracts written documentation of bachelor degree thesis students. There were 10 abstracts from students of a Private University in Cimahi. The analysis of thematic progression of the clauses shows that theme reiteration emerges as the most applied thematic progression pattern. It can be seen that 82 times (79%) in the students’ abstract are in form of theme reiteration. Then, in applying zig-zag pattern in Thematic Progression are 14 times (13%). The last, multiple-theme pattern appeared as the last choice of Thematic Progression pattern. It emerged in 8 times (8%) out of 104 clauses. To sum up, bachelor’s degree students need to learn more how to combine the Thematic Progression in writing abstract. It is applied to make each sentence coherence and readable to be read. Based on the findings, it is recommended that theme progression analysis can be applied in academic writing class to give control of text organization while writing abstract or other parts of research chapter.

Abstract

This study investigated the integration of AI tools in an EFL writing classroom and their influence on developing students' critical thinking abilities. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the study lasted six weeks and included 25 university-level EFL students. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and writing task analyses were used to gain insight into how AI technologies help students with idea creation, argument formulation, writing refinement, and highlighting potential obstacles. The study found that AI technologies dramatically improved students' abilities to create cohesive arguments, fix language, and incorporate evidence into their writing. Classroom observations revealed improved involvement and cooperation as students discussed suggestions for efficiently using AI technologies. However, overreliance on AI-generated ideas was observed, particularly among less confident authors. Semi-structured interviews found that, while students liked the tools for lowering anxiety and boosting brainstorming, they understood the importance of balancing AI use with autonomous critical thinking. Writing task studies revealed significant gains in logical thinking and coherence across drafts. This study concerns the potential of AI technologies to improve critical thinking in EFL writing while emphasizing the significance of targeted educational interventions. Future studies should examine long-term effects and different settings to improve AI-supported learning environments.
