Myriad studies have conveyed that metacognition is a key to successful reading comprehension in language classes. However, these studies focus on metacognitive strategies, metacognitive awareness, and metacognitive skills in ESL reading contexts. Anchored by the lack of empirical works on the EFL reading situation, this study investigated the metacognitive knowledge of Indonesian undergraduate students in their reading classes. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with four successful and four less successful EFL students. The results of this study portrayed that successful readers encompass more metacognitive knowledge, awareness, motivation, and behavior if compared to the less successful readers. It is also evidence that students with good cognition, habit, and attitude in reading activities are more successful in their EFL reading, and their cognition, habit, and attitude serve as essential elements in constructing their metacognitive knowledge. Suggestions are also discussed at the end of this paper.

This study explores the effect of working memory capacity (WMC) and content familiarity (CF) on EFL reading comprehension. Seventy senior students from a private university in Malang, Indonesia, were involved in the study, having been selected based on their English proficiency of at least pre-advanced level. These students were required to complete a reading span test for the WMC and a multiple-choice reading test based on CF. The findings of this study show that there is no interaction effect between WMC as the main independent variable and CF as the moderator variable; this implies that the students with higher WMC comprehend texts better than those with lower WMC, regardless of whether they are familiar or not with the texts.

Written corrective feedback (WCF) in L2 writing classrooms has gained considerable attention in applied linguistics research over the past twenty years. WCF may take different forms of teacherâ€™s responses to errors in studentsâ€™ texts, among others Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF). A number of research studies on the effectiveness of various types of corrective feedback have been undertaken; however the effect of CCF and NCCF on the quality of studentsâ€™ writing in Indonesian context has not yet been explored. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Coded Correction Feedback and Non-Coded Correction Feedback on senior high school studentsâ€™ writing quality. This study investigated the effect of Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF) on the quality of Indonesian EFL studentsâ€™ writing. It involved 53 senior high school students of 11th Grade. Each student was exposed to two different treatments (CCF and NCCF) and the studentsâ€™ writing quality, after receiving each type of treatments or WCF, was then measured. The effect of each feedback was estimated by comparing the individual studentsâ€™ scores in writing composition after receiving CCF with their scores after receiving NCCF. The result of this study revealed that the quality of the studentsâ€™ writing with CCF was better than that with NCCF. The findings of this study showed that the quality of the studentsâ€™ writing receiving CCF was better than that receiving NCCF because CCF promotes awareness with noticing as well as understanding. Hence, the use of CCF can be considered more effective than NCCF.Â Therefore, it is suggested that CCF be employed in giving corrective feedback to the studentsâ€™ compositions to improve the quality of their writing, and that teachers employ CCF when giving WCF to improve the quality of studentsâ€™ writing.

Research on the impacts of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) on perceptions and practices has been conducted separately. This study attempts to investigate a relationship between the involvement ofÂ Â CPDÂ and the alignment of teachersâ€™ perceptions and practices about effective English teaching to draw a critical link between the relationship and the alignment. This study involved 6 teachers of English as a Second Language in Indonesia. Qualitative approaches of in-depth interviews and observations were the primary data collection tools. The findings indicate a partial relationship between CPD involvement and the alignment of teacherâ€™s perceptions and practices. Specifically, as part of CPD, teacherâ€™s professional enthusiasm is an indicator for a closer alignment in teacherâ€™s perceptions and practices. Implications drawn from this study suggest that greater conscious raising is required to enhance teachersâ€™ professional enthusiasm since it leads to an alignment between perceptions and practices of quality teaching.

Oral communication among global speakers needs good pronunciation to be successful. Regardless of its important function and role, EFL teachers often ignore pronunciation in their language teaching and oftentimes they are very lenient towards mispronunciation, which potentially hampers actual oral communication beyond language classrooms. An exploration into EFL teachers’ teaching beliefs is thus necessitated since such beliefs are mutually capable of influencing their classroom behaviors. In the effort to fill the gap of the previous research, the current study attempted to unveil teacher educators’ beliefs on teaching English pronunciation in Indonesian EFL context as well as to describe in what ways their classroom practices matched their beliefs. A qualitative research design using a semi-structured interview was employed to collect data from three Indonesian teacher educators who were experienced in teaching EFL. Similar findings to prior studies were discovered about their teaching beliefs, with one inconclusive issue remaining about teaching prioritization. Their classroom practices also generally went hand in hand with their underlying beliefs. One noteworthy finding that surfaced was the idea to have a dedicated English class for pronunciation, especially in the context of training prospective EFL teachers.

The change of the status of the National Exam (NE) from high-stakes testing to low-stakes testing inspired the researchers to explore its effects on the teaching and learning of English. This qualitative exploratory study tried to investigate how English teachers taught their students to prepare NE at senior high schools in two different functions by involving six English teachers from three schools varying in the quality in terms of the schools' demography, academic achievement, and facilities. The study was also strengthened by a set of secondary data from the results of the NE in 2015. The result of study involving the six teachers shows that the higher the quality of the schools the less they are affected by the change of the functions of the NE. The result of the analysis involving the secondary data shows that in spite of the change of its function, the NE tends to remain a high-stakes testing.Keywords: High-Stake Testing, Low-Stake Testing, National Exam, English UJIAN NASIONAL DI INDONESIA DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRISAbstrakPerubahan fungsi Ujian Nasional (UN) dari "high-stakes testing" menjadi "low-stakes testing" mendorong penulis untuk melakukan penelitian eksploratif terhadap persamaan dan perbedaan UN dalam fungsinya yang berbeda dengan mengkaji dampaknya pada proses belajar-mengajar mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Penulis mengkaji bagaimana para guru mengajar Bahasa Inggris dalam mempersiapkan para siswa menghadapi UN sebelum dan setelah ada perubahan kebijakan. Penelitian eksploratif ini dilaksanakan dengan mewawancarai enam guru bahasa Inggris dari tiga sekolah yang mutunya berbeda-beda. Wawancara terhadap para guru dilakukan menjelang pelaksanaan UN 2015. Penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan data sekunder berupa hasil UN 2015 yang memperkuat temuan penelitian. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sekolah yang mutunya lebih rendah cenderung lebih banyak terpengaruh oleh perubahan status UN daripada sekolah yang mutunya lebih tinggi dalam hal mempersiapkan para siswanya menghadapi UN. Hasil analisis data sekunder, rendahnya aspek kejujuran dalam UN, menunjukkan UN masih dianggap sebagai "high-stakes testing".Kata kunci: tes beresiko tinggi, tes beresiko rendah, ujian nasional, bahasa inggris
