It also found that in theclassroom interaction the teachers took their role very good in order to lead the classroomactivity while teaching. The reason underlying why the teachers did those ways becauseteachers believed that by giving the students the genre knowledge of recount text can helpthe student to understand and recognize the recount text; the student will not be engagedby reading text activity if they just asked to read the text; the information about genreknowledge of recount text can help the students in reading comprehension of recount text,and; the competence of the students in mastering the reading recount text can be seenfrom answering the questions related to the text by doing reading comprehension.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a complex process and is influenced by various factors such as environment, nutrition, and social interaction. This study aims to identify language acquisition barriers faced by sixth grade elementary school students in the community. Through qualitative research methods, observations, interviews and reading tasks were conducted with 30 children, fifteen of whom worked part-time after school, and fifteen of whom did not. Findings indicated a significant difference in language acquisition between the two groups, leading to the identification of eight factors that impede language development. These factors included lack of learning activities at home, excessive focus on work or non-academic activities, malnutrition, limited two-way interaction, lack of attention when communicating, excessive gadget use, and low self-confidence. Understanding these barriers provides insights for educators, parents and policy makers to create a supportive environment that encourages effective language development in children.

Abstract

Experiences of events of both direct and vicarious ones are perceived, organized, sequenced and represented in narrative text in coherent structure. An event consist of character, action and setting. The representation of the events in narration is realized in narrative discourse. The coherent text structure is used to narrate sequence of events in various discourse strategies. This structure is also used to understand a narrative texts. Narratives comprises of constituents and supplementary events. The constituent events are causal in the sense that earlier event contributes to the occurrence of the next event that keep the story moving forward. The supplementary events are not causal; they can be removed without disturbing continuance of the story. Supplementary events are responsible for the meaning and impact of the story. If the supplementary events are removed, the meaning and impact of the story decreases. This background leads the research to investigate event modification and find out narrative discourse used to convey the story. To collect the data, the students were assigned to listen to the story of Alibaba with forty thieves, having listened to the story, they are assigned to modify the story, and retold the modified story in written form. The data were analyzed by comparing the original and the modified story based on every aspect of story structure. The results show that the students’ story modification is limited to the modification of characters and supplementary events; constituent events and narrative discourse are retained; no modification was done to the two aspects. This leads to the conclusion that sequences of events are organized, understood and produced in a coherent structure.

Abstract

In digital era, internet, computer, mobile phone, application, ChatGPT, googling, etc. affect education. Googling can translate texts from Indonesian into English and vice versa. It can be used to seek information about linguistics. ChatGPT is able to generate ideas, edit, find main idea, write a summary of English text and do many others. Assessment is useful in providing feedback, developing instructional materials and selecting suitable teaching technique. This paper is intended to describe how Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG), as in-service training program, develop English teachers’ assessment competence and to what extent the program accommodate current digital technology. Fifteen English teachers attending the PPG were taken as participants. Data were taken from the observation transcripts, lesson plans and teaching materials. Assessment theory and digital technology information were used as the data analysis perspective. The study shows that (1) the English teacher’s assessment competence is deviated from linguistic, language learning, and language teaching methods theories, (2) technology product effect on test taker has not yet been considered in the language learning, (3) the teachers’ assessment competence is affected by the PPG’s programs which does not provide them with the knowledge of the interrelationship among linguistic, language learning and language teaching method theories, and which has not yet taken the technology effect on test taker into their training program. In order to increase the teacher’s assessment competence, it is suggested that the PPG should be reorganized by accommodating linguistic, language learning, language teaching methods, and technology effect on assessment.
