Abstract

In this digital age, using technology to teach English has become commonplace. This study focuses on the integration of virtual reality (VR) into vocabulary teaching to young learners. The aims of the study are finding out the teacher's classroom practices, the challenges, and the young learners’ views of VR integration in learning vocabulary. In this study, a case study was applied in conjunction with observation, an open-ended questionnaire, and an interview to uncover the concerns. The respondents were an English teacher and 40 students of fifth grade at SDN 1 Cipanas, Cianjur. Despite the fact that the teacher was able to incorporate VR into her English classroom, there are also some challenges discovered during the practice. School readiness in terms of device availability, teacher’s TPACK level, workloads, teaching media, and classroom managerial skills became the primary issues in the language instruction using VR. Furthermore, the proficiency, characteristics, and quantity of students in the classroom must also all be taken into account. To young learners, on the other hand, learning vocabulary using VR is engaging and entertaining, even if prolonged exposure to the VR lens causes headaches. It is recommended that policymakers pay greater attention to providing more supportive policies and improved facilities for TEYL practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

Learning a foreign language is sometimes difficult since the target language has different elements and rules compared to the native language. When the students apply those elements and rules, it often leads to errors. In this case, when a student is learning a foreign language, the students’ native language will have an impact on the production of the language being learned which is called language interference. This study aims at investigating the types of interference and which type of interference appears more in EFL students’ Indonesian-English translation text. This study involved twenty students of the first grade in a senior high school in Cianjur. It is descriptive qualitative research with the data taken from students’ translation text that were analyzed by using error analysis to point out and describe the interference. The findings show that all participants of this research made errors in their translation text. In this case, four types of error found in the text, those were omission, addition, misformation, and disordering. The differences in the structures between two languages and different proficiency levels of students in target language led the students commited different error types in four error categories. The result of the analysis also shows that there were 413 errors found in the students’ translation text which consisted of 121 omissions (29,29%), 96 additions (22,27%), 156 misformation (38%), and 44 disordering errors (11%).

Abstract

Textbook is learning material that can affect student’s perspective and thinking. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to several things such as gender equality contained in the textbook, either explicitly or implicitly. This paper concerns gender representation in two English textbooks assessed by the National Education Standards Agency and Cambridge University Pers. The framework of systemic functional linguistics proposed by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014) is utilized in this study. The research used a qualitative descriptive analysis focusing on the textual data obtained from the 10 selected texts related with the gender roles of the characters. The result indicates that male was found to be more frequently represented in roles of Participants, Process and Circumstantial. In this case, females are almost invisible and marginalized in both textbooks. Four types of transitivity were found in the first book and they represented male as characters whose activities related to business or industry with high desires, rational and a traveler whereas female represented as characters whose activities related to education and household. The second book contains six types of transitivity process, it is represented male as strength, attentive, talk much and female as a nurturing, beautiful, complaisant and cheerful. In summary, there is unequal representation between male and female in both textbooks.

Abstract

Numerous studies have highlighted the need for competent teachers in today’s classrooms. Many suggest that to meet this demand, the preparation should be stipulated at the pre-service level so, when the graduates become in-service teachers, they are already well-prepared to meet the requirements of competent teachers. This study explores the use of pedafiction stories and reflection to familiarize EFL pre-service teachers with teacher competence. The data were obtained from observation, focus group interviews and reflection papers to be analyzed by using thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2022). Forty-two pre-service teachers were involved in six TEFL class sessions focusing on the topic of English Teacher Competence in the Indonesian context. They read and reflected on the pedafiction stories, shared their reflections on the stories through a pair-share activity, and wrote individual reflections. The findings reveal that pedafiction stories exploration and reflection have enabled the pre-service teachers to identify the English teacher competencies shown by the character in the story. Besides, the pre-service teachers could relate the topic of teacher competence to a broader social context. Pedafiction and reflection, to a certain extent, have also contributed to the development of the pre-service teachers’ teaching identity. The findings shed light on the potential of stories and reflective practice for English teacher preparation at the pre-service level.

Abstract

Many students perceive writing, especially in English, as a complex and challenging task. Digital Storytelling (DS), which integrates audio, images, video, text, and interactive elements, has emerged as an innovative medium to support students in developing their narrative writing skills. This qualitative study explores the experiences and challenges faced by tenth-grade vocational high school students in West Java, Indonesia, when using DS as a medium for learning narrative writing. The findings reveal that students navigate five key stages: familiarizing themselves with the DS application, crafting their stories with teacher feedback, transferring content to DS, editing, and submitting their narratives. While digital storytelling fosters creativity, supports idea development, and provides students with a novel writing experience, it also presents challenges. These include difficulties in adding text, selecting suitable images, customizing text styles and colours, as well as technical issues related to devices and internet connectivity. The study highlights the importance of teacher preparation and proficiency with DS applications to ensure effective classroom implementation. These insights emphasize the potential of DS to transform narrative writing instruction while addressing its practical challenges.
