Abstract

The Act Number 20 of 2003 concerning System of National instructed that international standard education unit be opened in every regency/city in every part of Indonesia as an attempt made to anticipate the globalized era. This study was intended to understand the forms of hegemony of PBI and the factors contributing to it at Public Senior High School 78 Jakarta. In the present study, the Theory of Hegemony, the Theory of Discourse of Power/Knowledge, and the Theory of Social Practice were eclectically used with qualitative approach. The data were taken from documents, brochures, mass media, experts in education, community leaders, teachers, students, parents and the headmaster. The data were taken through interview, observation and documentary study. The data were validated through the process of triangulation which includes data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and interpretation.  The result of the study showed that (1) the hegemony of PBI took place in the forms of the standardization of education, the capitalization of education, the image of international quality, the stratification of education and (2) the factors contributing to the hegemony of PBI were the politics of national education and the discourse of globalism. Hegemony took place in the form of internationalization of eight SNP and “benchmarking” of the quality of education in OECD countries in order to anticipate globalization. It is suggested that the general middle education which reflected the philosophy of national education, Pancasila, need to be reconstructed.

Abstract

Studies on ideology and multicultural values in English textbooks have been carried out in the last decades. However, studies on foreign-published or imported textbooks used in Indonesian schools have been still scarce in literature. The current research was aimed at investigating the representation of ideology and multicultural values in the English textbooks used in Indonesian schools. This method employed in the study was a critical discourse analysis (CDA) on learning materials contained in English textbooks used in Indonesian secondary schools. The results revealed that the representation of ideology and multicultural values were identifiable through various forms of the culture, culinary topics, tourist attractions, youth lifestyles, flora and fauna, modern life achievement as well as interpersonal interactions. The current research findings offer different perspectives in developing English teaching materials in adjusting the balance of ideological and multicultural stances in shaping the learners’ characters.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Dogme, a communicative approach, in enhancing the writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) high school students through asynchronous discussions. By integrating Dogme principles, which prioritize student interests and emergent language, the study aims to improve the efficacy of asynchronous discussions in language learning. A quasi-experimental quantitative design was employed, involving a class of high school students who participated in six asynchronous discussion sessions modified with Dogme principles. Data were collected via pre- and post-intervention writing tests, with student writings evaluated across five aspects. The results, analyzed using a Repeated Measures t-test, revealed significant improvement in writing achievement, evidenced by a higher post-test mean score (82.1) compared to the pre-test (69.8), with a two-tailed significance value below 0.05. This enhancement is attributed to students’ ability to choose discussion topics and utilize emergent language, enabling richer content development in their writing. Thus, this study confirms the viability of incorporating Dogme principles into asynchronous EFL teaching methods to boost writing performance.

Abstract

With the rapid advancements in technology, educators have increasingly explored the utilization of social media platforms as educational tools. Among these platforms, Instagram has emerged as a prominent choice due to its widespread popularity. This transformation has seen Instagram being repurposed from a mere entertainment tool to an educational medium, particularly in the domain of language instruction. English teachers, in particular, have embraced this platform to facilitate the teaching of essential language skills such as speaking and writing. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using Instagram in enhancing students' proficiency in writing cutline captions. The research subjects consisted of 32 twelfth-grade students from SMAN 1 Jatiagung, South Lampung, Lampung Province. Data collection was carried out through a pretest and posttest writing assessment, and the obtained data were subjected to descriptive quantitative analysis. The findings revealed a notable improvement in students' ability to write cutline captions following the integration of Instagram into the instructional process. These results highlight the potential of Instagram as a valuable tool for fostering students' writing skills, specifically in the context of crafting engaging and concise captions. The implications of this study contribute to the expanding body of literature on technology-mediated language learning and underscore the importance of incorporating social media platforms into educational settings for effective language instruction

Abstract

Integrating technology in teaching and learning process has been a new phenomenon nowadays. Teachers need to use some kinds of technology in order to move from the conventional way to the new one and reach the learning objective more maximally. In fact, some teachers do not want to use technology in their teaching process because of their limited facilities and knowledge. One of supporting frameworks to this condition is the use of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge or known as TPACK. In relation with it, this paper is intended to investigate English teachers’ perception about the use of TPACK in their EFL learning. The subjects are 10 English teachers who teach in some of Senior High Schools in South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province. The data were gained using questionnaire and interview. Then, it was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The result then indicated that English teachers have good perception toward the use of TPACK in EFL learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of incorporating peer teaching in Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) to enhance students' writing achievement in narrative text. Recognizing the challenges faced by EFL students in organizing ideas and the limitations inherent in traditional pedagogical approaches, this research examines whether the integration of peer teaching in STAD group activities can improve the quality and structure of students' written work. A comparative analysis was conducted between students who were taught using peer teaching in STAD and those who received instruction through the original STAD. The objective of the study is to assess whether significant differences in writing achievement exist between the two groups, with a particular focus on content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanical accuracy. The results indicate a substantial improvement in students' writing skills, suggesting that the incorporation of peer teaching in STAD can serve as an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing writing proficiency in the EFL context, especially in the domain of narrative text production.
