Abstract

The present study presents the instructional procedures of the implementation of corpus-aided discovery learning and the extent to which corpus-aided discovery learning can create motivating and successful English grammar learning environment for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. Corpora promotes inductive learning in terms of that students not only acquire grammar by language data, observation and self-discovery of rules, but also find it entertaining and exciting to make grammar rule generalization on their own (Cheng, 2011; Hunston,2002). Drawing on data of a questionnaire and an interview, the students recounted that incorporating corpus-informed data into grammar learning was very satisfying and useful, and students can be sure that the language they are practicing is up-to-date, used in everyday situations. It is not artificial or invented language but consists of the most widely used grammar (McCarthy, 2004). In addition, language corpora helped students to learn about certain language uses that were not available in any of the traditional tools. Another finding shows that students understood how certain language forms were used by native speakers of English, and students revealed more positive attitude toward corpus in learning English grammar. The findings imply that corpus-informed data can be a means of encouraging autonomous learning, illustrating real uses of abstract rules, presenting authentic daily grammar, and promoting exploratory inductive learning. However, some students, especially inexperienced students, found learning grammar through corpus-informed data was difficult or boring.

Abstract

Demotivation is a complex problem that many foreign language (FL) learners faced, and it is caused by a variety of factors including the teacher, poor self-esteem, and previous bad language learning experiences(BABA KHOUYA, 2018). This study aimed to understand the demotivating factors on EFL students in online learning. The participants of this study were three students of the third grade of senior high school in Karawang. This study used a qualitative case study design to address the research objectives. The data for this study was gathered through semi-structured interview questions as an instrument of this study. The collecting data was obtained through Google meeting. The result of this study revealed that there are two demotivating factors on EFL students in online learning. Those are the teacher’s methods and learning material. In this case, the researcher found out that those factors are from the external factors. In the teacher’s method, there are two aspects that demotivate EFL students in online learning. The first aspect is because the teacher always speaks English all the time during learning. The second is because the teacher did not evaluate the students’ assignments. The last factor is the learning materials, the students get difficult to understand the materials during online learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in developing speaking skills among secondary school students, focusing on both instructional implementation and the obstacles encountered. Conducted at a public junior high school in Karawang, Indonesia, the research adopts a qualitative case study approach, utilizing classroom observations and teacher interviews as primary data sources. The study analyzes the integration of five core PBL stages: problem identification, analytical discussion, independent inquiry, synthesis of findings, and reflective evaluation. Results indicate that the teacher successfully implemented each phase, fostering greater student participation and enhanced speaking confidence. Nonetheless, several impediments such as students’ low motivation, limited command of English, and insufficient learning resources posed challenges to optimal learning outcomes. The study concludes that while PBL offers considerable potential to improve oral communication skills, its success is contingent upon thorough instructional planning and robust institutional support.
