Abstract

The study investigated the crucial role of supervisory feedback in academic supervision from students' perspectives in two distinct English-speaking university contexts: EFL and ESL. The research included the participation of 59 students and relied on a comprehensive methodology, utilizing a combination of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews for data collection. In analyzing the data, the study employed simple statistics to measure frequency and mean, while interview data were subjected to thematic analysis. The study's findings revealed that students in both Indonesian and Malaysian university contexts reported similar experiences concerning supervisory feedback. Specifically, their supervisors were found to provide comprehensive feedback and consistently engage in regular face-to-face meetings. However, the study identified a notable disparity in the preferred types of supervisory feedback between Indonesian and Malaysian students. Indonesian students preferred oral feedback, while Malaysian students leaned towards written feedback. These findings have important implications for academic supervision in Indonesian and Malaysian contexts. By shedding light on the differences in student feedback preferences, the study aims to increase awareness and provoke discussions about how supervisory feedback is administered. This, in turn, could potentially lead to positive changes in how academic supervision is conducted in these contexts. Ultimately, by exploring students’ perceptions of supervisory feedback, the study functions as a valuable resource that can inform the refinement of current feedback approaches to better align with the needs of students, thus enhancing the quality of academic supervision and the overall educational experience.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the cognitive dimensions present in the textbook "Bright" and examine the composition and distribution of higher order thinking skills in reading exercises as classified by Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. The research employs a descriptive quantitative methodology, focusing on the ninth-grade textbook "Bright," published by Erlangga in 2024. Data collection was conducted using a checklist instrument. The findings reveal that: 1) The reading questions in the "Bright" textbook encompass only five cognitive dimensions: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, and evaluating. 2) Analysis results indicate that 92.8% of the reading questions are categorized as Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS), while only 7.2% fall under Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This suggests a predominance of Lower Order Thinking Skills over Higher Order Thinking Skills in the reading questions of the "Bright" textbook. Consequently, the questions presented in the "Bright" textbook primarily focus on Lower Order Thinking Skills rather than fostering Higher Order Thinking Skills. Relying solely on the English textbook as a pedagogical resource is insufficient for enhancing students' abilities in Higher Order Thinking Skills.

Abstract

Metadiscourse refers to the language elements that writers or speakers use to organize, guide, and comment on their text, helping readers understand the structure and connect ideas. This study investigates the critical role of metadiscourse markers in the introduction sections of master's theses, focusing on how these markers enhance clarity and organization, making the text more accessible and engaging. The research aimed to analyze the types and frequencies of both interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers in the introductions of theses by students in the English Education Study Program at Bengkulu University. A mixed-methods approach was employed to analyze 30 introduction sections. The findings show that writers predominantly use interactive markers, especially transitions (70.7%), evidentials (11.7%), and frame markers (8.3%), more than interactional markers like hedges (52.2%) and engagement markers (24.8%). The frequent use of transition markers suggests a focus on guiding readers through the text rather than direct engagement. These results underscore the importance of metadiscourse markers in creating a well-structured and persuasive introduction. Mastering these markers can significantly enhance the quality of academic writing. Future research could extend this analysis to other thesis sections or different academic contexts.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the level of independent learning regarding speaking skills within the English Language Education Study Program. A quantitative descriptive design was utilized to analyze the speaking skill levels of students. A questionnaire consisting of 30 questions served as the instrument for this study. The researcher used likert scale in this research. The subjects included first-semester students from the English Language Education Study Program at the University of Bengkulu. The total population was comprised of 110 students, with 75 selected as research samples using a volunteer sampling technique, and participants volunteered for the study. The results revealed that the highest score was recorded for the statement, "I like to learn English speaking," which scored 3.59, indicating strong student interest in speaking English. Conversely, the lowest score was for the statement, "I speak English with friends," which scored 2.37, suggesting a lack of practice and confidence in using English in informal settings. These findings indicated that while students demonstrated an interest in developing their speaking skills and tried to improve, they encountered challenges in applying their knowledge in real-life situations. Overall, the learning level of independent speaking skills among first-semester English Language Education Program students was generally rated as moderate to high. These results underscore the need for targeted approaches to boost students' confidence and competence in speaking English outside the classroom.

Abstract

While artificial intelligence in language learning has gained more attention, the effect of ChatGPT-integrated learning on English grammar remains largely underexplored. To address this significant gap, this study aims (1) to investigate the effect of ChatGPT-integrated learning on English grammar achievement and (2) to explore learners’ experiences and perceptions after engaging with ChatGPT to learn English grammar concepts. Sixty learners were involved in this quasi-experimental study, split into experimental and control groups. During the 6-week language instruction, the experimental group received ChatGPT-integrated grammar learning while the control group received non-ChatGPT-integrated grammar learning. Data were collected from pre-test, post-test, and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data, the pre-test and post-test, were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test, while the qualitative data, the semi-structured interview, were examined through thematic analysis. The result revealed that ChatGPT-integrated learning enhanced students’ grammar achievement. Although both groups enhanced their grammar scores, students from the experimental group obtained significantly higher scores than those from the control group. Most students had favorable perspectives on using ChatGPT in their English grammar learning instructions. However, some were found to worry about the likelihood of dependency and declined critical thinking. Careful planning of its pedagogical compatibilities, communication of potential risks and ethical considerations, and guidelines are needed to navigate the complexities involved in adopting ChatGPT into ELT classrooms and to mitigate the potential drawbacks of ChatGPT within the education field. This study, therefore, calls for policies and guidelines to integrate ChatGPT into curriculums.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the use of Voice of America (VOA) videos and students' listening comprehension in English language courses through a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, addressing the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of authentic media in language learning. Given the increasing reliance on digital content for language acquisition, this study explores whether VOA videos offer measurable advantages over traditional listening materials in debating issues: why is it significant? The research includes quantitative data collection involving listening comprehension tests and surveys with Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by qualitative data gathered through structured interviews. Quantitative analysis using SPSS and Pearson correlation indicates a weak positive relationship between VOA video use and listening performance (r = 0.108, p = 0.651), which is statistically insignificant. Qualitative insights suggest that VOA videos provide exposure to authentic pronunciation, intonation, and accents, and may contribute to increased motivation for learning. Thematic analysis identifies challenges, such as the speed of speech and the presence of technical terminology. In general, the students' listening comprehension scores showed improvement, with a median score of 80/100. The findings suggest that integrating authentic video materials like VOA into language instruction may have pedagogical value while also highlighting limitations for broader applicability.
