Abstract

Classroom-based communication requires an appropriate contribution from lecturer’s perspectives to address students’ non-cognitive skills. This study examines the paralinguistic attribution contributions deriving from lecturer’s visual manner. Of 504 pre-service English teachers, 120 freshmen participated in this study. Data collection used the questionnaire through a random sampling selection from lecturer’s writing instruction. Data analysis used the multiple regression analyses with the significance level (p-value) of .05. The findings exhibited that lecturer’s paralinguistic attributions, namely: articulation (t = 1.073; p = .286), sonority (t = 2.896; p = .005), loudness (t = 3.433; p = .001), facial expression and lips setting (t = 1.097; p = .275), and gesture (t = 2.323; p = .022) contributed a significant influence towards the writing class instruction positively. The effectiveness of the paralinguistic attributions contributed 45.5% from overall findings shown in this study, in which the regression analysis statistically addressed that F = 19.017, R² = .455, and p .05. This study concludes the existence of the paralinguistic attributions accommodates freshmen’s learning maturation in lecturer’s instructional modes.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating student-athletes’ swearing motives when attending sports training program and competitions. This study involved 210 respondents (n = 201, Mage = 21.65; SD = 3.994), which were organized by the National Sports Committee of Indonesia, Jawa Tengah Province, Indonesia. Data collection used a self-rated questionnaire with a 5-Likert scale measuring for expressing anger, stressing from opponents, relieving tension and frustration, and customizing daily expression using the IBM SPSS software analyses. The results postulated that the scaled determinants empirically triggered student-athletes’ swearing motives in expressing anger (M = 2.13; SD =.922), stressing from opponents (M = 2.15; SD = 1.005), relieving tension and frustration (M = 1.98; SD = 1.019), and customizing daily expression (M = 2.10; SD = 1.087), although there were no statistically significant differences among those determinants. The dependent variable showed that F (4, 202), p = .000; Wilks’ Lambda = .58; and partial eta squared = .13, whilst the normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity consequences were not transgressive. Hence, among the determinants had positive correlations (r = .769, n = 210, p.01), where student-athletes’ swearing expression levels sequentially placed stressing from the opponents associated with expressing anger, customizing daily expression, and relieving tension and frustration. Meanwhile, social media was mostly eligible to determine gender-based swearing expressions (females = 50.4%, males = 43.2%), expressed by the local swearwords. These swearing motives constitute student-athletes’ intrinsic and extrinsic relationships, whether positive or negative actions that conditionally differentiate student-athletes’ psychological well-being across the dimensions of self-acceptance, autonomy, environment and personal maturation

Abstract

In an attempt to increase reading performance at university level. This study aims at perceiving the experiential determinants of EFL students’ online reading performance. Data were collected from 182 undergraduate students’ self-rated questionnaire based on the assigned Indonesian folklores in English version through the online reading platforms. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The results showed that EFL students’ reading habits and reading frequencies and trends were very supportive, whilst reading effectiveness and reading for pleasure supported their reading performance. Tests of chi-square’s four variables were statistically significant indicating the proportional majority of online reading activity. Meanwhile, the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) indicated two components and variables under the eigenvalues’ square root. The interpretation of two components was coherent with the pilot results on the online reading readability scale, analyzed the use of positive and negative affect items as undertaken from the pattern and structure matrix for PCA with the Obliging rotation. EFL students’ online reading is engaging accordingly since students accomplished their reading performance based on individual accessibilities and habits to understand the contents of genres. This study concludes that EFL students’ online reading performance has been practically facilitated by the technology devices multiply. Hence, four online reading variables increased EFL students’ reading awareness and performance accordingly.

Abstract

The research aimed to observe the lecturer’s teachability on students’ short story performance based on the database fitness of narrative writing. The research involved 245 undergraduate students aged between 18 to 23 years old (Mage = 20,65; SD = 1,603), from the parallel-intact-narrative writing. Students’ self-rated evaluation used several variables: transparency, accountability, fairness, and assistance in narrative writing instruction. Meanwhile, short story samples verified vocabulary, structure, mechanics, content, and organization. The findings show the lecturer’s teachability in the moderate category, for which the independent T-test results do not statistically show a significant difference between male and female students for perceiving the lecturer’s teachability, and the MANOVA revealed the lecturer’s teachability with F (16, 724.687), p = 0,044; Wilks’ Lambda = 0,894; and partial eta squared = 0,028, determined a differently statistical significance. The Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT) indicates students’ short story samples with some experience of the syntactic structures and various categories upon the correlational results since the transcript length intelligibility, standard measures, and subordination index signified the database for supporting students’ short story performance.

Abstract

This research was conducted to reveal the book evaluation based on level 2 analysis by Littlejohn criteria. This research aims to (1) analyze to what extent tasks in the textbook “The 21st Century English for Libya Preparatory 2” meet one of the criteria of a good textbook suggested by Littlejohn and (2) discover the strengths and the weaknesses of the textbook used by eight graders of Junior High School in Libya. This study is qualitative research data that was collected by analyzing the textbook using Littlejohn criteria. The level 2 analysis by Littlejohn was used to analyze the textbook by doing a checklist. One unit was analyzed as the evaluation sample, and it was named Unit 1. Two major findings emerged from the research using this level of analysis. Firstly, the tasks in “The 21st Century English for Libya Preparatory 2” are categorized as a good element to support the book as a good book.  Secondly, the research found both strengths in the textbook. The strengths were discovered in the book. Based on level 2 of analyses from Littlejohn, the research found both strengths to the textbook.  Every unit has tasks stated by Littlejohn, except songs. They can encourage students to speak and share their ideas and experiences with their classes. However, in terms of weaknesses, most of the tasks are not balanced – still dominated by receptive skills, reading, and listening. In addition, the activities outside class are also still rare served by the textbook. Based on the results above, it can be inferred that this evaluation is truly important to be done to know the quality of the textbook as an important element in the teaching and learning process.
