Abstract

This study examines the barriers to reading academic texts among university students for whom English is a foreign language. While many previous studies have focused on instructional design for building academic reading skills, this study focuses on the fundamental issues that need consideration before setting up the instructional design for English academic reading. Taking an interpretive phenomenological viewpoint, this study applied a qualitative method through an online survey and interviews. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, online data collection was the most accessible means of approaching the students. Ninety-five students from various non-English study programs (courses) at a private university voluntarily responded to the open-ended online questionnaire, providing survey data. Five students provided further data through individual interviews on their academic reading challenges. A thematic analysis of the survey data revealed four themes and eight subthemes representing the students challenges, which were explored further in the interviews. These challenges and the relationships among them are discussed. The results suggest that most students depended on single-word meanings as their prime strategy for achieving comprehension. However, this strategy also represented the most notable challenge in their effective reading of English academic texts. They failed to comprehend the text effectively because their translation did not make sense. Furthermore, the nature of the reading strategies of the student cohort had an impact on their baseline reading proficiency.

Abstract

As a learning media, scratch conditionally becomes a suitable learning animation for student of six to sixteen years old. This study aims to examine the role of media to enhance the tenth-graders’ understanding of the material that is being delivered by the English teacher, while presenting communication and collaboration between teacher - students and students - students are engaged in. Data collection used interview and scratch practices with an analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model to employ this study. The findings showed that scratch media was fun, enthusiastic, interactive, and effective for learning English. Scratch model enrolled modification in making quizzes with the learning materials, in which the learning activities connected with the content, characters, background, and grammar. Scratch modification had shown the suitability of images, expressions, gestures, and characters that could change and move, as well as the suitability of the material and background. Besides that, the teacher added various sounds or back sounds the tenth-graders made students more enthusiastic and interesting with the quizzes. The use of scratch modified the animation, the background, the back sound, and all the features, in which it has a positive influence on tenth-graders’ learning effectiveness, materials absorption, and interest.

Abstract

This study assessed paralinguistic features in Indonesian university students' contextual interaction during storytelling. Data collection was recorded from respondents' two video-based storytelling performances, while a self-rated questionnaire was distributed to 235 respondents out of 481 undergraduate English education students using simple random sampling. Data analysis used a mixed-methods approach to qualify students' paralinguistic features using the eduistic linguistics annotator (ELAN) and to quantify the paralinguistic features using statistical analyses through the significance of .05. The findings revealed that the ELAN analyzed the contextual interaction among freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The students’ paralinguistic features corresponded with the lexical and semantic evidence, which approached the function of monosyllabic and bisyllabic words, nonverbal expressions, and interpretations. Bodily gesture quantitatively showed moderate category for 44.7% (t = 2.434; p = .016), articulation showed attributable category for 54.0% (t = 3.789; p = .000), facial expression showed moderate category for 61.7% (t = 2.472; p = .014), and voice loudness showed attributable category for 47.7% (t = 4.121; p = .000). Herein, positive and significant attribution were shown by these paralinguistic features towards students' contextual interactions in storytelling for 34.9% with the multiple regressions (F = 7.990, R² = .349, and p < .000). The paralinguistic features empirically address the multimodal communication modes to improve teaching and learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims at promoting undergraduate student teachers’ teaching practicum that highlights the pedagogical and teaching performance within the designated speaking class. Four senior student teachers participated in five weeks’ teaching practicum through the purposive sampling selection. The method of this study used observation, questionnaire, and teaching practicum documents to facilitate the qualitative analysis in relevance with student teachers’ teaching files, running-methods course, and classroom observations. The core practices of probing pedagogical activities engaged student teachers in intrinsic discussions explicitly and implicitly. The substantial pedagogical matters and their sub-matters were experientially derived from the relevant practicality into the common sense of instruction criteria on planning, implementation, and reflection stages. The discussion substance highlighted daily speaking performance in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and content among freshmen and sophomores. This study recommends student teachers improve their theoretical and practical teaching methods by accommodating enumeration and sense-making classroom discussion.

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.

Abstract

Team-assisted individualization (TAI) learning accommodates the primary school students’ learning activities through the cooperative and individual learning models. The study aims at investigating students’ TAI cooperative and conventional learning models among third-graders’ thematic subjects two public primary schools in Klaten district, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental research design was applied by involving 20 experiment and 18 control groups respectively. Data collection used the multiple-choice tests of thematics subjects to measure the third-graders’ TAI cooperative and conventional learning in arts, culture, and life skills and Indonesian subjects. Data analysis used a non-parametric statistic to prove the mean difference test in two or more groups, descriptive test, T-tests, Mann Whitney-U test, and N-gain test. The results showed an increase in the experiment group higher than in the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the experiment and control groups after examining the multiple-choice tests. The results supported the thematic subjects of the characteristics of living things in arts, culture, and life skills, and Indonesian teaching since proving the third-graders’ learning improvement naturally and objectively. This study concludes that TAI’s cooperative and conventional learning models accommodate the learning activities although its implication does not contribute significantly.
