Abstract

The Author’s Chair, a key component of the writer’s workshop model, provides students with the opportunity to present their written work orally, thus promoting both speaking and writing skills This activity is widely recognized for its potential to build students' confidence and enhance their speaking abilities. The theoretical framework underlying the Author's Chair is socio-constructivism, which views learning as a social process where knowledge is co-constructed through interactions with others. Socio-constructivism emphasizes the importance of social interactions in learning, where thought evolves from societal exchanges to individual understanding. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of the Author’s Chair in a kindergarten setting and to explore how this method contributes to improving young learners' speaking skills. The participants were K-2 (TK-8) students at a preschool in South Jakarta. The research employed three observation sessions, including video recordings, to examine the impact of the Author’s Chair on the students' speaking abilities. Additionally, interviews were conducted with teachers to gather their feedback on the implementation and effectiveness of the Author’s Chair in the classroom. The findings indicate that the Author’s Chair is an effective instructional tool for enhancing young learners' English-speaking skills, as it provides a platform for students to express themselves and engage in peer interactions. However, it is also evident that successful implementation requires a significant investment of time and effort from educators. In conclusion, the study suggests that the Author’s Chair can be a valuable approach in English language teaching, fostering improved speaking skills in young learners when used consistently and effectively.

Abstract

This qualitative study at Mamina English Course in Batam explored how journaling helps first-grade junior high students improve their English narrative writing. Many students learning English in Indonesia often struggle with vocabulary, grammar, and expressing ideas freely. This research aimed to find more engaging teaching methods. Journaling seemed promising because it's a relaxed way to write, reducing anxiety and encouraging practice. Ten students journaled regularly for a month. Data from surveys and writing tests, informed by key language acquisition theories and teaching approaches, showed positive results. Students reported increased motivation, engagement, creativity, self-expression, and writing confidence. To understand this better, our study gathered detailed information from ten students over one month. We used surveys to hear directly about their experiences and also looked at their writing tests. The ideas behind our study come from important theories about how people learn a second language. For example, Stephen Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis suggests that feeling relaxed helps learning, and journaling certainly offers that. Merrill Swain's Output Hypothesis highlights the importance of language production, and journaling offers numerous opportunities for this practice. We also explored the role of motivation in student learning and how Discourse Analysis can reveal students' language usage. On the instructional side, we examined Process Writing, which emphasizes the stages of writing, and Constructivism, which posits that learners actively construct their own understanding. Although the findings do not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, they indicate that journaling creates a supportive atmosphere for self-expression and language experimentation. The study underscores the potential of journaling to empower young English learners and advocates for its inclusion in educational curricula, along with suggestions for further research.

This study investigates integrating deep learning approaches and digital literacy into reading instruction to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) among high school EFL students in Central Java, Indonesia. The study objectives were to evaluate the efficacy of deep learning-based reading strategies in improving students' comprehension, assess their digital literacy levels, and evaluate teachers' perceptions of integrating deep learning and digital literacy in EFL reading classrooms. One hundred seventy-eight tenth-grade students from three public high schools in Central Java participated in this study, which employed a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design.  A digital literacy questionnaire and reading comprehension pre- and post-tests were used to gather quantitative data.  Semi-structured interviews, teacher focus groups, and classroom observations were used to gather qualitative data.  After using immersive learning methodologies backed by digital media resources, pupils' reading comprehension scores significantly improved, according to quantitative studies. There was also a high correlation between students' reading competence and their digital literacy levels. The qualitative data showed greater student participation and high comprehension of the text as observed by teachers accompanied by enhanced engagement, critical thinking, and autonomy of students in reading activities. These results substantiate the integration of deep learning and digital literacy into reading lessons. It raises both cognitive and affective dimensions in EFL contexts. The significant study about pedagogical innovation emphasizes the SDGs, teacher training, and curriculum support that sustain tech-enhanced learning environments in Indonesian secondary schools.
