Abstract

Although English students (English-L2) are allowed to retain their local accent when speaking English, they may not be intelligible if they use inappropriate stress in communication. This research is intended to find out how English-L2 produce stress in English morphological derivation words. The respondents of this study are 10 students of English Department (PBIUPY) Who are native speakers of Indonesian. PRAAT software is applied to analyse the recordings, including measuring the pitch of each word, the highest pitch indicates the primary or strongest stress in each word. The instruments of this study are 5 morphological derivation words which have different level and variation of stress. The result illustrates that English-L2 produce inappropriate stress alternation in English morphological derivation words. Most English-L2 are not able to distinguish between strong and weak stressed syllables. It is proved by the pitch which they produce have a broadly simillar pattern. Keywords: stress, alternation, English-L2

Abstract

This research is aimed at finding and describing the intonation of English declarative sentence produced by English Department students of Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. The intonation is analyzed based on contour approach through the movements of pitch. The researcher uses three students as his respondents. The data are analized through three steps, firstly, data are collected through listening and recording process, secondly, the recording data are converted to soundwave and pitch diagrams using PRAAT software, at this point, PRAAT text grid is applied to make the pitch diagrams easy to understand, and finally, the researcher draws conclusion according to the contour of pitch in the diagrams. The result of this research illustrates that the respondents tend to rise the pitch at end of English declarative sentence which correspondingly changes the mood of the sentence into an interrogrative sentence. English declarative sentences generally have falling intonation and native speakers of English do not rise the pitch at the end of declarative sentences. However, this research shows that students of English have inadequate knowledge about suprasegmental features in English particularly intonation.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the problems and the strategies of the EFL teacher on the implementation of Cambridge and national curriculum (k13) at Mutiara Persada school of Yogyakarta. This research is conducted based on the difficulties encountered by EFL teacher in the implementation of Cambridge and National Curriculum on fourth grade of Mutiara Persada Elementary School of Yogyakarta. This research adopted a qualitative research design. This type of problem was dealing with personal struggle of the EFL teacher when teaching using the two curricula in an international class. The struggle could be psychological, technical, or just simply lack of knowledge in the field. Those kinds of problem would be appropriate if approached using personal interaction such as deep interview. The result of this research found that the most common problem was not from the teacher’s background of study which in this research is EFL teacher. However, the problem comes from how the teacher adapted to the both of curriculums. Instead, the EFL teacher has better understanding of English terms that are used in Cambridge textbook. Teacher with English background also has better understanding in viewing the students’ skill which in turn the teacher knows how to adapt themselves with the student’s capacity. EFL teacher also has benefit in teaching global mindset to the student which is part of Cambridge curriculum’s goal. The researchers also find out the strategy that the teacher used which is once that the terms are understood then the problem was to make the students understand that the term in Indonesian and in English is similar in meaning, only different in language. Since teaching young learners only uses a simple terminology, not the complex one, the only adaptation that the teacher made was only in the terms used.

Abstract

In Indonesia, where more than 700 languages exist, EFL teachers make use of students’ linguistic repertoire (e.g., utilize the Indonesian language [hereafter ‘Indonesian’] which functions as the national and official language) during the English instruction. While previous studies have focused on various aspects of EFL teachers’ cognition, little has been known concerning students’ perceptions of teachers’ utilization of languages other than English during the EFL instruction. Therefore, the present study aims to further understand this issue by investigating students’ perceptions of translanguaging practices performed by their teachers during English lessons at a junior high school in Yogyakarta. A qualitative study with case study design was conducted to address the objectives. Three teachers’ classroom practices were observed and five students were purposively invited for interviews. Results showed that translanguaging practices performed by the teachers functioned as explanatory and rapport-building strategies. While students demonstrated positive attitudes towards such practices and stated that the teachers’ translanguaging practices supported their learning goals and helped to boost their motivation in language learning, they seemed to be concerned that uses of languages other than English during English lessons would not only reduce their exposure to the target language but also decrease their opportunities to improve their English-speaking skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the intersection between teachers’ stated beliefs regarding grammar instruction and their actual classroom practices, focusing on two experienced English teachers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. While prior research underscores the influential role of teachers' beliefs in shaping instructional approaches, discrepancies between these beliefs and classroom implementation are frequently observed. This qualitative case study involved two English teachers from a junior high school in Yogyakarta who have completed their undergraduate degrees in English education and have over ten years of teaching experience. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis to explore how teachers' beliefs about teaching grammar align or diverge from their practices. The findings reveal inconsistencies, demonstrating that while both teachers express a preference for implicit, communicative approaches, practical challenges such as large class sizes, curriculum demands, and varied student proficiency often necessitate the use of explicit instruction methods. These results support existing literature that highlights contextual factors as mediators between beliefs and practices. The study emphasizes the need for reflective practices and tailored professional development programs that help teachers align their instructional strategies with their beliefs. This alignment can enhance instructional effectiveness and foster a more cohesive learning environment. Future research should further investigate how professional development and reflective practices can support teachers in bridging the gap between their beliefs and classroom methodologies.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of teaching practice experiences on pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' cultural sensitivity, specifically their sensitivity to school culture, and examines how this cultural sensitivity impacts their teacher identity formation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved interviews with three pre-service EFL teachers. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data, revealing several key findings. The study found that teaching practice significantly enhanced pre-service EFL teachers' awareness of school culture, encompassing the distinct academic environment and customs encountered in schools compared to their campus experiences. Additionally, this experience improved their classroom management, selection of teaching methods, and fostered greater patience and confidence in their teaching roles. Moreover, increased cultural sensitivity positively influenced the development of their professional identities, highlighting the importance of emotional factors such as a sense of belonging to the teaching profession, preparedness for the classroom, and self-assurance. Overall, the study underscores that teaching practice not only deepens pre-service teachers' understanding of school culture but also equips them emotionally and professionally for their future careers.

Abstract

Despite a growing body of research on translanguaging internationally, more studies are needed to examine secondary school teachers’ reasons and purposes of translanguaging during English lessons, especially in Outer Circle countries such as Chile, Germany, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This paper aims to contribute to this emerging area of interest by investigating junior secondary school teachers’ reasons for and purposes of utilizing students’ linguistic repertoires during English language instruction in the Indonesian ELT context. Data were primarily collected through interviews with three teachers working at two schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal several reasons for translanguaging, including limited exposure to English outside the classroom, lack of foundational English knowledge, restricted vocabulary, and diverse student learning needs and proficiency levels. Teachers reported using languages other than English to build rapport, foster a relaxed classroom atmosphere, reinforce or clarify instructions, facilitate comprehension, check understanding, and manage instructional time efficiently. These findings suggest that translanguaging can be an effective pedagogical strategy in English language classrooms, particularly in contexts with limited English exposure. The study points out the importance of incorporating translanguaging approaches into teacher education programs and recommends further research into its long-term effects on student learning outcomes.
