Abstract

This study aimed to develop English supplementary reading materials promoting HOTS for senior high school students majoring in the science study program. The procedures of conducting this study were the identification of needs, exploration of needs, contextual realization and pedagogical realization of materials, materials production, evaluation by the experts, student use of materials, and evaluation by the students. It was concluded that the appropriate supplementary textbook for the eleventh grade students majoring in the science study program was a textbook which promoted HOTS, followed the 2013 curriculum, and considered the students' needs. EXCELLENT, the textbook prototype developed in this study was considered appropriate for teaching and learning English since it met those criteria. It was proved by the results of the evaluation by the expert and students. The mean value of the expert judgement on the textbook quality was 4.71, which was classified into "very good" category.

Abstract

The objective of the research is to find out significant differences on the writing achievement between students taught through Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and those who are not. This research is quasi-experimental research. The subjects consisted of two groups of students as the experimental groups and one group as the control group. The data were obtained by essay writing tests. The data analysis used descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The hypothesis was tested using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at the significance level of 0.05. The result of the ANCOVA in the posttest score shows that the significance value is 0.001, which is less than the significance level of 0.05 (F = 7.493, p < 0.05). This means that there is a significant difference in the writing ability among grade eight students of SMP N 2 Kalasan taught by using the Project-Based Learning, from those taught using the Problem-Based Learning and those who are not.

Abstract

The several kinds of operations about the concepts or content supplied in the phrase are addressed by the grammatical system known as transitivity. The generation of the situation's field might explained by looking at the texts' transitivity structure. This study aims to analyze a transitivity pattern and its suitability with the communicative goals of various types of texts in the EFL English for Nusantara textbook. The focus of this research is on examining the type of process, the role of the participants, and the elements of information to understand how these linguistic features able to contribute to achieving the goal of communicative effectiveness in a narrative, descriptive, recount, procedural, and expository text. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with content analysis as the primary method. Data might be collected by systematically identifying linguistic characteristics in texts that have been selected, followed by categorization and interpretation. This methodology provides the possibility of an in-depth understanding of how linguistic characteristics have an appropriate role in accordance with their communicative purposes. The results of the study provide clues that each type of text has different transitivity patterns according to its function. Narrative texts are dominated by material processes, emphasizing actions and events, while relational and mental processes may add context and depth. Descriptive text provides insight into the balance of relational processes with material. Recount texts emphasize material processes to tell past events dynamically. Procedural texts focus on material processes to provide instructions and achieve real results, while expository texts might provide a balance between material and relational processes to present and explain information.

Abstract

The absence of legal certainty in the application of the pari passu pro rata parte principle in the distribution of bankrupt accounts in Indonesia has given rise to uncertainty regarding the protection of the rights of laborers whose employers or companies have faced bankruptcy. This article considers that Indonesia requires a set of formulations enabling the state to provide legal protection for the rights of laborers affected by employer or company bankruptcy. The article explores the feasibility of adopting the Francovich Principle in Indonesia, defining it as a principle holding the state accountable for the losses incurred by laborers due to company bankruptcies.  The  article  concludes  that  several  conditions must be met to apply the Francovich Principle, including the establishment of a guarantee institution, the obligation for financial contributions from companies, and the implementation of specific measures to prevent abuse. The state’s effort to adopt the Francovich Principle involves establishing a priority scale in drafting laws related to the Francovich Principle into the Priority National Legislation Program. Furthermore, the government needs to revitalize institutions related to the Francovich Principle within the national legal and regulatory system

Abstract

Various studies have highlighted the significance of language learning strategies in enhancing language competence. However, studies specifically examining the correlation between these strategies and learning autonomy are limited, particularly among graduate students in Indonesia. This study seeks to address this gap by examining the correlation between language learning strategies and learning autonomy among graduate students. Using quantitative methods, this study involved a correlation design on 136 graduate English language students at a state university in Indonesia. The instruments used were the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire developed by Oxford (1990) and the Learner Autonomy (LA) questionnaire developed by Chan and Spratt (2002). The analysis of the data involved descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results revealed that the majority of graduate students utilized metacognitive strategies more frequently to acquire English skills, and they demonstrated a high level of autonomy. Furthermore, researchers discovered a positive correlation between language learning strategies and learner autonomy. The implications of this study indicate that the use of language learning strategies contributes to supporting learner autonomy. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions and lecturers to design curricula and learning activities that encourage the application of relevant strategies and the development of student autonomy. This not only helps students become more autonomous in the learning process but also improves the effectiveness of English language acquisition among graduate students.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore English teachers’ readiness to implement Merdeka curriculum which focused on three aspects of readiness: emotive-attitudinal, cognitive, and behavioral. It investigates whether teachers’ readiness in implementing Merdeka curriculum varies by age and gender. This study used quantitative research in the form of survey design. The samples of the study were 179 English teachers at senior and vocational high schools in Bangka Belitung Province, Indonesia. The data were collected from 68 items of the questionnaire, consisting of 26 items for emotive-attitudinal dimensions, 28 items for cognitive dimensions, and 14 items for behavioral dimensions. Descriptive statistics and MANOVA were computed and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS 26.0. The findings of the study showed that all of the teachers shared a moderate level of readiness in implementing Merdeka curriculum. Teachers’ readiness in implementing Merdeka curriculum showed a statistically significant difference among different age groups of teachers. However, there was no significant difference between male and female teachers’ readiness. The findings of this study suggest that while English teachers in Bangka Belitung Province exhibit a moderate level of readiness for implementing Merdeka curriculum, their preparedness may require further support, particularly in specific dimensions of readiness. The significant differences in readiness across age groups indicate that younger and older teachers may have varying needs in terms of training and professional development.
