Abstract

Students require confidence in order to use language they are learning, yet self-confidence remains a challenge for them in language learning. This research examines Video Project-Based Learning (VPBL) which is a video learning method as an educational process of delivering knowledge and skills. In this study, the researchers focus on students’ perception on the use of project-based learning using video as a method to promote students’ confidence in learning English. The study was conducted at the fifth semester of 2019-2020 academic year in English Education Department of a university in Bogor. The data was collected by qualitative approach with open-ended questionnaire and semi-structed interview for ten students as the respondents. This research found that the use of VPBL can facilitate student information processing faster, retain knowledge and remember materials accurately, encourage students to apply and develop their creativity in learning, promote students’ confidence in speaking skills and enhance speaking skills with their own understanding and creativity with the lesson. This research advises taking a broader view of students' self-confidence as the implication of video project-based learning in individual project is really needed.

Abstract

Reading should become a habit for pre-service English teachers. The habit gives significant contribution in both academic and teaching performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the habit of reading English texts for pre-service English teachers. Data was collected through surveys and validation interviews. Questionnaires were distributed to 42 students of English Education at a university in Bogor, West Java using random sampling technique. This study found that the pre-service English teachers’ reading habits of English texts are not in the good category. Based on data analysis, it can be said that they have been reading English texts for more than 12 years. However, it turned out that during more than that period they were not used to reading well and some of them had expressed not having a good habit of reading English texts. This is because they do not read English texts regularly; they tend to read Indonesian texts more often. Some obstacles were identified in reading English texts, such as not being used to reading for a long time, and lack of vocabulary. On the other hand, they have a goal in reading, one of which is to increase their knowledge and English skills. This goal can be achieved by reading English texts regularly. Their plan is to read English texts regularly and ensure positive beliefs that are motivated by themselves, for the goals they want to achieve.
