Abstract

This paper examines the discursive construction of terrorism-related information conveyed on the Indonesian newspapers. The Jakarta Post, one of the most notable Indonesian English-language newspapers, have been covering terrorism related encounters in its editorial especially after the 2002 Bali bombing. This paper finds out the use of common definitions and terms as well as the discrepancies in the produced expression related to terrorism and extremism in the editorials the newspaper has published since 2014. It is found that the newspaper has symphatetically portrayed and supported the victims while it represented the perpetrators from their ideological perspectives and separating their ideologies from religious teaching practices in the country. Additionally, the newspaper identifies terrorism as threat to Indonesian democratic values and classifies terrorism as a serious issue endangering the country’s security and social stability. To the latter end, the newspaper suggested policy recommendation while at the same time criticizing the law enforcement for failures and in the end promoting secular values for the country in order to eradicate terrorism.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has raised challenges for the higher education community worldwide. Of the most fundamental challenges in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) during the pandemic, it is to ensure that the learning is meaningful. Online teaching and learning imply pedagogical content knowledge, mainly related to organizing and designing a better learning environment, with the help of digital technology. In this study, we provide insights into this online learning-related pedagogical content knowledge, with the goal of helping novice English language learners to navigate in this challenging time. Particularly, through a Personalised Autonomous (PA) Model approach, we conducted action research through developing a new approach to language learning and running the course during a semester in the early to mid-2020 towards 97 students. Our qualitative analysis of the samples showed that the personalized teaching model provides a unique opportunity whereby the students could address their own language learning needs to their own satisfaction which in turn stimulated their positive emotions and self-confidence. The students, however, mentioned that they experienced difficulties in finding resources and setting their personal learning goals. Finally, this research recommends that personalized learning can be a solution to distance learning during the post-pandemic era.
