Abstract

Studies on potentials of feedback over English language teaching seem to have not been well-revealed, including studies on the use of feedback to improve English pre-service teachers’ competence. The present study investigates to what extent a multimodal feedback can influence pre-service teachers’ teaching, and which teaching aspects are influenced. Twenty five pre-service teachers taking Microteaching Course served as respondents supervised by a course advisor. The data were collected by teacher observation in a rating-scale form, self-appraisal, and interviews. The data were analyzed by using correlated sample t-test and the eight teaching components proposed by Brown (2001). The results showed that after multimodal feedback provision, pre-service teachers indicated an improvement significantly in seven out of eight teaching aspects. The provision of multimodal feedback could improve their teaching competence on preparation, instructional objective elicitation, mastery of instructional materials, use of media, and classroom management, including classroom language. But, the results do not indicate that they perform well on reflection and follow-up due to some reasons. In addition, the results evince that multimodal feedback provision could improve pre-service teachers’ pedagogical competence when the multimodal feedback is integrated with content, interpersonal relationship, and management.

Abstract

English textbooks play a vital role in providing students with language learning input in class activities. Unfortunately, the selection and evaluation of English textbooks has often received insufficient attention and thought. Content such as reading material receives less attention than layout analysis, design, and cultural understanding. The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which reading material cover the genres and skills presented in senior high school English textbooks in Indonesia. The qualitative-based content analysis method was used in this study. There were three English textbooks observed, namely those for grades 10, 11, and 12 published by Ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia. The aspects observed in reading materials include reading genres and skills based on Brown's theory. The study discovered textbooks are dominated by personal reading with 17 reading material and 14 academic materials. Meanwhile, job-related reading is limited to class 10 textbooks. When it comes to reading skills, macroskills take precedence over microskills. Furthermore, based on these findings it can be concluded that the textbooks need to be developed to provide a balanced portion of reading genres and skills in each chapter. The limitations and suggestions are further discussed.

Abstract

This study investigatres the language learning strategies utilized by two proficient EFL learners in learning speaking skills. The present descriptive case study probes and narrates the accounts of two proficient English speakers related to the language learning strategies they employed in learning speaking skills. The two proficient English speakers were perceived as credible and ellible sources for this study as they possess the required TOEFL score for proficient learners as indicated by the English Testing Service (ETS), which is around 543-627 in range. The data used in this study were obtained through four semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom meetings with the participats. A document in the form of participants’ detailed learning schedules was also gathered to enhance data trustworthiness. Subsequently, the data collected were analysed thematically, generating seven categories of language learning strategies. Findings indicate that both participants utilized all seven strategies performed as the most frequently used strategy. It implies tht both participants often plan, arrange and evaluate their learning in advance. The study also found that few strategies were employed at the early stage of leanring and are no longer in use at present.

Abstract

Recently, the readability of texts has become the focus of reading research because it is believed to have implications for reading comprehension, which is of utmost importance in the field of English as a foreign language (EFL), particularly in the teaching, learning and assessment of reading comprehension. Unfortunately, the influence of text readability on reading comprehension (and reading time) has not been well studied in the EFL context. Most text readability studies are conducted in medical contexts, but these studies are often limited in predicting readability scores for sample texts. To address this gap, the current study aimed to evaluate the influence of text readability levels (based on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level (FKGL)) on students’ reading comprehension and reading time. Data were collected through reading test and analyzed using SPSS version 22. The Friedman test revealed that the distribution of students' reading comprehension score (X2=197.532, p=0.000) and reading time (X2=215.323, p=0.000) are different in each text, suggesting that the readability of texts has a significant influence on both. This study contributed to the practices of reading instruction and assessment. Limitations and suggestions for further research are briefly discussed.

Abstract

Identified as the core skill in academic setting. the importance of reading skill is deniable. This study investigated reading strategies employed by 8th graders of a public school in Bandung. It aimed at identifying the most frequent-used reading strategies and discovering their similarities and differences between higher and lower achievers. This study employed questionnaires and interviews to collect data. The findings of this study suggested that cognitive strategies are the most frequently-used strategies. Both higher and lower achievers were identified using nine high-frequency strategies. The differences were in identifying appropriateness and willingness to use the strategies. and students' intreat in reading materials. As a conclusion. higher and lower achievers might have different reading strategies due to time allotment. reading frequency, and strategic investment. Therefore. highlighting reading strategies is vital. and having a more comprehensive. integrated class room based reading study is strongly required.

Abstract

Revealing teachers’ beliefs about teaching in EFL speaking contexts may help better teaching practice. This research was conducted to investigate a teacher’s belief about teaching speaking focusing on convergences and discrepancies between the beliefs and the practices in the classroom. Grounded in a qualitative case study with interviews and classroom observations, an experienced English teacher with more than 10 years of teaching speaking in English participated in the study. The results of the study indicated that the teacher paid more attention to fluency and gave practical speaking tips when the students encountered communication breakdowns. Further, the teacher generally practiced her belief in the classroom, even though she encountered some discrepancies. It was due to some students’ factors including students’ language proficiency and their affective factors. Therefore, it is essential for EFL teachers to systematically and regularly monitor the relations between their beliefs and practices through reflective practices in order to improve their everyday practice of teaching speaking in particular. It is further suggested that teachers get engaged in some reflective practices to bridge their beliefs and teaching practices and find out how the reflection can benefit their beliefs and instructional decisions.

Abstract

Needs analysis is essential for developing a curriculum and teaching materials. Integration of technology in courses provides a supportive environment for learners across a wide range of courses. However, the needs analysis on the technology-integrated Basic English Grammar course learning is insufficient. This report aims to determine students' needs for studying Basic English Grammar courses through technology integration. For this purpose, the researchers used a descriptive qualitative design by distributing questionnaires. Twenty-four students completed the questionnaire, and the researchers recruited several students for interviews. The results of this study reveal students' expectations for technology-integrated assignments, such as submitting writing caption chores to Instagram, with a 48 per cent success rate. The technology-integrated Basic English Grammar course learning presences depict the most commonly used technologies such as YouTube, Instagram, the Quiz app, Google Classroom, Webbing, and e-Books. The researchers identified the lack of internet connection and an overabundance of information that perplexes students—this suggests the necessity to provide training to cope with the technological challenges of learning Basic English Grammar. The study proposes a teaching-learning situation in the Basic English Grammar course with technology integration as learning activities materials in the syllabus so that the teachers as the curriculum makers can develop the curriculum according to the needs of students. This report highlights that lecturers and universities perform periodic assessments of their students' needs as a basis for developing a curriculum with these reflective needs. In addition, the pedagogical implications for technology-integrated tools in the Basic English Grammar course are discussed.

Abstract

Teacher talk is one of the essential elements through which learning opportunities for pupils are facilitated. Nevertheless, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, investigations regarding the ways a native teacher illustrated in a British Sitcom utilizes embodied actions that influence opportunities for learning characterized as classroom interaction competence are found to be limited. Thus, the present study aimed at unfolding the native teacher talk concerning the ways the teacher uses embodied actions along with verbal language to provide learning opportunities illustrated in a British Sitcom. By utilizing a conversation analysis approach, the artifact, namely a British Sitcom entitled Mind Your Language, was scrutinized. The findings revealed several embodied actions involving gesture, facial expression, and gaze accompanying the teacher's talk significantly facilitate and mediate the students’ learning.  Also, the skills and systems constitute the most frequently occurring mode whereas the least frequently occurring mode was the classroom context mode. Lastly, the study arrived at conclusions that the use of embodied actions is necessarily required for its significant functions and use for teacher talk that lead to classroom interaction competence.
