Abstract

The existent literature on the integration of technology in language classrooms has addressed the issues of effective teaching strategies, the types of technologies students use, and teachers’ preparedness in adopting technology for the classrooms. Some scholars argue that the effectiveness of technology largely relies on the teaching strategies that teachers utilize. The findings of some studies shed light on the impact of technology on students’ attitude and engagement. Despite the unresolved debates about the use of technology in the classroom and its impact on student learning, the author’s current projects using games, YouTube, blog, and microblogging services indicated that students benefit from the projects in several ways. The participants of this study were students in the English Department in a private university in Semarang. The data for this study were collected from interviews, observation, and students’ learning reflective journals that students submitted upon the completion of the projects. The findings indicated that students felt more confident in applying their knowledge in real life situations. Interactions with teachers and peers, bridged by technology, contribute to their development as the creator of knowledge.

Abstract

Recent studies have suggested that teachers beliefs have a significant influence on actual classroom practice and, consequently, on students achievements. However, little research has been done to investigate the influence of Indonesian language policy and teachers beliefs. The study reported seeks to examine the influence of English language policy on pre-service teacher's beliefs about the teaching of English language grammar in Indonesian schools. The research participants were pre-service teachers who have taken the subjects of Structure, Teaching Methods, and Micro-teaching in three public and private universities in Central Java and Yogyakarta Special District. Due to time and scheduling limitations, the sampling method used in this study was convenient sampling. Documentation, survey schedules, interviews, focus group discussions were used to gather the data. The findings revealed that although the language policy in Indonesia has put English language teaching and learning within the framework of communicative competence since the enactment of the 2006 School-based Curriculum, the pre-service teachers still believed that traditional method of teaching grammar (explicit grammar instruction) was imperative to use. The pre-service teachers tended to exclude English language policy enacted by Indonesian government in their discussion about teachers beliefs. Instead, the pre-service teachers constructed their beliefs about English language grammar teaching and learning process on their prior experiences in learning and teaching grammar.

The findings also reveal that some words or phrases undergo morphological adaptation such as affixation and reduplication. With regard to the function of code switching, the Indonesian English code switching are employed as interjections/sentence fillers, message qualification, personalization, and lexical gap-filling

Abstract

One of the responsibilities of higher educational institutions is to enhance students' character building and soft skills. The disjuncture between institutions' expectation in educating their students and students' perceptions on the benefit of their teaching and learning processes necessitates a paradigm shift in the college curriculum. Given that universities prepare students to be an individual and a member of a society, college curriculum, therefore, should enhance students' experience both academically and nonacademically. This paper attempts to propose a modest and brief preliminary proposal for curricular change for English Departments in Indonesia. The proposal includes the proposal for five elements of curricular revision - purpose, learner, content, instructional processes, and evaluation and assessment.

Abstract

Language is the major instrument of human beings to communicate with one another. This means that the primary role of language is as an instrument in information exchange among people. Because language is primarily spoken, a speaker should pay attention to his or her pronunciation in order to avoid misunderstanding. When conducting a research on the problem of incorrect pronunciation of some specific English consonants in the Faculty of Letters Soegijapranata Catholic University Semarang, the researcher found a unique case in relation with familiarity of the pronunciation among the respondents. In his research, the researcher used a pronunciation test consisting of words containing the problematic consonants and the respondents were some of the fist year students of the Faculty of letters Soegijapranata Catholic University. The words were taken from the most familiar English to the less familiar English words to the respondents. The results are quite surprising because the familiar words are not always pronounced correctly and the less familiar words are not always pronounced incorrectly. What makes this case happen? What are the factors influencing the respondents performance leading to correct or incorrect pronunciation in relation in relation with their degree of familiarity to the words given? This article will discuss the problems and find out the factors influencing the respondents pronunciation.

Abstract

In addition to be proficient at their core subjects, college students need to master the 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, information literacy, and many other skills. Studies on self-directed learning (SDL) have indicated that SDL is a strong predictor for 21st-century skill mastery. This study aimed at exploring the challenges, supports, and strategies of SDL among college students. This qualitative study used interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) to obtain data on SDL. The respondents in this study were college students in a private university. The interview and the focus group discussions were then transcribed, analyzed, and coded to find emerging themes. The results of this study indicate several important points. First, social media can empower students in their learning, but can also distract them from their learning. College students needed support from parents, peer groups, and even alumni to seek knowledge independently. Making priorities and maintaining good relationship with classmates, friends, seniors, and alumni are some of the strategies that college students used.

Current literature on the utilization of TikTok reveals the potentials of TikTok in English language education. As one of the most popular social media applications, TikTok has currently gained popularity. The role of TikTok in the field of education remains an interesting issue to study.  The research questions in this study were twofold: first, to investigate the social and interactive features of TikTok commonly used by students, and second, to investigate the perceived benefits of integrating TikTok as a learning tool for English as a Foreign Language development. The respondents for this study were students from 18 private and state universities in Indonesia. The data were collected through online questionnaires administered to 101 respondents. The research findings revealed that students generally have a positive view of TikTok as a platform to improve their English language skills. TikTok is recognized not only as an entertaining medium but also as a valuable tool for language learning. Its social and interactive features allow students to create content and participate in discussions of common interests actively.

Abstract

Misunderstanding and misperception in communication often occur due to listeners’ failure to grasp the accurate meaning of a speaker’s utterances. These failures are typically caused by a lack of pragmatic competence in understanding the contexts and conditions of speakers when interacting with listeners in specific situations. An example of communication failure is seen with individuals experiencing serious mental illness (ISMI). Communicating and interacting with ISMI is challenging due to their communication disorders. Their speech and behavior are often impacted by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized talk and abnormal thought processes. This study aimed to explore effective communication strategy to deal with ISMI. The case study involved 3 (three) ISMI who met the eligibility criteria. An inductive qualitative method employing participant observation and documentary analysis was used. Data collection included primary, secondary and tertiary sources, which were triangulated with in-depth interviews with their families. Data analysis was conducted through thematic coding, which revealed that pragmatic competence (80%), Compassionate Psychiatric Care (CPC; 15%) and ecological conduciveness (5%) are key factors in improving communication fluency with ISMI. This article concludes that the speech therapy method developed by Angelicdolly, which combines pragmatic principles with compassion for the ecological conduciveness of ISMI is an effective strategy for enhancing communication with these individuals.
