Abstract

Language acquisition is a process which is experienced by a child in acquiring a first and second language. It needs a natural setting of target language in order to convey and understand the message correctly. The research was designed as a qualitative study to describe the process of second language acquisition experienced by Afghan refugees living in Makassar City for 5 to 10 years. In addition to describing the language acquisition process for Bahasa Indonesia as a second language, the study also explored the factors influencing this process. The research took 10 Afghan refugees who were proficient in Bahasa Indonesia as participants. To gather data related to their language acquisition and the factors influencing it, the informants were interviewed. Observation was used to supplement and verify the data on Bahasa Indonesia acquisition from the interviews. Thus, the data were analysed based on Krashen's theory (1995) of acquisition learning and the factors that influenced the informants' language acquisition. The research revealed that the refugees in Makassar used various methods (self-learning, courses) to acquire Bahasa Indonesia. They progressed through the five stages of language acquisition. Internal (motivation, personality, aptitude) and external factors (learning situations, local interactions) influenced their learning. Despite challenges, they persevered by practicing with Indonesian neighbours.Keyword: language acquisition, Afghan refugees, efforts, interaction, local people

Abstract

One way to evaluate English language skills is through the English Proficiency Test (EPT). This research aimed to develop the Internet-Based English Proficiency Test (IB-EPT) by evaluating its test items' validity, reliability, and practicality. The study followed a research and development approach incorporating qualitative and quantitative methods. The sample consisted of 24 students from UIN Alauddin Makassar. The developed English language test media received positive feedback from the expert validation and field trials. The results revealed that the validity of test items was confirmed, with a coefficient of 0.462 (r table = 0.44). Similarly, using Spearman-Brown product-moment correlation, the test items were reliable, with an index of 0.632, exceeding the critical value of the product-moment table (r table = 0.44). In addition, the students' evaluation of the product’s practicality yielded a score of 83.26%, categorized as “very good,” indicating the product was feasible. It is recommended that higher education policymakers should prioritize equipping campuses with comprehensive facilities, particularly information and communication technology, and provide specialized training for lecturers to develop effective computer-based and online assessments.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant innovations in the education sector, including the transformation of school principals' leadership from conventional to virtual forms. This study aims to examine the level of virtual leadership competence among elementary school principals in Makassar City. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed, in which quantitative data analysis informed the qualitative phase. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. In contrast, qualitative data were analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which consists of data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results show that the principals' virtual leadership competence is at a very high level, with an average score of 72.78 (53%), which falls within the score range of 72 < X < 90. This competence is demonstrated through six key indicators: e-communication, e-social, e-team, e-change, e-tech, and e-trust. The high level of competence is attributed to principals' proactive roles in maintaining teacher performance and ensuring the quality of educational services during online learning. The study highlights the shift in leadership dynamics and contributes new insights into the digital competencies required of school principals in a post-pandemic educational landscape.
