Online learning has been a trend in education as the development of education in the world refers to the current situations due to the development of technology. The important thing needed to be considered is concerned with the strategy of providing the learning time allocation and using technology. The best alternative strategy to support online learning is conducting the flipped learning activity.

That's why it is crucial to recognize the problems and find the solutions referring to the existing cultural dimensions. The results revealed that the way how the learners studied English through the online learning activities was mostly influenced by the cultural dimensions such as getting passive in the class, focusing on getting good grades, expecting the teachers’ dominations in the class, and getting fond of being given playful learning activities. Regarding this, some solutive efforts were also done by the teachers in the form of flipped learning activities leading the acts of building the classroom interactions through questioning and giving various tasks targetting to improve the generic capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that both the EFL teachers and learners can overcome the problems related to the existence and influence of the cultural dimensions by implementing the flipped learning activities to support the online learning activities conducted for reaching better academic achievements through the developments of their generic capabilities to face the 4.0 industry era.

Abstract

Cooperative Learning (CL) strategy can be the alternative way for leading the students to have the capacity in solving the problems in learning grammar. It is because CL gives the access for the students to have mutual or cooperative working within the groups or team works formed. The students’ mutual or cooperative working can be measured by peer assessments given. The study was aimed at revealing how the students in the groups or team works performed their contributions in solving the problems related to understanding grammar through cross-cultural translation. The study used a quantitative approach within a survey design. There were 50 participants in this study. The research instrument used a questionnaire containing about 16 closed questions distributed via Google form. The result showed that most of the students were initiated to have mutual and cooperative working by being consistent to contribute, feeling a complete sensitivity to others, encouraging others, and having high social attention and care in solving the problems on learning cross-cultural grammar translation. It is recommended that the teachers apply the CL strategy which also gives the access for the students to improve their learning motivations and self confidence through mutual and cooperative working done.

Abstract

This journal article examines the grammatical construction of some TV news headlines, highlighting the issues that arise due to their structure. The primary concern is that the headlines use adverbial clauses or phrases of reason before the main clauses which inadvertently cause some confusion about the subjects and the actions of the news stories. That is because the adverbial clauses or phrases often function as appositives to modify the subject of the main clause. When used as clauses of reason as in the headlines, this grammatical construction creates ambiguity in understanding who is then performing the described actions. The study finds that these headlines are structurally complex and misleading, making them fail to convey their intended meaning. To address this issue, the article suggests that the headlines be rephrased to eliminate ambiguity. Improved headline construction not only enhances communication but also ensures that potential confusion for the audience is minimized.
