Abstract

This paper aims to identify high school students’ reading habit and describe their perceptions on reading for pleasure. There were 41 high school students grade XI involved in this study. Data were collected from questionnaires, observation, and an interview. Results indicate that during holidays nearly 50% of the students read sometimes, 12% read once a week, 9% once in a month, and 29% never read although books are available. The students agree that reading for pleasure give many benefits, but the quantitative data indicate students’ low interest in reading. This may be due to the reading culture which has not been sufficiently developed since the early ages. In addition, the availability and accessibility of reading materials seems to play roles in determining the students’ reading interest. Reading materials should also vary in genres, in themes, and in forms of both printed and on-screen regarding students’ digital nativity. This study has, therefore, initiated the needs for libraries with good book collection, facilities, and interesting design to attract students.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/ijiet.2019.030108

There were 17 students participating in this study. Data were collected from pre-test, post-test, observations, focus group discussions, and interviews. Findings show that students’ vocabulary level rises by averagely 1.135 words. Students’ perception on reading activities and their reading preferences change. More interestingly, the extensive reading program has given them joyful reading experiences and encouraged them to read more. Reading logbooks function as scaffolding for vocabulary learning and sentence structure awareness. In addition, Cartoon Story Maker is perceived as the tool to develop imagination into stories built up from their previous reading experiences. This study indicates that there is a connection between reading and writing through several aspects that establish reading and writing skills. The cartoon stories are inspired by the stories they read, the vocabulary they learned, the retold plots, and there is an artful blend of imagination and creativity. Keywords: extensive reading, cartoon story maker, creativity Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan tentang pelaksanaan program Extensive Reading (membaca luas), menemukan jumlah kosakata siswa, dan mendeskripsikan persepsi siswa terhadap program membaca luas serta penggunaan Cartoon Story Maker untuk membuat cerita kartun.

Abstract

Language learning strategies are important for students to help develop their language competences and succeed academically. This paper is aimed to identify the learning strategies used by two Thai university students taking English language training program. The two female students speak Thai language as their mother tongue, Bahasa Indonesia and English as their second/foreign languages. Data were collected from interviews, observations, and documents. Results of this study reveal that those two Thai students employ two learning strategies—compensation strategies (getting help, using mime or gesture, avoiding communication partially or totally, and selecting topic) and metacognitive strategies (overviewing and linking with already known materials, identifying the purpose of a language task, seeking practice opportunities, and self-evaluating). Several emergent findings are paying attention to classmates and memorizing strategy. Difficulties in finding speaking partners as well as the feeling of reserved and shy are indicated as speaking problems. To help them with such problems, Google Translate is also perceived as beneficial to translate unknown words and expressions. Keywords: learning strategies, EFL students, qualitative inquiries

Abstract

This paper analyzes pre-service teachers’ critical incidents as reflected in their e-portfolios during their teaching simulation in the microteaching course. Three cycles of teaching practice were scheduled for each student-teacher. Thirty-six student-teacher critical incidents and e-portfolios were analyzed. Data were collected mainly from their e-portfolios containing their critical incidents. In addition, observations and focus group discussions were conducted to triangulate and confirm the students’ critical incidents. Results showed that of the total 130 critical incidents, 60 occurred in their first, 38 in their second, and 34 in their third teaching cycle. It indicates that the pre-service teachers struggle more at the beginning of their teaching practicum, go through the learning process, and develop their understanding of teaching. In addition, the student-teachers are empowered by obtaining the ability to sense the theoretical and practical gaps in teaching, indicate teaching problems and complexity, become aware of the challenging classroom management issues, and future professional development. This study highlights the importance of reflective practices such as critical incident analyses to be induced in teacher training programs. Through critical incident identification, pre-service teachers are trained to develop their reflection-on-action skills, pedagogical awareness, and choices and sharpen their sense of teaching problems, particularly when encountering theory-practice gaps.

Abstract

Game-based learning (GBL) is an innovative approach that involves students in identifying game elements that are relevant to the context set by the teacher. This method has proven to be effective and increasingly relevant in educational settings. This study aims to explore secondary EFL students' perceptions towards the use of Game-based learning (GBL) in secondary schools, using a descriptive qualitative research design. The main focus of this study was to investigate how Game-based learning (GBL) can effectively increase student engagement and motivation. The results showed that Game-based learning (GBL) not only serves as a learning support tool, but also promotes improved learning outcomes as well as develops students' adaptability. Based on these findings, some recommendations for the implementation of Game-based learning (GBL) in the context of secondary education are proposed, hoping to enrich future teaching strategies. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the potential of Game-based learning (GBL) in education.
