The problem of the study was to explore howthe five genre writing practice impacted the students’ ability to discuss their opinion academically. Theparticular objective of this study was to inquire if the task-based learning enabled the students to ponderideas and express opinions into well-defined, coherent and written explanations in compliance with goodIELTS essay standard. The study was conducted in a quantitative method in which the students’ grades of aclass test given after completing the tasks were analyzed based on the IELTS Task 2 Writing BandDescriptors and modified IELTS Reading Task Band Score Converter. The results showed the task-basedlearning method instructing the students to yield five basic essay genres from Narrative to Argumentativeneeded to be only focused on Argumentative genre writing task practice if the learning objective was toequip the students to produce an IELTS typical essay in good quality, for the students’ essay writing gradesrevealed an unsatisfactory prediction band score, only 4.5 from a scale of 0 to 9. In particular, they shouldtake more intensive drills in organizing unbiased but persuasive explanations, providing supporting examples for their personal views, picking proper transition markers for the text coherence and being aware of fragment and run-on sentences, Subject and Verb disagreement, Use of Tenses and Redundancy.

Abstract

Discourses asserting peer assessment on English learning process particularly regarding its either effectiveness or downfalls as an alternative evaluation method for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners have been disseminated. However, doubts on the lack of peer assessment’s capacity as an evaluating tool remains to need more validation by a study examining its reliability in a wider learning context to ensure if the method could be as reliable as teacher’s grading leading to a theory that peer assessment can serve for reducing teacher’s load especially for big classes. In that connection, this study aims to examine the reliability of peer assessment for a big class of first-year non-native English speaking university students majoring in software engineering but already passing English grammar and vocabulary for composing short text genres in their earlier semester. Methods used for collecting and analyzing the data were Wilcoxon reliability and Bivariate Pearson Correlation tests to compare students’ peer assessment and lecturer grading on narrative texts written by 56 software engineering students. The finding shows peer assessment as a tool for evaluating students’ writing quality has been in low reliability indicated from the incompatibility between the students’ peer assessment quality and the lecturer’s grading result. This study contributes to present evidence that peer assessment should be out of consideration as an instrument for evaluating the writing produced by non-native English speaking students despite their passing subjects expected to have enabled them to compose a narrative writing. The conclusion is peer assessment is weak in effect on relieving teacher’s assessment load in a big writing class of English for Foreign Learning (EFL) students in spite of their English grammar and vocabulary acquisition at a certain level, though the method might serve for giving non-grading related advantages such as promoting students’ metacognition.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate applied comprehension of fresh year Electrical Engineering students, as non-native EFL adult learners at an IT institute in a remote area using, Toulmin’s model. The design and procedure of implementing this study with the subject of study encompassing 8 writing teams, sampled out of 16 writing teams formed by 47 Electrical Engineering students, was qualitative approach and summative content analysis. The main finding reveals students have remained to demonstrate less satisfying learning outcome when accomplishing argumentative genre essay task which is providing a compelling argumentation. Factors identified for such low-to-average quality despite rigid Toulmin’s model application for argumentation in their essay include the absence of thesis statement equivalent to the claim of an argumentative essay resulting in irrelevant reasons and insufficient evidence far from warranting it to the claim and lack of comprehension to compose a part anticipating critics’ rebuts. This study contributes to provide a comprehensive insight into students’ performance of developing argumentation through an academic essay after composing Toulmin’s model argumentative genre writing, expected to boost further research for teaching and learning methods helping students overcome their obstacles in building compelling arguments.
