Abstract

This research article provides an examination of the challenges faced by students during the composition of procedure texts. It aims to uncover factors influencing students' proficiency. Utilizing thematic analysis, we analyzed students' written texts and conducted interviews with junior high school English teachers and students, providing a holistic perspective.   Four significant areas of difficulty were identified: minimal word and phrase variations, lack of clarity and precision, ignorance of writing mechanisms, and challenges with grammar and spelling. These challenges provided insights into the recurring patterns of students"™ writing. Factors contributing to these difficulties included motivational factors, language environment, language proficiency, and formal presentation aspects. Student motivation to write and seek comments was hindered by low intrinsic motivation. Students' writing talents were also shaped by language exposure and proficiency, which varied by background and experience. Additionally, formal presentation characteristics and technology-based teaching strategy restrictions underlined the need for improved infrastructure to accommodate various and engaging teaching methods. In conclusion, the research sheds light on the intricate landscape of students' struggles in composing texts and underscores the urgency of providing tailored teaching strategies to address these challenges effectively while also keeping the influencing factors in consideration.

Abstract

This study investigates the pronunciation challenges Indonesian EFL learners face with English consonant fricatives. The research aimed to identify common pronunciation errors, explore underlying causes, and propose strategies for improvement. Using an explanatory sequential design, 30 undergraduate students completed a pronunciation test focusing on fricatives, followed by interviews with 10 students who made the most errors. The analysis revealed frequent mispronunciations of fricatives such as /ʒ/, /v/, and /θ/, often substituted with native sounds like /s/, /z/, and /t/. Voiced fricatives posed greater difficulties than voiceless ones, especially in contexts where Indonesian has no phonetic equivalent. Interviews highlighted a lack of familiarity with these sounds and insufficient pronunciation training as primary challenges. Native language interference and limited exposure to correct English pronunciation were significant factors in these difficulties. The findings call for more targeted instruction in English fricatives within the Indonesian EFL context. Further research with larger sample sizes and longitudinal approaches is recommended to explore long-term outcomes.

Abstract

The study investigates the alignment between EFL teachers' perceptions of students' writing difficulties and the actual performance of students in vocabulary, grammar, organization, and mechanics. Using semi-structured interviews with five certified EFL teachers and written tests from 28 junior high school students, the research employs thematic and content analysis. Results show strong alignment in vocabulary and grammar, highlighting issues such as limited vocabulary range and frequent grammatical errors. However, significant misalignment is found in organization and mechanics, with teachers overestimating students' skills in structuring essays and using punctuation. The findings underscore the pressing need to address these gaps, as the misalignment between teacher perceptions and student performance hinders effective instruction and student progress in writing proficiency. Bridging this gap is crucial for fostering holistic EFL writing skills. Suggestions include structured feedback rubrics, peer evaluations, and professional development workshops to enhance teaching practices. This study contributes to improving EFL instruction by identifying gaps in teacher-student alignment and proposing targeted interventions for better writing proficiency.

Abstract

In the realm of English language learning, web-based learning (WBL) provides a critical tool for practicing speaking skills which requires synchronous interactions for effective learning. This study explores the efficacy of the "Harati Speaking" website, a web-based platform designed to enhance spoken English skills among Intermediate English learners. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method involving 64 second-year bachelor students from an Indonesian university's English Education Study Program. Data were gathered using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), which evaluates six categories of user experience: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty. Results indicate a generally positive user experience, with specific strengths in the website's ability to provide an engaging and efficient learning environment. However, areas such as novelty and certain aspects of attractiveness and dependability received lower, though still satisfactory, ratings, suggesting room for design enhancements. Overall, the "Harati Speaking" website proves to be a valuable tool for practicing the speaking skill in English, contributing positively to the language learning process in a foreign language classroom. This study provides valuable insights into how such platforms can facilitate synchronous interactions essential for effective language learning. For future development of the "Harati Speaking" website, more innovative and engaging features could boost the web novelty, such as by including gamification elements and interactive scenarios. By addressing these areas, future research can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the potential and optimization of web-based learning tools for English learning.

Abstract

Many teachers struggle to utilize technology to create interactive, creative, and innovative learning media. They often face challenges in selecting and using the wide variety of available learning tools, which leads them to rely on traditional methods such as textbooks. Additionally, the lack of skills in using technology-based media, such as infographics, hinders their ability to enhance the quality of teaching in line with the demands of the digital era. This study aims to describe the implementation of infographic training as an alternative learning media at SMPN Satap 2 Palangka Raya. The training was designed to enhance teachers' competencies in utilizing information technology, especially within the limitations of available resources. Using the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the training leveraged existing facilities such as school laptops, smartphones, and premium Canva accounts. The training activities included an introduction to infographic design, hands-on practice with Canva, intensive mentoring, and an exhibition of participants' works. The results indicate that the training was conducted as planned with active teacher participation, despite technical challenges such as limited internet connectivity. This training also highlighted the importance of sustained support, such as providing adequate technological infrastructure by schools and local governments, to improve the effectiveness of similar programs in the future.
