Abstract

This study was aimed at finding out 1) how learners in a specific teaching-learning context namely process-based academic essay writing perceived the importance of corrective feedbacks (CF); 2) what CF was expected the most; 3) in what way learners preferred to have their CF  provided; and 4) how learners perceived the importance of grammar teaching. It was conducted at English Literature Department of a university in Central Java Indonesia. Forty two students who were taking Essay Writing course served as the subjects for the study. The course itself was delivered in a process-based writing in which content development and rhetoric were given more emphasis than grammar accuracy was. Data for the study were collected by questionnaire and a semi-structured interview with 5 guided questions. The findings suggest that learners still considered CFs as highly important and useful for their writing improvement. Learners expected to have comprehensive CFs of grammar, vocabulary, spelling, organization and punctuation, and CF on grammar was the most preferred one. In terms of CF provision technique, underlying and making notes were the most preferred techniques. Finally, this study concludes that the shift of approach from a product-based to a process-based did not significantly change learners’ focus from forms to content.

Abstract

English Language Teaching (ELT) is something that has changed dramatically in recent times due to technology. Even though it could potentially reshape ELT, appropriate implementation remains a challengefor most teachers who are often uncertain as to how to use technology to improve learning. This article looks into the experiences and reflections of Indonesian high school English teachersintegrating technology into their ELT pedagogical practices, from making lesson plans, having classroom activities, to setting up the assessment. Quantitative and qualitativedata were collected and analyzed through a mixed-methods approach. It involved an online survey distributed to 20 diverse Indonesian high school English teachers as well as semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 teachers. The results indicated that there is an increasing use of technology for ELT purposes, particularly to facilitate language reception,language production, and interaction. Theresults also found some challenges and limitations, including technical issues, training and support, and access equity. These insights can help guidethe future development of Indonesian high school ELT practices, inform investment in technology infrastructure, and support targeted professional development initiatives focused on technology integration. The findings are discussed in the context of existing research on ELT and technology integration, with particular emphasis on their significance for high school English teachers in Indonesia. The results provide implications for ELT policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in Indonesia and evidence the importance of context-sensitive solutions to provide meaningful integration of technology in the variability of Indonesian high school settings.

Abstract

Pendidikan karakter seyogyanya diberikan kepada siswa sejak dini karena pendidikan karakter mempengaruhi karakter masyarakat di masa depan. Permasalahan yang terjadi adalah tidak semua sekolah mampu memberikan penanaman karakter sejak dini yang dikarenakan minimnya sarana dan prasarana yang dimiliki. PAUD Tunas Bangsa 2 merupakan salah satu PAUD swasta yang terletak di daerah Sendangguwo Semarang. Mayoritas siswa PAUD Tunas Bangsa berasal dari masyarakat sekitar kelurahan dengan tingkat ekonomi menegah ke bawah. Dengan pemasukan dana yang sangat terbatas, banyak sekali sarana dan prasarana sekolah PAUD ini yang perlu dibenahi, salah satunya dari sisi bahan bacaan untuk proses pembelajarannya. Kurangnya bahan bacaan membuat proses pembelajaran tidak berjalan dengan maksimal. Berdasarkan analisis kebutuhan mitra di atas, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa PAUD Tunas Bangsa 2 tersebut memerlukan peningkatan pada beberapa aspek, diantaranya adalah bantuan sarana dan prasarana dalam proses belajar mengajar. Dengan demikian, pengabdian masyarakat ini berfokus pada pemberian bantuan sarana pembelajaran yang dalam hal ini berupa buku-buku cerita anak dan beberapa alat peraga serta peningkatan kompetensi guru yang dalam hal ini melalui pendampingan kegiatan bercerita. Materi diisi dengan sosialisasi terkait manfaat kegiatan bercerita, pemaparan tehnik bercerita, dan pendampingan penyiapan kegiatan bercerita. Hasil pengabdian menunjukan bahwa baik guru maupun kepala sekolah antusias mengikuti serta berlatih mengaplikasikan tehnik bercerita, sedangkan siswa PAUD antusias mendengarkan cerita yang disampaikan oleh guru dan terlihat aktif menjawab pertanyaan diberikan oleh guru terkait dengan tema pendidikan karakter yang dipilih.

Abstract

As the development of the industrial revolution takes place, disruptions are happening constantly in almost every major sector of the current industries. Companies and organizations complained about the competencies of the graduates entering the work force. This matter questions the readiness of the education system in preparing the students for the real world. Problems in education such as the regulations, strict policies and instructions from the government are undermining the role of the teachers to do what they think best for their students. This standardization has harmed the motivation and enthusiasm to learn, especially in English language class. Lack of motivation and English Language competency could harm students’ opportunity in accessing the vast global network of knowledge. Merdeka Belajar and SOLE are the promising alternatives in improving ELT. This article is somewhat a position paper trying to clear one side of a debatable opinion about a hot issue. It aims to persuade the reader that our opinion is valid and defensible. In doing so, we then separate the discussion into several parts regarding the analysis of concepts of Merdeka Belajar and SOLE (Self-Organized Learning Environment) related to ELT and motivation in language learning, as well as innovation in education. HIGHLIGHTS: SOLE (Self-Organized Learning Environment) is a concept developed by Sugata Mitra, and the researchers at the SOLE Centre in Newcastle University. SOLE with its highly influenced Constructivism approach lets the learners to take steer of their learning process gives them the ability to make meaning of the subject on their own. Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) is a new concept that needs to be tread carefully to direct the discussion objectively.
