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

Folklores are frequently used as teaching media at schools. However, they are suspected to contain gender stereotypes. This study aims to examine the gender representation and gender stereotypes in 28 folklores from Central Kalimantan published in two books by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia in 1982 and 1995. Gender representation is explored through the roles and occurrence of the characters in the folklores, while four categories of gender stereotypes (personality traits, domestic behaviors, occupations, and physical appearances) are used to investigate the gender stereotypes attached to the male and female characters in the stories. The results show there is an imbalanced representation of male and female characters in Central Kalimantan folklores; from the total of 106 characters, male representation has almost twice in occurrence (60.4%) compared to the female one (39.6%). Mostly, males are the main characters in the stories having both positive or negative roles, and the females have only inferior roles. The gender stereotypes of patriarchy are found to be promoted through the characters’ description in the folklores. Therefore, to represent the proper concept of gender equality through stories, a critical view is needed in selecting folklores as teaching media at schools.

Abstract

English songs are widely used as informal learning resources and may influence students’ language development through both linguistic exposure and affective engagement. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the influence of listening to English songs on their language skills in the English Education Study Program at the University of Palangka Raya. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire administered to seventh-semester students from the 2022 cohort(N=50). The instrument was tested for validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha before being analyzed through descriptive statistics. Based on the quantitative results, ten students (N=10) were purposively selected for semi-structured interviews to gain deeper insights. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Quantitative findings reveal that 94% of students had positive perceptions, while 6% reported negative views regarding the use of English songs in language learning. Qualitative results revealed that listening to English songs supported vocabulary development, listening comprehension, pronunciation, speaking confidence, and overall language improvement. However, some students viewed songs primarily as entertainment and reported challenges, including distractions, exposure to informal language, and mismatches with their learning preferences. Overall, the study indicates that English songs can serve as a beneficial supplementary medium for language learning, depending on learners’ preferences and the extent of instructional integration.
