Abstract

This research addresses the issue of using course books as the sole source for writing assessment tasks in junior high schools without considering students’ diverse learning needs and capabilities. The study aims to identify and describe the assessment tasks employed by teachers to evaluate the writing skills of junior high school students and investigate students’ perceptions of these tasks. A descriptive qualitative method was used, focusing on MTs Hidayatullah Bahaur in Central Kalimantan as the research setting. Two English teachers and ten students of Class VIII from MTs Hidayatullah Bahaur participated in the study. The data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the English teachers primarily used two categories of assessment tasks: imitative writing, encompassing handwriting, spelling, and punctuation tasks, and intensive writing, which involved grammatical transformation, picture cues, vocabulary assessment, ordering, short-answer, and sentence-completion tasks. Furthermore, interviews with student representatives indicated that the overall quality of the assessment tasks was satisfactory. However, students emphasized the importance of teachers actively explaining the task requirements, as understanding the tasks was crucial for successful completion. Consequently, this study highlights the significance of well-designed assessment tasks accompanied by clear explanations to ensure students’ comprehension and accurate task execution.

Abstract

This study delves into gender-specific linguistic variations in YouTube vlogs, analysing language features employed by 30 daily English language video vlogs, evenly split between 15 male and 15 female vloggers. Employing a qualitative research design with content analysis, the study identifies prevalent language features and scrutinizes their typologies and intended functions through a systematic four-step method, encompassing data segmentation, code formulation, category development, and the identification of overarching themes. Taboo and swearing, directive and command language feature prominently among male vloggers. In contrast, female vloggers utilize compliments, hedges, tag questions, and questions to engage with their audience on YouTube. This study offers valuable insights into the distinct language patterns of male and female vloggers, contributing to a nuanced understanding of communication dynamics in online platforms and shedding light on the intersection of gender and language in online contexts.

Abstract

Classroom instruction involves how teachers deliver lessons, engage students, and convey information and also involves pedagogical considerations to support students' learning. This study investigates the instructional practices employed by English Language Teacher Training (ELTT) teachers in South Kalimantan. Through a mixed-method sequential explanatory design encompassing depth semi structured interview and non-participant classroom observation, the study explores 19 ELTT Madrasah teachers in South Kalimantan. The findings shed light on the teachers' ways in giving instruction such as the preparation before the instructions, teachers write the instruction for developing lesson plan, arrange the classroom and grouping the students, getting students' attention and communicating lesson goals, the time for instruction, language choices, classroom activities, modelling the activities, using extra-linguistics devices, checking students' understanding and monitoring students' activities. ELTT Program also shape the instructional practices of teachers in terms of their preparation, the use of more English as a medium of instruction, their engagement with technology, their confidence and creativity, and more students’ participation. This study contributes valuable insights to the realm of language education, offering implications for teacher development and improved student outcomes in South Kalimantan.
