Abstract

Developing listening skills in an academic context is essential as it requires students to acquire a sufficient number of vocabulary, which will enable them to comprehend the information provided in a text. This paper explores the challenges faced by twenty-seven EFL students in an Academic Listening course using a task-based language teaching framework (Nunan, 2004; Willis, 1996; Willis Willis, 2011). The data were collected from the students’ listening journals containing accounts of their experiences during the course. The data from the journals were analyzed qualitatively to identify the themes that emerged. The results of the analysis reveal various challenges encountered by the students: unfamiliar accents, fast speed of speech, and new vocabulary. The paper ends with a recommendation to investigate vocabulary learning strategies of spoken texts.

Abstract

Pronunciation is an area of language, which is easy to recognize and see. When a language learner makes an error in pronunciation, other people can identify the error easily. Mispronunciations are common errors that happen to English language learners in the Expanding Circle, in which English is a foreign language, like Indonesia. This paper deals with mispronunciations made by Indonesian language learners. The respondents were 14 students of a writing class in an English Language Education Program at a private university in Indonesia. They took the course during the pandemic era. The classes were therefore done online, and each virtual class was recorded. These students were video-recorded when reading certain parts of texts in the course. The findings showed that the 14 students made some mispronunciations due to several reasons like habits of pronouncing words in Indonesian and a lack of knowledge of the ideal notion of native speakers' pronunciation. It is hoped that this paper can be useful for EFL teachers teaching pronunciation as well as for students who are still struggling with their pronunciation in their efforts to gain native-like proficiency.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to serve 33 high school students in Kristen Kalam Kudus Sukoharjo Senior High School, a private school in Sukoharjo, Central Java, Indonesia. More specifically, the program was in the form of virtual English Conversation Club (ECC) activities for eight meetings. This ECC program was done primarily via Zoom Meeting and Google Classroom, facilitated by eight lectures and nine lecturer assistants. Each meeting lasted for 45 minutes. The facilitating lecturer started the ECC session by introducing learning activities, giving instructions, and opportunities for the participants to practice their English speaking with the lecturer's assistants in the breakout rooms. Afterward, ECC participants were asked to upload a short video based on the online practice to their social media accounts (like TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube). Details of activities and various technology tools in each ECC session were presented in this paper. Although there were some challenges, all the ECC activities went as the lecturers had planned. This paper ends with several suggestions for the improvement of similar ECC activities in the future.
