Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, classroom activities are mostly conducted online using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This situation requires teachers to be literate in technology for teaching. Some pedagogical methods and platforms are available to support learning activities and a number of constraints need resolving. This study aimed to investigate the empirical data of teachers’ readiness for English education in vocational high school considering the technology integration in teaching and to uncover the obstacles. Teachers’ readiness was assessed using Mishra and Koehler’s (2006) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Descriptive quantitative research was conducted to the members of the forum of vocational high school English teachers located in Surakarta. It was predicted that a number of English teachers participating in this research were not ready for technology integration in the future in spite of their strong desire to learn the technology. Based on the participants’ responses, it was also crucial to have supports from educational institutions where teachers worked to provide relevant devices and encouraging atmosphere to enable technology-enhanced learning. It was predicted that students’ primary impediments to learning with technology were the facilities and the teacher’s pedagogical methods.

Abstract

Live sports commentary plays a crucial role in enhancing the audience’s experience by covering sporting events' excitement, atmosphere, and emotional intensity. Commentators use various linguistic devices, including figurative language, specialized lexicons, jargon, and registers, to create vivid and engaging narratives. This study investigates the types of figurative language commonly used in live karate commentary. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzed 10 transcripts of live commentaries from the Tokyo Karate1-Premier League 2019 event. The data were categorized based on different types of figurative language identified in the commentary. The finding revealed that commentators utilized nine figurative language types: metaphor (27.4%), hyperbole (21.7%), personification (20.8%), synecdoche (6.6%), irony (6.6%), paradox (5.7%), understatement (5.7%), simile (3.8%), and metonymy (1.9%). In total, 106 data were obtained from various figurative language used by the commentators. These linguistic elements enriched the commentary by adding depth, excitement, and expressiveness to the descriptions of karate matches. Figurative language helped emphasize techniques, strategies, and dramatic moments, making the commentary more engaging for the audience. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the literary devices that shape sports narratives by elaborating on the various figurative language used in karate live commentary.

Abstract

To fill the gap and add literature on systematic reflections in the area of teacher identity developments, this research, which is a part of a larger case study, described how reflection class followed by pre-service teachers of English language in a teacher development program in Indonesia (PPG Pra-jabatan) was conducted. Using a single case study with embedded design and multiple data sources (observations, interviews, and document analysis), this research found that in its effort to help pre-service teachers' identity development, the reflection class followed a certain procedure that comprises of two phases (i.e. reflection phase and publication preparation phase). In addition, this research also found some protocols that were adhered by the reflection class (i.e. involving social reflection, providing a safe and secure learning environment, feedback provision to the reflections, and giving appropriate prompts). This research recommends the teacher education and teacher professional development programs give more attention to how reflection is conducted. In particular, it is suggested that some protocols of conducting a good reflection are considered so that the pre-service teachers can make the most of the reflective activities.
