Abstract

This descriptive study examined metacognitive awareness levels among students in the English Education Study Program at IKIP PGRI Pontianak. Using a cross-sectional survey, data was collected from 420 students across various academic years and backgrounds. The Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) by Schraw & Dennison (1994), consisting of 52 items across eight indicators and two main factors, was used to assess students' metacognitive skills. Analysis with descriptive statistics revealed that 86% of the students reported a high level of metacognitive awareness. This is significant as metacognitive awareness is linked to academic success, such as higher-grade point averages. The most frequently reported indicators were Debugging Strategies, Conditional Knowledge, and Evaluation, while Information Management Strategies emerged as the least used. Notably, students scored lower on items related to remembering information and using visual aids like diagrams. These results highlight both strengths and areas for growth in students' metacognitive awareness, highlighting specific skills that could be further developed to enhance their academic performance.

Abstract

Decades-long researches in a language in contact field have proved that when a learner learns a new language, his/her knowledge regarding their first language might interfere with their learning. If it occurs, the learning process will be more challenging. The data in this research was collected by using document study technique on twenty-five research outlines written by preservice English teachers in order to investigate the potential of interferences of Indonesian subject – verb agreement pattern into English. To do so, a descriptive study was adopted. The data was analysed by incorporating error and contrastive analyses. The finding of this research confirmed that four types of subject – verb agreements pattern of English had been interfered by that of Indonesian. The grammatically incorrect sentences, which were caused by such interferences, occurred very individually. It means that the interference varies from one preservice English teacher to another.
