The result of this research showed that the score of Sig. (2-tailed) gathered from SPSS 22, it was found that Sig. (2-tailed) the result was 0.001. Because of Sig. (2-tailed) was smaller than 0.05, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, which states there is a significant correlation between students’ interest in listening and their listening comprehension. In conclusion, there is a positive correlation between students’ interest in listening and their listening comprehension. It means that students with higher interest will get better listening comprehension than the lower one.

Abstract

Managing classroom activities in children has become a challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. Teachers usually use gestures in class activities, such as giving directions and pointing at students. This study explores the multimodal representation of the teacher's gestures when managing classroom activities in the EYL context. Data were collected through non-participant observation and analyzed by Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SFMDA). The findings show that four meanings are multimodally represented in teacher gestures, namely (1) building student-teacher relationships through clapping and thumbs up, (2) emphasizing instruction through raising hands, pointing and lifting class objects, (3) encouraging involvement of students in academic tasks through finger pointing and counting down, and (4) warning of disruptive behavior of students through pulling gestures. Pedagogically, this research provides a paradigm shift that classroom-based communication does not have to use a single semiotic source but also a combination of other semiotic sources to help students understand teacher instructions easily.

Abstract

Capturing moments through photos has now become a common phenomenon in various circles, including academics. It aims to perpetuate every historical value in the life of an individual. In this article, the authors attempt to explore how an Indonesian student experienced her inaugural intercultural journey during a two-month short course program in Ireland, a pathway program to prepare prospective Ph.D students with academic and social skills, through photographs that she took amid the program. This perspective of intercultural travel is embedded in the personal and cultural identities of the participant. This article uses photovoice analysis to exemplify how the participant negotiated her natural identities, institutions, discourses, and affinities during intercultural interaction. The data used in this study are photographs taken by the participant and her voices on those photos guided by the SHOWeD model. The authors employed Pierce’s semiotic approach to scrutinize the symbols, icons, and indexes contained in the Photovoice. The results of the analysis indicate that the participant experienced a plethora of moments that aroused her intercultural awareness, starting from managing the initial self-conflicts, adjusting in the fast-paced academic culture by interacting with cultural actors, and responding positively to all stimuli that came during intercultural interactions. Needless to say, challenges are also present as self-development reinforcement. However, this constraint was considered as a self-defense mechanism and an attempt to respect the self, not as a failure of intercultural interaction. In conclusion, the student is currently no longer a cultural observer and imitator, but rather a cultural actor.

Participants in this study were 60 students. Sampling was done randomly. The method used is a one-group experiment. This study provides treatment for group experiments using pre-test and post-test. The research instrument has been tested using content validity by three supervisors with doctoral degrees. The results of the study concluded that the approach or learning method with learning media based on the student's background and the situation of the online learning environment had a significant effect on improving student learning outcomes. The concept of project-based learning applied through vlog design in PAUD classes has had a major impact on increasing students' vocabulary. The results of the study also have implications for teachers' understanding in solving problems through joint or individual projects that direct students to use their learning experiences and seek information to produce good vlogs.

Abstract

The subject matter discussed in this paper is how hotel front desk receptionists handle requests and refusals in their interactions with customers when they use English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The method of this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach, examining the interactions of front desk employees who work at Hotel Surya Duri, Indonesia. The sample consists of seven people who were given a discourse completion test which questioned them on how they deal with five different scenarios of customer requests and refusals. Results showed that employees perform independent research largely on how to deal with customer requests, but overall do not adequately master how to engage with foreign customer requests and refusals in EFL. This study suggests that concerned parties may benefit training current employees in foreign language communication training.
