Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of implementing collaborative writing strategies on student achievement in writing with the main objective: to determine whether there is a significant effect of collaborative writing strategies on student achievement in writing recount texts. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental research design. The population of this research is grade ten of one of the senior high school students. Two classes were taken as samples of this study. The experimental group was taught using the Collaborative Writing strategy, while the controlled group was taught using the conventional method. The data collection instrument was a written test. The results showed that the use of Collaborative Writing strategies increased students' achievement in writing recount texts. Evidenced by a significant 2-tailed level for the t-test, namely 0.005 <0.05, which means H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. This means that there is a significant effect of using Collaborative Writing strategies on student achievement in writing recount texts. Therefore, it is suggested that English teachers apply a collaborative writing strategy to students' learning achievement in writing. Based on the observation of teaching experience it is said that students are more enthusiastic to participate in learning. They have the motivation to write. They are also able to create positive relationships when they work collaboratively in groups. That's because they have many pairs of eyes for writing correction. In addition, students are allowed to give and received direct feedback on the language used in their writing. Thus, the teaching-learning process becomes more interesting and students enjoy a better writing process in recount texts.

Abstract

Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach has gained popularity as one methodology used in Community-Driven Development (CDD) in approaching the desired change in our left behind local community in Indonesia generally and South Sulawesi specifically. UIN Alauddin as a higher education institution has one responsibility among the three assignments not only to teach and to do research but also to serve the community. In strengthening this function, UIN plans to implement more persistently students and teaching staffs community service with the ABCD approach. This paper discusses the ABCD approach and how it had been implemented for the above purpose. We evaluate how the assigned working group (pokja) from UIN had tried to implement this in Selayar Island and a student community service using this ABCD approach in the specific field of community health in Bantaeng. Finally we list the opportunities and challenges from the discussion to propose a better recommendation for future implementation of this ABCD for the local context in South Sulawesi.

Abstract

The present study aims to examine the current practices, constraints, and potential enablers when assessing students' listening skills in Indonesian Islamic higher education EFL classrooms. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The selection of the participants used purposive sampling. The study used interviews as a data gathering technique, involving six EFL lecturers in one Indonesian Islamic higher education institution in South Sulawesi. The findings show participants’ awareness of the various alternative methods to assess students’ listening skills. However, their discussions tend to focus on what is easiest to use as opposed to what matters most for students’ listening skills. Furthermore, participants’ descriptions of EFL lecturers’ constraints in assessing listening skills encompass various educational aspects, which could be classified into resources and practical constraints. The former includes a lack of representative language laboratories and learning resources for conducting quality listening assessment practices. The latter relates to time constraints, auditory surroundings, and designing and developing listening assessment instruments. Therefore, the participants raised several key strategies to enhance quality listening assessment practices, ranging from resources to practical strategies. This includes a high quality and sufficient quantity of educational resources, the use of diverse and authentic assessment tasks, and more collaborative work to share best practices and experience in conducting quality listening assessment practices. These findings imply the need for reformulation of existing practices and policies related to foreign language assessment that could have significant impacts on EFL students, teachers, and classrooms.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the various types of slips of the tongue produced by students of the English and Literature Department at the State Islamic University of Alauddin Makassar during seminar proposal presentations. It also sought to explore the underlying factors contributing to the occurrence of these speech errors. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from five participants through audio recordings and follow-up interviews.  The findings revealed six types of slips of the tongue based on Fromkin’s (1973) classification: anticipation, exchange, addition, perseveration, substitution, and deletion, with addition being the most frequent. Interview results indicated that cognitive load was the main contributing factor, categorized into intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load. These findings suggest that slips of the tongue are closely linked to the cognitive demands students face during formal academic speaking tasks.
