Abstract

Comprehensive teaching-learning about speaking evaluation, especially peer evaluation, is conspicuous by its absence in English Foreign Language (EFL) Speaking classes at all secondary and tertiary levels in Indonesia, especially in Aceh, This comparative research study looks at the various aspects used for evaluation and especially looks at peer evaluation in EFL speaking classes in Aceh. The paper describes twenty three (23) components recommended for evaluation of speaking communications: the seen, the spoken and the script (content) components. The results showed that teachers of EFL speaking are not using and are not even taught such detailed evaluation systems. Moreover the syllabi for speaking English at upper secondary level are severely lacking as are those used in tertiary courses. Educators need to learn from the Toastmasters International systems for evaluation and for making evaluation speeches, in particular the need to prioritise praise in evaluation with only a pointer or two on how to improve the next speech. This paper includes a simplified format for peer evaluations that students can easily be taught to use and also stresses the need for praise, not punishment, for successful evaluation. Teachers of Speaking English EFL, who practice the recommendations from this paper, should get much better results from their students.

Abstract

For English teaching practice, productive talks that spur students’ comprehension, creativity, and problem-solving ability are vital. This research aimed at finding out the spoken discourse based on six phases of microstructure in English classrooms. The data were obtained recordings and observations of two English teachers, chosen through purposive sampling, from Islamic senior high schools in Aceh. The data were concerned with the lexical density or the ratio of content to grammatical or function words within a clause. They were analyzed through thematic analysis which consists of five steps: data familiarization, code generation, theme search, themes revision, and theme definition. It was found that the total lexical density obtained by the first teacher in Class A was 63.66% and in class, B was 66.52%, while the second teacher in Class A was 71. 74% and in Class B was 68.12%. The second teacher 2 in Class A had a higher lexical density than the first teacher even though both of them are considered to produce a high lexical density of around 60-70%. The formality of spoken discourse of the two teachers shows that the first teacher produced 172.5 while the second teacher produced 184. It means that the second teacher's spoken discourse was more formal than the first teacher’s discourse. To analyze the utterances of teachers and to find the density of language used in the classrooms during the teaching and learning process is important because they implicitly inform whether the language used is understandable for the students or not.

Abstract

While online learning has advantages, it also poses challenges, notably the lack of personal connection between educators and students, impacting the psychological aspect of learning. The pandemic period further highlighted issues like technological disparities and limited lecturers' competence in using learning applications, affecting the effectiveness of online education. Ensuring a quality educational experience is crucial. This study examines lecturers' satisfaction with videoconference-based virtual meeting applications in teaching-learning activities at a private college. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study explored lecturers' satisfaction. The findings indicate that while virtual meetings might not guarantee improvements in students' English skills, the lecturers were satisfied with the system's implementation. Collaborative teaching through virtual meetings balanced asynchronous learning with direct feedback, fostering class interaction and satisfying the urge for distance learning. The study sheds light on lecturers' satisfaction with virtual meeting applications, underscoring the need to address challenges to enhance online education's effectiveness and quality.

Abstract

The research investigated the cohesive devices used in EFL students' recount texts and the problems encountered during their writing. 33 high school students' essays were analyzed, and the students were interviewed. The findings showed that all five types of cohesive devices appeared in the students' writings, with reference the most, followed by a conjunction, lexical cohesion, ellipsis, and substitution the least. Three types of cohesive devices were identified as problematic to the students: conjunction, reference, and lexical cohesion. Four reasons were further found for the students' difficulty in using the cohesive devices: pure error, absence of knowledge, overuse, and lack of writing practice. These findings may give new insights for language teachers in the attempt to understand the causes that lead to cohesion problems in students' writing so that proper measures can be taken to address them and improve the quality of their writing generally.

Abstract

A proposal seminar presentation is one of the compulsory activities that university students must undertake before writing their thesis. This usually causes anxiety for students because they have to present their research proposals in front of lecturers as reviewers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types and causes of speaking anxiety among English Education Department students at Universitas Syiah Kuala during their proposal seminar presentations. This study used a descriptive qualitative design in which questionnaires, interviews and observation were employed as research instruments. The data were collected from ten students who were presenting their research proposals. The analysis, involving percentages and transcript examination, revealed three types of speaking anxiety: test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of evaluation. Test anxiety emerged as the most prevalent type. Additionally, the study identified three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: fear of making mistakes, insufficient knowledge, and low self-confidence.

Abstract

The study aims to identify challenges teachers and students face in this process at an Islamic bilingual middle boarding school in Aceh, Indonesia. The participants included 27 boarding school students, one English teacher, and one Arabic teacher. The collected data underwent analysis using the interactive analysis model, which involves data reduction, display, and verification. The analysis focuses on specific activities within five categories: (1) mufradat (vocabulary), (2) controlling language use, (3) muhadasah (conversational activities), (4) competition, and (5) cooperation. The findings revealed that not all specified activities were consistently carried out, with each category featuring three implemented activities: daily vocabulary memorization, language festivals, and the application of punishments. The interviews brought forth challenges such as teachers' language proficiency limitations, students' low motivation, and a tendency to use the Indonesian language when unsupervised. These insights provide valuable guidance for similar boarding institutions that implement comparable language programs.

Abstract

Given that researchers aim to publish in prestigious journals, understanding the rhetorical organization of such publications is crucial. While this topic has been extensively studied, existing research has yet to explore how authors in reputable journals engage with prior literature. To fill this gap, the present study intends to analyze how research article authors respond to other earlier literature in their research article introductions (RAIs) published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. This study aims to achieve two objectives: to find out to what extent responding to other earlier literature is important in RAIs, and to discover what types of response authors employ in their RAIs. To achieve these goals, this study employed combined descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches for analyzing 40 RAIs published in Q1 journals as data sets in the present study. Then, a new analytical framework was designed to respond to the above objectives. The results indicated that responding to other earlier literature is obligatory in RAIs published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. In responding to other earlier literature, authors employed three types of response: either extending other earlier studies, modifying other earlier studies, or establishing a new method, idea, or knowledge. This study offers theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of how research article authors engage with prior literature within their RAIs. Its practical implications include guiding researchers on effectively utilizing prior literature to establish their research agenda when publishing in reputable journals.

Abstract

This community service was conducted in Gampong Santan, located in the Ingin Jaya District of Aceh Besar Regency, with the primary aim of renovating a space into an Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPA). The newly created space is specifically designed to serve as a dedicated area for Al-Qur'an literacy activities among the young community members. As is known, the level of Al-Qur'an literacy in Indonesia is in the moderate category, even though it is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Recognizing this gap, the community service project sought to address the issue by providing a dedicated and well-equipped space for the residents of Gampong Santan, particularly the younger generation, to engage in and develop their Al-Qur'an literacy skills. Therefore, the community service project sought to bridge the gap by providing a well-equipped facility in Gampong Santan. By revitalizing an underutilized space and transforming it into a hub for Al-Qur'an education, the project hoped to inspire and encourage the residents, particularly the youth, to deepen their connection with the Al-Qur'an.Keywords: TPA, Literacy, Community Service
